Will never use three or four words when a couple of thousand will easily do!….Jake Thackray summed it up.

Ah Lindsey says she's part French part Scandinavian and part Parrot (Norwegian Blue?).

That explains a lot.

Nice Monty Python reference

 

[Lord Helpus]

With apologies to Hammy, I have to mention the euros.

And as Harry Kane said we beat the Dutch, Holland and the Netherlands in one day. Bloody well done

And now we only have to beat one team - Spain - on their own.

We must have a good chance.

Love JT. She goes on and on and on and on. And the Friggin' Brigadier. And Lah de Da. Brilliant singer songwriter and guitarist. I used to play in folk clubs where he was and is revered.

Love them. So clever, so funny, so absurd. No modern "comedy" even comes close.

I don't think he can be. He founded the company 120 years ago so getting on a bit but is still a pal of Peter Simon.

Perhaps he meant Methuselah

Well we beat them 2-0 on the road to qualifying for Euro 24, and we're crap, so doubt it should be too hard for England.

Although, England do have a habit of underperforming in major finals over the years, many a good England team have let themselves and fans down at finals. But with the law of averages, you must be due an England team that actually fulfills it potential, so maybe this is the year.

The elderly neighbour should have hung the video doorbell around her neck and used it as an alarm to notify herself that she'd collapsed.

I think that's what Olivia meant, the dumb ***.

We want a lead based remote control to throw at Olivia when it turns out to be useless

Ideal World website was updated this morning to display their Twitpilot® score!

On a serious note, I'm kinda of amazed their Trutpilot score is as good as it is (3.9).

The 1, 2, and 3 star reviews are enlightening though (and they have more 1 star reviews than anything else).

Someone complaining they move on from products too fast (clearly never endured a 120 minute walking cane n' copper socks show)

But I'm not convinced this review is real - that's first layer leathers yer dissin' there, Janis love!

My African grey is highly offended by Lindsey comparing herself to a parrot

With IW 2 their TP score was utterly awful.
But genuine.
Suddenly, around 3 years ago, if I remember correctly ,they cottoned on and hundreds of single sentence reviews appeared, with very, very little detail. IW also started soliciting reviews.
Suddenly their score went through the roof.
Not suspicious at all.
Oh no.

His guitar style is not easy to replicate either. Saw him at The Stables in Milton Keynes in the 1990s. Somewhat past his best, but those brilliantly observed songs will always stand the test of time.

It’s a bit lighter, I guess, but I used to really enjoy Fred Wedlock. His ‘Handier Household Help’ makes me smile even now…

Yep, was like about 30/40 new revues a day, all positive.

Just turned on IW, Sally Jacks well that wasn’t the price I was told

He had a chart hit, didn't he? The Oldest Swinger in Town..

He did. Bristolian folk singer around in the early 70s.
