Man With Large Hat

A very efficient transfer of wealth from the stupid to the grifters. As Jim Royle might have said "store of value my arse."

Could you give me the what three words location for this please? I'd quite like not to have to hop to work on Monday. Many thanks.

We walk our Labrador with two others (sisters) who live nearby. And I can assure you all three have very different characters.

The most astonishing place I've ever been. Every time 'city breaks' come up in conversation I beg everyone to go. Nowhere staged more 20th century history than there.

Don't go back at 19:42. Very different vibe.

Lots of talk of moles though. Don't deny it, Professor. It will only make it worse for you and your family.

It's all in the relativity of "-ish", isn't it?

Either that or he's talking total cock, as per.

Remember when they spoke to you of moles? Yeah, that. It's so subtle it's almost subliminal.

@martycricket.bsky.social I am reminded of the story from WW2 where the Germans built a number of airfields and planes out of wood in Northern France to deceive the Allies into thinking they had more resources than they did.

Apparently the RAF were wise to it… and dropped wooden bombs on them.

Schindler played them at their own game though tbf.

From The UK Daily Mirror, 8 May 1945, by Philip Zec.

Zec was a Jewish advertising executive who moved into producing political cartoons, he was on the Nazis' list of persons to be arrested immediately had they successfully invaded Britain.

He's Crafty, see.

You'd hope betting patterns are being looked at as I type.

That is literally how they make new roads over there. Just roll it out, paint some lines, happy motoring 👍

From what I saw last summer you might need to run a rope round the outfield to, er, level it off a bit.

Ironically, it's called populism.

Very well deserved. A giant pillar of the County circuit.

But that is exactly what he said???

Performative cruelty.

That Jimmy didn't get a gig justifies, underlines and strengthens my active hostility towards it.

I found out some time ago that she is a practising Buddhist. It absolutely floored me.

Is he about to catch the return from the lead off hitter in his teeth?

And when we get steamrolled in the CT and Ducky doesn't make it through Jerusalem, THEN we riot?

Non-striker wants outta there 🤣

Alexa, define 'excoriating'.

This is golden.

Tice and Oakeshott migrants now living under sharia law. You couldn't make it up.
