Why do they refer to him as 'Mr President' still?

I don't particularly want to torture Corpsey - he invited me to do a Top 100, which is the greatest act of kindness I've ever had on this godforsaken forum. For that alone, I will defend him against Zelensky's/Mr Tea's hordes of Remoaner Ukrainian nazi fuckpigs. But, if I was going to torture...

I never understood why Jack Lord's facing the aerial camera on the balcony as it hurtles towards him, but then he turns around for his close-up.

Don’t think anyone gives a shit. He’s well-known as a perverted cabbage who talks to rosebushes and wants to be reincarnated as a box of Tampax, so even royalists are a bit sniffy about him. Dunno whether the diehard Di fans have ever forgiven him either, but people are fickle...

This one, right?

I used to know this American who ran a 'news for seafarers' service - each day, he basically looked up 15-20 news stories online and wrote little 200-word summaries of each one, then emailed them to his office, which would send them out over satellite to any ships that had subscribed. He was...

Until COVID, I wangled a lot of overseas work trips, so have stayed at loads of hotels, from small Japanese joints to a ship in Hamburg to massive Singaporean skyscrapers with colour-changing LED-lit bars and enormous fountains between the elevators. There was one in Skagen where the room had a...

@Corpsey is letting me do one :)

He used to noisily masturbate, THUMP THUMP THUMP, in one of the toilet cubicles (once when I was 'next door' ☹️) - and yeah, he left cum behind on several occasions. Once a few people had heard him doing it, someone had the idea of printing an A4 sheet with I WILL STRIKE AGAIN...THE PHANTOM...

Used to work in an office haunted by 'The Phantom Wanker' - exposed, after a months-long reign of terror, as a small, quiet bloke who everyone called 'Penfold' (behind his back). Management protected him, for some reason - I got hauled into HR and told off for just mentioning 'The Phantom...

Esp in the case of this one from '84 - total Bug-style distortion when it gets going

Guess you know this? (dunno if it's what you had in mind) The Arrows' "Cycle-Delic" is like a fuzz tsunami, though my fave tune is probably the tearjerker "Satan"

Funny, isn’t it. You spend days before the teen party scrubbing your tongue, rehearsing your lines, cracking out the Daz and fantasising about finally talking to and impressing that girl in the Def Leppard T-shirt who’ll surely become the love of your life. Then, about an hour before the party...

Tell you one universe crossover I'd kill to read, if only I was a millionaire publisher and had the gift of necromancy: Chester Himes bringing Coffin Ed and Gravedigger Jones up against Jim Thompson's Nick Corey.

A few examples in gothic literature and penny dreadfuls. There's a bit in Matthew Lewis' "The Monk" where The Wandering Jew makes a guest appearance. And then, the villian in "The Monk" comes back to possess a London widower in Dion Fortune's "The Goat Foot God". Think Mick Norman's "Angels...

You get this really weird feeling when you're passionately arguing with your CEO, "Look, I work better at home...I'm way more productive than when I'm in the office, I get SO MUCH MORE done here..." - but deep-down you know you've been bragging to Dissensus about spending your working day...

For GIN is the deity, and INTEMPERANCE is the hand-maiden, of both sexes and nearly all ages in that district of London. What crimes, what follies have been perpetrated for Gin! A river of alcohol rolls through the land, sweeping away health, honour, and happiness with its remorseless tide. The...

Try voodoo, worked for me.

Don’t wear trainers with a suit, you’ll look like you never got over the Kaiser Chiefs. If you want to wear a T-shirt with a suit, study old pics of The Specials carefully and copy them verbatim. *runs around wanking like a chimp* Seldom do so, but I did wear one to a funeral once and it...

I downloaded it, thanks for the tip.
