I don't know why people are so invested in saving Danny Baker's career anyway, he's an annoying cunt who's long past his sell-by date.

but there were a few big stories about her race at the time.
Like having an African-American Episcopalian preacher giving a holy rolling sermon at their wedding and having a African-American mother, for instance?

I literally had no idea there even was a royal baby until the morning it was born but I was obv aware of markle’s race, frankly I don’t believe baker at all on that score. Can totally believe kinder’s account of not following this kind of thing and taking a little while to clock it, but being a professional media gobshite and being unaware until *this week*? Fuck off. At best I can believe he momentarily forgot in his rush to post this excellent comedic material, it’s a pretty classic gaff and I’m glad he’s taking his lumps

it's really really easy to not give a shit about the royal family
like genuinely just completely ignore them
DB seems like someone whose instinct is to do this but for reasons of personal branding is also dutybound to attempt off-the-cuff lolrandom topical humour, which is a combo that's nailed-on going to fuck you up sooner or later

I bet you I give even less of a shit about the royal family than Danny Baker so I'm not buying that argument - mind you I don't know about calzino.

even if you don't gaf about them, just listening to 15 minutes of radio tv news bulletins in a day will expose you to information about them. idgaf about marvel superhero movies, but in a pub-quiz could probably answer which hollywood actor cunt plays who.

Ok that's one person i need next time i do a pub quiz

the day you walked into a barbers and was greeted by an unsteady looking old man propped up by a walking stick and keenly showing his manual hand clippers. "Do you want a Paul Gascoigne short back and sides lad?". Thats wot brexit wants to bring back!

the spooky tooth guy dying in 1979 is the best thing abt it tbh

Yes, it's Son of Spooky Tooth guy, not Spooky Tooth guy. Also can you be called Spooky Tooth guy when you only appeared on one Spooky Tooth album and it's not what you're best known for anyway?
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 11 May 2019 22:14 (four years ago) link
yes

That Gazza album only has the man himself on three tracks! Gazza, not Danny Baker. Wot a ripoff. Wot a low moment in Gilbert O'Sullivan's career too.

I bet Danny Baker knows why Spooky Tooth are called Spooky Tooth.

imagine if you started getting flashbacks to the Terry Wogan interview, whilst getting interviewed by Danny Baker ...
