Thank you for referring to me in every sentence of this post I find you amusing.

As far I can recall, we've had police investigations, several convictions and we're setting up a public inquiry to look at abuse in the establishment. Whether that inquiry goes far enough, we don't know, but once the Savile story broke, people said words. Many of them. The internals at the BBC are a different story, but it's nonsense to suggest that the general public were not arsed about Savile.

If any of us were in the producer's shoes, or even knew someone in their shoes, we'd probably be spitting feathers at the incident. If any of us hit a colleague at work, we'd have a reasonable expectation of being bounced out of the door on gross misconduct. I wonder what Jeremy Clarkson has to do to actually lose support amongst his fan base. Would they let him off with a rape? A murder? "He makes millions for the BBC, don't you know?"

Awake and able to distinguish between 1980s teen-slayers.

Er, isn't is Jason Vorhees that is associated with Friday 13th? Or at the very least, his old dear in the first film?

I have been rewatching Battlestar Galactica. Right now, I'm toward the end of the second series, which arguably contains on of the best unofficial three-parters in sci-fi. Like many of the stories in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, this took cues from the original show. "All this has happened before, and will happen again" is one of the show's mantras, and so it does. For the uninitiated, Battlestar Galactica centres on the last known mass of humanity to exist following a huge attack by the Cylons, an artificial race created by humanity itself. The reimagined show doesn't really pull any punches. This is existential threat, almost every week. The rag-tag fleet has had to do some horrible things, like blowing up a civilian ship because they suspected it was hostile. They have not got to this point morally unscathed. Which is kinda why the Pegasus episodes are so fantastic. The Galactica finds another Battlestar that has survived, but the contrast in how each ship has survived could not be more marked. Galactica's mission is to escort a civilian fleet to Earth and save humanity. The commander of the Pegasus will happily strip civilian ships of parts and personnel before leaving them stranded. With two such differing approaches, no peace can last amongst the respective commanders. Edward James Olmos plays Commander Adama, and is always good value for money. His adversary is played by the excellent Michelle Forbes, who has appeared on our screens as Ensign Ro and also did a stint as a big bad in True Blood. "Intense" doesn't really do this, or the series justice. It''s all now there. Re-imagined show, prequel show and a couple of movies to fill in the gaps. Go seek, if you haven't already. So say we all.

Jasper Carrott's referee lovechild.

Just listened to Football Weekly Extra. They reckon that the tie will be a clash between two tired teams Chelsea, maybe.

Black Spider-Man costume? Venom? The Six Spider-Men? I regret nothing.

Like KRG, didn't read a great deal of his stuff, but really enjoyed a collaboration he did with Neil Gaiman called Good Omens. Having read a lot of Gaiman's work, the Pratchett stuff sticks out a mile, such as a scene in which a trickster weaves his magic on a party of paint-balling detestable yuppie types, turning their paint balls into live ammunition, with hilarious results. Made a ton of money and more importantly, a ton of people happy. Has probably inspired a couple of generations into the bargain. That ain't bad going by anyone's standards, even if would have been nice to have him around for longer. RIP

More ejectee than defector, but NA continues to be a class act.

"Bring back Clarkson" is the biggest change.org petition to date. Our species is fúcked.

I wouldn't be entirely sure that it's ever coming. Look at the way the platform has been positioned. They want to sell you video, not allow you to play your own files. You don't need a full-on console for media stuff anyway. Raspberry Pi with Kodi will set you back less than £60 and give you a media centre that kicks consoles' arses. Don't get me wrong. From a consumer's point of view, definitely for someone that has gone PS3->PS4, it's presently shít and I can understand why people feel they've been left out. However, Sony never advertised this as a media tank, and if you're serious about playing back the most number of formats, you're better off looking at something else anyway.

I'm saying nothing of the sort. I'm simply putting meat on the bones of your points, something you seem unable to do with any degree of relevance. You can bang on about US support as much as you want. It was the US acting as aggressor in an illegal imperialist invasion and the píss-poor post-planning that created the power vacuum that now allows ISIS to thrive. I can understand you wanting to deny that. You tub-thumped for this new phase of Western aggression. It's natural.

Smell my cheese!

Well, here's the thing. Given that we've successfully identified you as the sort of person that gets upset at stuff an 11 year old would find amusing, I'm not sure it matters what your opinions on other matters are. I think it's cute that you tried to assess the performance of others after your own failure and your public pronouncement that you're taking your ball home. Bless.

Certainly not with swear words. I mean, let's examine the sort of wánker that thinks like that. Why would you? Oh, it's because someone told you it was bad back when you were wrong, possibly punished for it, and despite all the more important crap going on in the world, you still think it is important. These are the people you are asking me to consider. Why the fúck should I?

Blimey. I didn't realise that was Roy of the Rovers. Mind you, I was reading Spider-Man at the time.

These posters with avatars that they don't understand....

Better than finding a pube at the bottom of a Bloody Mary.

Yup, sounds like a nursery rhyme compared to say, NWA. Quite funny, really. I am amused by how easily people are sidetracked by a bit of blue language. Can you imagine these people at war? "Sir. The fúcking enemy is right on top of us!" "I'm sorry, old bean. Did you just say the f-word? That's not on you kn....." Bullets. Silence.

I'm only really being inconsiderate of others' delusions.

Jezza is starting to look a bit long in the tooth, more potential victim of a bogus caller or someone posing as a Nigerian prince than the anchor of a show about fast cars.

It's not a question of capability. I could just as easily describe them as people with priorities that are totally askew, that don't realise that their offence is what gives these words their power in the first place. Besides, swearing is f**king cool. And offends c**ts.

That's not true. No-one else puts the effort into dícking about like Kelvin. Besides, would you rather he was in goal? Quality in the Championship but gives me nightmares at this level.
