It absolutely happened Steve didn't you see the film????
I doubt Farage has read a book in his adult life. He's the classic 'war movie history' historian.
My poor 14 year old daughter tried to watch Darkest Hour the other day only for me to keep interjecting despite my best efforts to zip it. In the end she said "can you please just shut up - it's a film and not your stupid book." And I think she speaks for us all.
We compromised and watched 'A Quiet Place' instead. True Story.

9/11 is our "where were you when you heard JFK had been shot" isn't it. Felt like the world was ending.
I was on a train when my friend texted me. And then rang me. And then kept texting me updates. It was lunchtime and most of the other passengers seemed to be completely unaware of it. Just carrying on as normal.
Several predictable morons in the thread suggesting that these people deserved to die because of their government and its foreign policy. There really are some fucking morons in this world.

Now reminded of my favourite Peter Cook story.
It may be apocryphal but I haven't the heart to check.
Earlier today when I thought I might have to talk about a cartoon referencing Nelson... I started checking the old "blind eye" story.... and well I increasingly believe that literally none of the great stories that happened actually happened.

Three days of digging and head swimming there...

What's the worst invention in history - and yes it's (potentially) for a thing.
I don't like superlatives. I suppose 'what's a bad invention that we use' would be better.
I know it's not an invention... but I'm tempted to add Elvis Presley's late 60s film career. Because as I've just been reminded by London Live... it was one of the worst things that ever happened

What the hell?? What the flipping hell?
You have to watch that video. And if you don't I'll be round yours later asking why not... my jaw is on the floor
He says *we don't take people with malice* and then goes on about Yorkshire folks.
