They think it might make girls like them.

Should we tell them now, or wait and let them find out?

Extra points if you make the costume from breadcrumbs and butterbeans!

I didn't even know Damp & Mould had got back together! Where do we buy tickets?

And the placard the guy behind it's holding has a really wonky handle.

I don’t use streaming services but I do rip CDs to MP3 because modern cars don’t have CD players. When ripping, I put the name of the record label at the time of release in the Genre field, because that’s far more significant and more likely to be of use.

Presumably one of their key sponsors was a company offering hot air balloon rides. If only they could have persuaded Alan Partridge to front the campaign!

In ATV Land, we got this ad. We lived in Ambergate, Derbyshire. We'd have to drive past Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham first. Liverpool was nearer. Manchester. York. Leeds. Hull. Lincoln. Why go to Milton Keynes?

Still remember the tune, mind.

So, (1) I buy something that isn't booze or ciggies, then sell it on to a friend for below the retail price, using the cash for booze and ciggies.
Or (2) I'm actually receiving benefits to top up my earnings from employment, which portion of my income I'm free to spend entirely on booze and ciggies.

I can only hope that details for all members of his organisation are being obtained and checked, so that once it is proscribed they can be safely identified as such, if and when they reappear in another more "respectable" guise.

It's a 1959 recording, but that's a 1970 sleeve. Very Barbarella.
Original covers were spacey, but rather more restrained.

Sunak is an idiot and I can easily believe he had no idea what he was helping with. I’m not inclined to criminality, but look at his face and tell me you couldn’t con him out of every penny he (or his wife) owned inside five minutes.
