Mrs ghost works in a museum and they've had a visit from an unnamed former MP who now makes tv programmes about trains. She was going to get him to sign a Bradshaw's guide and give it to me for Christmas as a joke but he was such a knobhead she didn't bother

Putting on my 'dead football forum mod' hat to remind everyone of the time the FA booked him for their Christmas party and he did his usual routine and they tried to get a refund because its not funny when those types say the word back at you

Possibly controversial take - the early series of only fools and horses before it was just Christmas specials and del boy became a yuppie caricature were actually good and an accurate and sympathetic portrayal of trying to get by in a country that has no interest in helping you Would be very funny if the government commissioned more shows about the misery of living under conservatism because they missed the point and just saw 'british' and 'mostly white faces' the sex ghost fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Sep 16, 2021 |

The real UK gold sitcom debate is whether the good life is praxis or actually just PMC suburban bores playing make believe. Also whether they were wife swapping with the neighbours (definitely were)

goddamnedtwisto posted:which does actually bring up a good point - when was the last TV show (or popular media generally) where the police were the bad guys? I feel like it was around 1997 and I don't feel like that's a coincidence. 2003 had the bent coppers in Early Doors who would turn up at the pub for free drinks offering to sell on stolen goods, and were always sort of vaguely threatening iirc

Seconding your advice to challenge it - best case they realise they can't enforce the debt because it's too old or the bill is wrong, worst case they decide they can't be arsed chasing it and pass it back to the original company so at least you're speaking to the people who can actually fix it

Does this increase the chance of Blair getting another leadership bid because if so I'm all for it. Him, Jess, Duffield, Kinnock jr and errr David Lammy so they can say they're not racist and also kick him out of the race at the first round because he once did a rude tweet about the police

Failed Imagineer posted:I really enjoyed the new Bond film, but there's numerous moments where someone in MI6 says "I need to call the Prime Minister" and all I could do was imagine BSJ wibbling on the other end of the line. Actually the whole conceit of Britain exerting any kind of influence overseas seems more and more fanciful. Otherwise good stuff tho Didn't like the bit in Skyfall when the baddies had to hack into MI6 to steal the list of field agents when the home secretary would have left it on a train or sold it to his mate
