Whether play a Father out of his depth protecting his family from dinosaurs, or a billionaire determined f*ck everything for greed, he made it his own. RIP Sam Neill.

I need to go to bed. I apologise. I am but a man. In the broadest terms.

This is an interesting and ultimately unsettling article which is worth your time. crispinflintoff.substack.com/p/the-starme...

While the GOP and MAGA use Linsey Graham's death for everything from grandstanding to trying to get shit legislation though on the 'it's what he would have wanted' bullshit, there's this little nugget. He sold out. And he was cheap.

Everything is so chaotic but if you strip away the nonsense and the deliberate blurring of details, you can see a pattern emerge. There's a plan. There's always a plan.

I am not writing any long podcasts or articles at the moment because it's like ninety degrees in here and prolonged periods writing and recording mean I am soaked in sweat. And it's unhealthy. And much as I enjoy making things, I am not dying for the sake of a few chuckles. Back soon.

Big story here. What an admission by the FBI re: Epstein! More details live on today’s episode 👇

Same thing with Louise Hague. She backed Starmer and Starmer appeared to back her when matters from her past - which she was told didn't matter - suddenly mattered. Then Starmer blanked her, as did McSweeney & started briefing against her. Then denied it to her face. We need better people.

I can't remember the guy's name but he went from Tories to Reform, then when Reform started ramping up the racism, he said he couldn't go along with that. Their answer "Lie to the voters". That's their modus operandi. Tell dumb people what they want to hear and sit back and count the money.

This is basically one of the best videos about Lynsey Graham. How the Republicans, who didn't like him, suddenly do. youtu.be/YmF0C-cd1s0?...

I've listened to the Archers a couple of times lately and I can't tell who is who. They all sound the same. To combat this, I suggest each character has their own theme playing just before they speak, and the BBC publish a small handbook telling people whose theme is whose. Problem solved.

I have to stay up for a show which I am not sure is happening and have no way of contacting the other guy to confirm because they are not responding to emails. Maybe if he's not there I'll do a show myself. Updates to follow.

I find it annoying people say I am out of touch. I am not out of touch. I have my finger on the pulse. I am hip to the groove. I listen to Kajagoogoo. What more do people want?

My hair feels like pudding.

While you lot are watching the football with ya mates, I am writing a script on Sumerian tablets. Because I too know how to have a good time.

Yeah, as someone I worked with once said "It's a joy coming in in the rain at five am and he's already started with the nuts speak"

Blimey. Nigel's done himself up a bit for the byelection

Police "Please don't speculate" Which leads to (at the moment) a solid hour of speculation with guests and former colleagues. Can people stop rubber necking?

Manhunt into the alleged killer of Ann Widdicombe. Sheesh. I didn't like her politics, but I can't say what she was like as a person. And she was a person. And as such she deserved better than apparently being battered to death. Every one does. This is not who we are. This is not the UK I knew.

Thirty plus!!!! Never amount to anything, eh, Mr Foster, Mr Goodban, Mr Cox, Mrs Franklyn, Miss Bird, Mrs Rose, Mrs Rush, Mr Ashby, Mr Appleton, Mr Barclay, Mr Bush, Mr Rule, Mrs Neill, Mr Straw, Mr Blunden, the staff of the college, adult education centre & all my employers. And Doctors. Take That!

Nigel Farage does indeed speak with conviction and if there's any justice pretty soon he'll have a couple more convictions.

Well, that's nice.

Go Binface

It's as close to a sin to throw away books as a thinking person can get without it actually being a sin.

Webb : Can you give a good reason why people should vote for you? Binface : Vote for me because I am not Nigel Farage.

I called Mitch McConnell and talked to him for 20 minutes, but it was hard to hear him over the sound of roaring fires and people screaming

Bonnie Tyler. Wow. Gone. Just like that. Another slice of my Generations youth swept away by the merciless advance of time. Good tunes, better times. RIP

The Witch Hunt.

I bet Farage is whereever he is now stroking that turkey neck and wondering WTF to do now. "I am better than the guy with the bin on his head" is as true as "Brexit's going great!"

Clacton! Which gets your vote?

The thing about Farage and a lot of people like him, of all Political hues - indeed in life - is that they think having money makes them smart. Some of the stupidest people in the world are very wealthy. The ratio of cash to klutz is surprisingly high. Take a look at random at some rich people.

The absolute Chef's Kiss to all this would be if Farage stands, his only opposition is BinFace and BinFace wins. Imagine the humliation! You cannot pay for entertainment like that.

No one can say Farage's departure leaves his seat in the commons empty.

If I am quiet it's because I am formulating a cunning plan and my hands are busy taking turns twirling my moustache whilst making fiendish plan master mind laughing type noises.

When you consult the I-Ching about things and the reply is 'I'm busy'.

I am in a queue, The woman in front of me is talking to her friend in the next queue over. She says to me "I don't know whether to stay in this queue or go over there". I said "if you go over there you can talk to your friend"

Just jammed my toe (accidently) into a portable voice booth thing which was on the floor. Never saw a toe contain so much of the red stuff. Could this be the end of my ballet career? Will I ever be in the remake of Saturday Night Fever? Oh, the pain, the gore... the naked and shocking wound

Coming soon: The Headline Edition Cultural Dissection. Pretentious twaddle about music, art and all sorts of things. Headline Edition: Good, honest, crap.

Sorry but if I don't go to bed now I might see the football.

Everyone one the radio sounds about twelve. I keep on expecting to hear "So, the economic outlook for GDP growth looks sluggish, but by implementing new tax thresholds we should be able to... got to get my bike, me and Luke are off down the park cos Samantha is there and Luke fancies her. Bye"

After a run of astonishingly poor moves (I am known for my poor moves) I finally emerge from my loss cocoon victorious.

I badly need to update my cultural references. I leep making comments and no one knows wtf I am talking about. "You made my interest vanish like David Nixon". "Johnny Morris would be proud of that noise". "Hey, I am no square! get with the program. I am hip and in the groove" All useless.
