General silliness, angry ranting, probably something about West Ham, movies and fuck the Tories.
So the Demogorgon will absolutely flee from an axe wielding Winona Ryder but can easily cope with getting lit up by machine guns.

Why do Burnley have a player who sounds like he's the resurrected corpse of Ian Fleming who's had to hastily construct an alias for himself in an effort to divert attention away from the fact that he's a zombie?

I have to disagree with you, BBC headline writer. That performance from Liverpool was still rotten. It's just that they were playing West Ham.

We have played down to Liverpool's level today. They have been poor and we have played like we just expected to be able to beat them without trying. Pathetic.

Not often I feel genuinely rocked by the loss of someone I don't actually know, but Bonzo was a true legend. We will not see the likes of him again.
Well, bugger. What a loss to the West Ham Family. God bless you, Bonzo. May you be forever blowing bubbles. 💔⚒️

And to think that *some* West Ham fans thought that signing Callum Wilson on a free transfer was a move of abject desperation. Not me, obviously. I never thought that.

[TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo]
—THE REST IS EXTINCTION—
2
[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].
SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys and welcome to the podcast
3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment
JON:
Ooh-er!
4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”
5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!
6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?
7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...
8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.
SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!
9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics
10
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?
SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.
[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]
11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.
12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?
JON:
Mm.
13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -
…and do you remember what I said, Jon?
14
JON:
You said, “No”.
SMART SPEAKER:
I said no.
15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…
16
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...
17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.
18
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!
19
JON:
Apart from one.
SMART SPEAKER:

BBC Four seems to be having a Doris Day & Rock Hudson marathon, which seems unnecessarily cruel when I really don't have time to get cosy and watch it all. Why aren't they doing this on a Sunday afternoon?

Been a while since I've watched Bake Off. What the fuck is a free standing trifle? Sounds shit. Trifle, but chewy..? It's a no from me.

I like when estate agents pretend they're going to pass on your details to the sales team and that someone will call you back to arrange a viewing on a property. That's a fun little game that I've been playing a lot lately.
