That’s another problem (and why he didn’t just waltz back into no 10 after Truss. He’s stabbed so many of his own MPs in the back that the only ones he’s got left are the ultra loyalists like crazy Dorris and the red wall sycophants

He also goes off on these tangents because he’s not particularly clever. Due to his education however, he’s been taught to mask this with (often inaccurate and imprecise) classical references and use of archaic and flowery language. Like Jacob Rees-Mogg

I like the characterisation of people as being too dense to envisage a completely fucking made up and unlikely set of scenarios. Even then the only way we’d be able to charge stupid money is if we were successful enough to remotely justify it. So even in his dreams we’re winning loads of trophies. At which point we’d obviously be sold for the owners to start again somewhere else

I used to have a ridiculous amount of meetings in my previous job when we were collaborating on a project with BT. There was a fella worked for them and, fuck me, he could talk and talk absolute shite. He used to schedule meetings at our offices (which were near Gateshead stadium) instead of theirs, which were near the metro centre, on a Friday afternoon. The sole purpose was that it was easier to for him get home to Sunderland, theoretically getting a flyer to kick off the weekend. But he loved the sound of his own voice so much he couldn’t fucking help himself. He’d still be prattling on at 5 o’clock, about two and a half hours into a meeting we didn’t even need to have in the first place. What a fucking bell end that bloke was

Just let him do it then we can go home That’s easy for him to say

Well he spent most of his premiership arguing we needed to renegotiate the ‘oven-ready’ deal that was effectively his mandate so it’s not really a surprise. This investigation taken place is more or less the same carry on. He’s saying he mislead Parliament but it wasn’t intentional, ie he was unaware of the guidelines that were in place. And that he, as PM at the time, was ultimately responsible for.

Aye. That’s him all over btw. Denies deliberately misleading Parliament whilst deliberately misleading everyone about the makeup of the committee investigating him. I don’t expect a satisfactory conclusion like. As others have said, it’ll probably be a suspension that falls short of triggering a by-election as that’s the last thing the government needs now. Especially given there’s a good chance they’d lose it

Bobby McFerrin killed himself too

The Guardian had to print an apology years ago after running a story that Captain Pugwash was taken off air due to the double entendres. Despite them being an urban legend

I’ve always quite liked him. As in he seems like a decent bloke but, fuck me, what goes on in the heads of people when they’re making these sorts of appointments?

How can people watch shit like that and think for one second they’re being sincere?

Being slightly serious you can see how much money Sartori and the trust fund kid are likely to invest if that’s how much they’ll spend on an advert for season tickets.

He thought it was the SoS and they were 2-0 down with 20 mins left

Does he realise what stealth means? Mate, it’s a massive fucking white van

Jesus. I nearly shit mesel just watching that

He’s tall so there might be something in it But as ewerk suggests they’d want a lot of money. Probably including an extra 20% just because it’s us

Don’t know why but I just remembered that mackem bloke that goes wild camping. But not in Snowdonia, the Scottish Highlands or the Lake District or places like that. He does it on roundabouts and under bridges and the like in Sunderland.

And the end result looked horrific

You get a few tv chefs in America who just casually use a jar of ‘marinara sauce’ or whatever in their recipes actually. Absolute piss-takers

He’s like a SoS turd

Wtf? 😂 plus some shop bought pasta sauce for that authentic home made touch

Is it not ex-mackem Jeff Whitley?

My lass fancies Captain Pugwash

That Bilbao stuff cracks me up like. The only link is the one they invented back in the 90s when we played Bilbao in the Uefa Cup. I.e. the completely fictitious tale about a Wearsider founding the club and that being why they also play in red and white. They didn’t even fucking play in red and white when they were founded. Or to put it another way, the only link is because we played them in a European competition. What could be more mackem than that?
