    Hi Sam, a microphone is anything that turns sound into electricity. This could be the devices you might have seen around the studios that people talk into, this turns their human language (sound) into computer language (electricity). Or, a wind turbine turning the noise of the wind ("wwwhhhshsshhhshshshhhssshhhhshh") into electricity is also technically a microphone. So are those Clapper switches.

     

    The opposite of a microphone is a speaker (the technical term is "macrophone"). This is anything that converts electricity into sound, like a pair of headphones. Even a person screaming due to electrocution falls under the legal definition of a speaker.

    Andrew, figured I'd see you back about now, being as England flopped in the world cup. Reminds me of another time when the almighty USA had to step in to defeat Germany for you guys... but no worries take tea and crumpets or whatever and my condolences for the loss of your national pride

     

    We did NOT flop, we just chose to take some tactical defeats. It sets up a great 'underdog' narrative for when we crush Costa Rica 10-1, (and relying on Italy winning both their games helps to foster a greater sense of European trust and confidence).

     

    Andrew-- you do realize that cats are the best things ever, yes?

     

    They're pretty good, I guess. I have a dog, but I'm mildly allergic to her, so when I kiss and hug her it's actually like a perfect example of sacrificial love, yeah? i.e. She makes me sneeze, but I still rub her dumb face because she loves it.

    23, turning 24 in July. Which makes me about a month older than Mr Treese, so it really grates that he's got all this disposable income to spend on tables when I'm sat here in this cardboard box under a bridge.

     

    Ms Parham - you had a baby in April last year. Jessica St. Clair had a baby in October last year. Do you think she did this to copy you? Is it annoying to have such a clingy hanger-on as a "friend"?

     

    Also, could you explain how you get a baby? My parents told my school that I wasn't allowed to be in the lessons about babies. Do you have to eat a seed? Where can I buy the seeds?

     

    Mr Grawley, you haven't put a podcast out for over a year. Is that due to laziness or mere incompetence? Sean and Hayes manage to put one out every week, so come on, step up your game.

    Great script, loved it... just some minor notes mainly on how to save money for the production:

     

    1. You could save money on sets and props by moving all the scenes to one location, like a shared house.

    2. Scripted characters need auditions, actors, writers, time to learn lines, and so on - if you use regular members of the public you can skip a lot of that! They can come up with their own lines and even wardrobe.

    3. Encourage audience participation - maybe some mechanism where the audience could express their opinion on the show, like being able to vote off their least favourite character.

    4. If you don't go with professional actors then the "cast" will want some sort of incentive to be on the show, so there should be a sort of reward or prize available.

     

    But otherwise a great first draft, lots of potential just waiting to be released!

    ...Are golden showers more common in the UK? It seems like everyone is taking everyone else's piss all of the time. Is that where R. Kelly got it from? It seems unsanitary. Also, when you guys call a guy or male person "hard" it does not sound like you're trying to say that they're tough or strong. It sounds like you're talking about their [redacted] and its state of arousal. Just so you guys know. Another thing, I like how many slang terms you guys have for vaginas. I'm not sure so many are necessary. But I respect that.

     

    1. Everyone in the UK enjoys golden showers, it's why our teeth are renowned for their distinctive yellow hue. Urine is sterile so it's OK.

     

    2. If a hard man came running at me with a hard peener, I would be even more scared so I don't think it takes away from it, if anything it makes the whole package more scary because a hard peener is like a meaty lance (if you're built like a H or a S).

     

    3. We try and have as many slang terms for lady parts as we do for man parts, it's all part of our national commitment to gender equality. (Hahaha that's a joke, our main newspaper has a topless lady on the third page everyday, we are really awful at gender equality)

    Andrew, what you need to do is think like a big shot Hollywood executive. What might seem like an error or a virus can actually be a chance to grow your brand. From now on you can be the big letter guy in a world of lil letters. I think once you embrace it the likes (and $$$) will come rolling in

     

    Also, in Britain do you call Fry's "Chip's"? transatlantic comedy

     

    I wondered about growing my brand but I think Film Crit Hulk has cornered the big letter market.

     

    I know you think you're being funny with the chips thing but actually we call them crisps.

     

    I can answer any other questions you have about the UK (honlads can too probably, but he'll do it in a funny accent).

    i think the guys at a front of best buy are really there to keep people from walking out with TVs, i like your story tho, personal anecdotes make for good posts

     

    Stealing a TV would have been pointless because your plugs are missing 33% of their prongs.

     

    I am hereby launching my campaign for Best HH Forum Poster 2014 so your analysis is very heart-warming. Not sure if I'll be able to stand up to Big Money candidates like Mr Treese but I'll try to do my best for the little guy, i.e. you.

     

    (I called my sister to help me with my big letters, she pressed a capslock and now I have small letters again. Thanks sis, big kisses for you!)

    i think u might have a virus, do they have a best buy in england? you need a geek squad to save your private data

     

    WE DON'T HAVE BEST BUY, IS THAT LIKE CURRYS OR PC WORLD OR DIXONS? ALSO WE DON'T HAVE GEEKS WE HAVE BOFFINS OR SWOTS. ALSO I ALREADY HAVE A MAC, THAT IS LIKE A RAINCOAT BUT OUR WORD FOR IT, HAHAHAH.

     

    FUN BEST BUY ANECDOTE, WHEN I WAS IN ARIZONA (PLS SEE PREV. THREAD) I WENT TO A BEST BUY AND IT WAS ENORMOUS, AS IN THE LENGTH OF TWO FOOTBALL PITCHES AT LEAST, AND I SAID "IS THIS A TYPICAL SIZED SHOP OR IS THIS NORMAL?" IN MY CHARMING ACCENT AND THE MAN STOOD BY THE DOOR (THEY HAVE MEN STANDING BY DOORS THERE TO SAY HELLO TO YOU, IT WAS WEIRD) SAID IT WAS PRETTY NORMAL. ALSO I WENT TO ANOTHER PLACE CALLED FRY'S AND I WAS JOKED "I THINK IT'S SPELLED 'FRIES'" BUT ONLY IN MY HEAD, ANYWAY THE POINT OF THIS STORY IS THE WHOLE PLACE HAD AN 'AZTEC TEMPLE' MOTIF, ALSO THAT ONE WAS HUGE TOO.

    I FOUND A THING THAT SAYS 'SIZE', IS THIS RIGHT? I DON'T THINK THIS WAS HOW IT WAS BEFORE BUT I CAN'T BE SURE.

     

    I DON'T HAVE A COMMAND BUTTON, IS THAT OK? DO I NEED TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD (IT'S ATTACHED TO THE SCREEN ON LIKE A HINGE, THE KEYBOARD IS ON THE BOTTOM 'SLAB' AND THE SCREEN SORT OF FOLDS UP AND DOWN ON TOP OF IT... NOT SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, NONE OF THE COMPUTERS AT WORK HAVE THE SAME DESIGN)

     

    (P.S. IF THIS WAS COVERED IN THE SHOW I APOLOGISE, I WORKED THROUGH LUNCH SO HAD TO START LISTENING ON MY COMMUTE HOME AND I'VE ONLY GOT HALFWAY THROUGH. NO SPOILERS PLEASE.)

    YOU GUYS IS AGATA THE SAME PERSON FROM SOME OF THE EARWOLF STORE ADS? THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND AND I FEEL LIKE I'M PUTTING PIECES TOGETHER LIKE A COOL FILMS DETECTIVE.

     

    P.S. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE MY KEYBOARD STOP MAKING BIG LETTERS? I WANT SMALL LETTERS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE (EXCEPT FOR SOMETIMES LIKE FOR BEGINNING SENTENCES AND PROPER NOUNS.)
