You're right some meat eaters do abhor the practice so they don't eat it. Others never have because it's so expensive - attack the meat-eaters or the wealthy but don't blanket-bomb in the hope of garnering support for a philosophy most people have no time for. And as for targeting a French restaurant for serving a quintessentially French dish and trying to organise a boycott - well I find that more distasteful than foie gras, veal and sow crates. ETA: *sow crates* - not the Bill & Ted philosophy guy.

You're doing this just to annoy Strafer aren't you? *sniggers*

Did she refer to him as "MY Pretty!"?

Forced Rhubarb?

I was taking the piss because picking on a high end item is deliberately obscure and at the same time attention seeking - check out the farming practices that give rise to the cheap pork in the local supermarkets around here and you will see that foie gras pales into insignificance. Bacon sandwich? ETA: As a Vegan Tom - why DID you pick on this? I mean what meat AREN'T you against?

Help! My laser's been set to stonner by mistake - will this affect my running?

I find it a little bland TBH and, like milk-fed veal, lacking in taste and texture. Rose veal and proper chicken liver pate are more my cup of tea. Oh, and a castrated calf on toast.

Although - referring back to OP - this DID get a guffaw (guffaw-let?) and was glad I wasn't eating soup. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/mancini-to-buy-entire-arsenal-squad-for-a-laugh-201107184087/

I think it's more a grabbing of the wrist in a kind of "What does the nasty man want Daddy!!??" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-15r9zHjg8

It's a warning as to what happens to cabs when they venture sarf of the river.

However unfunny the Mash might sometimes be (and I usually find something to smile about even if I don't guffaw) it can never be as unfunny as today's pie-chucker-in-chief. This is Jonnie Marbles (apparently) - he is NOT hilarious (he is a dick) but will probably get a guest spot on Alan Carr now that he's managed to get himself part-illuminated by the glare of the Murdoch Spotlight, and people say satire is dead.

Now that 'Jonnie Marbles' has managed to get the committee falling over themselves to say how courageous Murdoch and clan are for sitting there - when is it NOT a good idea to pie someone? (And don't ever get in the way of Murdoch's missus - she was in the guy's face while police were still reacting with the traditional "Uuuh...?") ETA: pie attack -

Look on the bright side... Wednesday are on too!

Don't fall for it Katie - I see him in the bushes by that thread's entrance waiting to pounce. Have you no shame Doc?

Those posters editing in a frivolous manner to provoke intrigue will be hunted down and lounged, blue bin or no blue bin. It's just putting on airs. *puffs self up and prepares to edit*

99p?! Out of the question. Oh, is there a supplement? (If you could make it Hunstanton I may reconsider)

Rats are always interesting Net, I am left wondering if the 'Blue Recycling Bin Stolen' thread will prove more interesting than 'Untaxed Clamped Car' thread. *Waits for Brendan to finish with the fork*

...tock...

tick...

Have you ever tried swatting a wasp with a Kindle?

That's not just a taser ... that's an M&S, rhinestone encrusted, monogrammed taser.

Rumour is they saw the name of Oprah's production co. and thought this was the female version. Infant/Sunday school is gonna be fun - (sings) "If you're Harper and you know it clap your hands..."

Bless you Ivydale - there are precious few innocent little souls like you left and we should treasure you while we have the pleasure of your company... though it begs the question what on EARTH you are doing listening to and responding to a cellar dwelling geek like me? I think you've got a little crush dontcha? *draws cellar curtains, puts on foil hat and scans internet for conspiracy theories*
