Andy Dawson's a touchy prick, isn't he?

[Two Headed Sex Beast]

TFTM have released plenty, so they're probably just having another break.
Pretty sure they couldn't keep their Patreon going if they'd stopped for good.

Bob did mention in one of the recent episodes that he was finding it hard to get anything productive done in lockdown, so that might be one reason to take a break

Done.

Get donating boys and girls.

[Blue Jam]

Done here too, I should add. I loathe the way the Mail do these hatchet jobs on anyone they deem too "uppity" and powerless enough to not sue them and I hope someone finally gets to strike back at the shoe expert Bride of Pob and their ilk.

According to the Mirror, Andy accepted a police caution three weeks ago. So, I'd imagine they're just giving it a month or two.

I hope he had legal advice. He's a wanker, but too many people accept cautions thinking it will make everything go away, rather than being a conviction. Still, he's unlikely to be applying for any actual jobs I suppose.

No Mince throughout July.

Sad times.

Where'd you hear that?

Email this morning:

Hello...
...just a quick update to let you know that as there'll be no new stuff from us in July, you won't be charged the monthly Parsnips subscription (there was no charge in June either).

Hope you're all safe and well! 

Thanks,

Bob & Andy

[Jittlebags]

Hope you're all safe and well!

That's nice innit Andy?

Aw, that sucks. What's the longest break they've had before this? I hope it comes back.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Two month break between December 2016 and February 2017.
Two month break between February and April 2017.
Two month break between May and July 2017.
Three month break between September and December 2017.
Two month break between December 2019 and February 2020.

It'll be back, I'm sure.

[DrGreggles]

The Patreon pause, rather than cancellation, suggests that it'll be back.
There's every chance that they had already planned to take June and July off anyway, as they've never warned of the previous long breaks.

Yeah, it's just something they do from time to time.

Steve Mc Laren and Casper heading for Dundee. That ensures it'll be back. All that tartan laminate flooring.

And speaking of which. Is this twat related ? https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mclaren-4744b436

Ah thanks, that makes me feel better about it. I only started listening to AM in 2019 (and plowed through them all in 2 and a half months), so wasn't really aware of previous hiatuses.

Bob is back on Twitter. So mince will be returning I'd say.

[MikkiDisco]

Athletico Mince for me shows just how funny a man Bob Mortimer is more than anything else he's done. It's one thing to be funny alongside Vic Reeves or Paul Whitehouse, but to have a show that is as hilarious as Mince despite one half of the act being painfully unfunny the majority of the time* is impressive as fuck.

* I do like the Corbyn bits.

Detest the Corbyn bits, but the one where he brought in Billy Bragg was surprisingly funny to my ears

[Blue Jam]

Really don't get all the anger at Andy Dawson, I think he's alright. Had a couple of pleasant exchanges with him on Twitter before the Shoe-Loving Bride of Pob chased him off.

[sutin]

I didn't listen to Athletico Mince for years because of Dawson's involvement. I hated 'Get In The Sea', 'Diana In Heaven' and his general Twitter persona. I'm still baffled by why Bob saw him on Twitter and thought him a good person to work on comedy with, but it gives hope to us all I suppose.

[sutin]

The only thing that I remember enjoying of his on Mince was the first 'Fox In My Kitchen' song. The Corbyn bits are beyond shite.

[PlanktonSideburns]

fox in my kitchen was ace

Oh, he's the one who did that? He'll probably still be lurking in here won't he?

Get in grave is just so much better - it's alliterative, it has a better rhythm, the lack of "the" makes it sound harsher yet more absurd, and the hard G and V sounds just sound better in insults than sybillant S and floaty EE. Pshaw.

[sutin]

What is 'get in grave'?

[Mister Six]

ANDY DAWSON IDENTIFIED.

[Mister Six]

Seriously though, "Get in grave" is "Get in the sea", except it emerged on here before Dawson started doing "Get in the sea". That said, I'm sure the similarity between these functionally and structurally identical memes is a TOTAL COINCIDENCE.
