Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

"Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated, someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer."
I think this might be incitement to violence rather than Free Speech.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

Sorry, but a tariff on racey pub peanut boards is a step too far - even for me.

Having a pint on the Oxford Road in Reading. Someone has just put "Institutionalised" by Suicidal Tendencies on the juke box. Bloody hell, haven't heard that in years

While idly scrolling, I chanced upon this still from Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot, and for a brief second I thought "What, there was an American remake of Minder?!?"

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.
