They sack you after a year, it's your fault. After a month, it's their fault.

That's a good rule of thumb, and one I should have remembered when I was going through my 'new job every other week' phase.

Horizon, didn’t see the point but I always supported membership, good thing we rejoined as I advocated and is it’s all the EU’s fault we left. But it’s a Trojan Horse trap laid by Brussels for the UK to rejoin… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... right.html

This must be Johnson’s latest pissing taking game to wield two opposing arguments in one tedious article.
And this the result of a yellow card? (Source: Popbitch).
Does beg the question as to why Bozo isn’t using his column to lay into the people who plotted his downfall.

Big Dog - off to live on yet another farm.


Not for explicitly lying this time.
Not for shagging and general disrepute charges.
This time it's what the informed 60% of the country could always tell you - lazy and boring.

Speaking as someone working in HE at the time of the referendum, can I just say:

1. The impact was heavy and immediate. Like June 24th sorry that's not happening immediate.

2. Academia is not a jolly, people don't go into research projects for the chance to fuck about on away days and at conferences, stop generalising from yourself, shit dog.

Johnson jumping onboard the dangerous dog bandwagon.

Apparently it is not the dog it is the owner who is to blame.

How much damage did Johnson's dog cause to the Downing Street flat and Chequers.

[Youngian]

He’s not jumping on the demon dog bandwagon but expressing an observation that any dog owner can tell you without having to be paid over £50K per week to express. And it’s not even his dog but his wife’s.

[Watchman]

Oh giggles, my cute little dog killed a baby goose ( which I have doubts about), while some poor soul lost his life

[Youngian]

Observing that dogs aren’t teddy bears are wise words apparently

[Bones McCoy]

Just wait till they learn about sweet gentle (and politically generous) Putin.

Dilyn is a terrier. That's what they do. I have hounds--foxhounds, coonhounds and most of all beagles. You don't want to know what happened when my sweet, gentle beagles happened to find a nest of baby rabbits. Nature, red in tooth and claw. Or as another friend of my says, "Why do they always have to act like animals?"

[kreuzberger]

According to the German Kennel Club, the Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen, these Billy XL monsters come in various sizes (duh!) and have been recognised here for a good decade.

As far as I know, they haven't been chewing fine, upstanding citizens. Possibly, they are kept in AfD circles, so a few deaths there are of no newsworthy note.

Had a run in with a drunken twat with an out of control Labrador in a pub garden on Sunday. The dappy dog ran over to threaten my sweet little whippet in a very nasty manner. The other punters were disgusted and rather puzzled why we weren’t panicking and just standing our ground. Then my little hound transformed into a wolf illustration on a Jack London novel (had him on a lead). The piss head owner got the message and grabbed his dog back.

‘Chatter’ as in Dacre shouts at clouds.

[Andy McDandy]

We ran a what if piece and talking heads with fuck all else they wanted to talk about picked it up and talked about it.

[Youngian]

You’ll be unsurprised to learn Johnson knows fuck all about aliens or much else. Also features some stuff about Dilyn the dog https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... ister.html

That's what they call "bash something out before the deadline" in the trade. Experienced columnists have a number on file, ready for slow news days.

Here are the answers to the questions I'm most asked as a former PM

I suspect this is closer to the truth.

[satnav]

Surely the one question that most people ask Johnson must be 'Why are you such a lying c**t?'

Finger on the pulse of austerity Britain

The hearth is the floor of a fireplace, which sometimes extends into the room.

Making up bollocks as usual unless the Johnson parents are complete cretins. Anyone dependent on an open fire for heating would have a woodpile from the previous year.

When I was a nipper we had no central heating in our Somerset house, or any mains electricity.

We would go out foraging for wood in our beaten-up Land Rover, and as soon as we had a load we would bring it back and resume the struggle to keep warm.

Wet? These logs weren’t just wet. They were great sodden moss-covered lumps of solid dankness. For hours we would sit puffing and puffing with the worm-eaten bellows, until the magic moment when we had a flame hot enough to burn even damp wood — and the steam and the crackle was marvellous, and occasionally there would be a gunshot bang as an ember whizzed out and sizzled on the flags.
