Should get a BBC obit and a Last Word appearance I'd wager.

Her Majesty enjoyed attending the annual Gibbon wrestling festival at Earl's Court today, before heading back to the palace for tea and olives.

25 years since it was two falls for Buzz Sayer, aged 33.

Gertcha self over to the 2018 possibilities thread for a whole slew of Chas n' Dave lyric cancer related puns.

Dammit! Unless he can't remember whether he's had a drink for 5 weeks.

"...stressed the need for people to respect the choice of US voters." Except it wasn't. If people are going to make comments about the US presidential election they need a crash course in the electoral college. This is a pretty good history of it. Fair point. I think the general thrust of the article was that there was an absolute hysteria surrounding his Presidency and, from this end of the Atlantic, its all the more strange considering who we have had here on State visits and there were no mass protests or summat. I don't like him at all but taking to the streets here with 'proper' placards, neatly organized by Momentum, the Anti Nazi league and the Socialist workers party wont do fuck all. Just my opinion. There was a massive protest againt Reagan in '84 and he won by a landslide. It's all part of free speech. You can't expect the 49% to roll over if the 51% vote to exterminate them. That's a bit dramatic. I was talking about the Tofu eaters of Islington going down to Westminster to register their false horror at Trumps election. Dramatic effect. Trump supporters are going to whinge on about people getting upset when he abuses them because he said he was going to. It doesn't work like that. He can have the power but everyone doesn't have to like what he does with it.

Brucie till we reach the end of the conveyor belt.

He must be feeling peaky... ...or summit..

Everybody...we don't need no moderation..

Off the bottom, break out the Yazz, Kid!

He was on my long list for my 1981 Theme Team...then he turned up on Strictly late last year looking grand. And he was on Further Back In Time For Dinner the other week. I see it's been caught early... Bit of chemo up the Elephant and raand the Castle, right as rain.

Ah yes, halcyon days......

What, who, when? Ah, OK came here first - my favourite thread.

What, who, when?

Paul Gascoigne.

Why don't we have a poll?

And who put the cunt in Scunthorpe?

Following centuries of tradition, Her Majesty today climbed the Royal Elm in Hyde Park and flung herself in the arms of the gathered ensemble of courtiers, all of whom share their birthdays with her ascencion to the throne.

65 years since George VI was dethroned, aged 56.

Looked better before to me.

Well enjoy the whole 12mins of actual play in the hours of transmission. Probably worth recording it, turning off all media then watching it skipping the ads, stoppages, etc etc.

By quite some margin. I'd need at least a triple wordscore or change my middle name to Quartzy Quixote.

Depends on the people around him as well. As for what he's used to, how many hours a day do billionaires actually work anyway? Less than he'll have to work now. Can't just get off to the golf course or go and annoy some Scots for the hell of it though can he.
