“Nursery graduations”.

What the ****ing ****ity **** are those?

And their ****ing function?

The world’s gone nuts.

My wee one "graduates" from nursery this year. Couldn't give a **** about a graduation ceremony but not worth the effort in my house. They gave the wee one a robe to take home for pictures and she refused to wear it.

That GB News (GBeebies) looks like Scanners.

The boy Oliver talking about how people feel they can't express themselves, nobody wants to listen to them. How does that work when they've TV channels, newspapers, social media outlets and a Tory government?

Neil Oliver has to be the biggest fanny in Scotland. Not bad for someone that’s 3ft 6

Are we all going to agree on something?

I’ve never seen any more than 30 seconds of anything he’s ever done.
Which is a shame because I often am attracted to the subject matter / title, but when I see it’s him I immediately switch off.

His creepness is overpowering.

He looks like one of those over-stylised warrior extras from Braveheart. Throwing his lot in with those media reactionaries deserves contempt.

Neil Oliver.....is that the long haired documentary boy?
He always comes across in the "if he was chocolate he'd eat himself" bracket.

Beyond that I ken little about the boy.

I knew a few of his contemporaries from University and going by them your assessment is spot on.

I know a boy a Tesco who did his deliveries every week. Christmas time he got a tip. A signed copy of his book.

Got an ISBN for that? I used to be a message loon and would welcome a look at others' anecdotes.

Mine are dull, apart from the time I skidded on rough gravel at the top of Land Street and broke half a dozen eggs.

I could tell the tale of a couple of shop assistants who discovered the shop's secret stash of Durex, and described, at piece-time how they were deploying them, but I don't have the pics to allow rule-fulfilment.
