I posted at 1.40pm and still no response from our pet jock.

I’m binding my time.

I’m binding my time.

Biding, the word is biding.

Unless your tying your watch up with string. :-)

I know the word is biding. It’s this new fucking Apple phone changing what I write. I wish they would realise not everyone is a thick American ****

Great scene in the movie Tremors 2 where he watches rhe scientist reach for some blueprints and he's checking her arse put on the sly. Then when he leans on the table to look at the blueprints she does the same to him

You had me until you mentioned Chardonnay. I shouldn’t have to explain why. So I won’t.

Thanks. I wasn’t having a go or anything.

Might have taught Religious Studies for 25 years but have acquired a pretty negative view of most faiths along the way, especially recently when it comes to America and all that cultish, quasi-Christian QAnon bollocks that has taken root there, and now the prospect of Roe v. Wade getting overturned.

Wish I could reassure you about secularisation but that’s not having much of an impact over there either.

Bootleg copies of Dawkins and Hitchens’ writing are circulating in the Islamic world, though. Am not sure they have been translated into Arabic but atheists have to keep a low profile and appreciate those two authors for saying what they can’t.

Thought James Anderton had died ages ago. Always liked ‘God’s Cop’, that Happy Mondays song about him.

Nah, he’s still bowling for England.

What’s his average?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

What’s his average?

3 Lancashire games a season.

3 Lancashire games a season.

I would have guesssrd two, but I’ve never been lucky.

Shame , very talented and a really nice person by all accounts

Kay’s daughter Gaynor, best known for her appearances in Corrie, is a friend of mine.
She is currently en route back from Croatia where she was when the news broke. Kay was in Spain at the time of her death. Kay was 71 and seemingly in good health. Neither Gaynor nor any of the family’s connections have any information on how Kay died.
RIP, Kay.

She seemed very nice and interesting when I heard her on Desert Island Discs. And superb taste in music
