Quote: Chappers @ 8th November 2024, 5:53 PMA comedian has accused Steve Coogan of stealing his idea for a sitcom.
This of course will set alarm bells ringing with those on here wary of submitting their scripts to production companies. Of course there is always the chance of coincidence.
The 'original' series was a fully produced show published on the web, not a script.
Such worries really are self-defeating and effectively baseless.
For goodness sake!
Just looked it ip.
For a start it's nothing to do with Steve Coogan.
And as Aarons says, the original has been available on Youtube for nigh on 10 Years.
And the 'original' idea his hardly original - Seinfeld anyone??
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 5th November 2024, 9:22 AMYou have to feel sorry for the poor old left. Not only saddled with five years of having to defend a leader who makes Boris Johnson look like the most honest & trustworthy leader in history, they now don't quite know what to do about the new Conservative leader.
Or now the new President elect of the USA, after their Foreign Secretary called him all those things a few years back, but most of his MPs have gone on record saying nasty things about him. Proving the current Labour party and its leader have no political instinct whatsoever.
What do they believe, that all their opposition should to be as woke as they are??? Hopefully it'll dawn on them that they are the odd ones out, not the more in tune with the public right wing opposition, when they get kicked out after one short term. Lefty rabble.

Starmer's actually done a decent job of toadying up to Trump so far, and Trump does respond well to toadying (which is why Putin is already calling him courageous and manly because he knows that's the best way to manipulate him).
Gary Lineker has resigned from Match of the Day so that he can apply for the vacant position of Archbishop of Canterbury.

Someone called Alex Scott favourite to take over (MOTD that is - not Archbishop of Canterbury) @ 2/1. Gabby Logan is 8/1, Kelly Somers 10/1 and Kelly Cates 12/1. (Gabby Logan I know.)
Poor old Mark Chapman ploughing a lone furrow for the male presenters @ 5/2.
I would go for Colin Murray

I think he's happy with Rachel and Susie.

I won't miss either of them, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lineker wasn't short listed for the Arch Bish job, with his holier than thou attitude of late - I'm waiting to see him walk on water
Spot the difference:
1) Starmer's reply yesterday to Nigel Farage's PMQs question as to whether the time has come to proscribe the IRSG (The Iran Revolutionary Guards) as a terrorist organisation that the government will keep them under review.
2) The January 2023 Labour statement urging the (then) Government to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation without delay, issued by David Lammy & Yvette Cooper (now foreign secretary & Home secretary):
"The IRGC is behaving like a terrorist organisation and must now be proscribed as such. Labour supports proscribing the IRGC either through the existing process, or through amending the national security bill to create a new process of proscription for hostile state actors. Labour will always take the actions necessary to keep the British public safe."
Allison Pearson had police at her house Sunday morning to investigate a 'non-crime hate post on Twitter??
She asked what her tweet was and was told 'they cannot tell her.
She then asked, 'Who has complained?' She was told they could not name them and would be referred to as 'the victim.'
So now you can be investigated and possibly punished but they can't tell you why or who.
Conversely, last year, two scumbags tried to break into my car down my drive at 3 in the morning. The Ring camera alerted me and I used it to frighten them off.
They damaged the lock and I had full hi-res video of their faces. The police would not attend or view the video and just gave me a crime number for my insurance.
Extremely common now apparently for them to not investigate, as it is for increasing cases of shoplifting. These 'lower level' crimes are on the rise partly because they know the police usually won't do anything about them.
Covid pissed me off most, the local police were nowhere to be seen on many contraventions of the social distancing and face mask wearing rules. I witnessed dangerous unmasked idiots deliberately getting close to people in shops, handling as many products as they could and putting them back and not a police officer in sight. I reported several large parties I saw and heard mostly by Romanians breaking the 6 persons rule and they just let them carry on. ðŸ˜
I like it.

Apart from anything else, either something's a crime and requires action by the appropriate authority or it isn't and therefore doesn't require action. Why are the police investigating, and issuing warnings, if they already accept that no crime has been committed (ie it's a "non-crime")?
Had to smile watching the lunchtime news, as Starmer (shaking his little fist) got his knickers in a twist and said about this Turkish boat runner boss having been arrested "......and smashing the smaggling guns....." Yes, dangerous thing a Smaggling gun 😆
