Just want to say congratulations to Harry Styles, who not only has a new album out today, but is also forging ahead with a promising acting career. Well done, Harry! I always knew there was more to you than One Direction!

Well done, Jose, for making all Man. U. games as exciting as your *record collection.
(*see Time Out interview circa 2005)
More generally I want to thank FIFA for their tireless efforts to spread the “people’s game” throughout the world, their noble stance against corruption and their innovative embracing of modern technology. When I think of what they have brought to the beautiful game it brings me to tears …
Just like to congratulate those great bands of the ’70s who persevere and tour on, despite the resignation, sacking or death of every single one of the original members. Rock ‘n’ Roll!!
My mum and dad went on a 60s weekend recently, where the drummer from the Animals (I think) was the only original member. Similar thing with one member of Slade this weekend, I believe (another holiday camp oldies jaunt, bless ’em).
Oh! I was at that weekend too…. no, wait… I saw a Muppet film where Animal played the drums -Old codger’s confusion..
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is old codger’s confusion.
I think the Slade one will be the artists formerly known as Slade II, with Dave Hill and Don Powell from the original group. Watch out for Dave’s enormous…wattle.
Looks like it’s a ‘supergroup’ called Original Jukebox Heroes, with members of Slade, the Glitter Band and The Sweet. Also playing – Fakin’ Stevens! http://www.vhpweekenders.co.uk/glamtastic-weekender.html
Gosh that’s a lot of ‘tributes’ innit?
Hmmm, not sure which members of those bands are involved…probably not any of the originals. I know that two of Slade actually perform as Slade as described, and the other two, Noddy and Jim, would have nothing to do with this sorta thing. The two surviving members of Sweet tour their own separate versions of the band, on different continents, so again it might be a more tenuous connection. Not trying to spoil it for you, honest! ; -)
I don’t think they’ll even notice, let alone mind. Always quality* entertainment at Vauxhall, Yarmouth!
*dubious
Vauxhall Yarmouth…wow!
The only place to go to get an after orders drink in the mid 1980s!
Not the rival to the Austin Allegro? I am dissapoint.
Especial congrats are due to Dr Feelgood.
Lee Brilleaux died in 1994. Wilko Johnson left in 1977. Gypie Mayo left in 1981, since deceased. John B. Sparks & The Big Figure both left in 1982.
They continue to rock.
Bravo, Ed Sheeran, for your dominance of the charts. It’s no more than your brilliance, range and versatility deserve! Top o’ the mornin’ t’ye, as they say in Galway!
Re: Glee, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, all that went before, all that are sure to come after.
“Jolly well done on ***insert spurious “achievement”/highly dubious claim made on your behalf here***.
From now on you, and not The Beatles, will be the go-to reference point for the definition of colossal success in pop music.”
Many congratulations to national treasure Pippa Middleton on her impending nuptials. After years of selfless toil and struggle, it’s such a relief to us all that she has found happiness with a member of such a respected and rightly rewarded profession. The only regret is that her insightful journalism and culinary expertise might be lost to us, forever.
In Swedish, “pippa” translates as “shag”. Fact. Have a nice weekend!
Good lord! I bit of research suggests that Pippa is also Italian slang for a handjob, or a wank, and Greek for a blowjob. Sounds like she’s going to keep her new husband very busy.
She has a couple of countries she should probably stay out of, I guess. Or at least try to remember what is expected, depending on where she goes. “Wait, is this the handjob or the shag country? I don´t want to embarrass him.”
You know that actress Pippa Pitt? Pitt translates as dick in Swedish.
Congratulations to the person who fixes the caps lock button at the Daily Mail website. And may I say, sir, that’s a VERY revealing dress you’re wearing today.
I just want to hand it to Jeremy for his wonderful idea of establishing a Minister for Peace. I expect North Korea is already rethinking its nuclear weapons programme, and IS will be chucking in the towel on its efforts to destroy Western civilisation. Had you maybe thought of appointing Diane Abbot as Minister for Adding Up as well? It’s just one of the super ideas you’ve had that will see a credible Labour back in power very soon.
This could easily slide from an insincerity thread to a sarcasm one. I would really love that.
To the tiny-dicked tangerine toddler-in-chief.
You are really really good at tweeting and tantruming at the same time.
Who said people with no IQ couldn’t lead a country?
Well done Tim Farron. The way you have grasped this golden opportunity for the Lib Dems leaves Nick Cleggs piss poor offering 2 elections ago in the shade, I’m looking forward to your complete dominance of the TV debates and subsequent massive gains in the polls. Good man
well played Mr Lennon….
that Yoko is a stone cold frikkin fox.
does she have a sister?
only I want to get in there before Paul.
….up to the minute satire there – I hear The Now Show are hiring…
Oh, just read that back and it might come across as mean – wasn’t intended to be mean..
Here’s to you, Theresa May! Nothing illustrates the strong and stable values this country needs than a convicted Remainer turned gong-ho Brexiteer, who isn’t going to hold an early election under any circumstances, no really, how often do I have to say it, oh hang on I’ve just gone for walk and changed my mind. Certainly gives me confidence for the Britain’s future! Pip pip!! If Donald calls I’ll be putting the bins out!!!
