Honor Blackman, I'm staying loyal to her!I hope she appreciates it!

Good enemas are effective like that......!

Now that is good!Great quick wit-You could almost be the spirit of the only comedienne that I have seen live Joan Rivers!

You surely mean 2020?

I'm glad people are coming around to my way of thinking when it comes to enemas!

Sky Press review was interrupted to announce the breaking news and pay tribute.

The mother of the Mayor of Pittsburgh Bill Peduto has died it has been revealed.

Is there a thread were news of births of babies to famous people is posted please?This is the nearest to it I could find in a search but it doesn't seem to be quite the right thread! Thanks.

I must admit I do prefer SKY NEWS these days, even when owned by Murdoch most of the time its political coverage was of a good and impartial quality. I dont bother as much as I used to with political stuff on tv or radio Never watched more than 10 minutes of Robert Pestons show on ITV in all the years it has been broadcast. Quit watching Question Time in 2016 when it just seemed like a poorly chaired slanging match and This Week which used to be on seemed very stale. Similarly Any Questions and Today programme on Radio 4 started to annoy or bore me more than engage me. Documentaries or discussions of current affairs rather than politics is what I think BBC radio is now best at and hence what I enjoy. Only watch Politics live now but not habitually. I do think its chair Jo Coburn is pretty fair. Lastly I do think there have been signs that political or social preaching has become unsubtle in terms of drama output. I recall watching the 2015 episode of Eastenders broadcast on the day of the election and it was pretty obvious the writers were trying to preach to their viewers through the characters dialogue to vote tory!!

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/obituaries/beverly-pepper-dead.html American sculptor and artist Beverly Pepper ,most famous for her monumental lightness work, has died aged 97.

Well I'm sure their not all leftie bastards!In the news and politics department Andrew Neil, Nick Robinson, and there has been numerous two way traffic through a revolving door between number ten and the BBC in recent years.Robbie Gibb boss of the Daily Politics went to work for Theresa May when she was prime minister. Ex bbc political reporter James Landale I think went to work for the conservatives etc. I certainly think modern technology makes it harder for the licence fee to seem legitimate and this will only increase in future. To an extent they are the author of their own misfortune .I am a bigger fan of their radio stuff than their tv shows nowadays.

Going by recent comments by culture secretary Nicky Morgan I think the BBC's days of being funded by the licence fee are in their early death throes . The mood music is definitely being stepped up ,the groundwork laid and with a healthy majority if they are determined I cannot see the government being derailed on this.

Dare I ask what you imagine me as ?Is it something pornographic?
