    Did Tommy Robinson actually take his name deliberately?

    Ironic that he took the name of Harper Lee's victim of racial prejudice.

    He also ran a tanning salon in Luton. You know, a place which turns people brown.

    The only Harper he knows is that Beckham child.

    Oh, I dunno. I am sure that right now he is sat in his prison cell feeling duly grateful that his "miscarriage" of justice didn't have the same outcome as that which befell Harper Lees character!

    Watts vs. Joules seems to have become "a thing" over on Po Face. Here is the definitive answer (and possible post of the year) :D

    Just coming back to Tommy Robinson, I note that Morrisey is putting beyond any remaining doubt that he is complete halfwit by pledging his support for the attention-seeking idiot.

    Morrisey is not a half wit, you’re giving him the attention seeking dullard far too much credit.
    Morrisey did cheer me up once when I heard he didn’t turn up for an interview promoting his new book once because he was so upset after going into a bookshop on his way to the interview and finding they did not have his book on sale. This being the book he was promoting that was being launched the following day.

    Receiving the annual wayleave cheque I get sent because a power cable just about oversails the corner of my garden. It's only £25 but I always forget about it until it arrives so it's a nice bonus.

    The book is, however, amazing. A true insight into the brain of Morrissey who has over the years, unfailingly proved himself to be an absolute tool.

    But, Vauxhall and I. Even he can't entirely destroy his own legacy.

    Slight Morrisey connection, I got an e-mail advertising an upcoming Johnny Marr tour.
    Advertised for dads. :shock: :? Then I realised that I am a grandad. :( Age sneaks up on you like that.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I volunteered as a tail walker at Parkrun this week, lots of nice chatting with young kids (andtheir mums), and middle aged ladies rehabbing after knee surgery. Lapped by about 400 people all waving and giving encouragement.

    A sporting event completely free from twittery (edited by swear filter) and wankery. It really cheers me up and restores my faith in the human race.

    Seeing Brits participating in the cafe culture, sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying a morning coffee. In pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers. :lol:

    Seeing a young deer cross my path while out on a pedal. Then realising that my perception would have been different if I had been flying down the hill instead of slowly crawling up it, and this may have ended up in the other thread.

    ITV4 footage of the Isle Of Man TT races. Absolutely incredible. The TT is everything that Formula 1 isn't. Working class lads riding machinery that you can buy in your local showroom and make race ready without a stratospheric budget. Amazing bravery, real danger and astonishing speeds. Truly edge of the seat viewing. Brilliant!!!!!

    Pure class this year -- think it's the closest racing I've ever seen. 135MPH lap record. Lap records broke in nearly every class. The applause for Ryan Kneen going out on his practice lap left me a bit cold though -- I'd have took him away from the TT, how could your head be right to do the TT after your brother is killed the night before?

    Balls the size of battleships.

    Never mind F1 - everything else in the world is shite compared to real roads racing.

    Even the bloke coming last is still so freaking ridiculously cool than anyone else.

    What I love most about this ‘Gammon’ thing is that I can’t understand or explain why this expression gets under the skin of these people but it does......bloody marvellous!
