I could cheerfully smash his smug, 'It must be funny because I said it' face in.

Agreed on both KP and RG. The first time I saw or heard both of them it was funny. Maybe the 2nd time too but f**k me it's the same old shite everytime.

Flu is a this time of year thing
now I’m 61 I’m on my second flu jab
I also eat 3-5 mini oranges a day for vitamin c ,a multi vitamin tablet and cod liver oil max strength to try n boost my immune system
A few glasses of port occ fortified with a shot of brandy to help me sleep - purely medicinal
Max strength cold n flu capsules merely delayed the symptoms,although lemsip with honey in was nice
Keep the diary going Tom please it’s a great read
Although we could do with an index to the top ten stories
Ratner the terrier story is my favourite btw
Thanks for them all though
Happy new year when it arrives

You're the same age as me Tony.

I was going great guns, then I turned 60 and things started to hurt and several bits stopped working altogether.

I wish my diary had an index too. I was looking for a piece that I wrote about my dad and I couldn't find it.

Please keep your contributions coming. You and I are from the same era and obviously moved in similar circles.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the future.

Sorry for butting in Red but did you write the piece on your dad in the lounge? I seem to remember you did when he passed.

Happy Christmas Tom, it has been a great honour taking this journey with you.

All the best to you and your family

Merry Christmas to you and yours Andrew.

Can I just take a moment to say what a good friend you've been over the years. Thank you.


I've always enjoyed being in your company. I think it's because you make me look slim.

I still think that was one of the most enjoyable tables I’ve ever played poker on. Thanks for the kind words, I think

Have you ever thought about starting your own YouTube channel? You could be the next big influencer.

Agreed , i really enjoy your reviews.

Drives me crazy that people can't properly refute the nonsense that talking about the price for drugs in a trade deal is equivalent to putting up the NHS for sale

Just ask anyone banging on about the NHS for sale in trade talks if they would stop sourcing any American made drugs ? Ask them how cheap the generic drugs made in America, and bought by us, actually are. It would be ridiculous not to include drugs in trade talks

Literally makes me froth

Totally this and anyone who thinks otherwise must be as blind as Corbyn.

Rare footage of Celtic without food.

Has anyone ever seen Celtic Ainsley Harriott in the same room?

No but I suspect Vinnie ate him

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.
Went out, had a few drinks, nice guy. He’s a web designer

Reds post on the TTPYO thread got me remembering that on a visit to the cinema my then 4 year old son asked for some cock porn from the young blushing lady who served us.

I was already pre-irritated by oven baked loves and pan fried steak, so when I saw this it sent me over the edge.

So do they pop the corns just by warmth of hand?

My old man loves that.

I can't help but think it would be odd watching Jim Halpert trying to save the world

The first series took some getting used to but more natural with the second.

Jack Ryan series 2 now available on Prime. Even better than the first series. Some nice nods to Clear and Present Danger.

Jack Ryan is a series?

Yes on Amazon prime
