trump shits his pants as he and zelenskyy talk at the pope's funeral (while milei is escorted out)

 "Any more attacks on my dress sense or lack of respect and l'll bite your fucking nose off".

"I'm sorry, it wasn't me it was JD - honest! Please don't hit me" (Proceeds to Shit pants).

And meanwhile. My pissed up uncle gets escorted out.  "Come on Sir - don't cause a scene. You've had one too many vinos and l must ask you to leave the premises or l'll call for backup"

reform uk - a reminder that they are twats

Another reminder these rich piss taking populist fuckers certainly do not have the UK's best interests in their plans. They'll feather their own pockets, help their rich friends and donors, and shaft the poor deluded voters who thought they had their best interests at heart. But hey - control and retribution against immigrants, boat crossings and foreign grooming gangs are what a lot of their support will be voting for, even if they eventually personally suffer and pay for it. Just a nastier version of The Tories really.

Will you be my boyfreind forever? Abbey Sings for David | Love on the Spectrum: Season 3 | Netflix

Christ on a bike l must be getting oversentimental in my old age, as despite my hard drinking wisecracking scouser reputation l was crying watching this. Mind you, l'm always a sucker for proper emotion in a song, and despite the theatrical tone of it, this certainly has emotion by the bucketload.

lenient sentencing as headteacher attacks his deputy

I'm sorry, but if you attack someone with a wrench (which are very heavy) from behind like this, you should be getting charged with attempted murder, and l'm talking as a person who (as an adult) once went after someone else to cause them physical harm with a hockey stick (long story).  Just because the victim survived does not make it less of an offence, the same as kicking or stamping on someone's head when they are on the ground or unconscious. Judges generally do not give long sentences for violent offences because they live in a world which very rarely encounters violence, unlike the poor. He'd have probably  got a longer sentence if he he stolen statues from a country estate.

Story is from here.

america - now at the arresting judges stage

This has since been taken down, but it didn't take long for Donald Trump and his corrupt cronies to start arresting Judges. A classic dictatorship move, but rather sadly, l think a lot more of this kind of boundary pushing law breaking will be happening in the near future. America, the judges, congress and the Republicans with a backbone need to get their act together to oppose this before it's too late.

historians finally get their act together

At long last Historians are putting their educations and knowledge to good use.  This kind of detail and historical accuracy is important, but couldn't they reach a compromise and say he had a long shaft?

differing hotel views - newcastle's hampton by hilton

 

The view from the front of our hotel at the weekend (Newcastle's Hampton by Hilton) was pretty good.

However, not so good at the back when coming down for breakfast. Would still recommend it though and would stay there again.

The Lightning Seeds - Pure (Official Video)

the exploding pope (and william the conqueror)

I'm full of useless information. As Michael Caine would say, not a lot of people know that a recent Pope exploded. Due to not being properly fixed (a technical term - look it up) by the papal physician Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, Pope Pius XII, who died in 1958, had a four day viewing ceremony, meanwhile, his internal gases built up until his chest exploded, and his nose and fingers fell off, while also of course, creating an ungodly stench, which caused his guards to faint.

The same kind of fate happened in 1087 to William the Conqueror as he was lowered into his grave. He exploded, and the flying body parts and stench caused the crowds to scatter.

What a way to go.
