  1. Piers, I think you've previously posted strips from Get Your War On but now it's animated. And fecking hilarious.... "The new American flag will be a white flag but with a picture of a burning American flag on it" Heh.
  2. I hereby challenge you to find me one example of a child-killer given a more lenient sentence than someone convicted of tax-fraud. Or you can just retract your ridiculous hyperbole and we can carry on as adults.
  3. Plunder. "Where beer does flow and men chunder" is the 2nd/4th chorus.
  4. I'm finding this quite disturbing. What you are effectively calling for is the physical abuse of another human being or state-sanctioned murder of criminals. Either way, the unsubtle glee with which it is being proposed leaves a rather unpleasant stench. There is no doubt that the people responsible and convicted of this, most appalling of crimes will deserve, and receive, harsh sentences. But calling for these sorts of vengeful, sadistic acts is not any sort of advert for civilised society.
  5. To be fair, Almunia's not looked great this season.
  6. Indeed.Who would have thought the line "....vegemite sandwich" would require the appearance of aforementioned sandwich so viewers would grasp the concept? Answers on a postcard marked "Aussies are two cans short of a six-pack" please.
  7. The goalkeeping situation for England at the moment is a strange one. There is a lengthy list of possible to successors to, essentially, David Seaman's jersey. Yet none really stand out head-and-shoulders above the rest. Some of the performances from the below between the sticks this season have been excellent though.... James Robinson Kirkland Carson Green Turnbull Hart But to choose one for a consistent England place seems problematic. James won't last much more than another year so seems nothing more than a stop-gap solution. Robinson was dreadful but seems to have found a new lease of life at Blackburn. Last weekend he nearly stopped Chelsea single-handed.
  8. Come on, not even your national anthem: "I come from a land down-under"

    a joke

    In ancient Greece this passed for the height of humour: Someone needled a well-known wit: "I had your wife, without paying a penny". He replied: "It's my duty as a husband to couple with such a monstrosity. What made you do it?" ? An Abderite sees a eunuch talking with a woman and asks him if she's his wife. The guy responds that a eunuch is unable to have a wife. "Ah, so she's your daughter? " ? A misogynist is attending to the burial of his wife, who has just died, when someone asks: "Who is it who rests in peace here?". He answers: "Me, now that I'm rid of her!"
  10. Wouldn't say no. And I have a PC so no probs there.

For some reason, I just don't believe you. My rendition of "There's no one quite like Grandad" on the other hand is something to behold....
  12. Good stuff. Do you have that on DVD Piers? Or have you been watching it on FX?
  13. You could merely eliminate each venue after they have been visited.
  14. Or a poll. Admin managed one in the past. Or some sort of voting system.
  15. Of course. And it's shocking. I'm appalled that another human being could do such a thing. But I'm not going to indulge in captial punishment fantasies or simply dismiss the incident as the work of monsters. There must be a causality that needs to be investigated. But people's attention spans are now so short that that side of the story rarely gets an airing.

You haven't seen him when his XBox crashes unexpectedly have you? Or that Brand/Ross thread? To be serious for a minute though. Just because some people (myslef included) aren't prone to rash outbursts of hysteria, or indulge tabloid-led public lynchings do we have to be branded as somehow weird? Or worse, "sympathisers" with criminals. No one is excusing any crime but without trying to rationalise things or understand why they happened society doesn't ever progress.
  17. Not to mention, Keef, the numerous cases of abuse that are no doubt prevented by social services every week that go unmentioned. Well put, mate.
  18. Excellent stuff. I also have an Albarn-esque side project going with the world-music sampling Kampong Chhnang. Our debut album, To Have Done It, will feature guest vocals from Toure Ali Khan and Grace Jones. Expect bongos galore. Fopp will sell 3 copies. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3140/3009044335_d36036e5c6.jpg?v=0 You knows you wants it.
  19. I'll grant you this...you don't see many of them swimsuits in the local municipal pool.
  20. Ooh very good Piers. I'm seeing euro acid jazz with funky undertones dealing with relationships, heartache and cigarettes. Alex Petridis is a big fan but your album sales remain stubbornly in cult-level numbers. NEXT!

See, it works. I can see you now. You are a Canadian alt. country 19-piece collective who have been described as "Lambchop on a moosehunt" rockin' out to melancholic folk-tinged melodies. Blissful. Ooh....ta for that FF nod. Just bought myself two tickets.
  22. I don't like Star Wars but this had even me laughing.
  23. Interesting and, weirdly, eerily-works-thing stolen from another forum, which probably stole it from another. As Mr Snow would say - don't worry! It's just a bit of fun. Step 1 - Go to Wiki Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. Step 2 - Go to Random quotations The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. Step 3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Put it all together and you have your genre-defying, inconceivably ground-breaking debut album. For me, Jo Whiley will be breathlessly coming to a TV advert near you saying "THIS, is the stunning debut album from Sermon of the Roar of a Camel. Who Are Still Undecided. OUT NOW!
  24. I have indeed. And own their album. And very marvellous it is too. Currently in my stereo no less. Thanks though. Any other recommendations welcome. *looks in Mockney Piers direction*
  25. I can't get enough of this folk-pop stuff at the moment and these guys are as good as anything else I've heard. (Unfortunately I'm not sure what track this is) I particularly enjoy the fact that they used to be called 'Woodpigeon Divided By Antelope Equals Squirrel' but decided it was too unwieldy! They are described as a "sort of semi-acoustic Arcade Fire or a full-band version of Sufjan Stevens" which is about right.
