Quite why an amendment was attempted to get a second referendum today is beyond me; the timing's all wrong. Small wonder it was rejected. Now they've voted to extend Article 50, we have time to discuss other options (if it's granted, of course), while contingency plans can be worked on by Liam Fox to get the ball rolling on as many continuity trade deals as possible in the event of an no-deal-oh-fuck Brexit, and Theresa May can fly to Brussels another three dozen times. It's interesting that May's apparently against a second referendum, yet prepared to put her same deal, which is clearly as popular as a bag of pork scratchings in a mosque, to the house an endless amount of times. Also interesting that Corbyn's going against Labour policy of wanting a second referendum. Even as leader, he's rebelling. What a pair of arse candles.

The Bends by Radiohead was released on this day 24 years ago. Their best album in my opinion, and this is one of the many excellent songs on it.

Back when Lauren Laverne did songs rather than played someone else's.

No survivors. 7 Brits, 149 passengers, 8 crew members. Awful.

Andy Gibb, off of 70s teen idols, threw it all away on this day 31 years ago, aged 30.

Cold War Steve is one of the best things on Twitter

In a world where you hear and read an overwhelming amount of bilge that makes you want to tear off your ears and fashion them into an eye mask , reading ‘How To Be Right’ by LBC’s James O’Brien is therapy. Many nails hit on heads. It’s nectar for the mind. I loved it.

Centatwunt/decatwunt. Congrats YW!

Today is the 2nd day of me being manager of my section at work. And what do I do? Destroy my lower back helping with some machine maintenance. I'm hobbling like Rolf Harris after shower time with Nigerian Derek in prison. Sauvignon Blanc and Co-Codamol is on the menu this evening. Fuck pancakes.

So it is, both actually and statistically

Bold claim. Particularly when the question you're answering there has 2 more laughter reactions than your side-splitting post. With a grand total of 2. Sorry in advance for being such an Autist.

That's exceptionally tame in comparison to what I'd expect from you, blad.

I love a 5/4 arrangement

And he fucking takes the lead already...

Mine's in with msc, having spent literally minutes doing a bit of ineffectual research, though I'm certainly not complacent of the fact that my polite rival Phil could quite easily slap me down within the next 26 and a half hours and render it pointless.

...and we are all silent.

Bill Hicks left in love, in laughter and in truth a quarter of a century ago today, aged 32.

1) Agreed. 2) Agreed. 3) Agreed. 4) Agreed. But I’m a sore loser, luckily. And, by association, scum. One thing I will say for definite is that, no matter what one’s preferred outcome might be (no deal, May deal, Norway deal, remain, you name it), Article 50 needs extending. For No Deal, we’ve not enough time to get an acceptable amount of continuity trade deals agreed (so far, we’ve only agreed about 7). For a (shite) May deal, we need until she dies at this rate which, lamentably, could be a while. For a scummy people’s vote, we need about 3 months to get all that legislature in place. Another thing I will say for definite is that, no matter what Corbyn’s preferred outcome is, he’s a useless cunt and less electable than my left bollock with a blank expression felt tipped onto it.

Finally, Labour are backing a second referendum. It’s a bloody job there’s fucking plenty of time left to get that (legally binding) amendment passed, Article 50 extended and a referendum date sorted out.

It appears I've made a dreadful and embarrassing mistake, and submitted my inverse pool entry by accident.

With the sad passings of both Reverend Ruth Scott and Peter Tork, my just-incase-I-make-it-to-March list is getting a fucking hammering.
