A WHAT? Happy birthday etc!

100% this. If I had Tony's money I'd start my own football league full of old players/out of contract players, playing in classic shirts every week.

Conan remains one of the funniest people ever. This is fantastic.

Yeah I posted about in the documentary thread, it was fantastic. Of course my experiences are nothing like those of an Asian person, but as someone with two sisters who are half Indian, racism towards them was a part of growing up, but nothing like portrayed on the documentary. Horrific. I think I've told this before, but until I was about 6 or 7 I thought my sisters were from Cyprus, as that's what I'd been told from my Mum and Dad (who is not their Dad) which is quite messed up, but I think it was to protect me (us?) in a way. And we lived on an estate in Isleworth that was at least half black and Asian. This country has always been mental. My sisters Dad told me not long ago just how controversial it was him marrying my Mum and having two daughters together, even within our family, and how appallingly he was treated in the 70s, his parents even more so. Sorry, went off on a tangent myself there. Bed time for sure.

You wait until I start on the MMA thread! Just thought this place has been too serious recently (lighten up people) and I read this and pondered. The kids say they are part of your face. What do they bloody know? Next week: is soup a proper food? Also, they'll never be able to take away our dual win babe x

Good point, I'm not sure they would've been no. I just remember at the time it was well received and was handled well that's all.

This is a fantastic post. Bravo.

Adamski, or not Adamski. That is the question.

So the role has previously been played by a black man and no one kicked off.

Not a surprise at all.

I'm not sure, I always found Shakespeare boring. To your earlier point about the 2000s being the golden years if tolerance, I think you're sort of right. Look at Hayley in Corrie, which was (and I might be wrong) the first openly trans character in a major TV show, and by and large, one of the most positive (and positively received) portrayals of all time. We've gone massively backwards and it's all for bullshit reasons.

Sadly I think we all know the answer to this one.

But not Ruddless. I'm sorry!

Oh I dunno. The One Show would be vastly improved if someone called Jenas a cunt.

It's not lunch here nor do I want you to spend an hour on it.

How wonderful! When I was very young my aunt lived in Camberley, and to get there we had to pass Sootys house (of course humans lived there but it was primarily HIS house) There was the production truck parked out front, IIRC it was a black truck with pictures of Sooty all over it. Top fun, Sooty is an all time hero. Edit: this was it, in my head it was much bigger.

Happy birthday Dele.

They're not are they? God, this is a new low for off topic, apologies.

I dunno, it's so tight that it's not inconceivable that one further instance of dropped points makes all the difference. Sadly the Premier League haven't returned my calls about the replay of the Liverpool game. Don't even have to replay it really, they can just have the points

Still one of the best things ever.

Isn't it what is cast over a wrestling promotion when they hire an old noncey, sex offender?

Khan dreams of a POP undef. And look at Browser and Cloudflare "working" Absolute marks.
