I thought you said satire was dead?

There was a footballer called Terry Paine who made over 800 appearances for one club(Southampton).Players in those days weren’t paid over 300k a week so when they retired had to put their savings into buying and running a business and I like to think Terry avoided that ‘Running a pub’ trope and bought a window…[Read more]

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.

Brief return to nominative determinism see Lancs have a spinner called Ashton Turner.

I’ll have the Cullen Skink followed by a nest of vipers.

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!!!

Haven’t seen him clean any windows yet so can’t make any assessment on his tecnique a la Ridley.

Watching Bosch S1 and the serial killer is a window cleaner.Outrageous.

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.

Watched Ballard on Amazon Prime purely because I like Maggie Q (whats not to like?)Kept introducing a character called Bosch who it turns out has 7 series behind him + 3 Bosch Legacy series.Have started watching and must admit I’m hooked.The only downside is he likes jazz.Bloody hell 10 series?!?

I reckon any BBC presenter must be feeling queasy atm.In the current climate Maria von Trapp might get cancelled.

“She called me a Nazi pig!” —- Albert Speer.

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

I see Daniel Beddingfield’s shorts fell down in the middle of a live concert.I’d no idea he had autism.

Gregg must be cackling as his old mate/not mate John Toad comes under fire from a lot of middle class women of a certain age.

Believe it or not I read that idea being mooted somewhere before the tournament started along with an expanded 64 team event.Not sure who by,probably some Orc-like Infantino FIFA underling.Hopefully the poor attendances and terrible ticket sales will put the kibosh on that one.They had an Oasis like dynamic pricing system in operation only in…[Read more]

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