Michael Vaughan’s son Archie, who is only 18, took 11 wickets in the match as Somerset beat Surrey in the County Championship. He’s an allrounder who also opened the batting in both innings. It leaves Somerset just behind Surrey in the race for the title with two matches to go. Somerset have never the County Championship before either. I would love to see them do it as I always liked them from the days when the used to show the Sunday League on Sunday Grandstand, when Ian Botham, Joel Garner and Viv Richards played for them

Nirvana are another band who haven’t aged well, to my ears at least. They’re alright but just about the only act from then of that ilk that I still really like are Faith No More*. I know the latter aren’t ‘grunge’ but that was a fairly meaningless catch all term for bands from in and around Seattle at that time anyway. *Up to and including ‘Angel Dust’

It’s an active ingredient in cannabis. You can vape ground up grass but in the states you can get liquid form to vape, like the nicotine ones with the liquid you get here. Also available on the black market here. Not sure if by prescription too. I’ve tried some really strong versions of the liquid ones and it’s not particularly pleasant. A but like downing half a bottle of sprits or something. I.e. pissed straight away without any of the pleasure of arriving there.

You have to compliment him on his modesty. He left out the rapier sharp retort delivered to the Saudi colleague. Which resulted in everyone else there giving him a standing ovation.

That’s tragic even by the low bar Roker Mackem normally sets for himself

Every time you fancy one, just imagine CT toking on a vape whilst getting sucked off by Denise Squelch 👍🏻

I think she left before I was born, let alone this gig

I did it once but I was bad in bed with the flu. The actual proper flu, not a cold. I was that ill I was more bothered about the fact I’d have to get out of bed. I thought I’d done it once at a Hawkwind gig in Middlesbrough. But it was just a combination of paranoia, coming up on lsd, the sensation of sweat trickling down my leg being accentuated by that and (I think) someone doing an absolutely rancid fart directly behind me. Unless they’d followed through. Imagine my relief when I found a cubicle in the gents and realised it was a false alarm

Aye. You can’t force kids to eat everything. And having identical twins, they’re basically genetically the same and have been introduced to stuff at the exact same time and still have different tastes. But you can definitely introduce them to stuff and I think you need to realise that not liking something when kids try it doesn’t mean they won’t after they’ve tried it a few times. It’s worth it from a healthy pov but it’s also going to mean they get a lot more enjoyment out of food over the course of their lives. I’m not trying to make out we’re perfect parents or anything but food is one thing where you can pretty much control when it comes to kids. The worst thing for me is seeing really obese kids because I know genetics comes into it but it’s largely down to their parents/guardians. I think if you don’t do it when they’re young it must be hard to break those habits though. Loads of my kids’ mates seem to be really fucking picky eaters. Which is fine when they visit because you can just do pizza and chips or whatever. But it’s not really setting them up for a healthy adult diet if they’re eating that about 4 or 5 times a week

I feel sorry for ones who didn’t vote for the Tories or Reform. But the ones who did should be fine because they don’t believe in government handouts 👍🏻

He’d been sitting on it for a while

Crab paste

Can’t say I’ve ever listened to them properly before but, if the first few minutes is representative, I can’t really understand why you’d spend half an hour of your time listening to that. Just bland opinions from a bunch of nobodies

To be fair, he was comparing Isak to prime Exile

Who ate all the cow pies?

It’s the lack of details and totally improbable outcomes that really make these RTG anecdotes so entertaining

What a twat Btw didn’t they supposedly fall out to the extent they used separate private jets while touring?

Hopefully you’re right. As long as he doesn’t win. It’s canny mad that they’ve went all in on him again after the last time either way. Basically willing to throw away US Democracy for getting into power

it does need a ‘charismatic’ figurehead probably. But I think you’re right in that the blueprint has been tested out and that isn’t going anywhere

Is that Zaltzman and Norcross? Zaltzman is brilliant btw.

Honestly not sure on either score but they both went out with or were married to Anthea Turner. Powell is loaded apparently. It mentioned on an edition of that TOTP podcast he moved into being an agent for celebrities and did very well out of it.

The rage will literally be all about who’s in power as well. Like now she cares about Grenfell? Just fuck off, you horrible cunt. I wonder how long it’ll be before she’s moved on without it looking too much obvious

Just watched it. Yeah, it’s absolutely ripe for their treatment. Peebles has such a weird look. He’s one of those you completely forget about until you hear his pop-tastic radio 1 voice. Peter Powell was a cheesy fucker too, but he looks a million dollars stood next to Peebles. Bar Heaven 17 at the start it’s another one with some excellent stuff in the charts that doesn’t make the show. You can see the professional dancers in the crowd sticking out a mile as well. It’s worth watching just for Ryan Paris performing Dolce Vita. He looks so uncomfortable special mention to Paul Young’s backing singers and their moves too

From the same Steve Wright school of having a great face for radio

Quite often go their places with the family in the summer as we’re members. But the food is canny dear so usually take a picnic (I really have turned into my dad ). But with all these sorts of things, the places only do it to meet demand anyway. It’s like the Gregg’s (non) controversy over the sausage rolls. The thing is people are actually stupid enough to think it’s some fucking ‘woke’ conspiracy rather than organisations just doing it to make money.
