Do you think so? I feel that Trump victory is scary enough to pull the rug from the middle-ground that the Labour right (to their shame) and the non-patrician side of the Tory party have been sustaining. The politics of that 'centre' are being seen for what they are. There's a better chance now (I hope!) for a proper anti-austerity Govt than we had before. I know sections of the press have been trying to normalise Trump and so keep the lid on things for a few more years, but it's not going to work, is it!?!

Is this foolish optimism? Can't do any harm, I figure...

Well, it beats the knuckle biting screaming horrors that descends periodically, that's for sure 😱

I'd like to unappreciate being so out of it that I've been thinking it was Saturday for the last half an hour and started looking forward to Strictly tonight. Perhaps I should stop mainlining coffee for a while.

Optimism? It's a variation of madness...

As a rider to this foolish optimism, I caught myself out the other night in the fear I used to have as a wee sprogg when every loud plane made my heart beat in horror like it was the first nuclear warhead.

Thank you, President elect Trump. What a way to live!

A candidate for "the Jungle?"

A bug? No offence to Ed. I like bugs and defend them daily

Look what I just found on my tablet! 😝

I've had an absolute stinker of a cold for the last week & very little sleep in that time because of it. My ability to function as a proper human being has disappeared as a result. I spent yesterday thinking it was Friday and I've spent large parts of today convinced that it's Thursday. I had been annoyed with my 9 month old pup for not listening to me for a couple of days, until I realised that it's possible that she can't understand my croaky, congested voice

I thought it was Friday yesterday, I was expecting an hour long ITT!

My son is suffering the same mixedupdayitis. Weird.

It must have been Friday yesterday as I am convinced today is Saturday.
I was getting all Strictly ready!

You lot have been busy! Almost like the old days, lots of pages to catch up on. Well, two.



Or a roof slate.


I think we can hazard a guess as to how he will perform, that's the problem. And he didn't win easily; he actually got less votes than his main opposition. The alternative, as you call her, was way more 'appetising' than that disgusting waste of oxygen.


You sound as though you are a supporter.


Yes!! This!! More perving! We haven't perved for ages!

There you go.


Trump is extremely scary, because he doesn't realise his limitations - which are many and great. He's a 12 year old not very bright boy in a man's body. Not sure it will affect the right wing lot here, they're more likely to admire him.

Now, about the perving. What do you fancy? Italian footballers, Irish actors, assorted musicians.... ?

I have been watching Black Books lately I feel I must suggest Dylan Moran.

Not only physically a very nice specimen, but he would also go straight to my heart by making me laugh.

I confess, when Zoe started to introduce a super blogger for a second I thought it was going to be Monkseal

Sara Cox just called Danny a dancing Bot on ITT. So which of you is missing tonight?

I guarantee that nothing as uncouth as teabagging goes on in Redknapp Towers.
Louise has probably convinced Jamie that a Saturday night special is being allowed to watch Match of the Day in his pants.

Ahh but there was an article in Cosmo about it so who knows!

Oh, that's an actual moustache on Tony Robinson not Graham the slug.

Any teabags in Redknapp Towers get put in one of those special teapot shaped saucers - no dirty worktops there - before being being thrown out in a responsible manner in the correct bin.

But there won't be articles like that in Woman's Weekly or Good Housekeeping. Surely Cosmo is way too racy for Louise?

I've never noticed how much Jason Gillickson looks like Keith Chegwin before ...

Cosmo is far too obsessed with the mucky business that must not be named for Louise.




Woman's Weekly has been forever tainted by Victoria Wood exposing it as an instrument of S and M. It has no place in Redknapp Towers, although Louise may sometimes be found having a surreptitious flick through when she's at the hairdresser's.

Not watching ITT at the moment (will watch on download later), but you are not making it sound appealing...

May deploy FF button

I've only watched about 3 or 4 episodes of ITT this year... they all featured Gorka

I don't feel that i've missed out on anything with the rest. I mourn for the day when ITT used to be must watch tv for me. These days i'm normally out taking the kids to/from their various out of school activities and I can't be arsed to catch up afterwards.

Me too! The sense of let down when Tony let me promote my autobiography Robinson popped up was huge. The show is one long Free promo for has-been zlebs. I loved UB40 in their day, but not recycled..
