My mum bought me an Atari for about my 13th birthday/xmas - it was £100 back then and an enormous sum.
I was hooked on computer games for years - and clocked/High Scored arcade/pub machines. I avoid them now as I know they can waste days without me noticing. I do it with TV shows instead.
Not sure McIntyre is a Tory either - he doesn't seem at all political and I can't find a single source online saying he is a Tory. He may be but I think Plato's post is conjecture
He is a Spurs supporter.

Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind · 4 mins4 minutes ago Next to the room in hell where you're stuck listening to the jokes of politicians is another one where you get the politics of comedians.
His Dad was a trade union branch sec and his Mum a very vocal Labourite who was always talking about it. I think my other half was conflicted - he was told to be a Labourite from birth - then met Tory Me and became an entrepreneur. I'd have him down as a Blairite if I had to guess.
My parents never talked politics - it was just a perception that you voted Tory if you didn't want to be an oik and had a work ethic. My mother desperately wanted to be upper middle-class in every way - despite growing up from grindingly poor Irish farming stock/married a grocer's son.
Marriages conceal a lot of the unexpected to the outsider and that is why some marriages/ partnerships are a complete puzzle to many of us. Unlikely matches carry on successfully and apparently ideal matches founder. In some parts of the UK then the wife voted as she was told, but where I came from I did not hear politics discussed by my parents (in front of me), but my mother had firm political views and my father was a member of a political party.
Perhaps the awareness of your different political backgrounds meant that by mutual non-verbal agreement, political matters were best not discussed. Did he actually vote?
I've never heard of Andrew Lawrence before, but his Facebook page is great:
"Andrew Lawrence 8 hours ago The reason there are no right-leaning comics in this country is because whenever one has the balls to stand-up, they become the target of a witch-hunt. Where there should be balance, there is, terrifyingly, censorship."
Quite right. But I would like someone inbetween the Boyles/Brookers and Jim Davidson/Bernard Manning.
A brave, well-informed intelligent centre-right comedian who can satirise to pieces the sanctimonious left-wing comics, deny them the moral high-ground, and tie their tongues in knots through creative wit and riposte.
I'd go and see them every night.
David Mitchell is too intelligent to be the lazy'right-on' type . Again I don't think he is politically inclined yet he is obviously politically aware. I think above all he likes things to be logical
David is exactly what Victoria tells him to be. Who could disobey Ms Coren-Mitchell and survive?
Chingford and Woodford Green have pinned a blue rosette on a donkey time and time again. Can't see UKIP pushing out IDS.
I don't know, Stella Creasy won a ward for Labour at council election at the height of Blair mania, bullied her way to mayor (of Waltham Forest) and promptly got voted out next time... She had to settle for MP in the Walthamstow seat - and those idiots would vote for anyone wearing a red rosette.
Citing Rush is just risible. Why not Alex Jones whilst you're on. We're talking about mainstream current comics who get most of their income from this genre - in the UK.

The issue with comedian's who self identify as right wing, is that typically the comedy has been aimed at those who aren't in much of a position to fight back, the poor, minorities ect. Rush Limbaugh tried comedy in his 1990's TV show, too frequently he came off as a bully, as have Manning/Davidson ect.
Whereas left wing humour has typically been about mocking those in power be it big business, politicians ect.
It can be done thought, PJ O'Rourke is pretty amusing and also right wing.
Calm down! And I did say PJ O'Rourke does manage it actually!
When you're thinking of decent Right Wing comedians sometimes you have to come up with slightly obscure answers because there aren't any decent ones!
Mr. Away, kids today don't know they're born. When I were a lad, it used to take 30 minutes for a computer game to load from the cassette tape.
[That sounds like a piss take, but it's actually true].
Today, the PS4 permits shareplay, which means (if you subscribe to some service or other) a friend of yours can remotely play for one hour (can be renewed indefinitely) a game you own on your PS4, provided both are connected to the internet. Even if the friend doesn't own that game.
I don't own one, mind, I just think it's incredibly impressive.
Edited extra bit: of course, if a Sony exec follows pb.com and wants to reward me for my endorsement, I would be willing to accept one and/or some money as thanks.
not only did it take 30 minutes it took constant fiddling with the volume control to load most programmes (for some reason!!!) A slight slip of the volume control and programme crashed on the ZX81
I remember seeing many cassette decks with a tippex mark on the volume control to show the optimum level
My bet on the Tories in Rochester is proving to be one of my worst bets ever. I thought I had value at 4-1. They are now available at 7s.

Perfect storm at the GE?
Rochester is turning into a reverse-Newark.
Newark was the only Tory by-election victory this Parliament. Also interesting that Tory vote-share has decreased in every GB mainland by-election this Parliament.

Yes, 'tis a matter of taste. I remember Our Mutal Friend as being pretty good, like a whole string of classics production in those days (not least the original and unbeatable Forsyte Saga, but also Vanity Fair and several others) and I liked Emmerdale Farm before it dropped the Farm and went a bit tabloid.
As with music, I think people tend to like what they grew up with. Nowadays, I don't have a TV (no time really) and just catch up with the occasional thing on iPlayer.
"Eritrea is the North Korea of Africa. Situated on the Horn of Africa north of Ethiopia and Djibouti, the East African country essentially is one of Earth’s largest open-air prisons.
Under president Issaias Afeworki, the Eritrean government has achieved the dubious distinction of consistently scoring lower on press and political freedom rankings than even North Korea. And its system of almost indefinite forced military service—in ways indistinguishable from the widespread detention of political opponents—stands out as particularly cruel."
