Drinking for Australia - David Boon 52 Not Out!


https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/astonscc ... tml?page=2

(It's a bit lengthy, just like a game of cricket).
You must take anything from the murky world of professional wrestling with a pinch of salt, particularly if renowned liar and Trump booster Hulk Hogan is telling the tale, but Andre The Giant would have made Boony look like a lightweight. Sadly, his drinking was largely driven by the need to numb the pain of his acromegaly.
You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them.

Merton and Hislop've made similar comments about about their roles in creating Boris the Ledge.

Speaking of which, has anyone else been watching the US version of HIGNFY?

I'm up to episode five so far. There's still an element of people with money laughing about things that affect people who aren't them and how dumb those people are, but there's a rawness to the attacks on politicians that long since left the British version.

It's given me a couple of new podcasts to look up, as well.

Newsnight is reporting that the Trump campaign is making a “legal complaint” against the Labour Party, alleging “foreign interference in the USA election”.

Sheer desperation. Labour Party members and staffers have been going to the USA, at their own expense, to campaign for the Democrats for decades, without a single problem. It is more or less standard practice. Prominent Democrat Party strategists like Arnie Graf have similarly come to the UK to help Labour. The Democrats and Labour have a long and productive history of shared ideas and cooperation.

Trump must be cacking his trews.

I've watched a few and it's ok but suffers from the lack of Hislop and Merton equivalents.
I was pleasantly surprised that it's harder hitting than I expected.

So an owner of the UK’s Reform “political party”, who supposedly sits in the UK parliament, going over and campaigning isn’t political interference?

Likewise Liz Truss. The BBC put that same point to the Republican spokesperson who claimed the difference was that Labour are paying these activists to go and campaign.
There's just one tiny problem with that claim, Labour aren't paying them so it's bollocks.

If that was all they were doing, yes.
But it's also about networking and sharing ideas and strategies.

The Redcoats are coming! Perhaps Keir has Elon Musk to thank for this stateside fame after elevating him to international lizard man status on X following the Farage Riots.
The ensuing complaint from the Trump campaign is both pointed and theatrical.

In a reference to US winning its war of independence nearly 250 years ago, it says: "When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them."

I sense another Irregular verb.
We express solidarity with fraternal politicians in allied nations.
They subvert our national sovereignty.

Plus the taxpayer i.e hardworking strivers who read the Mail, are paying Lettuce Liz’s pension, and Nigel’s salary, and according to MP register of interests Nigel had his expenses funded by persons unknown

I knew of at least two people, one a Labour staffer and one working for a Labour MP (who is now an MP elected on 4 July himself), who spent a full month in the USA in 2016, at their own expense (though their accommodation was provided at the homes of Democrat supporters) working on Hillary Clinton's campaign. Totally regular, even common, form of activity. Trump complaining about this now is nothing more than a grandstanding political gesture - and a sign of desperation in his campaign.
