It is happening again.....
Hopefully this time we can keep this space what it should be.
Fully retired but avoiding turning into Gammon, politically aware, socially variable and personally suspect. Riding the wave with Forest for another season :)

From now on, this will be my mantra to life....
"Dogs!

Antique, real jump,
Ridiculous.
Join their laughter.
The brothers are legal now. "

If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

Netflix series "Adolescence" was a fairly well made and thoughtful approach to a challenging subject.
Whatever the content may be, Channel 5 calling its programme tonight "The Real Adolescence: Our Killer Kids"....isn't......

Twenty years ago today, I'd have been getting pretty bloody excited around now about a certain gig that night at the Royal Festival Hall - the (somewhat unbelievable) return to the stage - after 29 years - of Van der Graaf Generator! An amazing show... (pic by Ed Clarke)

I'm confused by the decisions by sports bodies about sex and gender in their games. They say you have to be a biologically born female to play in a female designated team or vice versa.
But what about rowing? The Boat Race often has a male team with a female in it. Is that OK because she has a Cox?

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

Dear American socials
British socials did EVERY Pope/JD Vance joke you are planning to do when the Queen died two days after seeing Liz Truss*.
So, don't even.
Thanks
*I realise you may not know that Liz Truss was briefly UK Prime Minister.

Was just thinking Trump is maybe doing his tariffs thing just to give politics students something to study in 40 years. Then it struck me, I did my dissertation on the New Deal - about 45 years earlier. If I was doing it now, Id be talking about Reaganomics at the same time distance! Agrrgghh age!!!
