Ask football-loving, indie-loving, comedy-loving new-look Lex!

So, Lex, how do you think the rugby world cup is going to pan out? Do you think England can adapt and play a passing game? Or are they going to stick with kicking? And are you glad to see the back of most of the experimental rule variations?

Shouldn't this be on I Love Football?

indie isnt allowed on ilf

Lex, who is your favourite Italian player of the past ten years? Mine is most probably Totti but I think Luca Toni was way underrated.
Lex, are you happy Cibo Matto and 2/3 of Sleater-Kinney reunited in 2011? Because I am, girls in indie make it way more fun.
Lex, do you care for Miranda? I personally don't get it and am a bit ashamed of British comedy at the moment.
Lex, do you think Rodwell will ever make it or was it just a brief hype that went nowhere? I still rate him over Carrick and Parker but that's not saying much.
Lex, what is your favourite indie album of the year? Mine is 'Belong' so far.
Lex, who is your favourite stand-up? Mine is Stewart Lee but I worry he may be getting a bit stale.

and yall didn't even know that i fucked up my ankle playing football earlier in the year ;_;

Lex, who is your favourite Italian player of the past ten years?

FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE <3 <3 <3 as per http://alexmacpherson.tumblr.com/post/5969024191/i-francesca-schiavone

Love Flavia Pennetta and her sexual liberation too.

Lex, are you happy Cibo Matto and 2/3 of Sleater-Kinney reunited in 2011?

i guess so, i only love one sleater-kinney album but i REALLY love it. i think i once owned a cibo matto album and it wasn't bad but i can't really remember anything about it.

Lex, do you care for Miranda?

one of the finest songs of the last 5 years imo:

Lex, is David Baddiel your hero, or do you see him as more of a kindred spirit?

lex do you have thoughts on this video?

they are all very good at lipsyncing!

lol @ everyone passing in the background going wtf

Lex, honest opinion please: do you think Mario Balotelli is:

a) mad
b) genius
c) mad and genius

i don't know who mario balotelli is

Lex what was your favourite scene in In The Loop?

FYI Mario Balotelli is a prodigiously talented but idiotic Ghanaian-Italian footballer who recently set his house on fire by attempting to shoot fireworks from his bathroom window. He then had to be restrained by police after he RE-ENTERED THE HOUSE TO RETRIEVE A SUITCASE FULL OF MONEY.

Basically the greatest human being alive at this point in time.

Someone says something like "if you can't remember his name just call him dan, they're all called dan" nr the start of the film (when I saw it I was with two Dans)

I can't remember any other specific scenes but it was very funny! But alastair campbell is meant to be a bit sexier than malcolm tucker

How did the house get set on fire if he was firing fireworks OUT of the window?

That's the logic that got Mario in trouble IIRC.

How did the house get set on fire if he was firing fireworks OUT of the window?

― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Friday, 11 November 2011

shortly after this, he fronted a firework safety campaign

Lex, is the new series of Rev any good, because I missed the opener last night?

Fireworks have to be lit from behind, so that bit would have been inside the house where he could get to it. It would probably have been a good idea not to have a load of towels/other flammable objects nearby as well.

i thought there was an ilm ask lex thread. anyway, does a lex like Wolf Alice? i like them a lot and i have not liked a brit indie band in forever. i would think lex might like the poppier stuff a bit...

i also didn't know they were nominated for a grammy! who knew?

this thread is oppression

so is your face!

i have seen the name wolf alice and have not yet been motivated to hear any of their songs

british indie especially poppy british indie \( •_•)_†

I'm reading The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories atm and the last story is where Wolf Alice gets her name from so idk she's like literary or something

so right on. great job, lex.
