I’ve been hearing a lot about him lately from someone who’s had to deal with him over the years in Southampton, sounds like an all-round scumbag and evil bastard to watch.

As far as challenges with home lattes go, my standards are probably lower; but I’m very happy with my old-school stove-top espresso pots, and one of those milk frothers that looks like a Bodum machine (I heat the milk in the microwave.)

I don’t think I ever had that one. The amazing Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy singles comp was my gateway when I was 12, after I fell for them via a cover of My Generation by The Sweet(!?) I then spent most of my pocket money on ‘Oo LPs (up to By Numbers, at that point.)

A complete shameless fuckwit grifter: no surprise that he, like shitbird of a feather Jordan Peterson, has fucked off from their home on native land to trumpland.

Somehow, the expression “I wouldn’t piss on him if his piles were on fire” always comes to mind, when forced to consider O’Leary.

Oh dear, is he? I dug his England, Half English song 20-odd years ago, I thought it was legit and relatable and enjoyed the food metaphors (like Joe’s Bhindi Bhaji) but in 2025, after all the flag-shagging, it’d be a real stretch.
