If you wanted all the hassle with noise and hunting animals why didn?t you just have a son? I believe you get tax credits for them.

There's only one option really, the new pizza place on Melbourne grove. El Mirsomethingorother. The pink one.

Quids after years of having phones with loads of stupid things on them that I never used I have now managed to get one so simple it doesn?t even have a camera. I had to pay ?5 more than you though, but I think it was worth it.

Mockney, the opening post is perhaps the most intelligible you?ve made since you got that dam thing. I?m still a bit vague on the meaning but taking into account the iphone autocorrect mishaps I?ve seen in the past I assume by, ?Killer apps, flight control leagues, top tips, this is the place for it all.? You meant, ?Come on chaps, fighting to control my legs, top tits, this place has it all.? and I?m wondering why I wasn?t invited.

Well I for one think there shouldn?t be a difference, there are plenty of adults who could do with a good slap too. Dealing with them is a daily test of my dedication to pacifism

I would demand to know why they aren't Angel Slices.

Oh don't get your cardigan in a twist.

Hang 'em all.

I think NOFX put it best in the song, What's the matter whith kids today? There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood They always listen to their moms They disregard civil disobedience They'd rather do what they're told They don't drink, or fuck, or fight They sit home, and read, expand their minds There's something wrong with the kinds in my cul de sac Their always goin to church They dress well and they're Speaking articulate They show eachother respect They're never late, don't smoke or break rules They eat right, study hard They like school There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood Or perhaps they were just being cantankerous old fuckers.

Bloody kids.

They were given to me by market forces. I gave some guy ?5 he gave me some pills. That?s capitalism for you. I do hate bankers but I love the way a silk tie feels against my cheek.

High.

Hang 'em all!

CI Have you ever thought about that fact that we use Roman script to write in but we ditched their numerical system for the Arabic one as is it just so much less cumbersome. While the Roman System works very logically, almost like an abacus, the Arabic system relies more on symbolism which simplifies it.

Yeah I know. Hence the general failure of communism. I think if you had to make it work you would have to raise the floor (to use some good ol? new labour terminology) buy increasing minimum wage and employment conditions but do away with the other trappings like social housing. People would still work to have a big house in a nice neighbourhood, wanky car ect. but those at the bottom should have the means to provide for themselves (capitalism fails on this in most countries). I also (If I was boss of the world you understand)wouldn?t put limitations on personal wealth but there would have to be controls on the massive accumulation of land by individuals or companies. Anyway it?s just a hypothesis. I think lots of people close their minds to ideas becasue of deep seated ideological prejudices.

It?s not an entirely unworkable situation (admittedly one of many viable ways of running a country) with a few modifications and a break from the idea that unions and political parties are needed for some kind of leadership. The approach is that of ideological rhetoric but so is the idea that it?s ridiculous and will bankrupt the country. You may as well just be responding to a propaganda poster of Marx by drawing devil horns on him. There is no reason why a modern state can?t take the stance to run all essential industries and services and run them with accountability to an elected parliament and therefore the electorate. There is also no reason why social inequality can?t be addressed by free education and healthcare and liveable minimum wages. The biggest danger to socialism are parties and unions because these are just vehicles of power that the self serving bastards (who in a capitalist society will end up on boards somewhere exploiting people) will end up running and exploiting the situation.

How does that sit with Britian's military strongarming across the globe?

What did Johnson do?

Why would anybody want to watch television at 12:30pm anyway?

I must confess I have no idea what this barney is all about. Who did what and when?

I can?t help picturing horrendous nail gun injuries.

I would say it is slightly more acceptable than running without any trousers on but only slightly.
