At his time with BHA he was a young man, an overnight minor celeb, with money in his pocket, a lot of spare time, and an entourage of hangers-on. He liked a drink and he liked to party. He had the time, the money, and the inclination, and (crucially) also lacked the maturity and discipline a...
Yeah, I guessed it was some kind of media moniker.
When he starts saying the safest place to be in a flood is on a boat - "we learned that from Noah. Everybody that stayed on land drowned". Kinell.
It never ceases to amaze me how a fictional book about a sky fairy from 2,000 years ago still...
Yeah, that was the guy (didn't know the name though).
I wish it could be amusing in some way, but its really not. Someone there needs to make him see sense, or this could well be the death of him. I'm sure all the news crews will have a safe place to go. I hope they can give him that option.
I fear his boat will be reduced to matchwood, and its not like he can do anything about it just by him being there. I truly, truly hope he comes to his senses and gets out of Dodge, even if its just to higher ground somewhere.
Cat 3 means winds "dropping" to around 120mph, with gusts of up to 150mph.
They just interviewed the mayor of Clearwater on Newsnight. He stated that the emergency services will NOT be responding to callout requests whilst the winds are at a consistent 50mph+. Which petty much looks like a...
She's probably blaming the hurricanes on those pesky Jewish space lasers.
Meantime in the wake of Helene, Trump is still busily spreading bullshit saying that billions of emergency funds for hurricane victims are being spent on housing for illegal immigrants (they're not), disaster victims are...
The 4-0 last year against West Ham was fun. We were so, so good.
"I got a yellow late on, I could've got another one and I never want to feel like that on a football pitch. Credit to Brighton, they played us off the pitch. I know it's cliched to stand here and say it's not good enough but on...
I succumbed to a steak & ale pie yesterday. Only to return it immediately, because it was STONE COLD. Yes, I barged to the front of the queue to get a (warm) replacement.
Why is there never any SALT anywhere ? It's not much to ask is it.
Sake.
Death Dealer - the memoirs of Rudolph Hoss, the SS Kommandant of Auschwitz, which he wrote whilst awaiting his trial at Nuremberg.
Grim but fascinating.
I had a similar experience once at that all-you-can-eat chinese buffet West Street (I think its gone now). I too am a fan of the crispy duck with pancakes and hoi-sin sauce - as was, it seems, almost the entire restaurant.
When I got there, the duck tub (for want of a better word) was empty...
