'Are you over the age of 60?' asks the cashier in Iceland, for some strange reason. I'd no idea it was National Insult Your Customers Day.

“I could not possibly be a member of this all-male club, which I joined, erm, 31 years ago, now that a slew of negative media coverage has alerted everyone to it being an all-male club.”

Lovely interview with John Nettles, The Telegraph, but he's talking about Kenneth MORE, the posh actor. Yours, an old-school pedantic sub. God, I feel ancient. telegraph.co.uk/tv/2024/05/04/…

The hard left's belligerence on discussion forums, and their habit of using vitriol as a first resort, was a real eye-opener for people who - to pick one example - just wanted to shoot the breeze about Dr Who back in the day.

🚨NEW: I am told that Starmer is set to blame Wes Streeting if Sadiq Khan loses the mayoral election. Starmer said to be furious about his tweet calling Tories 'white supremacists' and thinks it helped get Susan Hall's vote out.

This is horriffic but we've seen it time and time again in various different countries.
So many ppl in the West are absolutely clueless to just how brutal the rest of the world is and just how quickly it'll rape and murder you.

I miss the days when bubbleheads used to wibble on about astrology, crystal healing, reiki, etc. The less pernicious bullshit that people in positions of authority could safely ignore.

Never seen this, but I read recently that John Mortimer was a consultant and Shatner's a kind of American Rumpole.

Since 1997 there has been an absolute explosion in the numbers of politicians in this country. Bossy twats popping up like turds in the Thames, Mayors, police commissioners, devolved governments. With so many of the twats it's no suprise our tax code is the longest in the world.

In my latest sardonic YouTube video, I critique the smutty novelisation of Flash Gordon. I mean, it's trying to be Harold Robbins or Jackie Collins with space monsters... and the kind of crowbarred-in politics that are now the norm in sci-fi franchises.

The Bill Nighys are late this year, so it's good to see a few recent sightings.
Do your bit to help this amazing species:
– leave a cafe table & chair on the pavement
– if you have the budget, hang a bespoke navy suit outside your house
– keep your silk sock dispenser replenished

I was fine when George Galloway spent his days supporting every murderous dictator on the planet, as well as a number of dictatorships that have specifically murdered gay people, but he crossed the line recently when he said something kind of homophobic
