Offies to stand by a nation in crisis.  We salute you.

tl;dr - 6 Music have dropped Liz Kershaw's show and filled the gap by extending Huey Morgan and Giles Peterson's shows.

Almost worth a pandemic tbh.

Or glass bottles.  Be prepared for anything!

Uber Eats has agreed to deliver the fish and bread.

The crucifixion will have to take place behind closed doors this time but it will be televised on Sky Sports 3.

Tony Bennett's Facebook updates now that he's just hanging round the house:

I removed all the cardboard from my spare room, packed the wardrobe properly and shoved the bed up against the wall so I now have a study for me to work in, like I should've done when I moved in 2 years ago.

I appear to have lost a gamecube and my n64 controllers though.

Blimey. I didn't realise Tony Bennett was still alive. He looks substantially different in that photo. Like he's channelling Brucie to prolong his life.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

My local one Beer Ritz (geddit) is fucking shut. Wankers for not risking their lives to flog ales to alkies.

Is that Big Ben thing a novelty milk jug?  or a tourist themed biscuit packet?  Confusing picture.

More kitchen judgement: copper things on the wall are acceptable, so long as you actually use them.  What is that metal drum on the floor though?  A bin??

Artwork done by a family member (probably) - nice.  And the phone - I remember them graaaandaaad.  Who remembers phones with twizzly cords?  They were fun to play with while you listened to boring relatives weren't they?  And buttons?  Who remembers dialling numbers using our fingers?

Probably shouldn't pile books on top of a pizza oven (if that's what that is).  Hope you remove them while it is in use.

Popcorn looks nice.  And the yellow walls look cheerful.  overall, 8/10 nice effort.

I assumed it was one of those boxes that has about five teabags which retails for about £20 in airport branches of WH Smith.

I think the whole thing's unspeakably horrendous if we're doing aesthetics here.  From the crockery, floor tiles and tablecloth, I'd say it's in the South of France or maybe Spain or he spends a lot of time there.  The copper things are vile, as is the paint, furniture and everything else.  My eyes are wounded.

Whenever anybody posts a photo from their house, I scan the background for dildos. Not seen one yet but you never know.

It's not on the floor it's on the bottom shelf of that trolly table thing. I reckon it's a large cooking pot.

So many cupboards and cylinders for them to be hidden in though.

We really need technology to advance to a point where we can find the unknown dildos. 

Pay the self employed in August instead, we need this now.

Ha my brothers back at home for a bit and I've had quite a few messages the last week asking where the hell the gamecube and n64 stuff is. Fucked if i know , I'm in Dublin, though I'll dead jealous when he does find it.


As for good news BBC 2 are going to be showing a classic comedy every afternoon from Monday the 6th (school for scoundrels) the rest of that week it's a bunch of ealing comedies so anyone who enjoys them and hasn't seen them in HD now's your chance

Sebastian Cobb

I've got a (softmodded) wii so the gamecube loss isn't major, still annoying though.

The N64 one is even more annoying. I only own that because a housemate owned one already with knackered controllers and I spotted an N64 with mint controllers in the BHF shop for £7.

If you're suggesting he paid money for it, that's a bit disappointing - it really wasn't worth it.  But it's a reasonable effort for an amateur (esp <16 or >75).  He only has a little novelty tea caddy as he usually drinks coffee, as you can see from the machine.

What a lot of kitchen snobs, it's nicer than any kitchen I've ever had.

Somebody has finally painted over HELCH's desecration of the classic GIVE PEAS A CHANCE graffito:



Hope HELCH is coughing his ringpiece up as we speak.
