It probably was in the east. Certainly wasn't in the west.

The weather is always nice when you're in the pub.


Yes, that's true, but the poor love on the wagon because she is 8.5 months
preggers! Anyway, they've been to see that dreadful leftie Marcus Brigstocke
and Four Puffs and a Piano.

Your sentence would have been just as accurate if you've simply replaced the
"...when I visit..." with "in" in your sentence...

It didn't rain here on Friday 7th but we did have 46.4 mm on Friday 14th
to compensate.

He really is bad, always the low point of the Now Show and that really is
low. Spews forth political bile without any humour. Saw him a few years ago
at the festival (as part of a bigger show) and he was the low point of that
as well, don't know how he got the job at Radio 4, must know the right
people.

He seems to be part of this modern media incestuous circle, where
people with no recognisable talent whatsoever become celebrities
through sarcasm at the expense of other people with talent. We are
all entitiled to have opinions, and in appropriate circumstances to
express them, (-: indeed, I've been known to express a few myself :-)
but when whole genres of programmes are built around such a negative
concept, the result is not funny, merely sour grapes.

For example, apart from the occasional guests from the pop scene, who
often seem a little at a loss, 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' seems to
consist entirely of people who have never had a hit record criticising
'humorously others who have. Now, in common with myself, you may not
like the majority of pop records, but the point still stands that
these people who are the butt of the jokes have accomplished
something, whereas most of those on the panel have not.

'They Think It's All Over' is entirely anal-ogous with regard to
Sport.

For me, the lowest point for Marcus Brigstocke was in his programme on
Beethoven, wherein he described one of the world's greatest ever
composers as having "an anger management problem". Whether true or
not, I care not. We know and care about Beethoven because of the
glorious music he wrote, not because he was a saint. The day that
Marcus Brigstocke writes a symphony that is remotely as good as
anything by Beethoven, then I will not only listen to it, but also to
his remarks on Beethoven's character, but, until then, he can shut the
f*ck up.

BTW, what's wrong with being a leftie?

Remember Josie Lawrence? She seemed to be on all the comedy shows for a
while (probably as the token female*) before someone eventually realised
that she just wasn't funny. Now she has reached her true vocation, as a bit
part in Eastenders.

*Now there seems to be quite a few female stand-ups coming through that are
actually quite funny.

Lefties are anti-capitalists who flirt with environmentalist extremism,
anarchy and communism. They work for the end of civilisation as we know it.
They are dour humourless supporters of the nanny state and of political
correctness. They should all be executed.
