Apropos of nothing an old edition of Top Flight Time Machine reminded me what an absolute loving banger the old Weekend World theme tune was:

I suspect this more than anything else is what made me start paying attention to politics.

Have the full version:

it also took me years to find out that the middle 8 solo section was 'The Parting Glass', and also that this was what was played when my dad's coffin was brought into the church for his funeral because he loving loved this tune

Just got an email from Jennie Formby saying "With Boris Johnson's disastrous government now without a mandate and a majority, we are very likely to find ourselves with a General Election over the next few weeks." So maybe labour are planning to push for an election now?

not until No Deal has been well and truly pushed off the table

no no deal can't pass today, so they're not going to vote for the election today

Just landed back in the UK from Czechia where my brother's speech contained a cracking Brexit joke - "I'd like to thank the government for loving up Brexit and allowing us all to be here today" - and a bit about my dad where almost everyone in my family started to cry. Anyway, I'm now drinking lovely British lager and catching up on everything that's happened since I've been away as I've had no signal, and as best as I can ascertain, it can be determined as "STILL hosed LADS"

Having only seen it written online, I was more surprised to find out how it's pronounced. That's some dedication to avoiding an audible butt in your surname.

I think I've mentioned it before but American NFL commentator Ian Eagle pronounces his name as Iron Ee-Agle and it's loving annoying. And on beers, over the weekend in the Czech Republic for my brother's wedding, I had a selection of various local beers all of which were exceptionally strong and tasty

If I ever think of Wales, it's of travelling to Cardiff on a school night in 1997 to see Slough Town crash out of the FA Cup first round in a replay in extra time when, again, we should have won (when we also got all of the Cardiff fans moved right to the far end of the stand we were housed in, despite numbering 100 out of a crowd of 2000), 'The Holy Bible' and this song:

If it’s not crisp chat, it’s boat chat or loving cyclist chat.

I like the little diversions because they generally only come up when the thread needs the time to cool down a little. except cyclist chat, gently caress cyclist chat

just pretend I've posted that video of the cyclist in London who almost knocks down someone on a pedestrian crossing, gets off his bike then headbutts the person he almost knocked over

So Lord Gower and Ian Botham have both not had their contracts renewed at Sky for cricket commentary

Botham's probably have logged on to one of his alt accounts

it's a shame that Gower's gone because he's had two of the funnier moments on commentary in recent memory, first when he screamed on mike when Lloyd ran his foot over with a chair and then on Saturday when he was caught on a hot mic dropping an f-bomb. But Isa Guha's done a few tests for Sky and is in the TMS rotation and she's really good, Alison Mitchell is superb on TMS and BT Sport

Flint is the city that needs real help, and fast

Yeah, how long is it since Flint's had clean water, because the fact that no-one's in jail for that is an injustice. But as for Detroit, it's a city built for 2 million people, with a population riding around 600,000 working at around average salary or below. The tax revenue coming in couldn't keep the lights on, hence why it went broke

Important to note the city is literally floating an idea at the moment to bulldoze 2/3rds of detroit so that the city government has to maintain less of it.

Oh yeah, when I got a bus from downtown to the airport back in 2011, there were swathes and swathes of abandoned properties and, bizarrely, a very busy biker bar just out of nowhere. That stretch of Jefferson Avenue was very strange. Obviously, that bus route's been scaled back now to not run on Saturday's, which is a shame because $2 to get the 20 miles to the airport is a bargain

I mean why would he? This does seem to be the big thing (that the New Statesman article did not answer) is Why? Why go to all this length?
