Rising damp? He does a bit. Add in racist. Raab looks like Jeffrey Fairbrother from Hi De Hi. Academically qualified, and privileged, but school of life thick as pig shit and emotionally stunted and cold. Ultimately ineffective and replaced.

You and Gemmill - the Duracell Brothers.

The useless cunts are two leagues away from us now so that's definitely a safe distance.

Just watched it. Sorry, it's made me angry. What an utter cunt that man is. How the fuck can people not see through these charlatans and keep voting for them. We are doing the worst in Europe in tackling this pandemic, in fact arguably the worst in the whole world. ALL of this is the fault of the government. Nearly everyone on this board grasped the magnitude of this situation before the government did. How is that even possible? The worst thing is the fucking idiots of Blyth, Consett and Hartlepool, as well as the usual suspects, have ensured we can't change course as a country for another 5 years. We're fucked as a country with these clowns in charge, totally fucked.

where were you climbing in the south of france? couple of years ago we hired a canadian canoe at lac de saint croix and paddled at great personal risk for a few hours up the gorge du verdon. watched some rock climbers who span me out and I believe there are far more extreme climbs in the gorge our canoe couldn't access. hat well and truly doffed if you've done any of these, I wouldn't even watch any of these climbers stoned never mind contemplate participating!

There will be a clap for Priti Patel tonight at 73 minutes past eleventeen twelvety.

It had its downsides… aside from the carefree life, quality drugs, filthy women, great travel and magnificent climbing it afforded, money was tight.

Fucking muppets.

I loved watching the Goodies with my Dad. His comedy credentials were fucking top notch. Edit; If I’m not mistaken, he co-wrote, and originally performed The Yorkshiremen sketch, with Cleese and Chapman. Bloody Luxury. RIP

So back to normal, then.

I used to live in tent for 6 months a year, for nearly ten years. 😄 Much of the first few years I was perma-stoned on some top-notch Mediterranean/Moroccan produce. Music was a mix of Floyd, jazz, pre-Brit Pop English guitar bands, and some of that electric nonsense 😂

No not come across that..we were mostly Glastonbury etc, went to a couple of Spiral Tribe things.. my mates were the ones the local crusties would sometimes go to for gear. That’s how I fell in with them for a bit. They were a good crowd but there were a couple of things that happened in 94ish that made me fuck off to the US for a bit . When I came back I didn’t see as much of that crowd..as you say, if you’re into that sort of thing nowadays or can remember being so inclined the current situation is possibly the worst of all worlds. There again, as the current Mrs PL has wisely stated, who is best suited to lockdown than Gen Xers? brought up to make your own fun but also more than capable of sitting in the house doing fuck all smoking draw and watching shit telly?

I’m on nightshift number 4 tonight. We’ve spent every night helping out in Covid ITU as there’s not enough staff overnight given they’re proning the ventilated patients and they need fully turning onto their fronts every few hours. I woke up at teatime today and had 3 messages on my phone which all basically said “Please don’t listen to today’s government briefing” Now I know why. Sanctimonious bitch.

Can someone photoshop Johnson and Patel as Ted Bovis and Gladys Pugh?

I’ve read the replies to that tweet, same pic is one of the first responses Some beauties.

That was this season wasn't it? But anyway, I don't know how they fucking dare!

They didn't show that on Netflix.

anybody else think hancock reminds them of the leonard rossiter character rigsby? greasy, smarmy and seedy. makes your flesh crawl?

The nation breathes again! © Nadine Dorries Money was tight for me too but I was living in my mam and dad's house in Walker hoping I had enough for to go out for a few pints now and then. I prefer your version.

I'm jealous as fuck about your past bohemian rock climbing life if I'm honest. Known a few people who did this well into their 40s. Read loads of books by the likes of Joe Simpson etc. I never had the opportunity or the courage of truth be told.

For a period in the 90s every track released had an obscure sample. Obviously the more obscure the better I loved a bit of trance like but I found a lot of that specific goa / psychedelic stuff boring. LSD by Hallucinogen being a notable exception.

Eat Static were canny to be fair but most of the psi-trance shit was...shit

took a lot longer for me to grow up! was driving down to hungary every summer till 2012 to ozora festival. do you know that one? packed it in 2012 because about 500 hungarian police turned up after finally noticing that 50,000 psytrance crusties (@Alex) from all over the world were turning up in the middle of nowhere 100 miles south west of budapest and openly taking enough psychedelics to sink a battleship! ah, the heady of the not so youthful. wonder when folk will get the opportunity again?

I keep thinking/saying that that half arsed two weeks where the blustering buffoon was telling people it might be a good idea to stay at home and Cheltenham went ahead as well as that ridiculous Friday night cost thousands of lives. I hope they pay for it but I doubt it.

Sorry.

I was there late eighties until end of ‘96. I have done some routes in the Verdon, although by then my herbal intake was more leisurely 😄, but aye, further up the gorge the exposure on those routes is fucking mental- closest you can get to Yosemite in Europe, arguably. What’s pretty freaky at first, is that you usually abseil from the top of the gorge to a set of bolts part-way down the cliff, clip on to them while your buddy comes down, then pull your ropes down and repeat the process for however many pitches your route is- often between 4-6. Certainly gets you committed from the get go 😂 ( I was an open canoe instructor whilst I was down there, in another gorge a few hours west of the Verdon).

Absolutely, if anything, that extra 40% would have slowed our response down. Hospital staff wouldn't have been able to move for it getting in the way.

That'll work with the Daily Mail readers though. "Benefit scroungers, immigrants, millenials and remainers all got together to collectively flout the lockdown" a source says.

I don't think it's necessarily about it being squeaky clean so much as having so many Corbyn hating factionalists making shit up and fucking over the process that the eventual report was basically worthless. That's my take from it anyway.

Oh aye, 😂 There’s a fantastic documentary on Netflix about the history of Yosemite climbing. The 60s and 70s are particularly mental. There’s a proper mentalist lives in North Wales called John Redhead, did some of the most extreme climbing in Britain in the 80s and 90s, was fond of a drop of Lysergic 😂

I should add, my experience of being stoned where I was living was very different to the usual sitting in your mate’s bedsit freaking out to Zappa 😂 I was never indoors- the only time you were was going to the shitter. Getting stoned often involved nighttime canoeing, going on “boar hunts” armed with paddles, which was basically a bunch of giggling idiots stumbling through the bondou and freaking out at the slightest sound of a wild pig, or, after the wine kicked in, lying around the fire staring at the stars and talking bollocks, ( which is actually pretty close to my initial statement ) My point being, we were used to doing fairly active shit when we were off our nut.

When you were climbing within your comfort zone/ability it was incredible after a little herbal- all the climbing in Southern France is bolted, so as long as you clip the bolts, it’s safe as houses. When you pushed the boat out and tried something above your ability, it was generally very intense, ( not usually detrimentally so, just made you focused as fuck), or, you’d just say “Fuck it, let’s go to the Cafe” 😂

This, RIP.

He was in that sitcom with Richard O’Sullivan that PL mentioned above. I loved The Goodies as a kid. RIP

They’re ten times further away from the next supporter at the SoL. Even when the bloke nearest isn’t having a shite

RIP I thought he’d have been older, even though 90 is some age, but I realise it’s because he’s always looked middle-aged. (I think he did a show with Alan Whicker about his (then) hi-tech house. Gemmill must’ve seen it as a young bot? ) Edit: it was on Nationwide- the only copy I can find is in this Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=1238815772975531&_rdr

No idea what you mean...

I’m fucking finished with giving a shit about anyone I’m not close to if these lot aren’t held to account over this. I’m pretty sure they won’t be either.

The way the daily briefing is set up, its a total charade. Nobody there to ask the difficult questions really and that should be coming from the opposition. The journos just get ignored. Nobody is keeping this government on their toes at all.

No, he's a busted flush with the parts of the electorate you need to win over. Whatever happens though, I hope Labour not only position themselves as realistically but firmly of the left, but actually make the "hey, we have policies you like!" argument persuasively and consistently, which is one thing they've not been terribly good at lately.

You’re positive it wasn’t Bernard?

Me dad saw Mathews playing for Stoke in the top flight when the latter was 50. It’s impressive enough Mathews played for Stoke for 19 seasons but he also played at Blackpool for 14 years

And enough people will believe it
