In the news

Oh shit that was a month ago lol

Still interesting though especially as NG have had to ban visitors bringing in any liquids and don’t even receive funding from fossil fuels (unlike some other well known cultural orgs!)

To clarify - I also think the sentencing is wholly disproportionate.

Do they still serve soup in the cafe?

Think visitors soup is now discouraged

We all know by now that an elderly American gent has recently been elected as President of the USA.

Thanks to people like me - who continue to pay the License Fee - the BBC is also able to report that another elderly American gent, currently this side of the pond, recently popped in to a shop in Birmingham and bought some gloves. Fingerless gloves.

You are welcome.

When I sold strimmer wire to Roy McFarland at the local garden centre in 1993 it didn't even make the Derby Evening Telegraph, nevermind the BBC.

Great celeb meet you got there though, nice one!

Alice Cooper looks like Izzy from Our Flag Means Death

reminds me of this classic

Don't think I've seen this on here but this is a really interesting, well written, deeply moving (and quite unpleasant at times) account of the court case around the Paris terrorist attacks.

I can barely read it. Horrendous.

Did not know @Mr_Smyth or @RonAsheton were mates with GP.

With who?
I have been in Pete Tong’s kitchen a long time ago, had to be told who he was at the time though (90’s)
Zero interest in people who put one record on after another to appease a doe-eyed audience thinking the smell of each others sweat and tinnitus is cool.

Edit: never wear hats indoors either, unless the boiler is broken.

I see you're not distancing yourself from everything else your doppleganger is wearing.

Pajamas, Skully, GP, Joe

I wouldn't be caught dead in whatever that colour is.

I have a Filson jacket like the one on the right but that’s where similarities end.
Don’t drive a truck or do night raids on nazi checkpoints so the headwear is not on my radar, trousers are hemmed at the appropriate length and I have no use for white jogging plimsoles.

Jesus fucking Christ not again and not now.
