It's important to remember that a large portion of the British general public are idiots.

Reminds me of the time my mum thought lol meant "lots of love" and I received a message saying, "Nan has had a bad fall and been hospitalised. Lol"

We've gone from "You need to work as a team to move these barrels across the valley" to "You will be buried alive in a coffin full of snakes until your colleagues make a blood sacrifice to rescue you."

Love how a vaccination is toxic a toxic chemical in the body, but tattoos are just fine.

My broad generalisation is that anyone who "avoids conventional medicine" is an idiot.

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

Marc Haynes’ story: As a 7 year old in about 1983, … I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore Sitting at the departure gate, ... told my granddad i'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. …so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?" As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and signs the back of my plane ticket... I'm ecstatic, but …I glance down at the signature. … it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. ...I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, … so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore...
"he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. …he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone …and thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.' No, I said.
I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now. Many years later, I was working on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him the story. He …had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond." So that was lovely. And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld."
I was as delighted at 30 as I had been at 7. What a man. What a tremendous man.

What an absolute legend he was. I think it's important to remember that without Moore, Bond would not have survived the 80s. This story will never get old, he was magnificent.

In the 70s he'd have had the magic sponge and walked it off.

I'm a procurement professional in the public sector, any tips on what sort of weighting we give mob rule? I'm thinking 90%, as 10% for social value is already mandated.

When I'm laying on my death bed, I guarantee I won't be thinking "just think of all the work I did while that AI bot was reading to my daughter". Those moments don't come again, and (believe me), when they've grown up you won't believe how fast the time went. Savour every moment, don't outsource it

I was at Uni in London in the 90s. Kings Cross was famously a utopia. Doors left unlocked, people skipping through the open spaces and the only crime was being too care-free. Bliss.

@arseblog.com, is there any chance you could add a feature to the app so I can take a photograph of my child and see what a tattoo would look like on the by the time they're 18? I think this could be a game changer.

Top opinion and absolutely agree. I'm 52, and if there's one thing I've learned it's that I know very little, and the world is a much better place because of all the variety we all bring to it. If anything, I've become more liberal as I've gotten older and had more life experience.
