It’s all about the music, still down the front at gigs if my knees are having a good day.

We are relieved that Nigel's case is over & feel he was lucky to not get a more severe sentence.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.
Trump says he will sue BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion despite apology www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president told reporters on Air Force One that he will take legal action against the broadcaster and will call Sir Keir Starmer over the weekend.

It’s Dave Mackay’s birthday. You remember him.
Here he is telling Billy Bremner to take a wee bit more care and attention with his tackles, whilst a beautifully bronzed Terry Venables looks on.

We lost one of the people off the coach so we had to leave them behind. We waited an hour, and informed the police. Hope you are feeling better.

If you're traveling by train, buy some fucking headphones. I don't want to listen to your shitty music, hear a crappy American comedy, or listen to a conversation with your significant other who's a bigger twat than you.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

As a lawyer I'm seeing a lot more redundancies in 2025. I can't stress this enough, if you are being made redundant - GET A FUCKING LAWYER. I keep hearing of people getting unfair consultations and being ripped off in their redundancy packages. We would have spotted them for you.

#TicketStubWed unusual one. Wife & son went on Absolute Radio with Christian O’connel & sang part of a Kaiser Chiefs song to win tickets to “big band in a small venue” that’s us catching him diving off the bar.

It's getting darker. Traffic is heavy. Commuting is tedious. But if you sit in a stationary queue with your foot jammed on the brake pedal you are blinding the people behind with your ridiculously bright lights. Stop it.
