I feel like Ant and Dec fell for this too. Who lured them to Chiswick? There has to be a manager involved.

Ah-ha! Now I realise that when Martha Wainwright wrote Bloody Motherfucking Asshole (fab song btw) she was actually talking about that antler ceiling light in her brother's bedroom:

In your own home

With the fucking phone

And the mother of gloom

In your bedroom

Standing over your head"
