Horlicks. Steeplechasing. John McCririck. Andy Peters.

I love Helen Mirren.

I do too, back in the day. But there's something so smug about that lot ever since they realised how much Hollywood loves them.

Jet from Gladiators. Billie Piper.

sickest and insane sonics. noone likes being a gangsta (even a mock one) in the states. it's like how every rap album has to have at least one motivational song. it's like when allah scoulded adam for eating from the tree of knowledge, that's seen as cool abroad, whereas in the UK we want the whole tree.

this is also why we'll always fail at knock off kendrickisms. not because the US doesn't want it - arguably it wants it more than us, but because it's not built into the british psyche. we've all threatened to stab everything and anything that moves, talks, walks and fucks.

This doesn't really fit but I have to share it - that dem 2 photo made me think of the haircut ed rush got in his later years when he was no longer a bald Nosferatu lookalike. So I looked up some photos and both these are brilliant

How about the American rappers holidaying in Miami and the British MCs holidaying in Ayia Napa.
