Somewhere in England, a tired man turns off Channel 4 news and wearily puts on a bin.

Just noticed that in the latest Amazon guff ad about their packaging and sustainability etc, their chap is delivering on Festive Road, and as it scrolls across, both the first and the last houses seen are number 52. As if by magic, the shopkeeper went bankrupt. #mrbenn

This is exactly the sort of game (and the point within it) where the Key-McCullum-Stokes England would have thought themselves Billy Big Bollocks, got complacent, and lost. And gone out for beers and chatted up someone’s girlfriend.

Pub quiz, 2050. “And the final question: name all 6 World Cup holders.” “Right, FIFA is Saudi Arabia, yes?” “Yeah, beat the USA in Game 7 of the final series” “The UWFA is Spain, the IFF is Japan, the GFO is Egypt, who beat Togo in a mandatory challenge. But can’t remember the OMF.” “Chile?” “YES!”

I have just channel flicked onto a British film from 1978 in which a hard nosed vice squad cop is played by…Gavin Campbell. That’s Life Gavin Campbell. Tonight has become too silly. I want the World Cup back.

I much prefer the American second term approach of the cabinet resigning en masse, then the President gets to choose to appoint them, not choose to fire them.

Piece on Newsnight about changing the protection regime for high profile politicians. Fair enough, it’s a vital issue. But with the best will in the world, would such protection have extended to Widdecombe? Six years after leaving elected office and no longer even a party spokeswoman?

I would love it if Count Binface beat Farage. Mostly because it would stop him from standing in any other by-elections.

Once again, The Post attempts to get inside the Liverpudlian psyche by, er, sending its correspondent Laurence ‘did I mention I’m from the Wirral’ Thompson to the Wirral, to talk about, er, the Wirral. www.livpost.co.uk/is-scouse-no...

Is “Scouse not English” on the wane?
The World Cup is on and England are flying. But are Liverpudlians still determined to miss out?

I’m hardly the first to comment on this, but I can’t be the only one who finds the overuse of this trope a bit ick?
Four books next to each other on a shelf in Queenstown Airport, New Zealand, all with titles ‘The x of Auschwitz’. I only moved one for artistic licence, honest.

Still, at least now we’ve left the EU the British media will stop swallowing press releases from right-wing nutjobs about food regulations whole and regurgitating them without an iota of fact-checking.

Reminds me that I've been looking for an opportunity to use this far superior version of the Drake meme
Version of the Drake Meme, featuring Les from Vic Reeves Big Night Out. The upper left image features Les looking away from some chives (or more exactly, the soil in which they grow) and the lower left is him beaming at a spirit level. Upper and lower right are left blank.

I dunno, you spend 40-odd years longing for the collapse and dissolution of the Conservative Party, then it begins and you’re stuck in a woodland cabin at a bizarre Dutch theme park without access to popcorn.

Gavin and Stacey, then. I’d never watched a full episode, just lots of bits. The special was nice enough, but kind of showed why. A slightly less sneering Mike Leigh piece, with middle class theatre types trying desperately to show what uncultured proles are like, and failing miserably.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
