A mate played it in his car on a road trip from Bolton to reading and back. Particularly amusing when read aloud by coogan in character.

Twitter. I don’t use it lots but after a match, especially after a win against your biggest rivals, it’s just a delight.

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Just read Jane Austen's
THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND FROM THE REIGN OF HENRY THE 4TH TO THE DEATH OF CHARLES THE 1ST BY A PARTIAL, PREJUDICED, AND IGNORANT HISTORIAN.
Well worth a read, the views of someone who lived two hundred plus years ago. If interested you may find it on Gutenberg Press. It isn't lengthy ,indeed short.

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Reading great song lyrics. A favourite one (in part only, is fro the Big Rock Candy Mountains.:
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall, the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Re: What are you reading tonight?
Getting difficult to avoid the sheer spate of "Harry says" bile aimed at his brother as every media link seems obsessed with it. I have no interest in who,what.when or what's next?, but the headlines are difficult to avoid. Most unbelievable thing about it all is why someone in his position needs to shame his family with these "revelations". Is the answer really "financial" that he has to write a book about it, surely not? What ever else the are, the Royal family have always been reasonably discreet despite Princess Margaret and Diana being media targets for indiscretions, which should have always been private life stuff. I admired Harry for his military career being one of the few, beside his who actually earned their medals, but this is hardly heroic stuff. Maybe time for Charles to actually earn his "King" title and get his house in order?

Re: What are you reading tonight?
When you're talking discreet, TD, did you miss the "squidgygate/tampongate" story from our current King and some random woman we've apparently got to call "Queen Consort?" who he was knocking off whilst he was married?TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 9:23 amGetting difficult to avoid the sheer spate of "Harry says" bile aimed at his brother as every media link seems obsessed with it.

I was actually thinking of her deceased majesty and the Duke Worthy, as the Royals, but none of them have ever been on my Christmas card list.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 12:27 pm

Yeah, fair enough. Had time for QEII, not much for him.

Until now I'd found it all pretty easy to avoid, so thank you very much

Re: What are you reading tonight?
I realised when I flicked on the TV this morning that every media outlet would be spending today poring over it. Being as I've spent most of today in the car I simply avoided the radio and listened to 'There's No Such Thing as a Fish' podcasts instead.

I have nothing against Prince Harry - In fact, I think the treatment he and his wife have received in the media is nothing short of diabolical.
However, I give about as much of a shit about what he has to say about anything, as he does me. Same with his brother, or his Dad (whoever that is)

Fingered some old bird behind a pub

Sniffed a bit of Charlie

Killed 25 people
Unsure. Will have to look through my camera roll

Re: What are you reading tonight?
The stand-out point (my opinion) is that H has done himself and his wife and family no favours at all with his "revelations". Silence is golden was never truer a saying. He may make an increase in his bank balance "may" being the operative word", but yesterday's chip paper could well play a part soon.
The Royal Family (well, his father's only King of England and the British Commonwealth), The Armed Forces, Parliament and surely a fair amount of the general public are hardly going to see his heroics as applause worthy, and that's just inside our Sceptred Isle. Badly done Harry....
