  1. His missus says it's either that or a brown paper bag.
  2. Match officials wearing red to noise up the Ukrainians?
  3. I can scarcely believe this, but I'm having to drive later tonight, so wont be able to have a drink until about 11.00pm. F#ck Wales losing 2-1to Poland btw.
  4. Must be about time the No. 10 press office came out with some guff about them "not getting the message across..."
  5. Aye. "Ho, ho mo leannan Ho mo leannan bhoidheach"
  6. One lion, fine. Three lions? GTF.
  7. Aye, because set against the rest if it, being a Scientologist would be a step too far.
  8. It is occasionally mentioned but far too little attention is being paid to the disgraceful level of unemployment among 5 to 12 year olds, due to the ridiculous health and safety restrictions on them working in mines, up chimneys and crawling around under looms. When, oh when, oh when will the government DO SOMETHING about it!?
  9. Better make sure it's the right way up. Folk get stroppy if it's not hanging properly.
  10. Hang on... You mean it's possible for politicians to be elected without bending over and spreading them for gun manufacturers? Even more reason for Americans to doubt that Canada actually exists and think that it's just a made up country in a commie comic.
  11. Good question. My thoughts would probably focus on the fact that Thatcher couldn't hold the support of her own party so it would be hard for the party workers to convince the voters. When Major came in, is it not the case that most folks' reaction was "errrrmm.... Who?"
  12. To be fair, you have to hand it to the Tories. They are steadfastly loyal to the leader right up to the point when they think he or she won't win, then they chuck aside that leader like a dud betting slip. These polls are showing Labour ahead if there was a general election today. If there was a general election today, a new leader would have been in place for at least 6 months and there would just have been a tax-cutting budget.
  13. I'm making no predictions for the weekend. Too many unknowns, especially over injuries. Even assuming we win tomorrow! Having said that, if we get to the weekend and pump Wales rotten, I'd regard that as a brilliant few days.
  14. I really don't think that there's any reason to quibble about what is or is not material for the. w**k fest. The whole jubilee bollox with its limited edition one eighth sovereign coins including, bizarrely an oddly shaped one, featuring Queen Victoria (from Tristan Da Cunha), flags, tea towels, cardboard cut outs etc etc ad utter fekkin nauseam IS a w**k fest. Sycophancy and "I know my place", on steroids.
  15. What he and his wife do in the privacy of the boudoir is a matter for their own better judgement.
  16. I wonder which story most of the good people of the relevant area will be more interested in?
  17. Nah, you're alright. (FYI, not all those who would prefer not to have a monarchy are "seething" . )
  18. I haven't seen the figures, but given that the usual Tory mantra is usually along the lines of 'pay off debt, save and invest' British governments over the duration of the exploitation of North Sea oil and gas have been acting like lottery-winning alkies at a beer festival.
  19. I'm trying to find out if, according to the bookies, there is a better chance of Hearts winning the Europa league than there is of Jo Swinson being PM but I haven't found odds for the Jambonians yet.
  20. Can't think why... He's one of their most vocal supporters.
  21. As I understand it, the NRA banned guns from their conference. Kind of odd that they seemingly trust the average Joe in the street more than they trust their own members.
  22. You're surely not suggesting that the Republicans in congress don't have empathy or sympathy for the victims of mass shootings? Why, as they sit there in their churches, I'm sure they think of little else. Anyway, the voters get the politicians they vote for. As long as the electorate are content to vote for these anti-gun control politicians, they are actually more guilty than the politicians who are only doing what their voters seem to want.
  23. Just as well that Ministers aren't responsible for the actions of civil servants... oh, no, wait a minute...
