Unfortunately (maybe for sustainability reasons or something) we can't use Basa. I must say I quite like it.

Black Friday. It's basically bollocks isn't it.

Anyone going to football in and around Bangkok this weekend may fancy a beer too. Let’s be honest, the day out is often better than what happens on the pitch. The following bar and food guide might help you on your way. thaifootballfever.blogspot.com/2024/11/bang...

Look. If you're into "gaming" or "crypto" or "NFC" (the last one might be something else, it's "N" something), don't follow me or send me "Hello!" messages. We have an utterly mutual (& no offence intended nor taken) disinterest in each other.

Could always tell he was a cock.

Each time he's on, talking bollocks about food, I have to surpress the urge to shout "Mate, you're a greengrocer!".

I'd be 100% the same mate. Same reason I doubt I'd ever stay in a Trump Towers.

Good. I don't watch it myself but my wife does. Hearing Gregg shouting "YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT" as I walk past is one of the things which makes the show (for me) intensely irritating.

It's always amazing to me that Tesla cars sell so well. If the owner of that particular company benefits even by a sheckle, then I would never buy one.

See it's THIS stuff isn't it? Not talked about in the press or on the TV, just sensible & practical measures to improve people's lives.

That rare thing, a fair Budget comment. From David Smith of the Sunday Times - is he here? www.thetimes.com/article/1c78...

Everyone should calm down about both chancellor and economy

The pile-on against Rachel Reeves has been silly and unedifying

Tell me please because I genuinely don't know. Why DO folks adopt a photo of a beautiful lady, follow you then send a "Hi there Honey!" message? I obviously know that they aren't genuine, but what's in it for THEM? If I reply do they empty my bank account with my Bluesky algorithm or something?

Certainly seems popular anyway mate 😂. I actually had a breakfast in Spoons in Temple Cowley Oxford yesterday. I know, but let's be fair they absolutely nail it.

Superb stuff from a top fella.

A fella who says he is THE Mark Zuckerberg is following me, sent me a message to say "Hi" & point out who he is. He's got 13 followers, seems genuine enough 😎.

The benefit of getting older is that as the cycle of life turns, you begin to recognise stuff coming around again. Whether that's in the form of baggy jeans, rehashed pop songs or the media bemoaning a pro workers policy that is going to "bankrupt the nation", you see it. Relax, it won't.

Top bloke and a lovely story 👊

Oh Yeah he'll swing the waverers 😂

Serious question. If YOU were a farmer & Jeremy Clarkson turned up to lend his "support", Nigel Farage? Would you be happy, or would you instantly realise that there is literally nothing that could make me & millions like me less sympathetic to your cause?

😂 Next time I see you you'll say "I'm moving to Yorkshire Mick!". You'll love it.

From here he should be trying to go "Two in two" on Saturday. He's easily good enough to be a Steven Gerrard/Frank Lampard at the level.

And we LOVED "Penguin Town". Just perfect TV for sitting in front of a log fire, each of us with wooly socks on getting our feet as close as we can without burning while the snow falls outside!

On this bathroom thing which seems to be obsessing some folks. I run a pub in Wimbledon, London. One of our bars (The Loft) has unisex toilets, with cubicles. Everyone just gets on with it. It seems that if you are having a pee or a dump, it doesn't really matter that much who is next door. Wow.

Look, I'm no Putin lover BUT....The longer the Ukraine conflict has gone on & the more that stuff has happened, I'm getting the distinctly uneasy feeling that perhaps we in the West AREN'T quite the angels we paint ourselves to be. And when you consider THIS man told the Ukrainians to "be brave".
