Theres two things you can do, that's nothing and pay me 100 quid for an armband.

Kate Williams: Doctor, author, historian and all round sex pot. 

 

Someone has been watching House Of Games all week. 

I know how this place loves a good toilet story, so here goes. 

I've been in Kingston Upon Thames this morning for work. On the way back around the M25 I get to the A1 turn off and I am absolutely busting for a piss. Call in at South Mimms services, virtually running (Well high speed waddling) past the gaudy Starbucks to the toilet. No time to choose a suitable urinal, just had to go for the nearest. Do the necessary business, and only then do I notice that stood 2 urinals down from me is former Tory Prime Minister John Major. We both turn in unison (Not the union obviously) and go to wash our hands. I felt I should have said something, but for the first time in my entire life I was speechless, so I half heartedly dried my hands and left. 

So the question has to be, and I know what you lot are like: Ever been flanked at the urinal by anyone famous?

I'll never be able to look at my William Regal book in the same light again.

You never see columns about the no go areas in Portsmouth that are full of mental locals and violent sailors. 

All you can see is the bodies of pediatricians strewn all over the place. It's the scandal that dare not speak its name.

Can’t believe that had never crossed my mind before. Arguably the only wrestler I can think of where I might actually be able to enjoy their speech without feeling so embarrassed and awkward that I turn inside out.

I think I remember Regal saying that he thinks he would only be put in the HOF if they ever have Wrestlemania in the UK. 

His speech would be great though. Knowing his love of old school british variety he would probably want Superfly Jimmy Tarbuck or Mick Miller to induct him. 

Regal has to go in at some point surely. 

@David As you rightly say Fury is one of the best pure boxers that the heavyweight division has seen in decades. Potentially though so is Usyk. If the 2 of them were to face each other do you think that Usyk is big enough as a heavyweight to be able to dance with Fury, and how would you see that fight going?

I mean, they also don't recognise the ICC

They just don't have any love for cricket. I guess it is a hangover from colonial times. 

Go through this list. Some absolute bangers. The club mix of Zadok The Priest is amazing.

Ruiz is 15lb heavier than he was in June, the heaviest he's been since his pro debut. Dont like the sound of that.

The Buster Douglas training regime. 

I agree with Biffers. That is a real tough one.

Is that for the Brexit Party? the Indian gentleman she's on about knocked on my door last week campaigning in Sunderland, seemed a nice enough fella if so

It's for UKIP, but they all look the same to me. 

I think this belongs in here rather than the election thread, as it is more comedy than politics. 

The other thing that really annoys Andrew Neil is when Private Eye print this picture of him with a lady of negotiable affection.

I hate politics, don't know who to vote for, and need advice. Take it this is the wrong place to be. 

Anywhere in the UK is the wrong place.

I'm amazed blogs are still a thing, isn't it all vlogs and podcasts and Reddit these days?

 

I'm sure that a 2 Sheds YouTube channel would draw one hell of a following.

If I'm searching for relevance in today's world I will be sure to read your new blogs.

Did you remove the custard cream filing from the biscuits, or did it work as a type of binder for the base?

I didn't remove the filling. I blended the custard creams down to the consistency I wanted, emptied them out onto the bottom of the tin, added melted butter, then smoothed them onto the bottom of the tin before putting it in the fridge to set. 

As the last 30+ years of booking shows Keith Lee will either be dancing with The New Day, cucking Rusev with Lashley or become Junkyard Dog 2.0 within weeks. Vince is an old fashioned racist and he books accordingly.

I fear this is bollocks, but there's a rumour that because Johnson is no-showing the leaders climate debate, Channel 4 are commissioning an ice sculpture of him to put in his assigned slot. If it happened to slowly melt away under the lights, well, these things happen.

Boris slowly melting under the lights will happen if he is there or if it's an ice sculpture. 

Whoever's running his campaign needs firing. That they keep putting him in situations that he can't possibly look good in is baffling. That one with the nurses yesterday was a PR shitshow that even Prince Andrew wouldn't think went well.

Ranallo's commentary isn't 'putting fillings in

Britt Baker's job as we have already established. Move on Malvo. 

I made a custard cream cheesecake during the UKFF blackout. Custard creams for the base obviously, with a very vanilla filling and then broken up custard creams for decoration. Absolute filth but tasty as you like. 

My favourite cake would be any variation of sponge, but with a preference for lemon or orange. I also like a roulade.

It was just nice to have Britt featured without it being mentioned that she's a dentist.

Mauro's commentary is like pulling teeth and they didn't want to infringe on his gimmick.
