I did a blog once for my last job about Christmas DVD box sets and entitled it "winter of our disc contents." You having that one or what?

And I never got to pitch my Richard III themed Go Outdoors ad: "Now is the winter of our discount tents..." I'll get my coat.

I grew up under Tory rule. It was shit. The Tories rule again. It's shit again. Who'd have thought.

The advert would be far better if it were just hidden-cam footage of Harvey Weinstein in a towel, bullying some crocodile tear-shedding young snake-with-tits into a handjob, while a transcript of the world of a woman thread’s most repetitive topics was read out in the most monotone voice on Planet Earth, for me Clive. The good old days, once we had an empire, etc.

It's upset a lot of people who often call other people 'snowflakes' so that's quite fun.

Would've been his birthday today, we could do with him around as well.

It's not wagging a finger in my face as I'm neither a bellend or a sex pest. Despite what some local graffiti might say.

He is a cunt, woeful pundit.

Sadio is the main Mane from the African EPL soccer cup to the British EPL and is known by the nickname of hot soccerlate. One of his best moves is a soccer punt where he threads the soccer ball through the eye of a peephole. This punt kick is better and more powerful than the best kick of a goat. His idea is to shoot, it's a useful idea and in the top 7 ideas you can have on a pitch. I predict he can score if he makes a very good plan built around this thought. He is a cool runner with his feet making little noise, this will surprise the opposition when they are unaware and especially when playing indoors. Good play Sadio.

Can't we start a GF crowdfund to get Hades laid? He needs some gold in his coast, some reef in his barrier, some Mrs in his mangle.

I'm free...

No you weren’t you were stirring shit. And Lovren’s reputation is warranted.

The best Iman can get

I’d be interested to see what taxes Gillette pay towards creating a more fair, equitable and safe environment for women.

Never heard of the cunt

Iggy Pop - Raw Power (Bowie mix) Right, rather than reviewing the album, which is solid 10/10 territory for me, I though I'd focus on the mix, which I was shamefully unaware of. Well the difference kicks in straight away, with Search and Destroy. Iggy's vocals lack a certain venom, he sounds younger, almost glam at times. I like the feeling, being akin to a live set, but there are moments where the levels seem to be fiddled with in what I can only say - to my humble ear - seems a less than organic manner. I miss the grunt in the Iggy mix, the over-emphasised dirtiness of the guitar. My biggest gripe is how the outro is treated though. We all know the opening lyrics are arguably the greatest ever, but for me the outro has always been equally as satisfying; they bookend one another, or at least they should. The howls are a fitting climax to the track, but Bowie curtails their effect by fading out rather than letting the energy itself subside as Iggy's wails come to their natural conclusion. I might actually prefer the Bowie mix of Gimme Danger. The vocals come to the fore, and I can hear more character in Iggy's voice when he's pushing that soulful vibe. Some of the guitar work sounds totally different too, and I like it. The slow fade out works better here. Pretty Face Is Going To Hell - Maybe it's in my mind now, but the different levels are playing with me now; it's like a live set where something just doesn't sit quite right to your ear. The high end of the guitar, when isolated, gives the aura of more traditional rock. Good, but not what I associate with The Stooges of that period. The somewhat more intimate nature to the mix means Penetration no longer sits as much of a juxtaposing track. On to Raw Power, and after going back and forth I'm not hearing as much difference here. Pretty hard to mess with this one, just keep the riff. The only thing I don't like about this track (in both mixes) is the plinking in the background, like a prisoner of war tapping on pipes to signal the next cell. The live-like delivery in I Need Somebody feels somehow slower, it's an even more laconic vibe, which I like. First track I think I prefer in this mix. Sadly with Shake Appeal I'm back to feeling like the levels are all over the place as the song progresses. It's as if someone's in the background saying "Yeah, but listen to this bit" and twiddling a nob. To compound this sense (which, I admit, could be entirely in my head at this point) Death Trip's opening "yeah yeah yeah!" should break through, instead it's veiled in a fog that dissipates before the song starts in earnest. This mix gets a still solid 7/10, as the underlying material is hard to dull the lustre of. However, I'm going back to the Iggy mix I never knew I'd been listening to for so long. Maybe it's acclimatisation, but everything in that one just sits perfectly with me, and has an organic quality, taking Iggy's delivery of snarl and soul and presenting against the staple of the guitars with due equilibrium. The lesson of the story is, don't fade Iggy in full flow.

He’s done well then, he had nothing 2 posts ago.

Having a piss

I did. I said “I hope some day not to be judged by the colour of my skin, but the content of my.....fry up”. I was hold a ‘NO BEANS’ sign at the time.

MP’d.

Not everyone wants to look like a Victorian Clergyman mate.

I also pitched one for KY Jelly, using Billy Ocean's "Love Really Hurts Without You"

Him having actually said it matters. Also, Lovren is shit and Mane isn't. That buys some favouritism from me.

I've reported this post.

Couldn’t care less, it’s an advert. Dont they make their women’s disposable razors more expensive as they are pink? Women love pink.

I feel like everyone's missing the bigger issue here - it doesn't rhyme any more. If an ad agency is reading this, I'd have gone with one of the following: "Gillette, don't call that woman pet" "Glette, your son fighting isn't Boba Fett" "Gillette, you bald faced leacherous get" I am available for work if you're hiring.

Ryan Babel has signed up for 6 months in West London's nightlife.

It makes me want to be more violent. Only towards Piers Morgan though. To be fair most things do. Breathing and suchlike.

We’re 4 points ahead. 16 games remaining, 9 at Anfield 7 away. For Man City it’s 7 at home and 9 away. We’ve got home games against Spurs and Chelsea and trips to Old Trafford and the Pit. So do Man City. Anything other than a league title will be utterly disappointing.

You're the best Arou-ound Stop acting like a cunt and you'll be sound

I don't give a fuck

Didn't realise you were in your late 70s Section, la.

I've got a lovely suede jacket I've worn all of about ten times. Chance of rain? Not worth the risk. Taking public transport? The seats might be filthy. Pub? Some clumsy sod might spill beer on it. Family outing? Young relatives will get sticky fingers on it. It's now an autumnal coat for guaranteed dry days when I won't have to sit on public seats whilst wearing it, and food and drink are not in close proximity.

We are all up to our eyes in debt and 2 or 3 wage packets from homelessness.

Keir Starmer for me.

Never go full Hades.

The Italian Super Cup is being played in Saudi Arabia... https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2019/01/14/italian-super-cup-to-be-played-against-backdrop-of-protests/38896273/

If you feel targeted by this ad, it probably means you’re an absolute cunt

The Evertonian Brexit?

I pitched one to Marks & Spencers, highlighting the breadth of their ranges of clothing, soft furnishings and food. Kecks and rugs and sausage roll - all your brain and body needs.

Fucking minging though mate, I've tried that.

We all liked the byzantine courtroom politics of earlier seasons but the time for all that has passed. Now is the time to just kick back and enjoy watching the ice dragon eating some Dothraki.

How are they supposed to avoid this, the entire premise of the show is the world is building to chaos and war ?? you can't keep building to nothing.

This is the payoff. It’d be like this even if Martin had finished his books, it’s always been building up to this.

Chip & PIN? Mr 2010 over here. Having said that, 'contactless' arse wiping possibly isn't the best idea.

Cool, I'll spend a tenner on a thousand tenners, then.

He would definitely pick Zangief.

Clearly you lot have never watched Terry Griffiths play. One frame he played was being shown in black and white and by the time the frame had finished, the picture was in colour.
