Tuber Mirum

No worries. It must have been around 1990. I was wandering around Glasgow pished (as you do) and Saville appeared off a boat on the Clyde in a Kaftan and smoking a cigar. He congratulated me on having run the Glasgow marathon that day, which I hadn't, with the words "Well done, well done, well done!" Apparently I had inadvertently gatecrashed an After-Marathon party. I made my excuses and left.

Did I tell you about the time I met Jimmy Saville?

This for the haters (you know who you are): https://x.com/TheIndyNinja1/status/1845160647727992984?t=i529VAOThiOzCc8DnEJ1rA&s=19

I have always said so. https://x.com/alinaila/status/1821444704569028755?t=q1bmMHn35OPb2JF6jNOoJQ&s=19

Please do. A big fat one. It would definitely be in the spirit of the inventor, as they say in Germany.

Is the Hartlepool Deadlypool still running? I'm prepared to permit a huge increase in the Crimes Against Humanity bonus for this one. Are there any other winners of the Nobel Peace Prize who would fall into this category? I'm inclined to nominate Obama.

This makes me think of The Time Machine which makes me think of Yvette Mimieux <3

I knew Giles. We worked together for a year or so back in the 90s. A really lovely bloke. He was pretty well-known in his own right in musical circles. A couple of days before his death was announced his brother posted on Facebook that he'd gone missing. So there might be a moderately more dramatic story behind it than just "died after a short illness".

Is it normal not to remember things which happened nearly 17 years ago? I have no Idea what this was about.

It was always only a matter of time...

The riots will begin when they are all exonerated.

That could potentially stoke some anger in those otherwise mild-mannered heavily armed young officers.

So since nobody's going to sack Cummings because he has dirt on them, is anyone likely to murder him? Or does he have an insurance policy hidden away?

Seeing this reminded me of a post I made nearly 13 years ago: If only Tony Benn had shown the same concern for his offspring...

Let's wait and see if I intend sticking around for a while first PMs are now back at a manageable size. I archived most of them in a safe place. There's still a lot of heavy late-night stuff to trawl through involving one of America's most original moralists, a certain Mr. B. Scream of New York. How is everyone anyway?
