    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I hope the entire Arab world stands up to him and threatens to cut off the oil and gas supply to US and a total trade embargo. He clearly wants to add war criminal to his total crackpot persona (if he isn't already)! I wonder what the world's reaction would be if he said he would bring peace to...

    Death List 2025

    John Cleese was only 36 and Prunella Scales 43 (though Sybil Fawlty was supposedly 34!) when Fawlty Towers was filmed. I assumed they were firmly middle-aged (50s generally)! Same with things like Terry & June. who were supposed to be in their late 40s, but could have easily passed for 60+. I...

    Things that annoy you

    It's a combination of government giving incentives to landowners (including the county councils) to sell land for house building, and supermarkets not buying the best quality local produce from UK producers. In our village in the Vale of Evesham, one grower i was speaking to on Monday says the...

    Exactly! I am tall so overhang the end of many beds, and have big feet. spend the first half-hour pushing the duvet up to untuck it!

    Things that annoy you

    I've had people (my Director being a prime example) saying "let's take this offline" (meaning an online meeting) in an in-person (i.e. offline) meeting. Beyond ridicule!

    I think you are right about Ertz. He was very impressive, and has been during the Commanders' romp to the play-offs. Can't believe Philly let HIM go!

    I think Dallas Goedert is a more effective tight-end than Kelce currently.

    It will be interesting to see how Hurts copes with the KC defense - he lost so many yards from sacks against the Rams, i think he may well panic as Allen did last night. My main reason for hoping for an Eagles win (other than that they are my boys) is to put Taylor Swift back in her box. It's...

    So ... predictions for tonight? I don't think KC have really been challenged this regular season, so coming up against a strong Bills team with Josh Allen firing on all cylinders, although they got a bit lucky with that 2pt conversion miss by Baltimore last week. I think the NFC game is too...

    Washington surprised me how effective they were in all departments. It wasn't even that close in the end, thanks to the bonkers second quarter. Hurts looked a bit of a liability for the Birds, with that safety and the number of yards he lost with sacks, but the defense stepped up and limited...

    My sister was a big Osmonds fan back in the day - and not just Donny. Wayne was a real talent.

    UK Health Security Agency and their pointless nanny-state "cold weather health alerts". Yes, it's the first week in January. It gets a bit chilly! FFS - the moral fibre in this country has gone down the fucking toilet!

    Oh no! That is dreadfully sad news. A broadcasting legend and wonderful person. He didn't sound well when he "signed off" from his radio show just a few weeks ago.

    Nice to see the Eagles spank Dallas last night. As the commentary team said "it doesn't matter who is at QB, this O-line gets the job done" (yeah, unless you are playing the Commanders, seemingly!). Pickens was Ok, but McKee did really well at stand-in.

    I was fearing the worst when i saw it was only 8 minutes, when they usually manage to find about 15 minutes-worth for most games. I suspect the NFL YT channel will just re-badge it as the "worst plays of week 17" reel!

    Jeezus - just sat through all 8 minutes of "highlights" of last night's game between Seahawks and Bears. Awful level of quality! They were vaunting Caleb Williams for not having thrown an interception in 354 passes. That's probably because he doesn't get to pass it that often, being sacked 67...

    My annoyance with it is that it spawned the careers of two of the most objectionable smug twats in the "entertainment" industry - James Corden and Rob Brydon. W*nkers to a man!
