I feel very strongly that I should not have to work on any national day of celebration as we all emerged from the same African savannah 150 000 years ago and are therefore all one people. We should all be out celebrating in the streets in the traditional way with rain, whiskey, men in skirts and the tossing of large wooden poles.* *please let me know if I have missed out any important clich?s

I've never had a problem getting a cab to East Dulwich. Does it happen often?

It is always good when the real issues that we have to deal with in life get discussed in the press. Is it wrong to dye sheep? http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/fashion/story/0,,2218246,00.html

I?m fucking intolerant. I?m intolerant of oppression, discrimination, exploitation and cruelty.

Toes, feet it was all over the place man.

Quince marmalade?

Are they doing anything at the CPT? I may head there if I am back down from up north. If I?m still up north it is Bury high street for me. If I?m not back by Jan 3rd it?s because my feet are still stuck to the alco-pop covered floor in O?Neil?s.

Read about it in the News of the World guv.

Was it the one involving HRH and the quince covered sex gorilla?

People can think or believe what they like and be damned. It is when they hurt others by putting their beliefs into practice that I get angry. Or use their beliefs as an excuse to indulge their own vile aggressive nature.

I'll get off my soapbox now and write a limerick or summin while my blood preasure goes down.

But one has to be embracing of all cultures surely. Even if they endorse the oppression of women and rape? Well apparently yes, according to that lobotomising, barbiturate of an interpretation of modern liberalism that is so popular. (Apologies for my causticity but growing up in Africa gives one a slightly jaded view point on these things.)

All shops with big, chunky plastic signage are ultimately owned by Satan Mockney.

Cool. Will be there around 7:30. My other half may join us later on after her pilates class.

There is a plasticine effigy of Woden on my monitor that disagrees with you. I have just set alight to a chocolate digestive as an offering to him to appease his wrath.

Nah,I was holding back. This is a public forum after all.

"Brand Champion" - i.e. Knows how to change the font in Word.

Right! Who threw that?

So the press will have us believe that sex and drugs are somehow scandalous or amoral and affect a person?s ability to hold a post of office. In my experience it is completely normal for most people to indulge in at least one and preferably both at some time in their lives. So what about this? We will consider someone a suitable candidate for office if they are at the top of their profession as say, a barrister (i.e. fighting for the highest bidder regardless of the morality involved) or in the military (i.e. killing people to order regardless of the morality involved) or as a career politician (i.e. backstabbing, taking bribes, cutting corners etc regardless of the morality involved). The activities that they engage in as part of their careers are morally reprehensible but accepted as what needs to be done. We somehow gloss over the fact that it takes a person who is a bit of a bastard to do these things. This is why, thankfully, we aren?t all at it. But do we want to be ruled by bastards? So why, if someone?s idea of a good time is taking a peyote suppository, being strapped naked to a tomb stone covered in quince jelly and beef drippings while punters in gorilla suits arm-wrestle each other to have a go, is it an issue? I can?t see how that could give me any evidence from which to make a judgment on what type of person they are or how they feel towards their fellow man. Actually, fuck it. If people are stupid enough to eat the shit that is fed to them by the newspapers they deserve to be ruled by bastards.

I really hate B.C.E and C.E instead of B.C and A.D. Let?s just sort out our uncomfortable perceptions of the past with stupid euphemisms. Why not burn the history books while you?re at it. It makes about as much sense as: Most of the days of the week are named after old Germanic gods. Today is Thor?s day. Thor is the thunder god of a historically dominant culture and is not fully representative of our current society so any further use of Thursday is clearly discriminatory and must cease this instant.

What pissed me off is as soon as it broke over 3 quid mark it was suddenly license to bump it up to 3.50 like the extra 50p didn?t matter.

?3.50 is too much for a pint in my opinion.

"The human race" when what you really mean is, "arseholes" ?Got out on the wrong side of the bed? when what you really mean is, ?Hates the effing world this morning?
