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.

Ibiza Compo.

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.

fair play mate, very envious, it's one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the world I've ever seen. will go back one day, would love to re-do the road from castelaine (sp?) to lac de saint croix on me fireblade rather than a self converted mercedes sprinter! ps... not going to even attempt to give you any tips on going up cliff faces, however if you need to know how to out manouver french families in pedaloes I'm your man!

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.

This article billiantly summarises the rank incompetence of the government that has led us to having the highest death rate per capita in the entire world really well. It's a fucking national disgrace and a tragedy. So many bits to choose from, this probably sums it up. https://bylinetimes.com/2020/04/11/a-national-scandal-a-timeline-of-the-uk-governments-woeful-response-to-the-coronavirus-crisis/?fbclid=IwAR0nlnGbgt8zSKmm82HYaDbdMGzhtr8XPNILbyM5T1NgQXXai7CMz-yauh8 The government's actions should never be forgotten or forgiven.

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.

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

I think there were one or two smart lasses who were into house, techno and drum and bass as well like

They are the only ones who sprang to mind at this time they did a track where they sampled John Pertwee as Dr Who banging on about kinetic energy...can’t remember its name but it’s was chemically implanted into my brain more than 25 years ago

No idea what you mean...

I was a bit like that too...I’d pretty much taken early retirement from football by 92/93 though + had moved down south...I was bang into running around fields, old houses, beaches etc, anywhere with a beat. Knew it wasn’t for me long term and by 95 I was back in the fold..

quite weird reflecting on that era, personally alternated between a saturday afternoon yob, a militant and then a summertime festival hippie! some of the original travellers I got to know and who were at the beanfield are still about and on the road, mostly horse drawn vehicles now and tend to crop stll with their own fields at festivals in the midlands/southwest. doubt that they'll get the opportunity this summer.

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.

Aye Wiltshire police + reinforcements just turned up and totalled virtually every vehicle in the field & anyone who put up a fight got the same.I’m of the opinion that this order came from very high up indeed, the miners strike had just finished and the home office & police were emboldened to think that they could do precisely what they wanted and get away with it. Travellers limped on for a few years after but this was the turning point. I saw their “last stand” at Glastonbury 1993 when on the Sunday night they turned all the stalls in the market area over. Eavis had let them in for nothing as usual but by then they were mostly a bunch of desperate pricks. Criminal Justice Act a year later saw most of them off the road for good

Implementing the shutdown earlier in Ireland played a massive part in getting control of this but as a country we’re much less densely populated and have much less large scale public transport than the U.K. which naturally gives us an advantage.

I always thought probably one of the most shocking distortions of the truth during the thatcher era as well as the probably the most disturbing acts of police brutality was to the peace convoy near stonehenge in 85. the hippies were portrayed as being outlaws armed with firebombs. they were fucking families living in buses! largely lost in time now amongst hillsborough and orgreave but a national scandal nonetheless, I think it was the fledgling channel 4 news footage which was mysteriously 'lost' for years.....

No. Some of the daily stats are over a week late atm. So as much as they aren’t accurate numbers day to day, they probably do average out as a means of following case trends

I asked my parents why Churchill lost - they reckoned the people remembered the lead up to the war and how the tories were - along with the promise of the NHS. I asked why Labour lost in 51 - they reckoned the promise of creating a country fit for heroes hadn't quite worked out - though of course in that election they got more votes than the tories but were undone by the usual votes in the wrong place problem.

And enough people will believe it

Considering the ages of the participants it’s rather a claim to frame tbh.
