I awoke feeling crapulent and lacking hope.

But since reading Times Literary Supplement's post above, suddenly everything's goosey.

I'm whistling a tune (all right it's 'Paranoid' by the Sabs, but I'm giving it a lilt) and all is at least, temporarily well with me.

Thanks TLS.

Man walks into his GP's surgery.

Raises his arm above his head, and says 'Doc it hurts when I do this'

The doctor looks at him and says 'Don't do it then'


Come on Keef, if we can't trust Tommy Cooper when it comes to medical matters, who can we trust?

The subtle, recurring confusion between illusion and reality that was characteristic of paramnesia fascinated the chaplain, and he knew a number of things about it. He knew, for example, that it was called paramnesia, and he was interested as well in such corollary optical phenomena as jamais vu, never seen, and presque vu, almost seen.

Dear HB & JL,


I think you may both be suffering some sort of psychological disorder. Unbelievable as that may seem.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...    
    • I don't remember this! What on earth were people feeding their dogs? Chalk?!
    • How did he "put down everything British"? Please give examples! And as for "the effects of Brexit on this country", do you think he was wrong? What exactly do you think are the positive effects of Brexit on this country?
