The BBC have also raised millions and millions of pounds for charity through Children In Need and Red Nose Day. DIY SOS helps to change lives. The BBC covers so many bases. We should cherish it, it has been part of what defines this country for decades.

Down Cemetery Road. For those of you who like Slow Horses, this might be of interest.

I am never sure if you are on a wind up, are being deliberately obtuse or just don’t understand the points people make. Whatever is going on with you, it is a waste of time and effort.

The flagship council still an embarrassment to Farage. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/19/reform-run-kent-council-accused-blocking-scrutiny-claim-saved-40m

When I was a kid and there was only two then three channels they always used to put on great Christmas specials and keep the big films back for Christmas week. Pre video recorders there was always a big debate about what to watch. They don’t seem to bother too much now.

You really need to have a look in the mirror mate. Those programmes were made half a century ago. Mrs. Brown’s Boys is being made now, 50 years on. What you really do not understand is the huge difference in the quality of the writing and intelligence of the level of humour in both Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers and Mrs. Brown’s Boys. Both of the former were pushing the boundaries of comedy. The latter is trading on the dregs of the worst of the past. You haven’t just shot yourself in the foot, you have made yourself look even more clueless than before, which is some feat. 🤪

I popped into Sainsbury’s earlier to buy a “This Christmas I’m identifying as a transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic twat” to send to you but sadly they had sold out.

Liz Truss as a “voice of authority?” 😂 https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/donald-trumps-10bn-claim-against-bbc-mentions-liz-truss-as-voice-of-authority-401423/#

Indeed. When Biden showed signs of losing the plot it was quite rightly picked up by the mainstream media. Not only is Trump’s loss of plot on a far bigglier scale, but the mainstream media are giving him a far easier ride. I was concerned that he might somehow orchestrate a third term (declare war on someone and cancel the next election?) but the way things are going with his behaviour and apparent health problems I can’t see him lasting another year in office. He has prevented the publication of the latest growth indicators, that can only be because they are not good. You would hope that more and more of his supporters are seeing through his bullshit. Doubling down on his disgusting comments about Rob Reiner and his wife probably didn’t go down too well either. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-canceled-gdp-report-scrutiny-11103747

Oh dear. Get a grown up to explain to you why there is a difference between having an attitude that hasn’t changed in 50 years and still being firmly rooted in the past, and actually evolving. I’ll give you an example. Men used to call women “birds” back in the 60’s and 70’s. The only people who still call them “birds” in 2025 are those who have that same mentality and haven’t moved on with the times. The only person making themselves look silly is you nic.

More embarrassment for the White House. https://news.sky.com/story/new-plaques-in-trumps-white-house-attack-joe-biden-barack-obama-and-george-w-bush-13485023

This should be interesting. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/donald-trump-s-bbc-lawsuit-puts-him-on-the-stand-where-he-must-tell-the-truth/ar-AA1StSFz?cvid=0a52709d84d24cfba130b4b88e8f4765&ocid=hpmsn

Perhaps the rest were black and she was the first white woman? 😉

Can’t remember the season but it was in the Channon era. Stoke at The Dell. 3-0 up at half time. Stoke pulled three goals back in the second half including a 30 yard screamer by our ex centre half Dave Watson. The place erupted when we scored the winner deep into the game. The 1976 FA Cup Final obvs. The Charity Shield v Liverpool too where we played better than the final but lost 1-0. The last few games of the Great Escape were incredible. I think I still have the t-shirt somewhere.

Most father and sons find things to bond over like going fishing together. You have to be pretty deranged to do something like this in the first place, but to involve you son too…. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/17/bondi-terror-attack-alleged-shooter-charged-after-15-killed-at-hanukah-celebration-ntwnfb
