Yep, it's like Noddy and Jim from Slade, who earn an estimated £200K each per year from 'Merry Xmas Everybody.'

A truly epic rant from Jonathon Pie (as a fake journalist) about Boris. NSFW: language

I saw it as well. It was absolutely magnificent, probably his best yet.

Took the words right out of my mouth (but so much more eloquently) .............

I do like the way he savages everyone and his style of a grumpy reporter is fantasticly funny.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I ended up being lumbered with managing my youngest sons football team for around 5 years. We had one lad playing with the team that although never confirmed by his parents obviously had autism. He was quite emotional at times and used to get a into a bit of a state now and again, but all the lads in the team were great with him. I have since done some tests and I too have a degree of autism, or what used to be called Asperger’s, so I sometimes didn’t quite know the best way to deal with him but my eldest son used to help out with training and at matches and he was absolutely fantastic with him and was always able to take him to one side and calm him down.
My wife and I opened a gift, furniture and antiques shop in the village and today the lads mother came in and I asked her how her son was. She said he was at 6th form and really enjoying a course on management and had recently managed a football team himself. So, I like to think that as a whole group both I, my son and all the lads had been a good influence on him and in some small way helped him to grow in confidence. So, that is my smile of the day.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Thanks Sir Trev. I didn’t particularly enjoy football and was left with the job when the manager emailed the parents to say he was in hospital and I would be taking over. They were a bunch of misfits at the beginning and it was like herding cats, they had never won a match. Their attitudes started to change and even when getting thoroughly trounced I would get emails from our opponents managers to say what a great bunch of lads they were with great attitudes. Eventually we started winning some silverware. Don’t regret doing it but I wouldn’t do it again!
