Pastel drawing of Paddington pushing Rod Liddle down some stairs and saying 'I don't like marmite'
I used to work near one of Rod Liddle’s preferred lunchtime restaurants and would often catch him exiting as I was heading home. Once saw him “live life to the full” all down his front and over his shoes.
There's a new Viz on sale today. And King Charles makes an exciting discovery in the Buckingham Palace gardens nature reserve, in 'King, Queen and Knave.'
Everyone who uses "smart glasses" to be legally required to strap one of these to their head and light it up when the camera is on
"My Grok version of The Odyssey was so amazingly historically accurate that it caused a fissure in Time and went hurtling back to dinosaur days, and that's why you can't see it, unless you're a dinosaur."
Nigel Auchterlounie@n-auchterlounie.bsky.social · 2w ago"Make the first full-length AI movie! And make it better than Nolan's!" The movie of the making of that movie is going to be amazing! "Before this year ends." He's got five months! He won't be happy with the results and, with two months left, will sack everyone and try to do it himself.
I can find a link between vaccines and autism for $4 billion - it would probably involve tiny invisible pixies in the vaccines - then I would spend some of my riches on hiring someone to follow RFK around with a bucket of used rubber johnnies and flick them at his head for the rest of his life
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3w agoRFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."
Cartoon from 2005: Ann Widdecombe and her High Church Mice
He's tripped over a guy rope and the piss-sodden tent has collapsed on him.
Davey Jones@daveyjones.bsky.social · 4w agoI suppose he prefers being outside the tent pissing in, rather than inside the tent drowning in his own piss

Perhaps he'll use a skywriting plane to write his announcement in the sky, and the plane will crash, and this time the hounds of Fate will not be denied?
Don't get your hopes up. It may just have been a typo, and he's going to announce that he has invested in a pubic lice farm
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 4w agoNEW: Nigel Farage to give statement on “my future in public life” at 2pm
Just smashed a glass and put it in the bin wrapped in a curated algorithmic feed tailored to my perceived interests, and I don’t know, sometimes I think you do need a newspaper.
"Every month, on the 3rd, like clockwork an invoice appears on the kitchen table, written in copperplate and what looks like blood. It reads "Haunting Services - 5 Guineas and Sixpence. Leave payment on table by the window seat, and a half of Brewery Bitter."
If ever there was a prime candidate for somebody to return to earth as a cantankerous ghost, flitting from pub to pub making people's mobile phones fly across the room, and chilling the marrows of those who use salty language, then that person is Sir Humphrey Smith
To mark the demise of Humphrey Smith, here’s the @daveyjones.bsky.social dig at the Sam Smiths chain and their somewhat eccentric / complete nutcase owner Humphrey the other year.
I spent the summer of 1976 at my Aunt Meg's cottage on the surface of the Sun, where me and my dog uncovered a gang of smugglers and were rewarded with a Chopper bike with asbestos wheels. That just wouldn't happen now.
There is Virgin broadbandings issue in your area. Thankings for patience, we workings to fixing problems as quickly as we can
Burnham needs to get into smaller and smaller means of transport, ending up with him rollerskating into parliament like Frank Spencer
I love the Comic Cuts podcast by @kevfcomicartist.bsky.social And great to hear Donald Sinden in "There Goes My Knighthood" by @daveyjones.bsky.social getting a mention - it was the first time I cried with laughter reading a comic strip! youtu.be/inla_NdxjNY?...

Back in Hereford. A pint of Butty, a loaf of wine, and thou beside me, singing in the wilderness, etc
There's a new Viz on sale today, featuring 'Keir Starmer's Pajama Drama.' And my use of the American spelling for 'pyjama' throughout the strip was of course deliberate - it was a wry, ironical comment on, er, the global infiltration of Americanisms, or something.
“And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids”.
If, like me, you're the sort of person who is eventually going to die, you really ought to buy this book.
Christina Martin@christinamartin.bsky.social · 2mo agoAn hour's worth of interview I recorded was clipped down to nothing and released with zero mention of the book 💀 So if you could please repost to compensate for all the lost promo I would be most cheered up, thank you ❤️ geni.us/getaheadofbe...
