Was bit murky when I looked in but swore I saw David Threlfall...


..and a local match seller told me that the 'international/world famous' star referred to was Hugh B. not Mr Mac.


Giggsy was definitely practising his inswingers though.


Believe Sheerah and Ms. Logan were in another bar altogether.


And Monty was in the old bar with Andrew Marr and Fred the Shred before it got bulldozed

The Premiership footballer confessed all to his wife the other day, wife subsequently "devastated", Ryan Giggs doesn't play for Man Utd against Arsenal today as he has 'a touch of flu'. Team mates realise identity of super-injunction holder, play sh-t and get beaten 1-0. Just a theory, mind.

Wasn't i being obvious enough? i did credit Gerald Wiley (Ronnie Barker's nom de plume) and he used it thus "Tonight's news will be read in broil. I'm sorry I'll feel that again..."

Hmmm maybe but... Cook first used it in 1976 on Derek and Clive (Live) and I think Barker may have already used it by then so maybe Cook stole it from Barker? (cries of "surely not!" "never!" etc)


ETA: the quote -(circa 197?)


Scene, Barker taking off a BBC newsreader, shoulders and face shot looking straight into the camera, very serious....


" And that was the news for our sighted viewers. We now continue with the news in Broille....."

- pause, with puzzled look on his face, looks down at his hands floating over a big book

"Sorry, I'll just feel that again!"

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
