Good News Week - Hot Spot - 17 Feb 2009 

I was hoping Shaun was going to jump back up when Paul was asking what superhero you would be, and respond with "One of those small desiccation sachets". I would've died of laughter.

"It's not me, it's you"

What was Shaun's obsession with those small silica desiccation sachets?

Special power: That power that refills Tim Tam packets, but for my bank account.

I have been trying to find this for ages! Thank you so much!!

@FallingDownDeep Silica Desiccation sachets or Silica Gel is just a small packet of either tiny balls or powder to remove moisture, usually, in a small box

Shaun is the BEST!!!!

a small sachet of desiccated silicone ..

Love Micallef

Fair enough. I'm pissing myself watching it, but I have no idea what it means :)

Do you have this whole episode?

just one of those little like clicks.......

what is a "small silica desiccation sachets"????????????

I see.. He does have that effect lol

Micallef is king.

Okay so am I like way behind, but I don't get what is so funny about the 'one of the small silica desiccation sachets...' someone explain this to me pls :)

That name ;)

running gags rarely mean anything its just something random that they keep bringing up.

No no, I know what they are, I just don't get why the joke so funny. What I meant in my question was have they been mentioned in a previous story and that's why Shaun referencing them is so funny?

it's a running gag, seems odd but funny

Now cut out everyone but Shaun please. Can't take it otherwise :)

hahaha.... tourism slogan for iraq. pop goes the infadel.
