Okay then, off the back of Shiv's funny-shaped heads, and Steenbeck's hugely anticipated Duck RR list, I would like recommendations for:
RR topics that will NEVER happen.
Leave your recommendations in the comments, and we'll compile a top 10 and post it on Friday's RR.
(hopefully this reverse psychology will fry Our Guru's head, and we'll get what we really want!)
