Sorry people, but I've been fangirling over this for the last couple of hours:

Oh, Benedict. ♥♥♥ I think I died when Alan Carr asked him "Did you go to Eton?" and he replied "No, the other place. Hogwarts." XD

Also, poor baby being made fun of because of his name in school. I've said it before, but personally I don't see what's so funny about it. It must sound hilarious to native speakers, though. Anyway, I feel his pain, I had some awful nicknames because of my surname too. And people still get it wrong. Sometimes I get phone calls and the person on the other end asks "Miss Xxxxxxx?" I used to correct them and say "It's Xxxxxx", but now I simply say "No." After that there are usually a couple of seconds of silence and then "Oh, it's Xxxxxx, sorry." What the hell, it's only 6 letters, there are no Xs, Ys, Ws or any other letter that's not part of the Italian alphabet, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Whatever. Oh, and I've just realised the first boy I've ever kissed was called Benedict. And I met him in London. :O Pity it wasn't him. XD

EDIT: I'm probably the only person on the internet who didn't know this site until now, but man, it's BRILLIANT! XD http://instantsfun.es/

I tried to load this vid and it told me that channel 4 had blocked it in my country due to copyright.

IN MY COUNTRY.

Now unless Scotland has detached itself from the rest of the UK and made a bid for freedom into the north sea, I'm pretty sure I'm still in Great Britain >:O

Oh well. Channel 4 will repeat it no doubt. They keep moving the night this show is on, so I never know who's going to be on it.

So you can't watch it? D: Did you try on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy2DsLVrq8Q) clicking on the suggested links on the right? One of those might work. Or you could try here:

It's the whole show, but Benedict is the first guest, you'll only need to watch the first 10 minutes.

No, I can't watch it D: I'll see if I can load it tomorrow!

His name is so over-the-top British somehow, I don't know. I think it is rather hilarious. No US-born citizen would have either that first name or last name.

I've been meaning to watch this interview since it's all over YouTube.

And ugh, my last name is only four letters and yet people find it so difficult!

Well, the Italian female version of Benedict, Benedetta, is a very normal name here, I used to know a couple of girls who were called like that. Maybe that's the reason why I don't think it's strange.

My surname is so uncommon that if someone is called like that, we must be related. We should design our own coat of arms and form a clan. XD
