Your astrological week ahead for November 8th, with Psychic Bob

Aries, March 21st–April 19th

‘Ratajkowski? Now that’s one Emily I’d like to get my dick in, son!’ you say but, the lads being largely ignorant of 19th century American poetry, not one of them gets it.

Taurus, April 20th–May 20th

‘Let’s talk about sex, baby. Let’s talk about you and me.’ On reflection, not the right way to open up the PSHE lesson. You live, you learn.

Gemini, May 21st–June 21st

Hands trembling, you type ‘INSERT CCOIN’ and then wait, mustering all your faith that your god will come to correct it.

Cancer, June 22nd–July 22nd

This week, electrify your friendship group by randomly texting ‘are you sure that message was meant for me?’ then switching off your phone.

Leo, July 23rd–August 22nd

“Sorry lads, it’s going to be ten minutes before we can get on the pitch for our game this morning. Yeah, aristocrats duelling to the death with flintlock pistols again.”

Virgo, August 23rd–September 22nd

A storm in a teacup would be f**king scary, though. And yet no one would take it seriously.

Libra, September 23rd–October 22nd

Two trains set off from stations exactly 90 miles apart. The first is travelling at 45mph, the second at 30mph. And I’m supposed to care?

Scorpio, October 23rd–November 22nd

Show your barber a photo of George Clooney before you start. It’ll cheer him up to see an attractive man before he gives you the same haircut you always have.

Sagittarius, November 22nd–December 21st

Before there were pump-action shotguns you had to blow them up with your mouth in between shots.

Capricorn, December 22nd–January 19th

Not even Martin Scorsese can spell Scorsese right first time. I have an autographed Goodfellas poster to prove it.

Aquarius, January 20th–February 18th

Yeah, slight mix-up means Stoke City are number two in the pop charts, Olivia Dean is the sixth-most deprived area in England and Hartlepool is in the Sunday Times bestseller list. Non-fiction.

Pisces, February 19th–March 20th

“Now look, this is serious and I don’t want you all shouting it back at me this time. I genuinely need to know which one of you has got the funk.”

The Archbishop of Canterbury on… being glad James Corden's career in not-Britain is going well

WAKING with a hangover so dehydrating I am forced to drink an entire fish tank of water, including the fish containing vital fluids, I reflect upon the events of the week. 

Having given confession to Tony Blair some weeks ago as an ecumenical experiment, I was contacted by Keir Starmer’s office, requesting that he also be allowed to confess his sins. I agreed, and the prime minister knelt in his place in the confessional box, gauze dividing us. 

‘Bless me, Archbishop, for I have sinned,’ he began. ‘I confess that in the grandeur of high office, I refer too infrequently to my humble origins. My father, for example, was a toolmaker.’

‘No, he owned the fucking factory, he ordered other people to make the tools, you twat, but carry on,’ I interjected.

‘Okay. Er, my other sin is that I am sometimes too focused on delivery. Delivery for British families and workers. This is my confession.’

‘That’s it?’ I hooted. ‘What about lying your fucking way to the leadership of the Labour party, living in Donald Trump’s arse, flag shagging like a Nazi and arming a fucking genocide? Say two Hail Marys and throw yourself into a septic tank full of fucking boiling goat’s semen, you utter cunt!’ Upon which I blessed and dismissed him.

Expunging the memory, I take a light breakfast and peruse a periodical. Therein, I read that Ricky Gervais has issued a series of mock adverts for his own brand of vodka, his original ideas supposedly having been rejected by Transport For London. One showed him telling Tube users: ‘Don’t jump – you’ll make everyone late for work, you selfish prick.’

Fuck me, emboldened by an army of gurning online wankers, you get worse and more smugly anti-PC with each fucking year! By the time you’re 80 you’ll be the mental equivalent of a three-year-old kid screeching ‘I WANT MY GOLLIWOG!’ over and over! Suicide, it’s all a larf, innit, what are the woke mob up in arms about? You’re such an edgelord! You’re on the edge alright, the edge of becoming the worst kind of tedious, fake-guffawing, self-congratulatory, reactionary bore. Do what you should have done years ago and change your name to David Brent by fucking deed poll!

This week’s American elections, including that of New York’s first ever Muslim mayor, saw the Democrats make big gains. By contrast, the conservative group Moms For Liberty saw all of their 31 candidates lose completely. 

Christ on a crack pipe, tell you what, there’s a shaft of light in the dark, oozing, radioactive cesspit of modern fucking politics, eh? ‘Moms For Liberty’! You mean liberty for you to say whatever awful shit it is you believe about abortion, trans people and so on, not liberty for people to explain what a ghastly bunch of fascist harridan morons you are, using the Devil’s implements known as ‘facts’! Fuck you, you appalling bunch of weirdly-spectacled, Gary Larson medieval mentalists!

Jimmy Fallon and James Corden spontaneously took to the stage at one of New York’s most exclusive nightspots, belting out karaoke versions of standards by Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett including My Way and I Left My Heart In San Francisco

You know, in a world where actual fucking talent is rewarded so tear-jerkingly unjustly, that an impervious wodge of pure braying twatdom like James Corden should have become a fucking star makes you weep for both humanity and the fucking catastrophic idiocy of America! You could always tell which were the bits you wrote in Gavin and Stacey as they involved no fucking humour whatsoever, just people shouting and having a fucking party! Still, it seems no amount of being rude to waiters is putting the Yanks off you, which is good. Your fellow Brits are backing your career 3,500 miles away 100 fucking per cent!

Finally, it seems that Dick Cheney, vice president during the George Bush administration and one of the architects of the war in Iraq, has died. 

At least a million dead because of the lies you pushed about weapons of mass destruction! Like any sane person I don’t believe in any of this God or afterlife shit, we’re not fucking shepherds washing our socks by night, we’re fucking 21st century adults, but I wish there was a fucking hell and that a personalised boiling cauldron was being prepared for you because you’re one of the worst fucking people of this century! People rage about Trump but he’s fucking Abraham Lincoln compared to your death toll! Let’s hope they’d got the barbecue going for your gonads, you respectably evil cunt!
