Older but not necessarily wiser.
Phil Thompson nearly ran me over and Sammy Lee told me I look like Eric Clapton. Not sure which was worse.
Once complimented on my beard by Jeremy Corbyn.
Would put cauliflower and Mick Hucknall into Room 101.

Going to have a crack at doing the 'a new album every day' thing, BUT, for practical reasons, not necessarily 1 each day - but by the end of the year there WILL be 365 on the list.

Okay, here we go.
Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.
NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.
You know what to do

Folks if you think that an addiction alone makes you incapable of valuable service or competency, then I'd like to walk you into literally any doctor's office, lawyer's office, or boardroom in the entire damn nation. Plenty of high performers in there! Plenty of addicts, too!

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

We're so obsessed with what the government taxes us, yet we forget what corporations are taxing us. Essentials have all gone up - food, energy, water, rent. We're all effectively paying a corporate greed tax and get nothing in return. Successive governments have been too afraid to tackle this.

This seems like a good time to remind people that everyone in politics and media knew very well that Johnson was a bent, disastrous imbecile and that he was made Tory leader *specifically because* he was the candidate the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express would all get behind.

Probably a good thing that I haven't gone into the office today, as I've had 'My Life Is Shit' by Dirtbox Disco stuck in my head all morning and just found myself singing it out loud while making a cuppa.
That would've gone down well in an open plan office.

Q: How do we know Farage is racist, always has been racist and always will be racist?
A: Every racist thing he’s said over the last 50 years.
And every racist thing he’s done or proposed as a politician.
The huffing and puffing about calling him what he is can stop any time it likes.

Is it a sign that I've ordered too much merch and too many albums from @ianprowse.bsky.social over the years that I get excited before even opening it when the new one arrives because I recognise the writing on the envelope?

Hard to understand how the UK Labour party has even a single member left, seeing as it it has now become everything that you imagine someone once drawn to joining a Labour party is vehemently against. No one joins a Labour party hoping to punch down on the weakest and advance far right arguments
