Mastermind - where Charlie Smithers answers the question before last 🤣
You don't hear the word 'Poof' on primetime telly nearly as often these days 🤣
I admire a man who knows his kitchen appliances 🤣
Doing laps of the garden?
Interesting use of 'England' there, DAG. Are you suggesting leaving the ECHR would require that the UK give up its claim over NI? Do you think sensible 🏴 would make a UDI? Both seem likely...
The DUP, for one! 🤣
The soldiers who died fighting FOR the Nazis in WW2 were, um, white German men. Disabled? Non-white? Jewish? They'd already been 'cleaned out' - the ones who fought and died were the Aryans who may have thought fascism only killed other people...
What could Hannity possibly have done to make *everyone* hate him? It's a real puzzle. Almost as if a person's behaviour affects the way other people perceive them... Did 'try not to to be a right-wing douchebag' ever occur to him?
Sounds like a fever dream episode of Rentaghost...
Impartiality, rigour, attention to detail... these are qualities the Civil Service prides itself on. Actions by Reform, whether at council level or at Westminster, suggest that the same qualities are actively discouraged by the party machinery.
There are two sorts of nationalism - the kind that wants its country to join the world and the kind that wants its country to rule the world. Don't confuse them...
TheY rEMovEd a whiTe mAn! 1. The man wasn't white - he was frickin orange. 2. That logo was as old-fashioned as fuck.
People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.
Crisp Ratt sounds like the next big hip-hop superstar, don't he? He'll be producing the next album by Busta Nut, no doubt...
Nah, you're thinking of Ryan Reynolds 🤣
Dick Cancer sounds like a character from a Derek and Clive sketch 🤣
How are they going to get to Scotland afore ye now?!? 🤣
Scottish media blames SNP...
Little bastard needs a clip around the ear. As if anyone should be listening to these shiny-faced little shites 🤦♂️ Rather than voting for them, folk should be checking their hard drives.
Mmmmm, large coronal hole...
Reminds me of the one about the dog who moved to Ilford because he was tired of Barking 🤣
Former snooker champion Graeme Dott to face child sex abuse trial - www.bbc.com/news/article... 'Pled', tho... who TF writes this rubbish? Sposed ta be the BBC fer Cliff's sake 🤦♂️
I would, but it's covered in fleas...
Letter of the day (in the Times)
Biddy Baxter, MBE (25 May 1933 – 10 August 2025) R.I.P
Is this the first time Hibs have beaten a former European Cup/Champions League finalist?
Mmmmmm, giant Yorkshire pork
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave. F.B.I. Is Asked to Arrest Texas Democrats in Battle Over House Seats www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...
Wow, the President of the Republic of Ar Souls did this?!?
weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him
For mash, get Smash.
Happy Birthday Wanda Ventham, born this day in 1935.
This is sew good...
I rather thought the obscurity and dryness of delivery by AZ was meant to be 'part of the TMS experience' i.e. intentionally boring AF...
Hi from the UK 👋
Underrated...
Alan Bisett, 2015: "The key point about the No vote was that it *gave away power*. We might've thought it was demonstrating our trust and faith in Britain. To Westminster, it only demonstrated our weakness and vulnerability. They have taken advantage of that. They were always going to." So true.
They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
Chancellor’s attempt to intervene in car finance scandal branded ‘disgraceful’
FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April. What happened next? Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht). Everything is for sale.
The Micah Parsons-Cowboys Relationship just sounds like the worst 70s prog rock band imaginable 🤣
Imagine going through all that *and* looking like Paul Eddington 🤣
Imagine a country that has federal regulations about the radioactivity of wasps nests, yet its people still elected a felon and adjudicated rapist as President 🤷♂️
Not now, radioactive wasps!!
'Ingredients: 100% Wirrn larvae'
Yes, this IS absolute madness.
A really thorough piece about Starmer. As someone who regularly deals with MPs, I personally think Starmer the human rights lawyer is long gone in favour of Starmer the careerist politician. Under his watch Labour is abandoning human rights and international law. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Sure he wasn't running from the IRS? 🤣
Bad timing, man 🤣
A man whose muse is not fettered by such considerations as 'Taste'. RIP you anarchic genius, you 😢
Ok, just had to explain a fairly rudimentary pun to an American... why don't you folks understand wordplay ever?!? 🤣
He was a good guy whether he was 🇨🇦 or 🇺🇲 amirite?
Um, he was Canadian 🤣
The bastard cousin of 'Cry More'...
It's not a private trip if it involves a penny of US or Scottish taxpayers' money.
Marco Tardelli - 1982 World Cup.
Cleo Laine, Britain's most successful jazz singer, dies aged 97
Pâté de fois gras.
Did you ask her for some PG Tips? 🤣 It's the taste!!
The real story here is 'What the Jesus is a "Voodoo Hun", guys?'
I can really hear it! 🤣
“What’s next for the hulkster? …..death”
Have we had better technical players? Yes. Have we had a better midfield general? Arguably also yes. Have we had better 'big game' players? Maybe. Has there ever been another Robbo? Assuredly not. He walks into any All Time XI, so has to be A+.
'Department Of Just Us' aka f**k anyone who isn't one of us...
I've just seen a post on X - 'Hey, who remembers Apple Crumble & Custard?' and I'm thinking 'Dude, it's dessert - not fkn Smallpox' 🤦♂️
If they're playing music in a public space, they're c***s. C***s have no taste in anything... because they're c***s. It's no surprise if they have no taste in music...
A 'heroine'. Not a hero.
I thought the brand name was Preparation Arse, but if he rubbed that on... he'd completely disappear.
Can somebody explain this to me like I'm a 2 year old?
I wouldn't say any of these were perfect, but they did get a lot of listens when I was 16. One of them still does...
I saw him come on against Leeds for his debut. Wesley gets a C from me overall, but many times he was Excellent.
I don't see what Nicolas Cage has to do with this...
It's just possible that no previous incumbent would have been such a massive dick as to post this about himself...
😢
J for Joke.
How very English of her to presume to re-write a bi-lateral agreement...
That cover art does my Hedin...
Happy 49th birthday to the actor who plays Doctor Strange in the MCU, what's his name...
Already there, dude.
The media propensity to run "police probe [cultural figure x]" stories is corrosive to our polity. Few if any of these probes get anywhere, but the No Further Actions never get similar prominence. And what lingers are the police interventions, as if such activity is normal and to be expected.
It's hard - the squad's in such poor shape that Bryan Mbeumo's Dad would be a 'ceiling-raiser' right now 🤣
Now there's a funny thing. My copy was bought on 12th July 1991. How on Earth did I manage to buy a copy before the release date??
The honest answer is 'Everyone who had a tv set, because they all looked more or less like that' 🤣
'Either they're having an affair, or they're very shy...' 🤣
It's the former.
You've got lower to sink yet, sadly. Thos POS already has every check and balance in his pocket...
Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com
Bill and Tim struggle with an unbreakable record.
'Bork - It turns a sandwich into a banquet'
Don't make it sound like it's my decision 🤣 but the extension of logic does tend to suggest that a High Court judgement means Officers shouldn't participate in any type of parade in their Uniforms. The Judge was careful not to take sides, which is what people should concentrate on...
I'm not defining anything and nor should anyone else. People need to not get caught up in the purpose of the parade, only to note that the question is of a blanket impartiality requirement for the Police - that's literally what the Judge said.
When you put dilettante rich boys who've never had to face the consequences of their actions into positions of power for which they're wholly unsuited, this is what happens. Cameron and Johnson are extreme, but apt, examples.
'Grig Wallace', anyone?
The important part of the article is this: The judge made clear he was not ruling on the merits of the highly charged transgender debate, but whether a body could officially support a disputed cause without breaching a duty of impartiality it was legally bound to observe.
So fantastic that it'll pain you to part with yours...
Sorrywhatpardon?!? 🤦♂️
Ratcliffe should know that a player's value is determined by the selling club. No point in him saying 'I think he's worth £65M' if Brentford want £70M. Pay it, get the player. End of story.
Flay Otters.
🎵Hey, Nick Spender! Spennnnnnnd a little time with meeeeeee🎶 dum dum-di-dum, dum-dum!
