Mao Cap

Should get a gun and do some meat preparation course instead if you're that worried. Personally I'd probably off myself immediately after the collapse of civilisation if I thought I had to live off f*cking beans for the rest of my life. There's a pretty good veg garden at my parents' house, and it's hard to grow stuff on the windowsill of a fourth-floor flat, so I suppose I'll have to be a saddo and move back in in the case of fire, flood, famine, war etc. Oh, the shame

Cousin is getting married in September at Woburn Abbey (the poshest bit of the poshest little town I've ever been in, popped in there to have a look round on the way back from an away game a few months back and ended up a bit selfconscious because I seemed to be the only person in the whole place wearing trainers on a Sunday afternoon). Can't even guess how much it costs, dozens if not hundreds of people coming, shuttle bus from the hotel, all very fnacy, I think it's lunacy TBH but will be a good ****-up so I'm looking forward to it

Nice bit of rage porn for a Saturday afternoon Faaaacking rot in hell yew shkam, good on the lad wot done it, should give me ten minutes alone with him, etc. etc.

I'm sick of all the ****ging that goes on at the back of the stand too. Another sad indictment of Broken Britain, etc. etc.

Possible but unlikely, obnoxious fash bastards are two a penny but they all have their own unique style

Necropost! Anyone remember "Deckard"? Originally went by another name I think. Bisexual former police officer with a penchant for far-right views and being generally obnoxious (so could still fit seamlessly in today, ha). Posted obsessively for some months, got in some disagreement with Essruu made like he was going to take up an offer of a "chat" but then shat it and faded from view quite quickly afterwards, as I recall?

Never a particular fan of the things, because of the objections a lot of people have (large numbers inappropriately placed, speed only one factor in accidents, more traffic officers using their own discretion would be a better investment, etc.) but they were certainly better than having nothing at all and giving the Clarksonite arseholes free rein to splatter people over the road. Doesn't bode well for road safety, as it's not like the new lot are going to be putting any other or better measures in place.

Today - nerding it up at War and Peace festival at Paddock Wood with the lass. BIG TANKS!! RARRRRRRR!!! Saturday - Mate's birthday, BBQ then getting pished in Camden. Sunday - Not sure, see what various folk are up to.

That statement manages to be embarrassing in three different ways! Firstly it's just plain inaccurate. Say what you like about our education system, but even the thickest of 10-year-olds know the rough chronology of the second world war; Jesus, apart from the Tudors it's the only bit of history most English kids have a half-decent grasp of! To have an Oxford graduate get something like that wrong is unbelievable. Secondly, the grovelling "special relationship" guff spouted by UK politicians (which always has a slightly clingy, pathetic air to it) is becoming outright cringeworthy. The traditional dynamic between the two countries, with "WASP" Presidents with ties to the British Isles and a lingering (and entirely misplaced) sense of cultural inferiority on the part of the Americans in relation to us, passed into history years or perhaps decades ago. For a long time we have been just another European country to the people and government of the US; they just don't consider us all that important, for the very good reason that we're NOT that important! Hence there's no need to do all this gay sucking-up trying to save a "special relationship" which doesn't exist. Thirdly, there's little reason to bring the second world war into a speech on modern transatlantic relations at all, aside from maybe a brief mutual pat on the back for the sacrifices made by GIs/Tommies during the war and how the fight against Nazism brought the nations closer together and all that sort of thing. It's just not relevant, and like I said our establishment really needs to move on from this obsolete "playing Greece to their Rome" bullsh*t.

Top class, Dog!

We send newspaper coverage to nosy clients, basically. Naturally I dislike the usual cretins and arseholes who everyone knows - your Littlejohns, your Heffers, your Monbiots - but wittering female "lifestyle" columnists particularly get my goat. The one currently irritating me the most is this stupid ***** - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1204624/I-dont-know-I-Lorraine-Candy-reveals-really-like-working-mothers.html Every single column is like that. RESIGN FROM YOUR JOB OR GIVE YOUR KIDS UP FOR ADOPTION IF ITS SO BAD, YOU WHINGING COW.

Fair point I suppose, everyone needs a rage outlet with no football on. Fortunately my work involves reading all of our country's fine newspapers, so I multi-task by shouting at knobhead tabloid columnists all night and then come home all chilled and with no need to spend time on more annoying stuff.

Not watching TV programmes featuring/presented by them could cut their annoyance factor by up to 100%.

Was thinking more of the way in which it was hastily made up as propaganda (hence the crap tune and uninspired lyrics, no time to come up with anything better) to rally supporters of George II against the Jacobites in 1745-6. Or could have been George I in the 1715 uprising, I forget

I like all the alternatives. Anything instead of that servile Hanoverian crap is good for me.

Interesting place for ground nerds, one of those old school "athletic grounds" with an oval shape. View's not that great but a good clubhouse (which serves proper beer, as I recall).

This law is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

****ged her once yesterday afternoon, collapsed in an exhausted heap for 12 hours, then woke up and started poking her with your boner until she agreed to a second go, IMO

Bringing on Adam Smith for Elgar? Bullsh*t, that.

Whatever, I can't be arsed to go into one of your endless tit-for-tat arguments. They're murderers, in the same way that the IRA or UVF are murderers.

Christ knows what shooting unarmed civilians/finishing wounded people off/shooting them after they found them hiding in a stairwell was if it wasn't murder. Funny sort of self-defence TBH.

Another milestone for Ulster. Great to see.

Me and some friends were being ABFs in a bar near Piccadilly Circus filled with French fans for their match against Uruguay on Friday, and they were lapping it up and giving as good as they got. All in good fun and never a hint of any real malice. People need to chill, only noobs and ******s get all arsey over internationals even if it is the World Cup.

That's nothing. I saw a letter a few weeks ago arguing that it was a waste of taxpayers' money keeping premature babies in incubators. Thought I might have mis-read it, or it was a very un-Mail like attempt by the newspaper to parody itself, but no...
