Bring in some new bullshitter, get rid of the old guard that call them out, bring in faithful acolytes, bullshitter leaves onto the next big role when their ideas turn out to be bullsh-t.
I came here to post that but I knew someone would have done it already - that mid song breakdown and bassline was the soundtrack to my youth. Never bettered
I was only listening to a podcast yesterday with Mani where he was talking about how his wife’s death a few years ago had rocked him and he’d spent the last few years hiding away and looking after his young twins. Who are now orphans. It’s terrible news.
I’ve got skin in this chat as have worked at the BBC twice over two separate occasions and have put in almost 20 years there over the years - as a local boy it was always my ambition to work there and was very proud to do so. Ironically I’ve just been paid up and one of the reasons I took the cheque was it was fast becoming chaotic and badly run, which I would never have said before. Lots of cowards and yes men and anonymous functionaries calling the shots
Wish it gone at your peril honestly, it’s a great institution and loved all over the world.
The noise about BBC News shouldn’t distract from everything else the BBC does, it’s the best deal going IMO across radio, World Service, eduction stuff for kids like Bitesize, random commissions that would never get a look in anywhere else, and the freedom to commission insanely expensive and non commercial but important programmes like David Attenborough over the years
Murdoch, Maxwell, every dishonest cnt going in the media landscape has been gunning for the BBC for decades and now with Trump on board and Robbie Gibb and his cronies running the news operation i do fear for the future. Tim Davie for me was an alright bloke but if he’s bailing too I think he’s seen the writing on the wall
Where I sit in Ellerslie there was a time when youth team players used to sit behind us for games, and Kolli was one of them (he had the hair even then so you couldn't really miss him)
Even as a young kid watching the games he came across as passionate and part of the club and a leader of his contemporaries. Also opinionated about a few players but IMO you want that in a good young kid and I'm not going to grass him up on what he said.
Bombing him out is a real shame, as others have said he feels like a potential part of the Eze/Chair/Adel history and it looks like we're abandoning a genuine youth product for politics
Me and my brother were over in Amsterdam for Euro 2000 and ended up getting battered with a couple of Bristol City fans in a coffee shop and got on well.
After a while as the herb and beer kicked in to our young brains they started to hint that they were the ones that burned down Bristol Rovers’ old ground.
My missus is Canadian and her relatives have been sending merch over for a few years, so my eight year old has been wandering around west London in a Guerrero Jr Blue Jays top for a couple of years - his favourite T shirt
We went over there at the start of the summer and saw them destroy San Francisco. Took our seats, and Guerrero Jr hit a home run on the first ball he faced, it was like it had been written. You could feel the locals getting excited, been brilliant to see it play out
Now just trying to pick which 1am game during half term we sit and watch. 1-1 and could go either way
