    Monty Python

    When I have read interviews with Connie Booth she is not harsh or bitter about Cleese but I think she was slightly in awe of him but he was too intense and fast moving to stay married to

    Imagine my humiliation when DOE pops his clogs on Tuesday and I lose out because he is a 'younger' hit.

    I actually think this serves a useful person as it can calibrate our fame barometer removed from the FFBI issues. A lot of names on here are complete non entities but sports stars and soap stars and royalty are legit.

    Weird one. He is resigning to fight the same seat for the Scottish Parliament. SNP rules insist he does so. No scandal, no drama, minimum points

    He is according to Wiki. Not sure they are going to be naming the next one after his Mum

    Famous celebrity births , pregnancies and babies

    I did wonder about the middle name, thinking this might be a hint but her maiden name is Philips so that might have influenced the decision

    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    I would not object to the inclusion of Barry Cryer as he has had health issues in the past and regularly makes jokes about his health and limited longevity along the lines of he no longer buys green bananas. However when lined up against other stalwarts of British comedy I might be more inclined to go for Graham Garden. Barry is still working and seems to have his marbles.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    The best story in the collection which so deserves to be turned into a short film with Michael Sheen in it.

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    That is a fantastic collection of short stories. Unfortunately I don't have that edition.

    This also happened in 2016 and cost the Tories their slim majority. The peripheral parties were squeezed out. At the 2019 election Jo Swinson's lack of willingness to consider working with Jeremy Corbyn basically made her a Tory in a yellow dress. The vileness of the current Government should make Kier Starmer's job very easy but he is going out of his way to piss off the people he needs to win whilst trying to court those who will never vote for him

    So... What Games Are You Playing?

    I have had to change my Facebook profile picture from one of me and my cat to one of me and my wife and daughter because (don't laugh). My wife and daughter both play ACNH and kept encouraging me to play so the bought me a second hand Switch and ACNH for Christmas. My wife then sent me a link for an ACNH FB group so it is easy to swap villagers but then I kept getting friend requests from ladies I did not know, not the usual sort but slightly older ladies. At first I assumed they were scammers and just ignored them but then realised they were members of the FB group.

    Political Discussions And Ranting Thread

    Decided to put this here and save the By-election Bingo page for competition related posts but I want to consider The Northern Independence Party. Whilst I have some sympathy with the aims and where they have come from I feel their current strategy is potentially harmful. Do they have they support they claim and if so is it just transient or a real demand for change? In the Hartlepool By-election Kier Starmer has played in to their hands by imposing a candidate on them who has some issues. However I can only see them picking up disgruntled Labour votes and potentially gifting the seat to the Conservatives. On their website they claim: We are opposed to all forms of ideology based on hatred and bigotry Which suggests they may not do too well picking up the votes of the 70% of the electorate who voted for Brexit in 2016. Even if they won Hartlepool it won't affect Johnson as they could claim they didn't expect the Conservatives to win it anyway. However it might make Labour realise that the Left needs to be united to have a real chance of victory in 2024.
