If you came with a warning label, what would it say?

May cause drowsiness.

Do you listen to podcasts?  Are there any you'd recommend? 
Inspired by Alex.

Adam & Joe do a wonderfully shambolic podcast with highlights from their XFM radio show.  They're currently on a break (so they can make it a little less shambolic when they return).  They just chat about any nonsense that enters their heads.

Recently I came across The Lionel Show via WMFU's posts about Bob Lassiter.  I've only listened to a couple but I have to say it, he's a funny guy.  In one of these shows he decided to debate the existence of the devil and had a hilarious exchange with a woman who claimed she had witnessed an exorcism.  I don't think I can do the exchange justice here so I'll edit it and post it here later.  Anyway I'm sure I'll be coming back for more of that.

Another recent one was The Knives Are Out.  It's a UK political discussion show featuring two bloggers and a comedian.  Technically it's outrageously amateurish (you may need to keep one hand on the volume knob) and some of the banter seems to go nowhere.  Having said this they've only had two editions so far so it could get better - the people involved seem likeable enough so I have hopes for it.

What gameshow or reality show would you kick butt on?

Deal Or No Deal.  When it comes to picking boxes at random I'm a genius.

What's your favorite restaurant?

The answer to this question is rather dull (Zinc Bar and Grill off Regents Street - simple food nicely done in unpretentious surroundings)

The last restaurant I went to however was another story.  We had gone to see some friends "oop north" and they took us to an extraordinary pub restaurant.  The menu was huge - there were at least 200 main courses on there and while I'm far from being a gastro-gnome I thought this was a bad sign.

I ordered the rabbit pie. 

I got a huge bowl of gravy with some roast chicken in it and a biscuit on top.

Hmmm.
