Yes that's me shouting at the pretend players celebrating their pretend goal in FC26 to get down off the advertising hoardings because they might break something.
Pretend people nowadays have no respect for other pretend people's pretend belongings.

I did enjoy listening to the live recording of the Kermode and Mayo podcast from Dec 7th, but getting an echoey room to shout "Drink Hail" back at you repeatedly was rather reminiscent of films of Nuremburg! #wittertainment

The House Un-American Activities Committee investigated "It's A Wonderful Life" and found it to be un-American because it deprecated bankers and promoted communism, and people started talking about "the death of satire" in 2016.

inspired by "people on the world wide web" today Roach Minor is making carrot cake porridge against their mother's advice, but as I hopefully pointed out, if nobody tried anything new we'd still be hunting and gathering.

Can you name three songs that you love?
1. One song that is well known and loved by millions and yes you love it too.
2. One song tragically little known that many could easily love but, for now, loved only by you.
3. And at last one song that you know is hard to love:

I got "The Crooked Cross" from the library. Written in 1934 and rediscovered by a publisher last year, it's a story of a German family and how their lives are changed by dark forces in the early 1930s. It starts with a perfect Christmas 1932 and that's made it horribly easy to relate to […]
