guy was Welsh but it happened in England so allowed on this thread I think

then he bites seagull's head off and throws it spinning into the sky as it segues into a spaceship..

what's the update on these irrepressible josh merchants?

They appeared in several episodes of the 2018 season of Benidorm, playing a pair of financial fraud investigation officers tailing transvestite hotel employee Les (Tim Healy).

Hale and Pace continued their charity work with a 1992 stint as spokespersons for the National Egg Awareness Campaign.

great days, long gone now of course

au contraire - http://www.poultrynews.co.uk/business-politics/marketing/tom-daley-signed-up-to-promote-eggs-in-2019.html

eggs are cancelled

imagine spending a million quid to raise awareness of... eggs

not even the klf had that kind of vision

(this picture oddly like the last one i posted)

one of my partners 40's/50's era great uncles was a maverick pisshead who ran an unsuccessful butchers business in Dewsbury and was an anti-egg crusader who went into rants about "balls of corruption" when customers asked: where are the eggs? But apparently it was letting customers run up huge tabs and forgetting about it after he'd had a skinful was what run his business to the ground!

"balls of corruption" feels like the edgy slogan world egg day needs in our dark-yearning times tbh

All credit to the busker in this shopping centre, an ambulance crew have showed up for someone who's collapsed and he's still hard at it banging out "Valerie" as they're helping her into the back

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/30/eurostar-trains-cancelled-as-man-spends-night-on-st-pancras-station-roof-with-st-georges-flag

Thousands of passengers have had their travel plans thrown into chaos after Eurostar cancelled all services to and from St Pancras when a man brandishing a St George’s flag was caught trespassing on the station’s roof. The 44-year-old spent the night on the roof of the central London station, bringing Eurostar services to a halt before he was arrested by police on Saturday morning.

Eurostar was forced to cancel at least eight trains, sparking disruption for the weekend getaway, due to the man being in “a precarious position”. An image showed the man standing in the middle of the station’s roof clutching the flag as police looked on.

Taking back control...of the Eurostar timetable!

anyone who wants to go in or out of France is obviously a traitor so

apart from the posher end of the fash with blatantly French surnames.

i must've unwittingly strayed in to a perilous demographic cos all of a sudden half the adverts i get through social media are for clarks' polyveldts and the like ('beefburger shoes' as my wife would have it). not even sure who wears them these days apart from my dad. what are the main cultural vectors for these things? who would be the archetypal Polyveldt Man? years ago it would've been strictly geography teachers, but i'm guessing they're rocking the centrist dad classic trainers these days

NHS staff have been sent a warning letter about 63-year-old Christopher Dearlove by its Counter Fraud Service, telling them to ring 999 immediately if they see the man, who also goes by the names Gary Wainwright, Gary Lampard, Gary Ryan and Gary Fowler.

I think I signed him once on FM '07.

Here's the teamsheet for tonight's game and we are absolutely furious because Sydenham have fielded their players to spell out "SRFC ARE SHIT". We know this for a fact because Dane Francis, a striker, is wearing number 3. Hope the league committee throw the book at them for this. pic.twitter.com/SU5uszGbiQ

Sweet. Neil Lennon should consider that for the next Old Firm game.

Streatham Rovers are a joy.
