Sure, if you want to perform the rusty trombone on a guy t'is your choice. Always remember to empty the spit valve once you're done though.

Haha,

I've never seen that before. I thought it was going to be Frankie Boyle doing a spit valve joke and you were mocking me.

It wasn't. It was much funnier than that.

I liked Frankie Boyle before he blocked me on twitter for criticising him. I cannot believe how much of a thin skin he has considering his type of humour. He was certainly very good on Mock the Week.

Ok, annoting me: As mentioned in car thread, I was due to get new rear brakes and set of tyres on car. Got to tyre fitters about 3:30. Was told as soon as they had wheels off I needed brake discs as well as pads (I had feared this) - an extra £80, bit of a kick in the clankers, but ok chaps go ahead. So they then start taking my brakes apart, only to find that one of my rear calipers is shot and needs replacing, but of course they can't get that part till mid morning tomorrow. They say with a smile on their faces "Sorry mate, this car's going nowhere tonight". Which is great, when I'm nearly 100 miles from home, not like I can ring the missus to come pick me up!!

So, need to get taxi back into town and book a hotel. Travelodge are shit, but a room is only £38 (which given the car is now gonna be £700 seemed the best bet). So, going through booking that room online and before booking finished the website crashed, but by this point the taxi wasn't far away, so fecked it off and went into hotel. "Sorry sir, we're now fully booked for tonight". Damn. Oh well, brief walk up the road and book in at Premier Inn instead. £61, but a way better hotel.

Get up to my room. 'bing' email comes through from travelodge - booking confirmed...! For fecks sake. So, as it stands I'm currently booked into TWO hotels! Of course, I went back to Travelodge to cancel room - "Sorry sir, can't do that hear, you need to contact customer services - who you can't ring you have to contact via website. Website says 'this feature available between 9-7 m-f, please try again within those times. What? it IS between those times. Website sending me round and round in circles.

So, i'm now back at work trying to sort all this out. What a fecked up experience. Not a happy bunny.

Yeah he was definitely one of the best regulars on the old mock the week.

He was amazing on Mock the Week, really not a fan of any of his other work though. His stand up is very hit and miss, and Tramadol Nights was just awful.

Not in my opinion, I don't enjoy reading that. Nor anything in that awful excuse for a paper. I'd say it's only good for toilet roll, but I wouldn't insult my arse by putting The Sun anywhere near it.

Quite. I find people who are from and/or live in the North are much more likely to boycott the Sun cos of the Hillsborough thing. I noticed Dave apologised for linking to it on Twitter the other day.

Hillsborough is one of just countless numbers of reasons to boycott The Sun and News International, as Leveson showed. Speaking of which, I am looking forward to the publication of the report today.

Sorry to hear of your woes Tim, that's very shit - hope you get it sorted.

Thanks Toph. By sorted, I enjoyed a steak and a pint and had a relaxing night in a hotel on my own watching TBBT. On the down side, hotel costs included into the car repairs, it'll now hit approx £800 and i'm sat here wearing exactly what I wore yesterday, pants, socks n all, which is less good.

I did leave my alarm set for my usual time though, so minus my long drive in, I've now been at work for nearly 5 hours already - every little helps.

But the Page 3 model is one of countless reasons to buy it.

No - page 3 is one of the reasons to avoid it still. If you want to buy pictures of topless ladies, buy it somewhere else, don't support it being put in front of kids.

There are not 'countless' reasons to buy it - in fact I would venture that there isn't a single reason to buy it.

I'm sure Jenny, 21 from Manchester would highly disagree.

I know you are just trying to get a rise out of me and it's basically worked, but... even when you take kids out of the equation (and by the way - even if they do just think they look funny, it's still normalising the sexual objectification of women before they are old enough to understand that it's wrong), even if printing boobs in a so-called 'family' publication were OK, that does not automatically right the countless people they have wronged over the years.

Imagine being stuck in a lift with Topher. That's hell on Earth right there. His views are one step away from being that of a Victorian housewife. "SHE HAS HER ANKLE SHOWING! CALL THE POLICE, SEND FOR THE MAYOR".
