Me, I like the jazzzz. It's like bathing in marbles.

Typical lefty arrogance. I suppose now you are suggesting that it is all some sort of nonsense, much as you think of everything else in the world no doubt, created by the simple to simplify things? We have a system of categorisation which works so pick a side so that people know what to think of you. Next you will be suggesting that the human brain works as it does by sorting things into categories and that our entire cognitive functioning and perception of ourselves and the world is due to a billion, billion little presumed categorisations and that consequently we really need to think about how we think before we think about using thinking to come to things like ?opinions?. That type of rubbish will never a discriminating man make. Your suggestions are that of a dissident who is at best petulant and at worst a threat to the system we have worked so hard to achieve.

The WI don't get all their money from jam.

Why oh, why oh, why do I not drag myself away from this infernal procrastination machine and do some bloody work?

Is that just like a normal FuckHouse but slightly cleaner and you pay a little bit extra?

WTF IS SYTAWFH?

You now live in Surrey.

Had you not found the boobs yet?

Ah I see so debt can only dealt with by committed and sustained investment in public services and infrastructure carried out by a right wing government.

May I for a moment interrupt you all as you call one another stupid? I feel no need to get involved in that particular debate as I tend to agree with everyone on it. Getting back to that nice graph that Huguenot posted. I?m no history expert but isn?t the significant and prolonged fall in national debt from the early 50s until the 70s over the period when the country was investing most heavily in building and growing the Welfare State, that most heinous of the left wing horrors that has blighted this good country over the last 100 years? Coincidentally there do seem to be some nice big spiky bits when we were fighting wars. Wars are great because they aren?t all lefty and shit. We get to be tough and sensible and all the machinery, flag waving and death makes us feel like we very big willies indeed.

for the cricket or just generally?

Oy vey

Black poo and broken bones are all very amusing but they have not answered my questions now have they? Well? Have they? eh? I want? Nay I demand! Science! n? shit.

Fast food resturatns and guns. And thumbs.

2 bottles of red contain about 20 ethanols or ?units of alcohol? to use the term that the BBC uses to make us feel bad about ourselves. The equivalent beer ethanols would be about 8 or so pints and the equivalent vodka ethanols would be about 1 pint. After 2 bottles of red I want to talk to next door?s dog about philosophy. After 8 pints of beer I want to listen to NOFX and kick things. After a pint of vodka I want to fuck on a crashing plane. There is no similar difference in my moods when I eat a bunch of grapes as opposed to a loaf of bread or a potato. It is all very perplexing.

A couple of things have been bothering me lately. Firstly: Why do different types of booze make you different types of drunk? The active ingredient is ethanol. Normally to the same sort of percentage depending on which class the beverage belongs to, i.e. beers, wines, spirits or rubbing alcohols. So why do the effects differ so greatly? Wine drunk is different to beer drunk is different to whisky drunk is different to whiskey drunk is different to absinth drunk is different to tequila drunk is different to gin drunk is different to vodka drunk etc. ad nauseam. So you have 40%, 15% or 5% ethanol or thereabouts in a drink, then probably quite a high percentage of the remainder will be water and the rest is just left over fruit juice and trace elements picked up from barrels and dead bugs. How can that those left overs contribute so significantly to the type of effect the ethanol has? What the fukis going on there man? Secondly: Why does beer taste so much better out the bottle than from a keg or a can? Does the aluminium make it taste crap or does the glass make it taste better?

Very good.

Bollicks it is. Is it?

I do it to annoy people who drive over 70mph.

I wish we would invade countries that are easier to be intellectually condescending about than Afghanistan.

Well we seem to have gotten that all sorted out then.

I have new boots.

Yep and, ?Can?t be fucking bothered? is a perfectly good excuse for me leaving this stinking pile of legal papers on my desk and going to the pub.

What really fucking irks me is when people refer scornfully to laziness as if it isn?t a perfectly valid excuse for not doing something.
