(1) except for the dialogue from the P&A special on April 1st, which came through unchanged.
(2) jokes harping on a comedian cord - we understood that much, I think; but what's up with the National A service?
(3) nothing lost in translation here, obviously.
(4) classified security-relevant information, therefore rightly encrypted.
(5) hmmm... this is still somewhat cryptic at this point, but there's more clues to come.
(6) for the philologists: 'forest' came from 'gümpt' via 'Forrest Gump'.
(7) uncircumcised by neck surgery - is this what he's trying to tell us?
(8) clearly an inside joke about Legate.
(9) so it seems Fungoltch learnt chat speak in his typing course at the National University of Singapore, right? I'd never have guessed that...
(10) Rudyard the Crocodile? Another eye-opener...
(11) original: "It's not racist." One of the intermediate versions was "This is not a career".

P.S. Yes, I do have a life, thank you. Just not at the moment.
