Ah, the old 'strivers v shirkers' calumny. Wonder what category a certain Mail columnist falls into?

'Doom loop', the playground Goering says. If only we could find out what might be a rather big factor in this doom loop, pfft.

Yes. Next question.

Jay's like King Midas as I was told
Everything that he touch turn to gold
He's the greatest of the greater, get it straight, he's great
Playing fame 'cause his name is known in every state
His name is Jay, to see him play, will make you say
"God damn that DJ made my day”

BBC headline v summary. Spot the difference.

It's every day when actual headlines read like an @theonion.com spoof:

What was the point of that? Seriously? Yes, yes, can only beat what's in front of you, game time, manager shaping his squad etc. But farming appearances and goals is not competitive football. Still, at least the Ingerland fans got to sing about Starmer.

Finally got round to seeing ‘Black Mass’, just the 10 years late to the party. Very good, but couldn’t get Johnny Depp looking like this out of my head:

So will ‘peado-friendly wrong ‘un Andrew’ because it’s adjectival, so swings and roundabouts.

The Special Relationship has become an abusive one. And the rich, phoney British patriots cheering this on are Quislings.

That's an odd name.

A government managing the economy by a slight increase in taxation - or even just contemplating it - is 'taboo'. The absolute state we're in.

No, I don't, Gary.

Sheffield Park a decent place to think ‘Sod football, it’s only a game’.

Will no one think of the real victims here, Sarah Ferguson and the princesses?

I hope they 'partially admitted' by shrugging and then sparking up a Gitanes, and going 'pfft'.

Leftfield DJ set went down very well, thank you, with @nigelhuddleston.bsky.social and @lordyemsworth.bsky.social. Personal highlight an acid section blending into a cracking Song Of Life edit, oof. Obligatory poorly-shot clip attached. Note audible chuckles as KLF momentarily surface.
