To be fair to the wierdo beardo corrupting the image of the best iteration of the best character in sci-fi, it is possible to really recognise the evil of Thatcher/Helen A and yet thoroughly respect her. Same respect that let to me actually agreeing with Heseltine/Kandyman on Newsnight on Tuesday.

These people make me embarassed to be a 7th doctor fan.

Put £15 in in the end. In my defence my 0 key is smaller and i couldn't hit it with the drink

Oh Go on then. Been seeing your fundraisers for months but am drunk and have just paid 200 bob for squeeze/madness tickets. may as well chuck a tenner in this as well.

Absurd that people who take issue with worshippers being slaughtered in a holy place say that you can't both agree with them and condemn different worshippers being slaughtered in a different holy place.

I didn't think of film cans, and so I had the image of a BBC man in a threads-esque bunker under old television centre opening a can of baked beans and it's just full of seeds of death part four.

Wasn't MedIbed one of the russian premieres?

Politics without principle creates a crueler society One of Frederick Donaldson’s seven social evils resonates in particular today, argues Douglas J. Parkinson

What many people don't understand about trying to be a freelance writer is that when something is published, lightning arcs between tesla coils in my attic and I go "It's Alive" like I'm in an old horror film. www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

Thanks for putting threads back in our head. just what we needed in this age of unprecedented global stability and calm.

The Anti-Cop Flop is going to be the dance routine of this autumn.

Saving this cartoon onto my hard drive so when you are arrested for it under the terrorism act I can get thrown in the same cell and get your autograph.

There weren't barriers, there was simply a time when the rich wanted to look respectable. With the rise of new money in the 1980s, from stock market deregulation and thatcherism, the association between respectability and wealth was destroyed. Now we get people open about being complete wankers

New Statesman website has had it's headline article talking about violence for the past 6 weeks. I'm quite disapointed I've even got a (gift) subscription (I didn't ask for) at this point, as if incidentally paying hannah barnes salary wasn't bad enough.

Deal to get ChatGPT Plus for whole of UK discussed by Open AI boss and minister Exclusive: Deal that could have cost £2bn was floated at meeting between technology secretary Peter Kyle and Sam Altman

As with all AI related news, I am left with the overwhelming feeling of "why would you want that". Not haate, not disgust, not a sudden urge to invest in American tech stocks. Just utter bafflement. At why anyone would want that.

Damn you Starmer!

What was the unbroadcastable joke at the start?

Theres at least 7.

An image of a bald man, titled with "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbreaking:_The_Worst_Person_You_Know_Just_Made_a_Great_Point for more detail.

Insane that it took a deranged nutcase like Trump to actually tell Israel to stop blowing up everything in sight. Honestly astounded given the number of nominally left wing governments who have cheered on this sort of thing.

Show me a dad who doesn't like gardening, beer or fishing.

You can still get a seaside day out like that in any number of decrepit yet nice seaside towns in the UK. Fairboune's a good shout, but I'd go at some point before it ends up underwater in 2 decades time.

Has Blankety Blank dumbed down or have I smartened up. Socrates himself wouldn't know

This reminds me of that one @foilarmsandhog.bsky.social sketch.

We've redubbed farting as "doing a presidential" in our household.

It's a made up drug!

if someone prescribed me a jeff innocent gig on the NHS it would cheer me up.

Good angle over road and rail links to the docks. Big brick building with plenty of rooms and windows to shoot out of. Control it and you could prevent any rail transit or use of the rail lines. Strategic position, medical supplies. A good point for attackers or defenders of the city to hold.

"increasing labour supply"

So bringing new labour into the country. More labourers. In the country. Who weren't there before. hmmm.

Don't worry. A takeaway casserole may cheer you up.

I think autocorrect may have got in the way of look around yous wonderful scriptwriting Gary.
