BT, just tell them that you have Tourettes, ADHD, OCD, ACDC or anything else they pepper us all with these days and that this has affected your mental health so much that you are thinking of self harming. What a bloody country we live in now. Fecked doesn't even come anywhere near it.

Two bobbies in full regalia, mobile phones on display, full arresting kit resplendent, 8 am on a very boracic morning , ringing the door bell, I honestly thought someone had died.

I asked them if they had nothing better to do? Blanked.

I presume you got to your door sharpish mon ami, otherwise they might have kicked it in. Or am I being unfair, and our wonderful police wouldn't dream of kicking a door in to investigate something so utterly trivial.

We have a back door with a stable door style, I opened the top part of the door saw two Bizzies looking all earnest and thought "F*uck Me who's dead?""

We are when a few chums on here can't have a private discourse about the merits or otherwise of Garth Crook's ability to talk about football matters Alfie.

It really is scary Alfie, many years ago I read 1984 and thought, nah, it's fiction, not real life, couldn't happen my lifetime, then I watched the repression in East Germany, Mao's China, the USSR and dismissed them as authoritarian, Lefty regimes, nothing to do with me, nothing to do with good old Blighty, an Englishman's home is his castle and all that.

It's here now though innit, and when Labour get into power next year it will rapidly get much worse. We ain't seen nothing yet.

Two bizzies on £37k a year, a police vehicle to come to Bolton, reports to be made; the taxpayer has probably just been chucked a bill for a grand just because a silly old fool takes exception to an eejit who "works" for the BBC.

Here is the answer

An old mate of mine who is a mad Stoke fan says the unfortunate description I opined may well be right.

Black = definitely.

B@stard = probably.

Apparently the BBC footy "analysist" was born in the Potteries and well I will be better to leave the rest to higher intellects than mine.

Netanyahu says he has been "unsuccessful in limiting civilian deaths".

The solution is simple STOP BOMBING THEM.

Bibi's constant bombing of defenceless kids is not really working though is it mon ami? The Israel Defence Forces calculate they have killed between 1,000 and 2,000 Hamas fighters in the assault on Gaza. That is only a small part of its estimated total of 30,000 fighters, and a tiny number set against the dreadful Palestinian death toll of around 15,000, almost half of them children. The IDF are the real genocidal thugs and monsters.
