Who is William Onyeabor?

my own picture, because this thread has standards being played in celebration of the fact that the Eggzzz Eggzzz Eggzzz agreed to do a mini interview for a little footy fanzine I contributed to VT exclusive: they're currently working on a new album, hence lack of tour dates

which is odd, because brexit types on here a couple of months ago assured us that wouldn't happen....as there weren't the spare buildings, infrastructure or expertise in europe I thought it was odd at the time. I thought to myself, well I know we won the war, but I'm sure europe could build some office space and I know we had the spitfire, but I'm sure they have broadband in europe, and I know they don't like it up 'em, but surely they have computers? Ah well. At least we've still got a two nil lead against the hun.

In all fairness to Boris, I’m sure there will be youtube clips out there of him saying he likes the single market, hates the single market, invented the single market, wants two single markets, single market pasty freedom phwoar! ,single market made me a world war two hero, I’m just an ordinary single market chap hoping to be king tory one day depending how the wind blows. The clip was less than three years before before the referendum, so technically it was a couple of years. October 2013.

A couple of years ago, defo pre referendum. I did know exactly what the date was when I posted it. You have to have more detail than Tony H or he picks off liberals with his mis-remembered daily heil titbits.

Dan Hannan, Tory MEP

Clearly not watching american sports - couldn't even tell you what sport, even now. Googled the name and he had sports clothes on. I guess basketball or 'football'. Why would anyone watch american sports? I guess if you're a bit rainman about in game stats and have a thing for shoulder pads then it would be ok. But no, not for me then, not for me now. 90's? I'd have been enjoying being able to go to footy again without gangs of casuals roaming the streets outside. I'd have been waving my arms around in fields to generic 150 bpm rubbish and inhaling what later turned out to be a 24 hour candle not a giant free spliff. I'd have been cutting the roofs off VW Beetles and then falling out (of the driving seat) when they went over a bump. I got married. Started a new job. Broke a sofa whilst having sexy (not on my own). Bought my first ever brand new car, a Mercedes Benz. I loved that car. Bought a house and quickly had a crash course in plumbing, plastering, roofing, electrics... To be fair, american sport and grown ups playing wrestling are both on my 'to do' list. Just under setting fire to my own cock and sitting through Cats! the musical ever again...

Polling is against them. Common sense is against them. Experts warn against it. All they have to do now is wrap themselves in a flag, say shit about refugees and write a big number on a bus and they're home and dry. (I should just edit that to say best of luck to them, but unfortunately I don't think it will happen. But I do presume it will be the same people explaining why we are better off without europe, that will be persuading Scotland they are better off ruled by others hundreds of miles away with a different agenda and everyone's better off in the big union project)

There you go, that's him, googled him once I had the second name and yes, Denis Rodman.

Late last night I was channel hopping and stumbled across an episode of some American Celebrity Apprentice thing, with Trump. One of the contestants was a really tall black guy with lip rings and a nose ring thing (maybe called Denis?). Anyway, in the chit chat it became apparent that for some reason Trump had let the guy use or borrow his jet. The conversation went something along the lines of: Trump: So hey yeah, so I let you use the jet. What you think? 'Dennis': Yeah, it was good. Trump: Yeah you can get anything you want with a plane like that, yes? Dennis: Yeah, ha ha. Trump: Yeah, you know what I mean. Anything you want. He knows. I'm beginning to think this Trump character might be a wrong 'un.

Ah I can see it now, 90 minutes of a big wet farting singing vagina up on the stage, plus his shameless money grubbing wife.

I'm get upset about people saying 'less' a lot fewer than I used to.

Off topic, but the fundamental problems of Scottish independence remain. What money will they use? Will Spain allow it? Saying that, I do know they are currently refreshing the data base of 'Yes' volunteers.

well if we're off the proper music, got tickets for the musical 'Hamilton' today tickets are for March 2018 had to be quick, the week we knew we could go was sold out a few minutes after being released you can bet I'll be giving up my ticket to someone else at some point in the next 14 months, not really my thing

To look at this from the other perspective. I’m the person that cooks the family meal. We all enjoy having a sit down family meal that takes a couple of hours with a bit of music playing in the background, but we’re not uptight about it. If someone has something else on or is busy or just doesn’t fancy it this week that is not an issue. I am not going to text around people and find out who’s dabbling with veganism this week, who hasn’t eaten since Wednesday and who has decided they do / don’t like broccoli / stuffing / roasties. So lunch on a Sunday is as close to 1:00pm as I can manage whilst dancing to Radio 6 and jotting down names of fairly obscure reggae tracks to post on VT later. Lunch will be enough for everyone without going OTT. By definition, that means long before 1:0pm I’ve put meat in the oven, mixed up some yorkie mix and started a batch of roasties. All the stuff that if there is any left, people are happy to take away with them. Never seen a joint of meat go uneaten, never thrown away a roast spud. Everybody happy. No drama. No expectation on people turning up and eating. Dessert will always be something out of a box like a cheesecake, or home made cakes that will last a day or two. That minimises the waste of not knowing if there will be three of us or six. Yesterday was pork. Today I have pork and stuffing sandwiches. Easy.

Oh haven't you heard, we're going to do Ireland's border security for them. 'Our' border will start at Cork and Rosslare, Dublin airport and Bantry Aerodrome. Not only will we have our country back, we're gonna reunite Ireland under the red white and blue shield. I say shield, it'll be run by G4S and Capita. it's gonna be great.

meanwhile, in a parallel universe where people aren't on trolleys in corridors... Let them eat cake

Celebrating another fall in sterling? 2016 Q3 figure: trading deficit of £25,494 Million ONS Now I'm not an economics expert...

I wonder if there have been any examples to compare with the privatised shit show... East Coast

Thames Barrier, yesterday.

Nah, I'm the most vanilla guy you'll ever meet. Even that coffee's decaff.

possibly the laziest day I've had in months

I've just heard a very good section from a speech today by JC to the Fabian Society. He suggests the tories need to buck up their ideas on health. They need to properly fund social care. A Labour government would get social care for the elderly properly funded and sort out expensive poorly run private care homes. A bit more of that please Jezza. It's the stuff of important easy wins against the nasty party focused on profit and privatisation.
