LET'S NOT PLAY FRISBEE WITH THAT POET ANYMORE. [This is a comic strip, with a poem laid over it. On each panel a new line of the poem is written. The scene is a park, in the summer. A man in a trenchcoat - implicitly Philip Larkin - stands folorn, motionless, looking at people throwing a frisbee. It becomes apparent as the comic progresses that they are trying to play frisbee with him. He stand stock still for the whole comic, watching the frisbee as, panel by panel it soars closer and closer to him]. After contemplating the approaching frisbee for two silent panels, Philip begins his thoughts: Unloosed, unheralded, You soar toward me Across the dying afternoon. bright disc of childhood, Long since thrown wide Of Youth's green imaginings, Your slow declining arc Figures a sky-written truth: We will all succumb, and soon To earth's hard oblivion. [The frisbee hits Philip on the head with a resounding DONK. He falls backwards, to the ground. [Ends]

Hey Lovable, write a defence for copyright infringement after you ripped off the data from a private company that had done all the research that you used to populate the app of dog friendly pubs.

I would love to see them tackle Sting of Death, the 1966 monster movie about a humanoid jellyfish that includes the earworm of a musical number: "Do the Jellyfish."

It's vintage, it's out there, and it would make perfect riffing fodder.

I couldn't appear on the Laura Kuenssberg show as I'm in the US doing important work for my Clacton constituents, who want me to undermine the UK by sucking up to an unhinged authoritarian pedo.

Fred stuck with them, right up until that bizarre gardening accident.

The Nephs used to affect a dusty, road-worn look, which some attributed to liberal applications of self-raising.
