There’s a Ladybird book for every occasion. “In 1850 there were quite a number of Football Clubs. Each club drew up its own rules at a special meeting. The rules were not the same for every club” From ‘The Story of Football’ Artist: Jack Matthew (Man City)

The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.
​Known to his army of fans as L’Entarteur or Georges le Gloupier, Godin launched his career as a serial deflator of egos in 1969, when he planted a tarte à la crème on the face of the French novelist Marguerite Duras (“She has a kind of intelligence and cleverness that serves only her own vanity,” he complained), and he went on to “pie” a cast list of celebrities for sins ranging from pomposity to “choosing to function in the service of the capitalist status quo”.The same could not be said of Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of France’s “new philosophers,” whose provocative views on sex, frequent appearances on television and penchant for white silk shirts unbuttoned practically to the navel, had made him a cult figure – and one of Godin’s most satisfying victims.

Levy once declared: “I am the most gifted writer of my generation,” and often boasted of his reasonableness and tolerance, but he was forced to endure footage being repeatedly shown on French television of himself, covered in cream, during a visit to the Belgian city of Liège, trying to strangle Godin and shouting: “Get up, or I’ll kick your head in.”Noël Godin was born on September 13 1945 and came to pie-throwing after a rebellious youth in which he scandalised the priests in the confessional by speaking of his “horrible sexual life”, and was thrown out of Liège University after emptying a pot of glue over the head of a law lecturer who had helped write the constitution for the Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar.

He found work at Friends of Film, an obscure magazine published by the Belgian Catholic League. It had a tiny readership, which was just as well, as Godin made up most of his articles. In one he claimed that Louis Armstrong had once been a cannibal and had invested in a film called The Vegetables of Good Will in which Claudia Cardinale played a giant endive.

In another he conjured up a fictional blind Thai filmmaker named Vivian Pei, describing her film, The Lotus Flower Will Never Again Grow on the Edge of Your Island, in such convincing terms that an Asian film specialist travelled to Thailand in an effort to track her down.“We’re very careful not to hurt people,’’ he explained. “Well, they are hurt, but always in their amour-propre.”

In 1995 Godin published an autobiography, Cream and Punishment. His other targets over the years included the New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard (who charmed his assailant by hailing the attack as a homage to silent film), the French politician Nicolas Sarkozy, the choreographer Maurice Béjart and the Ryanair chairman Michael O​’Leary. He tended not to pick Belgian victims, he explained, because few would notice if he did.

The treatment of Jason Arday was massively out of proportion to his faults. People who have committed terrible crimes have received less scrutiny, yet I don't believe anything he did or said even crossed the threshold of criminality. How many of us would have survived what he was put through? 🧵

A season without fans in the stadium, and Everton bag a genuine superstar. 6 goals, 8 assists in 26 games. He instigated our first win at Anfield since the 90's and was a joy to watch despite not 100% fit We'll never know what could have been, but Benitez became a sliding doors moment for #Everton

[Scene is a MOON BASE on the moon. The Moonbase has an AMAZON logo on the top of its domed glass roof. From inside it, we hear a voice.]:

WHEEEE

Cut to interior scene. We see it is the voice of a man in a space suit, bouncing around in the low gravity, having a great time. We gradually realise that this man is Jeff Bezos.

Boing  

haha.

Wheeee!

[close in on Jeff's face] 

JEFF BEZOS:
Alexa!

 Set gravity to ‘Earth’.

ALEXA HOME SPEAKER:
Sure! Ending poverty on Earth now…

JEFF BEZOS:
No! 

Alexa, *stop*…

Set gravity levels to 'Earth'. 

ALEXA:
Sure Jeff.

 Whum. [Jeff gently sticks to the ground]

[Pause.]

ALEXA:

Jeff - would you like to continue with:  'End poverty on Earth'?

[Jeff thinks about this for a very long time, his face in a rictus of awkwardness. His eyes dart left and right in his head, while he is frozen in thought. This goes on for many panels.]

[in the final panel it just cuts to Jeff bouncing again, saying "Wheee"]

[Ends]
