State of these absolute idiots For a second I genuinely thought that was in the park by St Peter’s Square and that someone had confused Stockport and Southport again

State of these absolute idiots Hey, Keir, seeing as we didn't win the euros can we have a national holiday so we can sit at home watching that arsehole take one in the plums all day on repeat? The nation needs cheering up

Huw Edwards' next door neighbour was a Muslim apparently.

Trying so hard to convince the mrs to sack off the TV licence fee. Watch on catchup via PlayStation so rarely watch live tv anyway.

Very rarely tbh but best not tell her. The Huw Edwards case and his wage/raise last year has really got on my tits.

Speaking of Huw Edwards and my incessant need to talk about wrestling on here when nobody else cares; I'm appreciative of the rise in the use of 'Benoiting' or 'Benoited' when referring to the BBC News coverage of the Queen's death.
Chris Benoit was one of the best wrestlers in the world and was world-renowned, but in 2007, mainly due to the effects of CTE after decades of wrestling, he murdered his wife (also a wrestling personality known as Woman) and son before killing himself.
When the news broke, the WWE, who Benoit worked for at the time, had a show to do and at the time, the only news available was that Benoit and his family were dead.
WWE decided to air a 3 hour tribute show to Benoit in their usual TV timeslot, with clips of his career and videos of crying colleagues expressing their love and admiration for Benoit.
By the time their next show aired the next night, the circumstances had come out and WWE announced that Benoit's name would never be uttered again on their programming and nearly 20 years on it never has been.
They also removed all commentary and clips of Benoit from their back catalogue, except for full show replays, which all contain a content warning at the beginning.
This has meant that WWE can never feature the main event of their 20th anniversary of Wrestlemania at Madison Square Garden in 2004, when Benoit won the World championship and celebrated at the end of the show with Eddie Guerrero, whose death in 2005 is also believed to have massively affected Benoit's state of mind in the 18 months before his own death.
The term 'Benoiting' or 'Benoited' has been used nichely when referring to footage that cannot be used due to events that follow, but since the Huw Edwards story, I've seen it used more and more to describe the BBC coverage of the Queen's death, in that it's an incredibly historic piece of footage that is now taboo due to the people involved and the crimes they committed (such as lostprophets music videos etc)
So the BBC News of the Queen's death has been Benoited.
Thank you for reading.

I've dealt with it for 25 years now and I see it that everyone's got an interest that someone else would find to be weird. Just got to embrace it and enjoy what you enjoy. Anyway, back to being hardline lefties. BURN DOWN THE ESTABLISHMENT!
