Snappy comeback there Moose. A 42-month fuse on that zinger.

The thing is, if you want to make it a modern day take on a predatory man and an innocent young woman then you don’t need to invent the spiking – they’ve had a drink, he’s pushing her to stay, and she says no, and […]

I just want the whole thread to be over

Who Breaks A Butter Mountain On A Wheel?

Mine goes:

De-Dum. De dum dum de dum-dum (tish a-tish a-tish a-tish a)
De-Dum. De dum dum de dum-dum (tish a-tish a-tish a-tish a)
A-wee, wee, wee, wee-wee de dum-dum

Poor old Theresa’s like a mother whose kids won’t eat their beans on toast and just keep saying that if they were making dinner it’d be roast unicorn every night. While refusing to actually do the cooking […]

He’ll make more out of suing Ganglesprocket than he loses in Aerial royalties, that’s for sure.

Burning right wing politicians at the stake is SO last night, Steve

Blair doesn’t seem to realise how toxic he is. I talked to a 22-year-old Corbynite firebrand a couple of weeks ago – built like a prop forward (because he is one), Peaky Blinders haircut, doing an MA in ‘Media’ […]
