MOVE AWAY, JIMMY BLUE!

There is no vaguely philosophical utterance, made for example on the terrace after dinner, with a glass of brandy in hand, that can’t be improved by responding as if the utterer was Phil Daniels in that Blur song. […]

Poor old Moose. He sometimes forgets what year it is.

I wouldn’t deny that the print media has an influence, but how effective it is depends how much you buy into the ‘dim Northerner’ narrative. Just as pernicious, if not more so, is the impact of social media over […]

Oh, that’s good. I’m going to learn that verbatim and regurgitate it at dinner parties as if it were my own. Thanks Bob.

I have to ask, KFD, how do you find the time to watch all these clips? You’ve posted over 40 already. Don’t you ever sleep?

SEEN – Black Bear, with the always-watchable Aubrey Plaza. Watched it a week ago and still can’t work out what I saw. It hangs around like a half-remembered dream, like a David Lynch. Don’t want to give too much […]

You can generally gauge what kind of progress you’re going to make with a corbynist by measuring the amount of time that elapses between “Hello” and “TONYBLIARWARCRIMINAL”

Anything over a minute is pretty good.

Ah my flamboyant rhetorical flourishes have let me down again. How about if I edit out the flowery stuff?

“A lot of people, our Gary among them, are going to say that Labour would have retained (Hartlepool) by m […]

Well yeh but if anyone uses the construction ‘not on one door that I knocked did a single voter…’ while being outside the Home Counties you can officially ignore the rest of the sentence. It’s the law.

I should have added ‘vaxed by Matt and paid not to work by Rishi’ as well but that sentence was already getting away from me as it is.

Not looking good, is it?

A lot of people, our Gary among them, are going to say that Labour would have retained a constituency with an ageing demographic of home-owning, Brext-voting, gunboats-in-the-channel, […]

Poor form to recycle one’s own work I know, but I have done some research in this area:

I’m fascinated by this 8:21 / A21 thing, and when I say fascinated I mean, vaguely diverted in an […]

Ah Tiggs you have reminded me how much I loved this once upon a time. Haven’t heard it in decades. I will dig it out tonight and blast it to the neighbours

I love that you know it’s Barney McGrew on percussion. That’s top-level Trumpton knowledge is that. It’s the beard that gives it away, isn’t it?

That cymbal player’s all over the fucking shop, by the way

And band concerts every bloody afternoon – a ridiculous waste of local authority funding to have the emergency services diverted to the bandstand for half their shift. Clearly some dodgy deal has been done with […]

He had to leave because having two sets of brothers in the crew was just so confusing.

Same with the Dibble Brothers – Samuel had to leave the team, but they still refer to his brother as ‘Cuthbert Dibble’ as a […]

Happy Ed Balls Day, Bellows!
