Top of the morning to you.
Barry Cryer's quote about "what he was saying" catches it. Manning had better timing and delivery, which Davidson lacked, bordering on the nasty. I caught a Parkinson clip of Manning with Rantzen, where she rebukes him. The post suggests the opposite. He just comes across as racist, unapologetic.

Perhaps. Not totally sure his suggestion of tarmacking the road and improving safety is one that will actually stop parking. Has anyone tried this?

Indeed, the move to Salford, or was it Salfraud, shows tacit support for Manning, even though he hardly appeared on their roster. Nigel knows where their sympathies were.

To be fair, he's occupied the same position for many years. Not much risk of u-turns from him.

Having listened to the minister who has charge of effecting this, last night on BBC World Service, she made quite a cogent case.

If parents were better informed and had genuine discussions with their children, some of the risks would considerably reduce.

If.

It's like people voting for those who cannot actually dance well on Strictly. There's an element of Schadenfreude. Let's hope they stop when it comes to the one that matters.

IMDB shows he did a show in Las Vegas. Worrying.
December 4, 2025 at 7:24 PM
And The Comedians. I think he was on Blankety Blank which was BBC, but everyone was on that. At some point a show from a Manc club aired, probably his own venue. A lot of those Saturday evening shows are ( handily) a blur, a bit like Farage's memory.
December 4, 2025 at 7:21 PM
Bernard Manning was pretty much an ITV kind of comedian, so while asked to apologise for "everything", this request of the BBC now extends to them being responsible for other stations???
Manning also admitted he was racist. Farage might learn from that.

If what the writer puts is accurate, it's more like a statement against than any sort of defence.
December 4, 2025 at 4:07 PM
Hmm. I imagine a "mind the gap" tube station kind of announcement might have brought some levity to the scene.

I've been to Sheerness, but what a black hole might be like is beyond me.
December 4, 2025 at 8:57 AM
Somebody I taught years back would do that. She was a diver so impact on landing was easily cushioned & less than hitting water at speed. There's a lot of Olympic sports where part of me goes "have you thought about ... ?" Hitting a wall of water is one. Seemingly comparable to hitting concrete. Ow

Having searched on this I came across the term a "hypnagogic jerk" and my curiosity has been sideswiped. ... However ..
What I did see earlier is that the onset of sleep brings about muscles relaxing, which, if the forces acting are different, may give odd sensations.
December 3, 2025 at 11:21 AM
I'd be interested to know if anyone actually falling could go to sleep. Some under-occupied sleep scientist should look into this.
A black hole might allow for infinite falling time.
December 3, 2025 at 10:54 AM
Asking if they could see about turning it down might see greater chance of action.
December 3, 2025 at 9:56 AM
Did you emerge from the black hole after falling in? Or was waking up when you were falling?
December 3, 2025 at 9:48 AM
Once fooled, it's hard for those to admit they fell for lies.
Reform voters don't have the candour to highlight they were lied to and gullible enough to fall for it.
They'll find it easier to discredit these findings and blame "left leaning experts". It's what they do. The EU is simply laughing.

If anything the promotion of centres of excellence, partly about expensive capital costs, will create inequalities in a health care system which already sees massive problems with timely access being hard won.
December 2, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Slightly more sensibly, if the NHS was a closed system, less subject to external influences, better funded, scarcity of resource addressed, a ready supply of labour, well trained & qualified, with parity of esteem across the board, many of the questions about fairness would be more easily resolved.

Mitmachen. Also being disappeared from your house at night was a factor. This was happening from '33 onwards. The yellow stars came later, but laws of an anti-semitic nature came in very early. (7 April 1933)
Swimming against a tide of hate backed by guns is difficult.

Lack of ambition from Labour leadership? Wouldn't be the first time.
December 2, 2025 at 10:04 PM
If you read the article it makes clear they can. In addition that's all that so far has been recorded.
December 2, 2025 at 9:46 PM
A lot of 1950s B-movies now take on another dimension.
Also 1974's "Gigantic Land Crabs in Earth takeover bid", composed by Hatfield and The North. (Dave Stewart , the other one)
