Can you see aftershave through YouTube?
Nah. Theyâre all hipsters these days.
I was torn between âI want to pull your beard offâ and âIâve already paid Fat Bob a monkey to break your kneecapsâ.

It is unbelievable but sadly predictable. Making access to London easier for the Conservative voting residents of Surrey & Herts, while simultaneously ignoring the equal if not more pressing requirements of the North as well as the West & South West. How long will the rest of the country have to suffer seeing the lionâs share of infrastructure spend going to the South East?
The timing & manner of this announcement also stinks.

I distinctly remember in my 20âs coming to realise just how perfectly Margaret Thatcher had mastered this approach. Her philosophy seemed to be âIt doesnât matter at all how appallingly and blatantly unfair you are to the minority of the population, as long as you can take a majority of the voters with you the rest can be used as scapegoats for anything you fancy then boiled down for soap by way of retributionâ. The word âcynicalâ didnât come close to doing it justice.

Allowing that corner of the country to soak up all the wealth & effectively overheat has been a policy that seems to have been in place for 40-50 years. And then residents of the South East are surprised & hurt when, in the only way they can, large and neglected swathes of the rest of the country tell them to fuck right off.
No of course it wasnât the correct response & itâll probably cause those areas further hardship in future but giving Cameron & co a kick in the teeth last year was evidently an attractive option. It would seem that the message hasnât yet got through. Maybe a full on civil war would do it.

Maybe even longer. My parents moved from Lincolnshire to London in the mid 50âs and my mother couldnât believe the wealth, facilities, employment, nightlife and all round âbuzzâ that the place had even then.

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
EARTHQUAKE IN TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE
An earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale hit Telford in the early hours. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering âFuuuckinellâ.
The tremor decimated the area causing approximately ÂŁ30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa del Sol were damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. The West Mercia police reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still coming to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Telford. One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, âit was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes come running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Jeremy Kyle the next morningâ.
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of White Lightning to the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing are most sought after - items most needed include:
Baseball caps
Full matching tracksuits
Nike Huarachi trainers
Tartan pyjamas
UGG Boots and any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Microwave meals, Pot Noodles, Tins of baked beans, ice cream, Cans of Strong Bow or Special Brew and of course pies.
22p buys a biro for filling in compensation forms.
ÂŁ3 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
ÂŁ8 buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

There are programmes on the BBC (Wolf Hall, Victorian Farm, Timewatch etc) that aim to let us hear real voices from the past, so we can actually get inside the heads of people who were living in societies so different from ours that they might as well be foreign countries, or even different planets. That doesnât happen very often on Radio 4âs The World At One though. But if youâve ever wondered what an early hominid, say one thatâs barely learnt to walk upright, sounded like then you should listen again to the interview theyâve just run with this bonehead http://www.pimlicoplumbers.com/about-us/charlie-mullins. I swear you couldnât make him up. His critical acumen and laser-like analytical skills were shown off at their very best in his final remark: âJeremy Corbynâs a twatâ. Iâm not sure whether to laugh or to cry.

He was stupid, annoying and offensive. Presumably he wonât be invited back.
Is he the one who was involved in the Gina Miller case against the government? An active employer in the âgigâ economy?
Had dealing with his company when I lived and worked in London. Interesting is the word Iâll useâŚ
