Either he’ll be at NHS Confed 2026, or there could be a timely cabinet reshuffle just before the event. Otherwise I’ll be warming up my slow clap

Agree. In Hide and Q, he’s clean shaven, granted omnipotence and laughs maniacally against a rock.
Frakes was denied an Emmy for that work

My son has taken over the tv. Stopped me from watching.
Maybe not a bad thing

I’m still waiting for us to squirm through some early FA Cup rounds. Then somehow we’re at Wembley in May, and Madders comes off the bench….

“Current Political Class”

This is fundamental since Brexit was pushed on to us by those being populist as opposed to educated.

And being populist means appealing to the mob.

So who are the mob? How can they be influenced to think and vote for a head of state?
(Yes, this is all rhetorical)

Always so grasping.

Hugely entitled yet otherwise wholly inadequate people - who in the real world have literally nothing to offer - elevated to power and "princehood" purely by dint of their birth

Already did so this morning. Became Spurs obsessive in the 90s and recall the upcoming Villa games with dread. Yet in The Spurs Miscellany book I bought in 2006, we had the best record historically against that team at that time. Which I thought was rather odd

Exactly. My big brother had the corgi sky blue metallic version. He occasionally let me play with it. So I took matters into my own hands and made a TB1 with cardboard and old felt tips and sellotape 💪

Gerry Francis. For the ongoing rivalry between other clubs in which ex manager was the best pigeon breeder and theatre impresario (yes, I must hastily dive back into Wikipedia)

Oh- cultural refences? Probably a lot of StarTrek, Red Dwarf, but still trying to figure out musical tastes (heavy metal and rock in another couple of years)

I was 14. Aware there would be a World Cup coming up the following summer but no one was feeling it, expecting Holland to win it. Football was still part of PE.On the new school astroturf pitches strangely opened by Bobby Robson in summer 89.

Totally. He had so much to say. Really articulate and polite about how his injuries were handled. Might need to buy Take Note. An absolute stalwart to our team

Just driven into work. Halfway through a tremendous interview with the Titan that I’ll always affectionately refer to as Shaggy. What a coup to get him in for that first episode
