Morning all.

[tinyclanger2]

Indeed.

[tinyclanger2]

Vis a vis FTN from Thursday, certainly curious to see the really not at all fantastic Mr Fox (Harrow/RADA) refer to likes of Raheem Sterling (Copland School/murdered father) as a "spoiled" "baby" - woke or otherwise.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Did you know that Laurence Fox is a divorced dad? Not like you would ever guess it.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

He's threatening to pull his kids out of school to prevent them getting vaccinated.

I almost feel sorry for the guy, he admits himself his divorce from Billie Piper wrecked him mentally and it appears he's been suffering an extended breakdown ever since.

[AnatolyKasparov]

People in his position need to be helped, not led further and further down the garden path by professional grifters.

[refitman]

Xmas dinner with Richard Ayoade (Fox's BiL) might be interesting

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Let's not forget it was the BBC who kickstarted his notoriety with that Question Time appearance. Up to that point he was just some washed up, embittered actor with evident mental health problems whose career and personal life had gone to shit.

Anyone for horse de-wormer?

[AnatolyKasparov]

Oklahoma is now the strongest GOP state in the US. Coincidence?

[Sky'sGoneOut]

The footballing world sinks to its knees in awestruck wonder after witnessing the glorious spectacle of Scotland scoring a single goal against Moldova.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Pubs without beer, supermarkets without food, care homes without staff, schools opening during a pandemic with no mitigation measures whatsoever, is this some third world country I find myself in?

Hell no, it's Brexit Kickass Global Britain, marvel of the modern world, a lesson to all in just how horribly things can go wrong if you ask millions of fucking idiots a stupid question.

[PorFavor]

There's a pickles shortage looming, I hear. I shall be forced to take to the streets if there are no gherkins.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

If I wake up with that nonsense in my head tomorrow morning you're dead.

[tinyclanger2]

Quite.

Whit? Nnnnnoooooooooooooooo!

[RogerOThornhill]

Good afternoon.

I find this hard to believe, and I'm not quite sure how it happened but I am 62 today.

Help yourself to some cake.

[refitman]

Happy birthday Roger, don't mind if I do

[tinybgoat]

Happy Birthday.

Nandy's losing the JC.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Doubt if she ever had Pollard tbf. What a total whopper he is.

[refitman]

Doubt if she ever had Pollard tbf. What a total whopper he is.

No, but they have been pandering to the JC crowd. And this is how it backfires on them.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Tbf they see themselves as reaching out to Jewish people more generally, not Pollard and the JC.

Now I don't buy all the rubbish about Corbyn being a hardened anti-Semite etc etc, but some gestures were/are probably needed.

I think that expelling Jewish people from the party, might have been going a little too far.

[tinyclanger2]

I see Brexit is knackering construction.

And fake news got 6x more "engagement' than actual news on Facebook in 2020 (run-up to US election)

I've just seen this about an FOI relating to Lord Sumption...

Why we should cherish the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom for complying with the Freedom of Information Act, when other public bodies would not have done

Lord Hodge to Lord Reed upon hearing about Lord Sumption's resignation:

"That is a relief"

@RogerOThornhill

Happy Birthday!

[RogerOThornhill]

@RogerOThornhill

Happy Birthday!

Thank you - and others of course.

My day was spent swimming, gardening (rare for me), clearing out the cat's litter tray, and putting the bins out.

The excitement never stops here!

[tinyclanger2]

Edgy!

[Sky'sGoneOut]

The misery of travelling through Bradford part infinity.

So the driver of the 640 bus turned up half an hour late this evening meaning I missed the train I was booked on. He argued that he was on time and insisted I check this timetable...

https://www.wymetro.com/buses/timetables/640

So I did and showed him on my phone that he was half an hour late, to which he replied, 'That's weird'. When I then pointed out I'd been tracking his bus on another site and could see he'd been pissing about for the last 20 minutes driving around Bradford completely off route he could offer no explanation other than the site must be broken.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Happy birthday Roger.

Many years ago I was in a small flat with a cat and with one thing and another I didn't empty the litter tray as often as I should have. The tray was in the bathroom and one day a lady I had staying over told me she'd seen my cat using the toilet, the human toilet. I obviously scoffed at this but it was true. Due to my slothful and disgraceful disregard my cat had begun perching herself over the bowl and doing her business. She continued doing this for the rest of her life even when given the option of doing it outside.

I'm not sure what the moral of this story is, or if it even has one, but she learned this early on and lived to be 16 so for well over a decade all I had to do to get rid of cat poo was flush the toilet.
