    My pal, driving in fog, got pulled over. Cop says “What do we do when we encounter Mr Fog?”. My pal thinks “better humour him” so says “ We turn Mr Steering Wheel towards Mr Slow lane”. Cop says “No Sir, I said “What do we do when we encounter MIST OR FOG !”

    Was on the tube last night on the way home to Wimbledon. Some young drunks got on, and it was a little bit intimidating, As we pulled into Wimbledon one of them started singing "Underground, Overground..etc" (They didn't know who I was) . I said nothing, but felt better!

    I was once whingeing to Paul McCartney that I'll always be known primarily for the Wombles. Straight-faced, without irony, he said, "Yeah, I have the same problem with The Beatles".

    It’s been six months since I joined the gym and still no benefit. So I’m going there in person tomorrow to find out what the problem is.

    My pal, driving in fog was pulled over. Cop says “What do we do when we encounter Mister Fog, Sir?”. My pal thinks, better humour him, so says “We put our foot on Mr Brakes and move into Mr Slow Lane”. Cop says, “No sir, I said “What do we do when we encounter MIST OR FOG!”

    Someone “liked” this old tweet today. It’s always nice to be reminded of old tweets that bring back memories.

    My brilliant mum, Elaine, who not only made me, but also every Womble costume you've ever seen on telly! She was a lovely, jolly, kind mum. She made every stitch of clothes we (four) kids wore, and was a handy cartoonist. Gone a few years now, but always remembered with love. ❤️

    It’s always about attacking the previous administration to change the subject.

    I’ll come along and sing Bright Eyes if you like. But it’s OK if you’d rather I didn’t.

    True: my pal, driving in fog, got pulled over. Cop says "What do we do when we encounter Mr Fog, Sir?". My pal thinks, better humour him so says "Oh I put my foot on Mr Brake and pull into Mr inside lane" Cop says, "No sir, I said "What do we do when we encounter MIST or FOG?".

    This is totally right. There is a stream of public consciousness where if you transgress for one second from what is the “acceptable ” opinion you are dumped on and trolled. It’s the opposite of free speech and liberalism. It is indeed actually fascism as @piersmorgan says.
