My mother went to a convent school and for some reason the nuns assumed this was about the life of St Bernadette and took the school to the cinema to watch it. Not long after the movie started they made the girls get up and leave when they realised what it was about.

Imagine needing the help of your MP and being faced with this

Maybe get Mark King in to play bass

Some people believe one bassist is enough in a band but not me! Come back when you've assembled Jones, McCartney, Bill Wyman and the ghosts of Phil Lynott and Lemmy

I had a date with a lad who was really into computer hacking. Well, I say "date"; I gave him a lift home on my moped and we went to his room where he showed me he could change my Biology grade from an F to a C. I told him to change it back but he hacked into NORAD and almost started a nuclear war.

The correct way to think about the Lonely Boy question is to ask "is it better than Never Let Her Slip Away"

I saw the J Geils Band live once. They were supporting the Stones. Also Dan Reed Network. My friend embarrassed himself by shouting "I love you Dan!" at an unexpectedly quiet moment

This is an origin story. Keep watching to find out what kind

I think part of my bluesky problem is I block each day's main character too early

The idea that the police would be worried about seeming racist never rang true with me. I mean it never bothered them much before or since

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

The best schadenfreude I've ever experienced was when my old company went bust 5 years after outsourcing my entire department

Remember how I said there was very clearly one aspect of this story that had been insufficiently investigated and in fact largely ignored, and that it wasn’t the one the papers spent almost fifteen years screaming about?

Joe White on loan at Leyton Orient, I had him potentially down as 5th/6th midfielder in the squad.

With Longstaff also leaving, we're gonna need another CM for the group. No if's, no buts, no coconuts we cannot be going into the season with just 5 midfielders. #NUFC

It's also a bit of a gift to Farage as I imagine he's itching to bring up again who was head of the CPS at the time they decided not to prosecute Savile.

Reminiscent of "they hate us for our freedom" as our planes fly overhead, dropping bombs on their capital city

I watched it a couple of days ago. It's one of those whenever I channel hop on scheduled legacy channels and it pops up I have to watch it again

I love this movie. I don't believe in guilty pleasures but if I had one this would be it. I didn't even realise it's based on the tabletop game until the 3rd or 4th viewing.

I know this isn't really the point but aren't they thinking of Iron Man

Well exactly, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's just no change from this second onwards
