    Thank you everyone. I'm in London and have had the mother of all hangovers today. It was worth it like, but I'm clearly getting old

    Muchos Happy Birthdayness tooo yooooo!! Have a lush day pet
  3. Altrincham is lovely! Was going to invite you to an impromptu reunion of Loafers Anonymous members in London in a couple of weeks but I won't now Will give you a shout the next time I'm in Manc though.
  4. Have you moved out of That London now, Dave?
  5. If it looks like that you want to see a doctor
  6. Took the bairn to see Sing today. Must admit that it was pretty good!
  7. Aye, except my dad told me That Peter Kay had died.. Dozy bastard
  8. I'm normally an avid news consumer but won't be watching a minute of today's shenanigans. I can't bear to look at him and every time he opens that mouth that looks like a dog's arsehole I'm physically repulsed. I particularly like Patton Oswalt's idea of how to deal with things. Patton Oswalt 13 hrs ยท I don't know what to do tomorrow, either. Or the day after that or ANY of the days after that. We'll have to make it up as we go along. If it's any comfort, that seems to be Trump's plan, too. I know there are protest marches planned for the 20th and ESPECIALLY for Saturday. And that's a great idea. I'm glad to see they're happening in "red" states as well as in D.C., Los Angeles and NYC. But I was thinking... Another thing you could do tomorrow, and Saturday? But ESPECIALLY tomorrow? Leave your TV tuned to a channel like Turner Classic Movies or National Geographic or any channel that will have zero inaugural coverage. Then turn off your phone. Then shut down your computer. And then -- IF you can afford it -- go find a struggling theater company and pay to see whatever play they're putting on. Or a struggling art gallery or music club or museum. Leave 'em money and see what they're about. Go see an indie film that's got stellar reviews and no audience. Or a new restaurant or other small business that needs friends and customers. Download a new band. Go to an independent bookstore and buy something from a small press. Go to an open mike. Or see any comedian. Tip your barista or barkeep a little extra. In other words, do all of the cultural and aesthetic things that Trump thinks are worthless. Make a whole big chunk of existence suddenly spike in importance. And then keep doing that, if you can. And if you DON'T have any money? Go knock on your neighbor's door and see if they need anything. If you have a friend who's Muslim, or gay, or any one of dozens of people that Trump has sneered at or hinted darkly about, go say hi and just ask if they're okay. Tell 'em you've got their back. That they can come over any time, knock on the door, even if they just need someone to yell "FUCK" with. This is going to be loooooooooooong, tense four years. We elect leaders to take worry and tension OFF of our plates. We have enough of that as it is. But for some reason, we decided to put someone in charge where the everyday weight of keeping the world from cracking apart is COMPLETELY on our shoulders, along with everything else we already have to deal with. So if we're really going to fight back, and resist, the first thing we have to do -- and it's only a little thing, really, but it's gotta be everyday -- is an ongoing, gentle blowing on the tiny spark of sanity that's still left, to keep it glowing. We've got a President who bellows cold ignorance from dawn to dusk, and he could give a shit if he kills that spark. So keep it lit. And keep things light. And huddle up. This is gonna be bad. So be good
  9. No doubt the press who absolutely destroyed him will now be in gushing eugolgy mode. As others have said, and as many are saying on the radio at the moment, just a kind, lovely man who loved football.
  10. Seems like it's come out of the blue. Just listening to 5Live here and commentators/colleagues of his all in shock.
  11. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38599231
  12. I know a 15-yr old had been charged but they don't say that it's her sister. I was just wondering where that's being reported as it's unthinkable for the family.
  13. I was really proud of them until you fuckers spoiled it
  14. Unbearable story, having a 7-yr old myself. The children in her class are too young to have to learn about this kind of brutality and grief against one of their friends Where do you get the sister thing from btw?
  15. Well that's just ruined the beautiful memory of my cake
  16. You haven't hoovered for the best part of 10 years...
  17. No it couldn't! He had a Where's Wally hat on and "Is it me you're looking for?" piped in icing!
  18. That cake was Lionel Richie, you shit
  19. It made me laugh. Which made me cough. Which sent the machines haywire and a nurse come running with a nebuliser Fist was kind enough to point out that what I had was Bird Flu which was obviously the female version of Man Flu.
  20. I know we joke about flu and man-flu etc but this was another level. No aches and pains, no sore throat, no headache. Runny nose and sneezes on Thursday night at work, felt shit Fri night but still went to work and went downhill really fast. I left at 8am with a temp of 39.2 and a pulse rate of 150, took paracetamol and convinced myself I just needed to go to sleep and I'd be okay. By the time I got home I couldn't take enough breath in or out and my nail beds were blue. Straight back to A&E and all hell broke loose.
  21. No, but I definitely will now. Thanks
  22. Sammy has accused me of delivering "the equivalent of the STD call"
  23. Knobhead! No comedies, my lungs don't work and laughing makes me cough
