Area Man

Another incredible High Concept storyline from Davey and Viz.

I’d forgotten he was involved

I have been largely holding my tongue on this but I have always loathed it. Spectacularly tedious and hackneyed melodrama about utterly unlikeable characters.

Madonna tabloid headline MADAME SEX Inside Madonna most raunchy music video shoot ever at secret UK location as Queen Of Pop continues to push boundaries

The Pub(l)ic Hair Salon, Scunthorpe Which unfortunately constantly has the (l) removed from the first word of the sign.

I’m not being entirely facetious. The first is an astonishing story about objectively The Best Royal and the second is so WTF it still surprises me every time I remember it actually happened

Was thinking the other day that we should have two specials of The Crown but they should focus on a) the attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne in 1974, and b) It’s A Royal Knockout

Bob Mortimer as John Lovejoy.

They’re remaking Lovejoy?

"Marge, I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anybody about my busy hands."

When Lana Del Rey sings about her boyfriend playing video games I like to imagine he’s playing Chuckie Egg on a Spectrum.

Arcadia by Tom Stoppard is very very good at the centrality of maths to our existence

I have never bought PE again after that. Or The Observer.

Cartoon titled "know the work rules". The first panel, labeled "appropriate" depicts Garfield the cat in a business suit leaning around the edge of a cubicle and pointing to a woman at her desk while saying, "coffee lasagna Mondays am I right?" to which the woman responds, hands clasped together, "awww you're so funny" The second panel, labeled "inappropriate", depicts a far side cow leaning around the edge of the same cubicle and speaking with a word bubble which contains only the shapes of the 4 cow tools. The woman fearfully picks up the Phone and says, "hello , complaint department??!"

know the funny papers rules

I didn’t, but thank you!

Couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's on here.

The other option is good cop, cop pretending to be a fish on the floor that keeps flopping around but won't die.

Which Way Western Man?

You’ve just reminded me of the absolute danger on The Other Place who used to obsessively post about how Starmer was having an affair with Angela Rayner

Oh man, I loved those things. Just had a bit of a Proustian rush as the taste and texture came back to me

The “Zionist BBC” eh?

You are trapped and under attack in Dubai - while back home in Chichester your daughters are furious, the labradoodles are sick and, worst of all, you left your Mounjaro pen…in the fridge???

YouTube video by Renegade Sound CORPORATION OF ONE- THE REAL LIFE (1989)

There are quite a few remixes too - one by Moby and an excellent one by Fila Brazilia. Here’s the Corporation of One track Justin mentioned, which I’m lucky enough to own on 12” youtu.be/XX0H2qPhe3E?...

Odd article this, which struggles to match the headline (basically, story it tells is Starmer kept being being pushed to abandon net zero by some advisers but never did). There’s room for genuine disappointment with Labour on envmnt, but prob most pro-Net Zero gvmnt in Europe today (maybe Spain?).

Definite atmosphere of clutching at straws throughout, with lots of “McSweeney thought the environment wasn’t important, hung about with someone who hung about with some pro-oil types, Starmer ignored him. Btw, McSweeney was sacked”

He’s an appalling grifter and fraud. One of several reasons I can’t bear Polanski is that he gives off heavy Yaroufakis vibes
