If it's LBC, he'll have his own show this time next week.
Nice, funny-ish, a bit sweary (sorry, not fucking sorry). Ageing disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery, less political here than there (not much). Yes, there's gas in the car!

To be fair, he's not wro . . . hey! Hey! Get your hands off me! HEY! Where are you taking me? HELP!
Hey Google, show me a perfectly timed image
A bit wordy . . .
He could have stopped after the first four words, to be fair.
'Cos you can't arrest a thousand placard-waving pensioners if the placards are about criminals, but you can if they're about terrorists?
Once in a while I remember that Simply Red's debut album is an absolute fucking belter. The 80s production has actually aged well here, the musicianship is top notch, and it captures the freshness of Hucknall's 'white boy R&B/soul' vide, before it became schmaltzy and over-poppy. Lovely stuff.

"Nigel Farage has refused to rule out a link between paracetamol and autism" is the lead item on LBC News. Why? Why? He's not a doctor, he's not an expert, he's not a Minister, he's not the PM, he's not the opposition. Why is his bullshit the most important item on the news? Why?
The Rapture Wednesday, 3pm - The Village Green (Town Hall if wet)
Backing when I get home from work!
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD! Just the concept of Morecambe & Wise's 'Face/Off' has me in tears. I am SO in on this!
Ah, the first-time gardener owner: Years 1 - 2: Grow everything. New beds. Perfect lawn. Fruit and veg from seed. A man of the soil am I. Year 3: Blimey, this takes a lot of time. Now I've got to learn to pickle stuff. Year 4: That fucking lawn . . . Years 5+: "Hello, gardener, what do you charge?"
You missed "Batshit crazy" - happy to help.
Waltz is to the UN what Nigel Farage was to the EU - trying to tear it down from within, but happy to get rich sucking on its teat until that day comes.
@atrupar.com is doing the Lord's word in posting real time clips of Donald Trump's speech high(low?)lights. But everyone should really watch this speech in it's entirety to truly understand the sheer magnitude of embarrassment it creates for the United States.
"Wide ranging". Good old #BBCNews - never knowingly under-fashed.
Parpture!
And our representatives sit there and swallow it. Still, I'm sure they got some nice lunches and dinners, and stayed in lovely hotels. Trebles all round.
Somewhere in Hell Qaddafi smiles knowing his will never again be seen as the most demented speech in UN General Assembly history.
That's the Skeet, right there! All of them. ALL OF THEM. Just get up and walk out! Have they no pride?
He's gong totally mad in front of our eyes - and the eyes of the representatives of the entire world. We do realise this, right? RIGHT?
I don't know who our people are there, but it's time for them to stand up and shout "shut the fuck up about our country you racist cunt!".
I bet Kier and Charlie are SO GLAD they rolled out the red carpet for him last week.
The UK on Trump: Fuck off, you fascist satsuma.
Is he actually supposed to be talking ABOUT anything, or is this a "stand up in front of the UN and spout any old bollocks that comes into my head" session? If it's the latter, can I have a go? I'm far more interesting and funnier than him*. * Other opinions are valid.
He's a 1 then.
So what time is the #rapture then? Only I'm out of Custard Creams and I want to know if its worth popping down to the garage.
Y'know, the ones they couldn't be arsed to have a ruck with on the day, cos they weren't peaceful pensioners with placards.
Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.
Who now lives in America and is making a FUCKING FORTUNE off the anti-vaxx loonies.
Chris Mason IS the explanation to this.
“Hertsmere Council leader arrested for under-age porn images on computer” headline in 5, 4, 3 . . .
It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity
I'd kill for a couple of slices of thick, white toast with lashings of salty butter right now.
That poster is the ultimate spoiler alert! 😆
We'd have been better off with Ozzy Osborne.
I've no connections to him whatsoever. Better still, I'm more than committed to greeting President Trump with "hey, dumbass!" every time I see him.
I think they're checking to see if Vlad the Impaler is still with us.
LIMERICK It was the Medical Council’s belief, That as a form of effective relief, Paracetamol would Be next to no good From the pain of the Satsuma-in-Chief.
Automobiles - and therefore auto accidents - didn't exist back in the good ol' days. Don't see many MAGATs throwing away the keys to their pickups.
DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Disney and ABC's reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel is all about their balance sheet and nothing at all to do with ethics. You all do realise that, right? RIGHT? #FuckDisney #FuckABC
BBC push alert tomorrow: ‘The Rapture is here. Why this could be good news for Reform UK’
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
A cynic might presume that some people at #BBCNews and #SkyNews are getting VERY rich on payouts from Farage and Tice. I myself couldn't possibly say.
And they've taken this long to do anything that people will know they're only doing it because of the money, and not from a sense of doing the right thing.
Arguably the greatest thing the internet has ever given us.
Thanks Alan, I think that was one of my favourite #sts70s so far - wall-to-wall bangers.
Pint? #sts70s
Not just me then . . .
OK, who amongst us tried to get the rat-tat-tat on the intro spot-on? And - and be honest now - who failed. #sts70s #shitdrummer
If you did, so did I - but at least it means I'm not having a stroke! 😳 #sts70s
Correct - voters are unclear what the party stands for 'cos no fuckers ever report it.
And now one of Gordon's best n'all. You're spoiling us tonight Alan! #sts70s
There's really no better Prince than Filthy Prince. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. #sts70s
When I first started work in the early-80s, my boss fancied himself as a bit of a crooner, and he used to sit at his desk and sing this, but he'd get it mixed up with "If Not You" and 'treat' us to "Who's going to iron my shirt, who's going to sit on the floor . . ." #sts70s 😂
I absolutely adore 'Did you Ever', never fails to bring a smile to my face. #sts70s
Evenin fellow #sts70s passengers - jumping on a coupla stations down the line today 'cos those leeks don't braise themselves y'know. Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face . . .
"He threw the ball at me!" "But he threw the ball at me first!" "Yeah but your Mum's fat!" "Right, I'm gonna wail and throw myself to the ground!" "Crybaby!" "HE CALLED ME A CRYBABY!!" "Fight, everybody, fight!" Are we enjoying Premier League football? Fucking pathetic. #ARSMCI
Oh I can find other things other than gardening to be equally bored by! 😆
Flipping between the two games on #Sky and both are equally shit. The #PremierLeague really isn’t the exclusive guarantee of entertainment they laud it to be.
Congratulations to Chris Mason for being nominated for 'Political Journalist Of The Year' in the London Press Club Awards. He was nominated for his "fearless commitment to unbiased, objective reporting" by a Mr N Farage of Clacton.
I get why Michael Johnson isn't on #BBC's coverage, but we're missing his honesty and realistic takes. Thhis year's coverage largely amounts to "we may have a chance in this one . . . oh well, 7th isn't bad for our plucky boys/gals"
Don't think he did his best in school either.
Unless we get a miracle in the last few events, #TeamGB are about to come away from the World Athletics Championships without a gold medal - and our poorest haul in total - since Paris 2003. For the amount of money we pour into it - at the expense of many other sports - that's pretty scandalous.
The WT20 World Cup next year will be a battle to see who loses to Australia in the final.
I’d rather he swam with his mouth open.
Even if - as I suspect - she won't be swayed by this, it's the sheer fucking arrogance of these people. "Yes, I know it's a really bad look, and I'm opening myself and the government up to accusations of cronyism, but fuck you, you fucking plebs, I'm Rachel fucking Reeves, so know your place!"
If I remember correctly there used to be a show called Info Wars and the host whose name I don't recall talked at great length about how the slaughter of children was just a bunch of actors and not a real thing. I don't recall the FCC getting involved with this.
I'd rather fake headphone jack Than fake headphone Fleetwood Mac . . .
"Brexit was worth it, even if it's made people poorer. Because it's made me considerably richer! So fuck you plebs!" (Is that the full quote?)
Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.
Well, that and the fact it's shite of the highest order.
Got to say, it's one of the few things that's giving me a laugh in these troubled times. 😂
Surely the key statistic is that the number of police officers injured is higher than the number of protestors arrested. The score was 26:24. The week before, the score was 0:890 … #WithoutFavour
Wow, it took them 72 hours and that’s the best they could come up with? Not the sharpest tools in the box, are they?
Wouldn't it be fantastic to see Starmer stand up at the despatch box, wave a copy of the Daily Mail around, and shout "look at this shit, lies, every word of it, designed to scare you into submission, well here's the reality . . ." * Wakes from the dream *
Fair enough, I just wish they could be a bit braver.
Genuine question Alex, if I may. Starmer and his senior minsters should be trumpeting exactly your point to the rafters. Are they doing so? If not, why not? If they are, but no MSM is reporting it, why are they not trumpeting THAT to the rafters?
'Thanos had passionately-held beliefs which he was always willing to debate with others and he left behind two daughters he loved very much so I think it's in poor taste to celebrate the fact Thor cut his head off."
"Avengers: Capitulate!"
in Disney’s next Marvel film the hero won’t criticise the villain or even stand up to them
Cringing so hard I've almost turned myself inside-out!
Well Kemi Badenoch was there, but stupid and right-wing is Trump's thing, so . . .
Yeah, but there's a black guy in a boat over there!!
At least the BBC have been good enough to provide us with a handy mini-list of the fascist-in-chief bootlickers and royalty liggers, so kudos to them for that. Sad to see my ex-boss was among them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I wondered how long after he got home it would take for him to revert to the insulting, racist boor that we all know he is. Turns out he hadn't even touched down. Operation "take Starmer for a mug" a complete success. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Now America's gone fully fascist, is there any point in the UNSC any more? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
12 Grand? Did they refurbish a Concorde for him?
They could start by not inviting him. How hard is that?
I expect my government - particularly a Labour one - to call out and challenge racism, tyranny, dishonesty and corruption. Evidently you don't.
It's not often I find myself wishing we could be a bit more French, but lately . . .
