That was my first reaction too, but then you see Leonard raising his cup/glass to the camera. Wonder what he was thinking, surely not that it would appear on YouTube!

Leonard is always gracious and polite, even when he is caught off guard or annoyed inside!

That's a joke, right?
I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later. No one ever listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record. Neil from The Young Ones

Well! What about the "New Game for 2011" thread?? I'm on the edge of my seat with that one.

@ Anne, according to Jewish custom, you do not write out G-d's name in full because if you do, that piece of paper becomes holy and cannot be thrown in the trash (there is a specific way 'holy' papers are destroyed). So many of us don't do it, not because we feel it's wrong, but because it has been hammered into our heads from childhood. HTH
Thanks so much for clearing that up. I'm not overly religious, but couldn't help being curious about the many references to G-D. Makes perfect sense.
