Agree with you on the equal pay issue. If women are treated equally (and Barton does not) then there is no financially sustainable case for equal pay at the moment. It’s not like tennis, yet. No need to get abusive about it. Anyway we know women don’t know how to play football properly. They just haven’t got the hang of diving, simulating pain,…[Read more]

Apparently there’s a Mr Barton in the Lurkers Lounge asking after someone called Brian. He’s got his mate Gregg with him.

Sorry to hear about the Covid @brianN. I’ve only had it once but do get long Covid symptoms that would completely prevent me from cleaning windows. Very bad upper arm and shoulder weakness. A one or two other things you probably don’t want to know about.

“Well done to the Lioness winning the Nonsense Pottery Trophy. Those penalties were borderline embarrassing again. Don’t ever ask for equal pay again. Youse are miles off it”

Words of wisdom from Joey Barton, Moronosaurus, leaving his steaming dung again. OB, get a shovel and a bucket.

Hello World.

I see UC is also back @hunnybunny.

The last series has scarcely finished. What a farce.

Seems like the 25/26 football season is underway before the 24/25 one has even finished. What a farce.

I  see OC is back @hunnybunny.

But Derbyshire once had an opening batsman (who I once met) called Bowler. There, that destroys the theory completely.

You should be called Paine. That would fit in so many ways.

It’s satire folks.

Apologies.

Likewise Tin Tin is supposed to be a reporter and he never files any copy. Instead he just knocks around with an old sailor. The “test pilot” for the Titanic before its maiden voyage was actually a Captain Haddock.

Anyway I digress. It looks like Gregg and The Toad’s last series together will be aired after all. I for one will not be watching that SMUT!!!

Oh dear, I thought House was bad enough on that score.

Penalties. Are women any good at taking them? Judging by the England/Sweden fiasco tonight, no. But exciting, yes. England were toast but with a bound they were free.

He does a very good Toad in the Hole, allegedly.

It’s supposed to be every four years isn’t it? I bet they’ll be trying to make it every two years next.

Some comedy writer (can’t remember who) was complaining that satire was dead because real life under Agent Orange is so crazy, it is impossible to out-crazy it and sound funny.

Well done on the house front @hunnybunny. All that and the quiz too. I watched Bowie at Live Aid. People in the crowd just seemed to be having a good time. Much more so than these days where it is obligatory to film everything with one’s phone.

The latest set of tariff letters sent by Drumpf, apart from apparently being written by a child with a reading age of 9, have offended not only Mexico and the EU but also the Society for the Prevention of Randomly Capitalised Words. If there is not such society then there ought to be one and I am designing the t-shirt.

Sinner is good example of nominative determinism.  I wonder if the Russian for Anismova is double bagel?

We normally hear from @karen68 about this sort of thing.

It’s satire.

Wales win a rugby match – check.

Everything Everything are still rubbish – check
