You Keep Enoching, But You Can't Come In
"I wish I had been killed in the war." -Enoch Powell on being asked what his life's greatest regret was. I almost managed to feel sorry for the old bastard until I realised that he hadn't made it at all clear which side he would have liked to have been on.
The real Olympic legacy? Unemployed athletes:
"You're an ex 100 meter sprinter? That's great, I can get you ten seconds work next Tuesday"
"Can I get you any work on a building site? Well, as I saw you throwing your hammer 80 meters across a field on telly last week, I'd say probably not"
"You're Daley Thompson? That's great! I can get you a job selling Lucazade, no problem!"
"I didn't ask you if you can jump 18 meters in three strides, I asked you if you can type"
Olympic Go Bye Bye.
If I know anything about you saps, it's that you're probably getting withdrawal symptoms without the Olympics to distract you from your horrible lives. Fortunately for you, I have agreed with myself to make up some Olympic news just to stop you from throwing a suicide javelin right up you own nose. Here's the first instalment:
BONG! In a surprise result, the 110 meter hurdles has been won by a hippopotamus called Sally.
BONG! Taking inspiration from their ancestors, the Chinese table tennis team have assured victory for themselves by building a thousand mile long impregnable stone wall right across the middle of the table.
BONG! The Olympic rings are based on the anatomy of the founder of the modern Olympics Pierre de Coubertin, who had five anuses so that his wife could pick him up like a bowling ball and throw him at the television every time Eastenders was on.
BONG! 'Tweddle' is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning to talk rubbish while doing a forward roll.
BONG! The 2012 Olympics were actually held in Coventry(see picture).

Nottingham: Ready For War
This photograph shows what appears to be the erection of the dome/clock tower of Nottingham's famous council house during it's construction in the late nineteen-twenties. The eagle-eyed among you however, will not have failed to notice the obvious similarities between this photograph and the infamous U2 spy plane photographs of Soviet ICBM silos under construction near Havana some thirty years later which led directly to the Cuban missile crisis, pushing the world to the very brink of nuclear armageddon .
The truth of the matter is that the Council House dome was not built for aesthetic reasons at all, but does in fact house a Russian built R36 intercontinental ballistic missile armed with a single warhead containing an eight megaton yield nuclear device capable of creating a fireball with a 30 mile blast radius, which is kept permanently fuelled and ready to launch at Derby city centre at a moment's notice.
While we all hope that the use of the missile will be necessary, it is reassuring to know that it is there, guarding us like a huge and utterly insane thermonuclear dog guarding it's favourite radioactive megabone even though the deranged canine knows that exploding the deadly megabone a mere 15 miles from it's own kennel would inevitably result in it's own instantaneous vaporisation. Ironically, at the same time as killing it, the fireball would completely cure the hypothetical dog(which I have named Cloughie) of the rabies which led to it's insanity in the first place. The Lord giveth, The Lord taketh away.
Fortunately the city council have built in rigorous safeguards to prevent an accidental launch of the device. On deciding that the time is right to launch a pre-emptive strike against Pride Park, Robin Hood will send the launch codes via two blindfolded carrier pigeons to Sue Pollard and Christopher Dean, who both hold one of the keys which simultaneously need to be inserted into the anus of each of the two stone lions guarding the Council House on The Old Market Square side of the building. Once this is done, the launch procedure is(for obvious safety reasons) irreversible.
Progress
In the nineteen-eighties the once proud city of Liverpool seemed like a lost cause. Urban decay, unemployment, Derek Hatton, Margaret Thatcher and Ken Dodd all did their bit to sink the place into the Mersey sludge. Then the entire population stops reading The Sun for twenty-five years and now look at it! Maybe we should all give it a try. What have you got to lose? Not reading The Sun involves no effort whatsoever. Seriously, it's an absolute Ken Doddle.
Actually, I quite like Ken Dodd.

Outstanding In His Field
Scarecrows really are getting frighteningly realistic these days. I saw one driving a tractor earlier!
Uranus
Did you know that you can use astrology to quickly find out if you are compatible with a potential partner? Simply ask them if they believe in astrology, if they say yes, turn around and find someone less stupid.

Queen's Visit To Nottingham
Imagine my horror: Knowing that The Queen was visiting my home town of Nottingham today to open something we probably don't want(like a tractor factory or Prince Edward or something), and knowing that the flightpath of the royal helicopter would lead her directly over my house, I prepared myself to strike a decisive victory for democracy.
Both my parents are French*, and they recently passed to me our most valued family heirloom, the very guillotine once used to decapitate Louis XVI! I could feel the regicidal power of this monarch hating super weapon boiling away beneath it's utilitarian exterior, so I readied myself to help it relive it's 18th century heyday one last time by firing it at the royal flight as it passed overhead. I hefted the guillotine onto my shoulder, and aimed it directly at the Q's helicopter and(knowing that my aim was straight and true) depressed the release catch.
Nothing happened.
Of course, what my parents failed to tell me, is that the guillotine is a gravity powered weapon which is only useful for murdering monarchs who's heads are BELOW the height of it's flashing blade at the point of release.
When I say 'nothing happened', I do of course mean 'I condemned us to another thousand years of chinless tyranny'. Sorry about that.
*Not true.

I see that David Cameron has criticised Prince William for not doing enough to earn his privileged lifestyle. No really, David Cameron......
......the man born with a silver yacht up his arse, who's failing in his difficult job of not being even worse at running the country than New Labour.
You are what you eat, and she ate Mariah Carey
I don't know about you, but I very much enjoyed last night's 'You Are What You Eat: Celebrity Special' featuring Mariah Carey. I don't think any of us were surprised when Gillian McKeith examined Mariah's stool sample and found that the empty-headed Ameriwarbler had mistakenly shat out yet another god-awful dinner party power ballad. For God's sake Gillian, put it back up. PUT IT BACK UP!
Picture shows Mariah Carey taking a Tom Tit in readiness for the show.

Jubilee Concert: Prince Philip Plays Dead
I think we can all understand Prince Philip's brilliant idea of pretending to have a bladder infection on this, the most tedious day so far of The Queen's sixty years in charge of this nasty little country. Palace sources claim that the palace sauce himself has been taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. A precautionary measure against the wily old bastard dusting off his elephant gun and taking a few pot-shots at the various slices of nob cheese who will be performing at this evening's Jubilee concert no doubt. Perhaps these performers would do well to remember that The Queen and Prince Philip were young approximately seventy-five years ago and as such, are unlikely to give a shit about them. Even though our entire royal family does a very good job of appearing to be almost unbelievably dim, I don't think that even The Q-Unit In Chief herself is dim enough to want to watch Gary fucking Barlow wheeled out in his fat-suit for the whole nation to patriotically hate/ignore.
Nice one Philip, give the nurse one from me will ya? Ya fecking dirty old genius you.

I have applied for planning permission to build a grassy knoll outside Downing Street. I just hope that the customers at my new high powered rifle shop opposite the mental hospital aren't too mental to put two and two together. I have also constructed a deserted Book Depository which coincidentally has excellent views of Rupert Murdoch.
Putting the 'bile' into 'Jubilee'.
I would like to take this opportunity to express on behalf of the nation, the gratitude that we all feel for the magnificent sixty year reign of The Big Q. We could all do well to remember that The Q-Unit spends very little of her royal time floating down The Thames on a golden barge, in fact she very rarely leaves her bed chamber at all, where she spends most of her time laying the millions of eggs from which all English speaking people are born.
So next time you think about making some smart-arsed comment on our mentally ill royal family, just remember HMtheQ stuck in Buck Palace firing eggs out of her cod-cannon like a Bangkok lady-boy with a brand new man-clam and a fresh bucket of ping-pong balls.
I for one am dreading that fateful day when our illustrious leader finally pops her clogs and the sky darkens when, as one, the entire population of The Commonwealth rises up into the air to form a giant swarm in order to locate a new Queen.

Monty Python
Sketch comedy actors today don't know they're born. When I was in Monty Python I had to write direct and perform a half hour show for the BBC, run a bed and breakfast in Torquay, make Brazil, Jabberwocky, Twelve Monkeys AND The Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen, write and perform the theme tune for 'One Foot In The Grave', invent modern satire in 'That Was The Week That Was', get divorced, get married and get divorced again, go around the world in eighty days, die of AIDS, be the nicest man in showbiz, play an upright piano in the nuddy-bum, be better than 'The Goodies', get a chip shuvved up my nose by Kevin Kline, find the holy grail, make James Bond's gadgets, get to a conference for which I am very, very, very late, be unbelievably tall, make a party political broadcast for the Liberal Democrats, constantly be on the look-out for The Spanish Inquisition AND sully the memory of the whole fucking lot by getting a load of homosexuals to make a fucking Broadway musical about it. And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

The Imperial War Museum, what is it good for?
The Imperial War Museum really is an extremely well defended museum. I can't think of any other museum in the world that is as well defended. You really would have to be crazy to launch a frontal assault on this particular museum. Other museums could learn a thing or two. Perhaps The Imperial War Museum should be sent to Afghanistan to fight The Taliban.
Randy Rockets
As this recently released photograph clearly illustrates, the real reason that NASA had The Space Shuttle taken out and shot is that it would frequently try to hump any aeroplane that came anywhere near it. It is ironic that the 'Shuttle' was a much randier space-craft than many of the giant phallic cock-o-rockets that it replaced.
At one point, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory had to keep a team of fireman on the runway at all times, ready to go and throw a bucket of cold water over the randy re-entry vehicle every time it got out of line. The total sex drive NASA built into a the Saturn 5 rockets used to put men on the moon for example, is almost exactly the same as one would find in a modern giant panda.
To this day, NASA has not offered a satisfactory explanation for the bureaucratic mix up which led to the Saturn 5 rockets never getting anywhere near Saturn, but getting lost and ending up on the moon. Many conspiracy theorists even speculate that this discrepancy may indicate that man never went to the moon at all, and that the so-called moon landings were actually filmed in a TV studio on Saturn.
