Conservative politician in being a smug, pompous cunt with no regard for anyone "other" to him, shocker! What did you expect? I mean, it?s not like he?s a person or something.

IRA ninjas sound fuckng hard. Do they use composite bone and wood bows which they fire towards the enemy while retreating?

It's going to be shit now that the pirate has left.

I left work at 4:30 yesterday because I heard the trains from Victoria were a bit arse buggered. I got back to Surrey at 10:30.

If you can work from home most employers will let you do that. Shirley? Or else you could just say you're ill.

Why not? Just make sure you add a fukoff big spoiler to the back for "handling" I improve the handling on my 7 year old astra by wearing driving gloves. Works a treat.

When you're shooting people do you ever fire a shot into the ground by your feet and expect this to magically reload your clip?

See what I mean.

The public transport system cannot handle the snow. This happens every year but still people seem surprised by it.

You can actually do that in the realy world too you know.

Found these from the Indy today quite interesting in a, things to say to embarrass your wife at dinner parties sort of way from The Independent 30 November 2010: ?A controversial scientist claims he can shed light on human behaviour. But not everyone will like his theories, says Jeremy Laurance Why do beautiful people have more daughters? Because beauty is more important for a woman than a man, according to evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa. Why are most suicide bombers Muslim? Because they don't get enough sex. Why are liberals more intelligent than conservatives? Because liberalism is "evolutionarily novel." The London School of Economics researcher and author of Ten Politically Incorrect Truths about Human Nature is accustomed to defending his provocative assertions against outraged critics. He acknowledges that some of his ideas may seem "immoral, contrary to our ideals or offensive". But he insists they are true and supported by scientific evidence that he has continued to collect since his book was published in 2007. "Like it or not, human nature is simply not politically correct," he says. Now, in a study to be published in Reproductive Sciences, he has adduced new evidence for what he describes as one of the most celebrated principles in evolutionary biology which explains why attractive people have more female children. So how does the research stack up? 1 Beautiful people have more daughters Known as the Trivers-Willard hypothesis this states that if parents have any traits they can pass on to their children and that will be better for one sex than the other, they they will have more children of that sex. A man's value as a mate is largely determined in evolutionary terms by his wealth, status and power, according to Dr Kanazawa, whereas a woman's is largely determined by her youth and physical attractiveness. "Physical attractiveness, while a universally positive quality, contributes even more to women's reproductive success than to men's. The hypothesis would therefore predict that physically attractive parents should have more daughters than sons," Dr Kanazawa writes. Figures from the 1958 National Child Development Study of 17,000 babies who were rated for attractiveness by their teachers at age 7 and were asked at age 45 for the age and sex of their babies bears this out. The unattractive children were more likely to have sons, according to the Reproductive Sciences study. 2 Liberals are more intelligent than conservatives A study by Dr Kanazawa, published in Social Science Quarterly in March, based on the same data showed that young adults who identified themselves as "very liberal" had an average IQ of 106 while those who identified themselves as "very conservative" had an average IQ of 95. "The ability to think and reason endowed our ancestors with advantages in solving evolutionarily novel problems for which they did not have innate solutions. As a result, more intelligent people are more likely to recognise and understand such novel entities and situations than less intelligent people, and some of these entities and situations are preferences, values, and lifestyles," Dr Kanazawa said. Humans are evolutionarily designed to be conservative, caring mostly about their family and friends. Being liberal and caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated strangers is evolutionarily novel. So more intelligent children may be more likely to grow up to be liberals. 3 Most suicide bombers are Muslim Suicide missions are not always religiously motivated. But when religion is involved it is always Muslim, Dr Kanazawa says. Why? The surprising answer is that it may have nothing to do with Islam or politics, culture or race. Rather, it has to do with sex, or in this case the absence of sex. Writing in Psychology Today, Dr Kanazawa said the distinguishing feature of Islam was that it tolerated polygyny ? men taking two or more wives at the same time. By allowing some men to monopolise all women other men were left out. The prospect of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for any martyr to Islam then created a potent cocktail. "It is the combination of polygyny and the promise of a large harem of virgins in heaven that motivates many young Muslim suicide bombers," he says. 4 Men like blonde bombshells (and women want to look like them) Blonde hair is unique in that it changes dramatically with age, Dr Kanazawa says. Typically, young girls with light blonde hair become women with brown hair. So blonde hair is a signal of youth and men who attempt to mate with blondes are unconsciously seeking younger (and hence healthier and more fecund) women. 5 Humans are naturally polygamous Polyandry (one woman married to more than one man) is rare but polygyny has been widely practised throughout most of history. In societies where rich men are much richer than poor men, women and their children are better off having a share of the few wealthy men than having an entire poor man to themselves. In practice, most industrial societies tend to be monogamous because men tend to be more equal in their resources than their ancestors in medieval times. 6 Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce A man's value as a mate is largely determined by his wealth, status and power whereas a woman's comes mainly from her youth and physical attractiveness. A father is important to his son in ensuring he inherits wealth status and power but he can do little to keep his daughter youthful or beautiful. His continued presence in the family is important to the son but not as crucial to his daughter. 7 What creative geniuses have in common with criminals The tendency to commit crimes peaks in adolescence and then rapidly declines. But this curve is not limited to crime ? it is also evident in every quantifiable human behaviour that is seen by potential mates and costly (not affordable by all sexual competitors). In the competition for mates men may act violently or they may express their competitiveness through their creative activities. 8 The myth of the male mid-life crisis Many middle aged men go through a mid-life crisis but not because they are middle aged. It is because their wives are. Dr Kanazawa says: "From the evolutionary psychologist's perspective, a man's midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife's imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career and thus his renewed need to attract younger women." 9 It's natural for male politicians to risk everything for an affair Powerful men have always married monogamously but mated polygynously. Men strive to attain political power, consciously or unconsciously, in order to have reproductive access to a large number of women. 10 Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist Men always subjected each other to abusive, intimidating and degrading treatment at work. It is part of their reaction to competitive situations. Men are not treating women differently when they harass them. They do it because they are not discriminating, Dr Kanazawa says.?

It?s just that the further North you go the more high streets start to look like a collision between a potato truck and a branch of Ann Summers.

Either way a bunch of cunts are going to make money and normal people still aren't going to be able to have home to raise their families in. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/letting-agents-to-out%11bastard-estate-agents-201011253289/ Which is all very funny except if you're one of the victims.

Sounds potentialy painful. Mix ups like that are one of the reasons I try not to get dressed in the dark.

Dozing on the sofa and in that state halfway between sleep and awake was trying to ctrl + X logs from the basket and ctrl + V them onto the fire.

It's not as important as big knockers.

I hope they can still afford a bit of sun cream. They're going to get terribly burnt in Australia.

Arse to that. 'British' foods blow goats*. Guns, lots of guns would secure you passage to Africa where the employment of guns, lots of guns, would sort you out a piece land with its own water source. Granted, I've stolen this idea from somewhere but it is preferable to cabbage. *Pies and beer excepted

As an aside a country like the UK, still essentially a maritime nation in that it relies on imports to feed itself, is particularly vulnerable to an international oil shortage.

Giving the royal family free run of Buckingham palace and paying them a stipend of a few million quid a year plus expenses in order to perform their constitutional duties would represent value for money. Allowing the Crown and select group of aristocrats to own almost 70% of the country does not.
