The best thing you can say about Dolly is she was loved by all the right people, and she absolutely pisses off all the worst people, and she did it all exactly the right way.

This really is a very silly story indeed, and the people behind it also got N.W.A.’s greatest hits album signed by Fraser Hines, Sylvester McCoy, Peter Purves (who “didn’t bat an eyelid”), and Michael Jayston—and then got the Doctor Who Sound Effects album signed by Public Enemy

  Of course you can. It’s not an unreasonable question, there’s a long answer and a short answer. You see I’ve got form on this score. It all began as these things often do with Steve O’Brien a...

Firstly, RIP Bill Oddie, sorry for this second tasteless bit but I need to get it out of my head. Secondly, 🎵Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, wonder where they’ll bury the body. 🎵

The most annoying thing to come out of this World Cup is that Haaland made me like him. The bastard.

Where… where… where’s the football?

Got my ticket!
