Love the Burroughs song. In a very similar vein (pun intended), Will Self collaborated with Bomb the Bass for this track where he explains the difficulties he has extracting morphine from soluble kaolin that he buys from various chemists and the effect that it has on his arms. Apparently it...

Love the old school 70s cultural references (Harty would be proud) however you've picked two bad examples there. Pam Ayres is a Tory and although she has been silent on the subject, her husband has been very vocal in support of Brexit on Twitter. And the Krankies are big supporters of the Act...

Blimey! Sorry about that. It's been a long day.

Replace David Davis with someone who knows what they're doing and get the EU to replace Barnier with someone who isn't just using this as a way of becoming EU president. Job done.

Maybe I'm doing him a disservice but it does look an awful lot like it to me. It's also coincided with an appallingly bad and lazy string of covers albums. Nick Cave went through a similar phase, the nadir being that God awful moustache that he grew.

Saying that I don't much care for the FA. They went for the money and lost their soul and are a large part of the problem of modern football. The creation of the Premier League was hugely detrimental to the rest of English football and devalued the Football League. And for me even worse, they...

A union is effectively a private company isn't it? Just not limited by shares but by guarantee. A £350m turnover private company would pay their chief exec the same levels of pay as those working for a public listed company. Unite, the biggest union has a £170m turnover and their chief exec...

It never fails to surprise me that people are surprised at how much the top execs earn. A Tesco store manager can earn £150k a year nowadays. The top guys in the very largest organisations are all paid in the millions. The FA income was £350m which is a little bit higher than the average...

Gonna have to pick you up on this one. The Miley Cyrus / Flaming Lips collaboration isn't so unusual when you realise that it coincides with Wayne Coyne's mid-life crisis and it's made him a very pervy old man. He seems obsessed with getting people (especially women) naked. There was a gig that...

Even Chuck Norris is afraid to call out Chris Hughton's name.

Here's an absolutely brilliant pairing: Billy Mackenzie, lead singer of 80s indie darlings The Associates and electro-rockers Apollo 440. It comes from the Apollo 440 album "Electro Glide In Blue" which is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest albums of all time. There's not a single track...

Spot on.

It's amazing isn't it, with the millions of games of football that have been played that we still get scenarios where the law is under debate because it's a novel occurrence. Even the answer I posted yesterday seems to have sparked debate. Just to clarify, I never asked the ref. It's a copy and...

Just my opinion but I think that one charity in particular that is very left-wing, War On Want, is giving the rest a bad name by association. For years I assumed it was another relief agency like Oxfam, ActionAid et al. probably because of the name and its 'fighting poverty' tagline. I can't be...

This has been bugging the hell out of me so I did a bit of googling and it is difficult to find anything on it but I did find this. It's from a US site but even so, it's still a FIFA registered ref who is giving the reply. He reckons that the ref has given advantage to a player who then chooses...

I think this could be a good thing all round. I say that only because Theresa May has said that the aid budget will not be reduced so it's up to the NGOs to get their houses in order - and most of them have. Whilst there's a lot of cynicism from outside, I honestly don't think the same is true...

Just checked. It was against Newport in August 2013.

I think this is partly because some NGOs have gained the reputation for haranguing and guilt-tripping and at a time when a lot of Western nations are taking their commitment to international development aid extremely seriously. Consequently, they then take on the appearance, less of a charity...

And as further proof of this very solid argument I'll add that Fran Sandaza was a huge success up there. Scottish football. Not a sport. 849167334698881024

i know it's a parody Twitter account but this really is the only solution for Oxfam. Their credibility hinges upon doing precisely this: 962660829601640449
