Bell, Book & Candle.
Please no nasty stuff, but they had it coming didn't they ?
When I were a nipper, they were one of the most respected organizations in the world.

“Mums and daughters in Middlesbrough” - direct quote from the channel controller, a fairly nutty bloke called Ben Frow. I actually had to do 2000 words on their strategy and why it works for them so if you want to read it drop me a line but essentially it’s
- old
- female
- northern.

Sure enough, when I go home, mum’s never got it off.

Which coincidentally was the same strategy my late friend Roger used on a night out.

“Channel 5 is all s**t, isn’t it? Christ, the crap they put on there. It’s a waste of space”; reportedly the last words of Adam Faith before succumbing to a heart attack in a hotel room in Stoke-on-Trent.

Oh I thought it was the electorate who cast votes at an election who made the decision that Corbyn was unelectable.
Pity you and a few others on here didn’t have a few million more mates to help him.


2, 227 votes in key areas would have been enough. Or, one Rupert Murdoch.

My favourite was General Franco.

There were people outside the window chanting his name.
He awoke briefly and said “ whats all that ?”
The doctor said “it's the people Generalissimo, they've come to say goodbye”
Franco said “why, where are they going ?”

I worked In Yarm which Is near Middlesbrough and I also worked In Middlesbrough too back In the late 70s, we were on strike every other day which was great, I can't remember exactly but there was a warm local cake/biscuit thing called the Yarm cake that was baked locally early In the morning that was eaten by the local steel erectors before starting work (provided we weren't on strike).

They were good People up there.

My landlady had a pretty good beard and she looked hard as fck. (two up two down).

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

I stopped watching TV decades ago (though a certain part man/ part XTC pedant will deny this as I watch University Challenge once a week on my phone). Anyway, is the programme Points of View, still running? Cos back in the day Barry Took would have sorted this all out:



We recently received a letter from a Mr Donald Trump of Mar A Lago, I think that’s near Mar A Gate. He’s not very happy with a recent of episode of Panorama in which he says his good character was sullied via the means of a ne’er-do-well editor. Well we’ve had another look at the show and our lawyers have responded with 1. Donald where’s your trousers? And 2. Any time Mango Face bring it on. And on to a letter from a Mrs McCookerybook of Oxshott in Surrey …

Obviously Barry was Took by the grim reaper sometime ago. Hopefully the show is still running.


Doubtless Clive will welcome a tangent, so: great to see a Helen McCoookerybook shoutout - a lovely lady and excellent live.

That Paddox fellow is quite the cultural polymath.

Very good!

Mine is playwrite Henrik Ibsen's. He had been bedridden for some time. So his doctor checked in him frequently on his rounds. One morning Ibsen's housekeeper showed him into the author's bedroom, saying "I think Herr Ibsen is feeling a little better this morning doctor." Ibsen opened his eyes, replied "On the contrary." And promptly died.

Reminded me of this gem with Pandora Maxwell and the police when they arrested Kevin.

From the bedroom window:

1st response to the knock in the door ‘Feck off, we don’t wake up this early….’

2nd time ‘Feck off or I’ll call the police !’

‘Errrrr, we are the police madam…..’

That’s quite #niche.

No wonder OnlyFans is so popular these days. No doubt you can get all of those attributes and someone that screams abuse at you in a dialect you can’t quite understand linguistically but the meaning remains clear….only £100 per month, per subscriber. We’re all doing the wrong jobs - AI will never replace that human capability.

We have two neighbours in the village with way too much disposable income that are clearly running home studios for something. The postman tells me his son reckons one has 2M subs - ‘last time my son checked….’

We’ve produced a nice car sign for his van with a vinyl cutter that he still hasn’t worked out is on there….similar to the playboy logo but with a twist.

Brendan Behan, a devout but profane Catholic who had been excommunicated for IRA activity in the 1940's was nonetheless being cared for by a nun as he lay dying.

He woke up briefly, saw the nun, and uttered his last words: "God Bless you Sister, may you be the Mother of a Bishop".

"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."

I think i was charged up on 6 pints of lowenbrau and a smartie cap top of bombay mix when that flashed across my synapse. I used it on John Digweeds bedrock forum back in 2015 which i moderated and he promised to name a remix after it.

He never did , the 120 BPM Prog house fker.
