I enjoy comedy, art, music, veg growing and DIY.
Politically more leftward the older I become. I'll probably follow you back, at least until I no longer need you.
Green voter except Labour under Corbyn.

TV writers. When a character is in a threatening situation with, say, an armed robber, and they find a way to knock him down with, say, a cricket bat, for god's sake do what anyone would do. Finish them off and take the gun. Don't just run off as if he isn't going to pursue you 10 seconds later.

What's all this "yay, it's my birthday month" stuff? Why is that remotely significant?

Can we move on from the "they're doing XYZ to enrich billionaires" part of the debate.
We know. And it's shit.
What shall we do about it?

It'll be really disappointing if after all this Trump's name isn't on that list.

It's good that other chat show hosts are coming out in support of Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe we wouldn't even have the problem if the likes of Fallon hadn't indulged the ignorant rapist with shit like this in the first place.

With a bit of mental contortion you might *just* accept that there is a disaffected white underclass who lash out at sundry minorities in an attempt to avoid taking responsibility for their failings.
But why the fuck does Musk care? How does any of this have any bearing on his life whatsoever?

Old men commenting on YouTube. You can just say you like something from the 60s, without ALWAYS having to compare it to, and then diss, modern music. Firstly, you probably haven't listened to anything since Wonderwall, and secondly it makes you sound like a bitter, resentful twat.

I'm ambivalent about AI really. If it speeds up drug R&D it's a good thing, right? If it rips off creatives that's a bad thing obviously. But what if those 'creatives' write adverts? Do we really care?

I see the sensible grown ups in the centre are starting to notice things. That's nice.

Companies whose website uses that reject cookie screen where you have to click on 20 toggle buttons to deselect 'legitimate interest' can fuck off. One button 'reject all cookies' is all that's required.

I hope they come up with a better name than 'Your Party'
'Real Labour', something like that.

You just know that in 20 years time or so, Starmer will do a soul searching interview with Amol Rajan or someone, claiming how distraught he was at some of the measures he had to take. And he'll never pay, not in any meaningful sense. Fuck this government.

If Labour voters are so worried about the vote split, maybe they should vote for Corbyn's new party. Why is it *always* the left who have to make the compromises? Or might it be perhaps that there simply is no common ground after all?

I hate the phrase 'I couldn't have put it better myself.' Like they're placing themselves at the very pinnacle of bon mot artistry, and even they must graciously bow to your greater finesse. At least on this occasion.

Given how everyone who smokes has breath that stinks of shit in a butcher's shop on a hot day, I wonder how those old movie stars used to cope in the romantic scenes. They seemed to smoke continually in those films

Audiences, if you must clap during musical acts (and to be honest it would be better if you just shut the fuck up and leave it to the drummer), the clap comes on beats 2 and 4, not 1 and 3.

Are the centrists sick of all this yet, or do we have another round of mealy-mouthed refusal to confront what has been painfully obvious to the rest of us for decades?

The horrible family in that advert - especially the chubby kid smugly flaunting the fact they have some kind of vip access? I mean, are we supposed to aspire to that or something? If they turned up at my resort I'd be horrified.

How about we just stop fretting, and let Reform win. They'll obviously make a monumental cock up of everything and within a couple of years they'll be history and we can start getting back to normal.

I don't watch The Traitors, but it's very popular so here's my predictions for it:
Celebrities find it necessary to have a go, it's rubbish.
It moves to ITV. They introduce some new elements to make it more exciting.
It turns to shit

People who make films and TV drama - showing vomit coming from a mouth doesn't make you edgy. We really don't need to see it, we know what it is, just like we don't see piss and shit from the source. Stop being so gross you weirdos.

I have no evidence, but I suspect men who have 'My Way' played at their funeral probably did things other people's way their whole lives
