I think we may just have to accept that a lot of journalists have facial blindness.

'You may remember him as Dirty Den from Eastenders, but you'll never believe what Leslie Grantham looks like now!'
They’ve had a steady supply of Horsemones for this transformation into a Gelding
@TheBreadmonkey What Leslie Grantham looks like now.
Strange to think that his fall from grace - having a consensual wank on a Zoom - would barely have even registered these days. Oh he's done a video wank? So what. Haven't we all? I'm doing one now in my meeting about budget forecasts. So is the FD. Why, sometimes I've done as many as six video conference wanks before breakfast. Bring back Dirty Den, I say. All is forgiven. We no longer kink shame. And anyway it turns out there are a bunch of guys who have been upto much much worse the whole time and we put them in government, so you can carry on doing your acting or whatnot. It's like my old grandpappy used to say - a finger in the mouth is better than an island full of children.
Had it really caught anyone off guard we would still be callin' it doin' or havin' a Toobin. But it didn't. So we don't.
@HCBunny @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote it's a shame Bob Marley's dead (for multiple other reasons than this) cos he could've released a Zoom based, top half only music video called Toobin'
@ASprinkleofSage @HCBunny @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote
We've finally gotten ahold of video of that fateful New Yorker Zoom call!
@ASprinkleofSage @HCBunny @Nickiquote
We're Toobin' in the name of the Lord, oooh yeah
@HCBunny @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote
we're Toobin, Toobin
I wanna Toob it with you
we're Toobin, Toobin
and I hope you like Toobin too (or I'm gonna get fired again)

@TheBreadmonkey This, from legal journalist Jeffrey Toobin’s Wikipedia page, is not ideally how you’d want your Wikipedia page to be organised.
@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey It's a tough call, whether to put the Zoom call under Career or Personal Life. So it makes sense as its own section.
@lazysupper @TheBreadmonkey His problem in this respect is that it’s the only big thing he’s done wrong, otherwise it would be tucked inside the now-standard “Controversies” section.

Lol. Once again I find myself wondering if I'm wired different to other men because I would never even consider this as an option. There seems to be so many stories of men caught wanking in unexpected situations. Like..... atop a speeding vehicle or..... on safari. Or during a karate tournament. Just do it more normally, men! Not everything has to be a fuckn competition. Oh you did it up the Eiffel Tower? Or during a blizzard? Well done. You get an award for best wanker. We never see stories for extreme wanks by women. I fear I'm getting into territory I'm not totally comfortable in now and feel I'm painting myself into a corner and that I've talked about wanking too much. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. NO MORE WANKING CHAT. LET'S ALL JUST PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND GO BACK TO OUR LIVES.
@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote two things:
1. What happened to the find tradition of MPs accidentally offing themselves with a stranglewank? That's a trend that should be brought back for 2026.
2. I made myself laugh the other day whilst idly thinking of names for Star Wars Sith Lord baddies and landing upon "Darth Titwank", which has just made me giggle again simply by typing it.
@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote hate to say it but if you're painting yourself into a corner it might be time to go get the mop
@TheBreadmonkey Apparently in that new Wuthering Heights film, Margot Robbie has a wank on a moor, a feat not seen in cinema since Laurence Olivier’s Othello.

@TheBreadmonkey I mean, yeah, but considering he actually murdered someone I think he did alright, cancel culture wise.
Oh did he? I take it back then. That is a bit steep even for nowadays. At least for an actor. He could still be a billionaire or president of the world or whatever.
@TheBreadmonkey He killed a German taxi driver when he was a soldier stationed in Germany. He was spotted by Leela off Doctor Who, Louise Jameson, on a prison acting scheme and was encouraged to act when he got out. One of his first roles was in Resurrection of the Daleks.
So he at least served his time.

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey BRING BACK FORT BOYARD YOU COWARDS!
@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote He’s a grand national treasure.
An awful lot of the photos claimed to be “unrecognisable” are new photos of people who were only slightly famous 45 years ago and you absolutely wouldn’t have recognised anyway.
Some of them are of former child stars and it’s like they’re claiming ignorance over the fact that children age into taller people who can have more body hair and different body shapes than when they were 8.
Some of them are of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most recognisable people in the world, including in those photos you are showing me of him at age 77 or in costume for a film.
I really think you might have had a stroke or something, you should definitely get that checked out.

He is a master of disguise
@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote Why have you posted a photo of Danny Trejo in response to a post about Arnold Schwarzenegger?
