No, but it’s safer than Sunny Djibouti.

The thing is, thanks to Brexit we are free to have cordial relations with all these countries on our own terms.

Well Kia-Ora is known to be racist towards crows as it's supposedly too orangey for them, only the kid and his dog can live there.

I once referenced, to a colleague, Tim Bisley referencing the Kia-Ora advert and it was one of the most painfully awkward moments of my life. They didn't know the advert, let alone Spaced, so they just thought I was calling my wife a dog. Played out very much like the scene in Spaced in that regard, but much more uncomfortable.

Was watching ITV News at 10 tonight and there was clearly something wrong with the presenter throughout the entire half hour. Thought it may have been an autocue problem but he even struggled to wish the viewer a happy weekend at the end, and his eyes were noticeably wet. Whatever was going on, total failure on ITV’s part, both to him and the viewer.

Clip of it here. Quite disturbing to see someone who’s usually so professional stumbling like that.

It does look like autocue problems, but then he winces.

That post also perfectly sums up the shambles that is now X. Post about a man having a possible medical episode and then right underneath it some lesbian porn and a link to a subscription site.

He looked like he could've been having a mini stroke or something when he was talking about the King too.

It's really bad that ITN didn't step in when he was obviously not well.

Jesus this looks bad - hopefully he's ok because the problems he were having don't look normal at all.

That was just something else :dread:

You could see the guy's mental cogs grinding away there.

"but wait, i thought bongo bongo land WAS rwanda!


They should have really blown his mind and told him there are two countries called Congo. :lol:


He'd still be there.

Hope Rageh Omaar is okay, i haven't watched the footage though as i really don't want to see the guy struggling when he's clearly unwell.

Sounds like he’s doing OK now. They gave an update at the end of tonight’s news, saying he’s recovering at home after being treated in hospital.

Maybe Dan Poulter can spend a few months hand wringing, showing remorse and explaining how he actually cared about the public at large the whole time, before moving into a nice comfy role on a podcast or as a consultant....

Wait, that is actually the plan? What a colossal banana split.
