Bloody hell I go away for a few days and come back to find we're on the brink of WWIII again. My cousins brought half my uncle's ashes to scatter. He died eight years ago and my Dad's been asking for them all this time but this was the first occasion where everyone managed to get their shit together...

Even the faux Jamaican accent and him professing his love of punanni? That was supposed to be a Jamaican accent? I thought he was doing some weird bhangra crossover thing. I even pictured him with little cymbals on his fingers bobbing his head from side to side in a sari. As for professing his love...

Did anyone see Alan Bates' testimony to the Post Office enquiry today? I only caught a bit of it during which he was asked about a meeting he had with Ed Davey. He looked somewhat perplexed for a few seconds before admitting he couldn't recall anything about it. Which I expect is a fairly common occ...

I plugged out R4 before the Rachel Reeves, but expect she was pledging to use imagination to grow the economy? She was on CH4 news this evening talking about cracking down on tax avoiders and the like but I ended up being preoccupied by the fact that her facial expression remained exactly the same ...

I'm not going to lie Refit, I was expecting a musical offering from Steven Seagal to be as bad as his films, but unaccountably it was actually great.

Actually mental health issues *can* contribute to bad behaviour online - indeed it is a tell if someone suddenly starts being obnoxious or whatever on the net when they aren't normally. Yes it does look like a bit of an excuse in this instance, though. Indeed they can, but can they turn you racist?...

Sky'sGoneOut

As someone who's struggled with mental health issues his entire adult life and who consequently knows a little bit about the subject I'm struggling to narrow down exactly which condition could possibly turn someone racist and cause them to 'not be aware' of themselves posting multiple racist tweets ...

It is nice to have taken four points off Liverpool this season, given how crap United are. If it turns out to mean them not getting number 20, even better. Let's not forget putting them out of the FA cup. Ten Hag has to go though. He's entirely incapable of learning from experience, seems to have n...

Evening Sky, a week's optimistic i think, I took off a LOT of metal !

Dune: Part Two https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15239678/ Same problems as the first one, the pacing is all over the place, the characters are bland, and the script is atrocious. It looks and sounds nice but that's about it. Vapid, boring, unimaginative garbage. After 2 films and over 5 hours it's fina...

Bah, using a grinder is cheating, I just use the bottom of an old mug to sharpen my kitchen knives (ceramics being harder than steel). Although admittedly with blades that size using my technique would probably take about a week.

So now we have ex Tory ministers in the Lords, former supreme court judges, and 750 other legal experts, all calling for a halt to arms sales to Israel. And what do we hear from Labour?

So, the Kipper are just doing Harry Enfield, but seriously? Heh.

Well I tried to have a sober Thursday evening with the absence of QT but Man Utd have driven me to drink.

Oh no, The Guardian is radicalising young ladies!! I honestly don't know where to start with this, if it wasn't from the Telegraph I'd genuinely think it was satire. The Left has no problem with radicalisation when they’re the ones doing it - Michael Deacon Instead of vowing to combat the influence ...

I recall chilly weather in August being called 'backend-ish', hadn't noticed it had fallen out of use until you mentioned it. It's been completely eradicated according to the same bit of research that gave us the scone map. I can't remember ever hearing it so it must have already been on its way ou...

The correct answer. Indeed. However I was quite surprised by the Cambridge scone map placing the epicentre of saying scone wrong in the South and East of Yorkshire along with Derbyshire. I'd expect a expect a 'scown' in Pateley Bridge or Richmond rather than Sheffield or Hull. [Edited to say...] Ah...

That's all very well, but more importantly how do you pronounce scone? Because there's only one proper way.

Emmerdale's gone woke! I don't watch it myself, but my mate's ex was a scriptwriter and story editor on Emmerdale and if she's anything to go by 'woke' is a term insufficiently weighty to describe how left wing the writing staff are.

We seem to have a bit of a birthday bonanza going on. To be honest being born on April fools day does help somewhat when viewing life as one big cosmic joke.

Spent much of the day in Harewood, one of the few areas of Leeds that votes Tory. After a wander round the grounds of the country house my friend and I sought refreshment in the local tavern.

Matthew Parris is at it again I see. Nothing does more for the cause of assisted dying like saying euthanising the old and infirm is a 'good thing' because we can't afford to care for them.

Ok so I've just watched a clip from last weeks QT where Rod Liddle gets schooled by a school counsellor when he tries to claim mental health problems aren't caused by poverty because poor people in poorer countries are much happier than we are.

The controversy of the evening was of course around Ben Houchen. The woman in pink is the wife of the Airport Director, who's also there.
