“Thanks but no thanks”giving

I’ve always voted Labour, but last time out I reluctantly accepted that only a tactical vote would get rid of our horrendous local Tory, so I held my nose and went Lib Dem.

In hindsight I’m delighted not to have given my vote to Starmer’s soulless ghouls. A Labour government in name only.

I think he just means he’s making a loud beeping sound while he does it

Ah, lovely. My dad had Citroens through most of my childhood: a GSA Special followed by a succession of BXs. (He’s gone back to them now with a C4) This takes me back.

I work in a high school and not long ago a lad stopped in mid sentence to check that I’d heard of YouTube

There used to be an account on the other site called Footballers Aging Badly that was great for these but I don’t think they’re on here

I’m also aware there might have been a bit more Quatermass in your early childhood than there was in mine

That is mental. I think the Bronson factor is that he was a figure from childhood that represented impossible age, older even than the other teachers, like he was a relic from another era.

If you really want to make mashed potatoes foolproof I’d recommend using a potato ricer. Low effort, no lumps.

Look, they’ve put a lot of work into dehumanising humans from “people in boats” to simply “boats”, can’t have someone going around rehumanising humans again, or there’s a risk that people might feel uncomfortable cheering when they die and think about helping them instead.

I found out recently that there isn’t a Gurdwara temple in Tameside. Which means there definitely isn’t one called Hyde and Sikh.

As a result of reading this I just looked it up and discovered that I’m older than he was when he started playing Mr Bronson. Tremendous news.

Five hours or so, if that helps

I bet you can make it in 2
