The BBC was incredibly biased (towards the Union) during the Scottish Independence référendum of 2014.

Late 80s. My brother and I are in our bedroom where we’re lucky enough to have been gifted our gran’s old TV after she got a new one.

That’s what he would likely say, but he is, as his poems make clear, clearly up his own arse.

My girlfriend and I also watched it post-Breaking Bad and Better Caul Saul. I loved it, but she didn’t. It is a lot slower than BB and Sons of Anarchy and the like but I still tfound it watchable, and gripping for the most part. It just takes a while to get going. 

That was perhaps the first signpost that things were going in a bad direction

I just finished reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnet, which was published in 1911. Hated the first chapter or so and found the colonial British racism of the time a tad unpleasant, but I eventually ended up enjoying the story. It paints a none too realistic picture of poverty and focusses on two very…

What the hell? ‘Best’... Beast Wars? Wash your mouth out! G1 all the way!

Speaking of semantics, what Mr P (brain) hasn’t realised is that THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR means that he has some media awards to announce, but they themselves are corrupt and dishonest, the most dishonest of the year, no less. Sure, he probably means some awards for corrupt media, but when…

“Trump seems such a waste of wealth”.

Glad you brought this up. Can you do Morrissey next please? These pricks get a pass on racism but they’re no better than Trump just ‘cos they can write a song.

I, for one, hope Franco comes away from this unscathed. It would be a tragedy for the world to be deprived of more of his wonderful poetry.

Ahhh... Mark Wahlberg. That a permanently confused facial expression with the charisma of a paper bag can make it in Hollywood is so inspiring to untalented folk everywhere.

Much like 45.

“I have no idea why anyone would compare the Trump and Nixon administrations...”

So all’s well that ends well. Just hope he wraps up warmly before he gets here, ‘cos Scotland’s bloody cold just now.

Thanks, and lang may yer lum reek.

It seems Ringo worked out the secret to getting a knighthood (which is: getting old and not dying). Bravo. Now, can we make a start on becoming a republic?

After My Two Dads, surely?

Nope. She was 17 and went to Dollar Academy which is a (private) high school, not a college. It was reported by multiple outlets, such as the Scottish Daily Record (admittedly, a rag of poor repute, but the highest selling tabloid in Scotland).

While Meghan seems like a nice person, this kind of thing is what should be getting the publicity that will be obscured by the positive feeling she and Harry will generate. The royals are parasites and I wish we could get rid of them.
