    I work in hotels and every time a fire alarm goes off you always have a handful of guests who think it's only in their room. The funniest thing is when it happens around check out time and they phone reception saying "why are you sounding an alarm in my room?! I've got another 30 minutes until check out." Yes sir, we actually sound alarms to get people out the rooms, and the really late ones we break the door down with a hose in hand 😂

    My favorite part about the perrier award story is that Noel Fielding was also on that episode and he won Best Newcomer at Edinburgh with the Boosh a few years later. What a fantastically funny panel
