    In answer to your question - yes, probably, but mostly on Wednesdays.

    OMG, absolutely. At the end of the day, the word Challenging is basically overused.

    Do they still show The Crystal Maze on Challenge TV?

    Everything is marketed as "the challenge" these days because people inherently love proving other people wrong.

    Challenging: How David Mitchell would describe portraying a character that isn't a posh twat.

    I really wish Mark and Jez would just stick to Peep Show.

    Challenging economic environment, challenging circumstances, challenging work roles, as David Mitchell points out in the link, we've been flooded with this word maybe just to cover up the fact that sometimes life can be plain awful

    Just one more word that has been used to the point of meaninglessness.

    ..dynamic..offensive..passion..etc.
