Ran out of Sandbaggers to watch. Well, save for the three episodes not written by Mackintosh, but there’s no call for them ‘cos they’re shite.

MSNBC rebranding to MSNOW. They could've had Embassy and nobody would've noticed the difference. "This is MS Embassy."

OK, we can row this stupid back. Just say you were misquoted. You said "a standard level of English".

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

Honestly forgotten just how angry that smirking diseased scarecrow still makes me. Kneecapped the nation with Brexit, to get a job he refused to do, and got thousands killed. All while laughing at us.

“Disgraced Former” should be an officially recognised title, with sanctions and prison time.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Absolutely love hearing John Cleese slagging off Fawlty Towers. Especially "The Germans", one of the most famous episodes.

Nice of Boris Johnson to remind us all he's a treacherous, disgusting, evil old cunt with the blood of thousands on his grubby little hands. Fortunately, nobody's forgotten, so he can fuck right off, right fucking now.
