Peep Show, season 8, has begun! The premiere aired on Sunday night. Season 7 aired in 2010 and there has been some changes! Jeremy looks older, Super Hans seems reputable (waiting for re-addiction to crack), and something really weird is going on with Mark's hair. Great episode though, with the Mark-Dobby-Gerrard heavy petting triangle in full swing. Mark is trying to get Dobby to move in with him but can't seem to get Jeremy to go, all the while getting a job interview(s) at the bathroom fixture company Super Hans works at. Great second act, won't spoil it. Oh, and Jeff is back! Son of a bitch. Anyways, the show airs Sunday nights in the UK and is available to stream state side by the next AM from your favourite streaming site!

Sticking with the UK, this was voted the funniest Royal picture of all time. Prince Charles DJing with a guy who has a Daffy Duck tie on. Def news worthy.

The 100th Grey Cup was played in Toronto over the past weekend with the hometown Argonauts defeating the Calgary Stampeders fairly handily to capture their first Cup since 2004. The trophy, handed out annually to the winner of the CFL's playoffs, was won by an Argonauts team that went 9-9 in the season before 50,000+ fans at the Rogers Centre. Argo quarterback Ricky Ray was key in defeating his former team, the Edmonton Eskimos before shocking the division champion Montreal Alouettes in a classic semi-final to advance to the big game on Sunday. It was the teams 14th Grey Cup. In a city with so much sports activity, we are starved for championships. We have a major league basketball and football teams, both of which are going nowhere, especially not to the playoffs. The Maple Leafs are hopeless and their league is on strike. The Blue Jays may provide some excitement in the coming year.. but a World Series team? Not so sure. Since the Toronto Maple Leafs thirteenth Stanley Cup in 1967, there have been two Blue Jays World Series championships (1992, 1993) and six Grey Cups (83, 91, 96, 97, 04, 12).

Despite both sides of the table being stubborn jerks something was finally agreed upon: they can't solve this. So the NHL and the NHL Players Association have decided to us the Federal Mediation and Concilliation Service with hopes of ending the lock out and salvaging some kind of season. The two sides are expected meet at an undisclosed location Wednesday with mediators, who at least should bore them into making a deal fast. "While we have no particular level of expectation going into this process, we welcome a new approach in trying to reach a resolution of the ongoing labor dispute at the earliest possible date," said NHL troll Gary Bettman's right hand manned, deputy commissioner Bill Daly. In old NHL game news, one year ago today the Leafs took on the Ducks on a Sunday and beat up on them 5-2, with Bozak scoring a pair, Joey Crabb, Clarke McArthur and Luke Schenn scoring singles, Schenn's on and empty new from his own end. Corey Perry and former Leaf Francois Beauchemin replied for Anaheim. Highlights below!
