J he is a proper top lad, rides orange mountain bikes for fun between racing mental motorbike races, and he's a better mechanic.than anyone on here easily.

FFS - News?

No, it's a programme where celebrities train with professional dancers for weekly dance-offs, voted on by the public, who phone in.

Aw.hi Platters come back on and get battering.folk again.we miss you're bitter riposts

I'll let the inappropiate full-points go, but it's 'ripostes'.

Can I just say, haloween, get fucked, I'm not buying your nasty cheap supermarket crap to 'have a good time'
Bring back Guy Fawkes and bonfire night

Don't we do Guy Fawkes too?

I agree with you about the cheap nasty stuff - whole aisles of chewy, over-packaged, e-numbered 'treats' and hideous mass-produced, plastic costumes and accessories.

And by Thursday morning it'll all be replaced with the same but in a Christmas guise.

What is impressive, in a way, is the capacity which we have to produce gigatonnes of shite for this sort of event.

Also, extremely depressing that we produce so much that is intended on a single evenings use before it hits the landfill.

I would wholly support making retailers responsible for the whole lifecycle of their products, including disposal.

ALL retailers, including heavy industry, aerospace etc.

Dammit for PM!

Fuck that - he'll make Volvo drivers tax exempt, give tax credits to anyone ignoring long term DIY jobs and turn anyone who weighs their own fecal matter into a weight loss tsar.

good news for timmy mallet

Finally, some good news

With more and more allegations coming
out about a whole host of popular TV
personalities, it's nice to have a
little bit of light in the dark.
In amongst all the horror this week,
we've also been inundated with stories
about just how professional, lovely
and unpervy Timmy Mallett is.
He sticks around after his public
appearances to let any kids smack him
over the head with his mallet, he
always makes a point of telling any
dancers he uses how great they are -
and he reserves his cheeky chat for
the mums...

FYI Timmy is a big fan of the Keswick
pencil museum.

Met Timmy Mallet on a commuter train to Henley. Stood inbetween cabins. He'd helped his elderly companion into the firstclass coach, and given her his seat. He was a down-to-earth, and actually pretty witty guy.

If I'm honest, when I spotted him, I was all set for him to be a complete cnut.

Naming the hurricane after his hair was a good comeback.
