How utterly depressing.

That’s *got* to be a parody, hasn’t it?

It’s also, apparently, a bad habit that leads to trouble swallowing when you get old.

It always was.

David Attenborough turned the DG job down years ago.

Smart man.

It’s detestable.

“You’ve just seen your family murdered. How does that make you feel?”

It’s crept into so many things; you can almost hear the Repair Shop’s producers whooping when the tears come.

I’ve posted before about a football World Cup when lots of people of Indian origin in Wembley were proudly and enthusiastically flying George Crosses, integrating nicely.

So the right started “Reclaim the Flag” marches.

It’s impossible to satisfy its terms for Britishness (unless you’re white.)

Have you ever watched a news bulletin?

They’re utterly bonkers.

Shame they have the platforms.

Seconded. Have followed for a while for exactly the same reason.

Some serial killers are RS422, but those who are unbalanced are RS232.

Not twice.
