Prof Edelman sounds like the kind of dweeb who screams at people in their face "No!! Frankenstein isn't the name of the monster!! You've ruined everything!!!"

How do all these people manage to be so weird and at the same time so dull?

I'm guessing that in 1980 or thereabouts you reached an age where you could properly go out on your own, buy stuff with your Saturday job earnings, maybe get drunk. Decades don't appear like a turning page unless you celebrated both Thatcher victory or the implementation of poll tax.

We also had student grants, social housing, private hoiuing which ordinary people could afford, available NHS dentists, cheap public transport and public ownership of utilities. There are two sides.

I was also there.

A decent burger meant Brooks or The Great American Disaster in Chelsea (and McD opened its first UK branch in 1974).

A decent pizza meant small italian restaurants not being killed by crappy chains

And Berni Inns posh? What did you think was common?

I don't know which is sadder. Is it the sorry specimen desperately trying to look like a normal human being, or is it the dim podcaster blowing smoke up his arse>

According to Spike Milligan's play The Bed Sitting Room, the role passes to Mrs Gladys Skroak as there are only about 16 people alive in Britain following WW3.

I was their first real visitor since they moved in. Their new-build was warm and comfortable but felt, with its mimsy rooms and bare staircase, like sitting in a slipshod Wendy House. So the flickering light wasn't unexpected; the accompanying guttural growl beneath the floorboards was.

I get the feeling Franco and Mugabe probably sounded similar.

Yeah, how dare these lefty evil rock stars make divisive statements extolling the virtues of... erm... kindness.

Balls. Now start reporting on your editor's involvement in helping Boris Johnson use his post-PM subsidy to enrich himself.

Seeing as Forbes is based in a country which is banning library books and deporting people without due process I think maybe they should start in their own backyard instead of lying about the situation in the UK.

One of John Woodvine's finest roles.
