Calling Cards of Morons


Recommended Posts

I saw this argument come up on the aforementioned Courier Facebook page earlier, but is Fort William named after William of Orange? I thought that was an urban myth.
Most likely.
Of course the Gaelic name is An Gearasdan, The Garrison which aptly points out the existence of the occupying force there.

Exactly. The gaels should f**k off back to the islands, that's Pict land.

I’d heard a few different theories towards the name but thought the William of Orange one was an urban myth. It is quite a Catholic area. Seemingly there is (or was) a campaign a while back to change the name of the town to ‘Invernevis’.

One of those ludicrous marches went down the street I live on in Dundee once. It was a really pathetic sight of mostly old areseholes, mostly all portly, with a couple of lads who looked to be late teens. In total there were about 12 or so of them. They had a big police escort. 

It was just sad. They weren't getting the attention they so desperately craved (one of the major points of these dickhead marches for scummy bigots).

Never seen or heard one here since.

The last 1 to KO round my way caused me a massive detour.

Went out not realising it was on about 5mins before it started. When I returned a lot of the roads I need to get home were closed so I had to take the long way round.

As if I needed another reason to hate these lowlife losers

Was in Morrisons just now and saw a fucking cretin walking along with his trolley, devouring a roast chicken from the deli counter, now ive seen me occasionally nibbling a few grapes or strawberries from a punnet of fruit ive picked up but ripping a cooked fucking chicken to pieces while walking around a supermarket then presenting a carcass of bones with a barcode at the till to pay for it is, in my opinion the behaviour of a complete fucking moron. 

I have a habit of breaking the end off my baguette (insert K.Williams here) whilst I’m wandering the aisles with my trolley. Once, I was particularly peckish and presented the cashier with a couple of inches of bread inside it’s long polythene sleeve. She looked at it for a couple of seconds and then enquired why I didn’t purchase “a full one”.

To be fair to them, anybody participating in any form of march is an attention seeking arsehole.

On the subject of arseholes prancing about our streets, silents discos in Edinburgh are getting it tight from the NIMBY-tastic EOTA. "Idiots" bulldozing people off pavements. Worst of all, they are not even silent. 

Get the snowploughs out of hibernation and clear these rabbles off our streets.

Is it aye?

It's funny that we need a march to celebrate something that benefited us in 1688.  Do we do marches for everything that's benefited us? I look forward to the Great Penicillin March on September 28th where we can celebrate the demise of harmful bacteria.

Much more ludicrous than a few blokes celebrating Parliamentary democracy.

Uh, Britain's Parliament didn't become a democracy - that is, where the mass of adults had the vote - until 1918, except in those parts of the British Isles where the apprentice boys slammed the gates shut, when they eventually attained universal adult suffrage in 1968 (in the face of opposition from many of those same folks who went on loyalist marches, and who had been rigging the Northern Irish political system through removing proportional representation, gerrymandering and property qualifications for 50 years).

Whatever the Apprentice boys were doing in the 17th century, and whatever their marchers are celebrating today has bugger all to do with Parliamentary democracy.

The Bill of Rights was signed shortly after the relief of Derry and established parliamentary supremacy over the Crown,  the right to regular parliaments, the right to regular elections and the right to freedom of speech within parliament.  That there was later an increase in who had the right to vote and other parliamentary reforms makes no odds:  The Revolution of 1688 was all about parliamentary democracy.

When I present my couple of inches it never ends well either.

And Catholics got to pay double land tax. Whoopee!
