Judging by Google image search, Blair appeared to be kicking or saving a football for virtually his entire tenure.

not entirely true because he also spent a decent chunk of his tenure clutching a guitar iirc

if that plane had just hit the ground a little bit harder we’d be living in a very different world today

I bet Rory could take out Dan Jarvis and Johnny Mercer in a feit, but he would be using the deadly stick-fighting skills he mastered on his quixotic adventures in Johnny Foreigner-land.

Maskless, Rattled and Puce was the law firm he started at

Jon Lansman and Neil Kinnock give accounts of Kinnock's punch up with an unnamed Tony Benn supporter in the gents at the 1981 Labour party conference, with Kinnock doing that style of bragging where you affect to be magnanimous

Van Horn Street has been banned permanently. 20+ FPs in the past month (22 in past 48 hours). 1 week ban. Unban date 5 March 2122

Ahhh

Ugh.

Let him have it, calz... oh, hold on.

the "hf" stands for "hard fucker"

imagine the total lack of self-respect it would take to actually be Tom Harwood, going about your life

I'm sure he respects himself enormously.
