Not long ago I got back from the shops to find the wife playing the Beatles’ ‘White Album’. Again. This double album from the Fabs has been a source of amiable disagreement between us for years. She thinks it’s absolutely ace. I don’t.

Now let me say that my admiration for the Beatles is enormous. In that short period from 1963 to 1967, their influence, not just on music but on society and popular culture, was profound, and still resonates to this day. I think it no exaggeration to say that at their zenith, they were the four most famous people on the planet.

Unfortunately by 68, I reckon that the wheels were starting to come off the wagon for a variety of reasons (oh no, it’s Ono!). The breakup was underway, and it showed in the music, and no more so than on the ‘White Album’. There’s still the odd wonderful song; I’m thinking ‘Dear Prudence’, ‘Julia’, ‘Blackbird’. But there’s just too much stuff that by their standard, was plain poor. There’s too much second rate Lennon and Harrison, and McCartney was becoming increasingly irritating with naff nonsense like ‘Ob-la-di’, ‘Do It In the Road’ and the horrible ‘Honey Pie/Wild Honey Pie’. As for the likes of ‘Don’t Pass Me By’ and ‘Revolution 9’, well let’s not go there.

Nope, for me the writing was on the wall with the ‘White Album’. Sadly, it’s really simply not much cop. I think that George Martin was bang on when he said that they should have taken the best of the selection and put it out as a single album. It would have stood up so much better for my money.

There would be still be one last great hurrah in the form of ‘Abbey Road’, but that indefinable spark of greatness was dimming, and it’s very evident with the ‘White Album’. I’ll always love the Beatles. They brought joy into the life of a kid growing up in a miserable, bombed-out inner city slum in Birmingham, and I’ll always be listening to them. Just not to the ‘White Album’. It always makes me feel sad somehow.

Nominated by Ron Knee.

Anybody remember her then? For those of you struggling to put a face to the name, let me remind you. She’s one of those incredibly limited child performers who gained fame and fortune by having the amazing luck to be cast in the blockbuster ‘Harry Potter’ films.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, she’s let it all go to her (admittedly cute) little head, and like so many others, believes her bit of ‘celebrity’ entitles her to spout her views about the place, because we actually value her opinion.

She’s got her panties in a big twist with regards to the trans issue has little Emma. Cunters will of course be familiar with the recent Supreme Court ruling to the effect that the term ‘woman’ refers (stands back in amazement) to biological women only. Ergo, logically there will now be no cocks in frocks in women’s wards, prisons, changing rooms, toilets and sports competitions.

I’m convinced that as far as about 98% of the public is concerned, this ruling represents nothing more than the application of sheer common sense. Not our Em though, oh no. She apparently thinks the ruling means that the Blackshirts are on the march. ‘I like me best when I’m not ignoring fascism’ twitters the airhead . Yep, if you’re one of the level-headed vast majority, you’re a fascist. Just like the members of the Supreme Court. It’s the ultimate accolade that the left wokerati can hurl at anyone deemed not ‘progressive’ according to their thinking

Oh do pipe down and do yourself and the rest of us a favour. Just stick to the day job, even if you can’t actually do that with any degree of ability or with any degree of acclaim. In short, put a sock in it pipsqueak.

Daily Fail.

Charles, stage name “Fr Ddgr” is a fare dodging cunt although I have to admire his dedication to the fare dodging cause by being caught with no ticket in his way to court.

I have nothing against the odd deliberate free trip every now and then, we all deserve it given the ridiculous prices and shocking service

But if we all refused to pay all the time there would soon be no public transport, then how would we get home from the pub?!

But Mr. Brohiri, Takes the piss a bit.

Here’s a little scenario for cunters to ponder.

Someone gets up in front of a group of people and shouts ‘the only good P@ki is a dead P@ki. Kill a P@ki’. What do you think would happen? Well I’ll hazard a guess. The individual would immediately be branded a far right extremist, and would be marched off to spend some time in the clink. It’s an open incitement to violence and murder, isn’t it?

Now consider the case of Irish rap trio Kneecap (no, me neither until a couple of days ago). A video has surfaced where a member of the group seemingly yells at their audience ‘the only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP’. They’re also reported to be vocal in their support for Hamas and Hezbollah, which are proscribed organisations in the UK.

Well they do say that there’s no substitute for class, and by the sound of it, this lot are certainly no substitute. You have to wonder what prompts them to act the cunt in this way. Perhaps they think it makes them look edgy and radical. Perhaps they think that it’s somehow good publicity, and will sell records. Perhaps they think they’re funny or clever.

I don’t know, but if you want to court controversy, don’t be surprised if it threatens to turn around and bite you on the arse. It’s been confirmed that in response to their twattishness, they will now face an investigation by the Met’s counter terrorism police, whose action has been praised by the daughter of murdered MP David Amess.

So will this braindead trio get their collars properly felt, or are we in for another episode of two tier policing in TwoTierKeirland? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, I’d like to add my own personal invitation to these cunts to piss off over there and die. Quietly.

Or, Chinkies (Infiltrating Snooker)

It was only a matter of time, wasn`t it cunters?

Slowly, but surely, the `Yellow Peril` infiltrating itself into the game that used to be played only by gentleman and God. *

Yes, a record number of them have qualified to play in the World Championship this year, and it`ll only increase year on year.

Now, I have nothing really against this untrustworthy diaspora of yellow ballers, but the thing is, your average Chink does not actually possess any natural talent or humiliation/respect for the game.

It`s the same with classical music; sure they can play all the right notes (in the right order), but behind those slitty shark eyes there is … well, nothing. A total vacuum of soul or emotion. Just the desire to be technically excellent. A machine. So fucking what? And then what next?

The game used to be so full of genuine joyous characters:

■ Ray (The Green Baize Vampire) Reardon.
■ Terry (I`m Welsh, Isn`t It) Griffiths.
■ Cliff (The `Grinder`) Thorburn.
■ Steve (Not Actually Interesting At All Twat) Davis.
■ Alex (Cocaine-fuelled, Hurricane) Higgins.

And of course, who could forget lager [sic] than life `Big` Bill Werbeniuk who famously drank 42 pints in one match, split his trousers on TV and lost all his money …

Big Bill.

… in the days when the game was sponsored by massive tobacco companies and all the players got free cartons of fags chain-smoking maybe 80-100 per session. Whether they smoked or not.
🚬

And while we`re on it, what about our more swarthy brethren? Well, ex-pro black African Rory McLeod said “Snooker has done nothing for black people” …

Black Balls.

Ah, right – so once again it`s all our fault for not helping poor Sooty attain fame and fortune. So, how about going down to the local snooker hall, potting a few balls and practise honing your talent? Instead of listening to jungle sounds, pimping and flogging class-A drugs to your fellow lazy-arsed slobs of wasted DNA?

The times, cunters, are a-changing. For the fucking worst.

* However, there is billiards which is still played by gentlemen. And God.

Oh, and pool for our more simple colonial friends.
