Very much the advise of people who hadn’t taken a bus since they were kids. What even was the mechanism there? Were you just supposed to jump out in front of it?

“No, I definitely wouldn’t call Nigel a racistz Would a racist promise me, who came her as a refugee, a peerage?”

on a "you broke it, you own it" basis?

As a strange man on the internet: nope. Any good?

Trump promotes making everything looking like a 70s brothel, black and red with lots of gold paint and then sticking his name of it.

It's not exactly the Parthenon. More Angus Steakhouse.

I do hate the newspaper use of "anger". Really, anger? Not like mild tutting or "this country has good to the dogs" and then getting on with their day?

When I was a kid in rural Wales in the 80s, some other kids, for a project, were going classroom to classroom doing a poll about fox hunting. Everyone in the maths class I was in, with the exception of a couple of farmer's kids, voted to ban it.

So, not that metrolib

As a Brit, I always feel ripped off when I get a pint in the US. Like, where's the rest of it?

Never underestimate the power of “it wasn’t like that when I was a kid”

That’s pretty much in the world of that 14 year old boy who reckons he’s slept with half the girls in the year.

Maybe though… maybe… bare with me… in order to apply to be a Labour MP you need to have a minimum of 8 kids?

I guess they desperately needed to say, “you know that crappy dancing show we used to make? The one with the middle aged people with weird rictus grins? Well like that but totally not like that”. So the Strictly marked it as Come Dancing: The Next Generation
November 3, 2025 at 11:13 AM
Sort of made sense in context. Come Dancing but with a tacit reference to the Baz Lerman film Strictly Ballroom. We’re come dancing but for the 2000s

Imagine if Surrey council had to provide him emergency accommodation.

Might have turned his head. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor fighter for the homeless

I mean, probably not. Spin his rollerdex of nonces and dictators and he’d be off to Saudi

There’s going to be a time when people are going to start going, “they even bought a vintage CRT. A working one of those cost thousands. Why don’t these scroungers by a cheap flat screen one?”

Nothing says “silenced” like being interviewed on national TV.

Now I’ve got a mental image of Truss with a huge codpiece. Wrong Cameo but still.
