Anyway I keep on reading the title of this thread and thinking it must be about to a new course offered as part of a finance degree.

Oh Christ I slay me.

No.

Ask me if I'm an orange.

I'm an 'omage to Brendan Beham innit.

Most ?immigrants? in Britain come from countries where Britain was considered just a part of the international network they were in. Coming to Britain is no stranger than people from Britain going to their countries, which they have been doing for centuries. It has less to do with coming to reap the benefits of some milk and honey society and more to do with cultural and political ties and often convenience. It?s a bit rich when people who historically were too frightened or useless to be the ones to branch out further than the white cliffs try to claim some sort of carte blanche of ownership over an island that is just a part of a wider international community built by other people.

If people are really that idiotic that they think it matters David Cameron definitely wins at being ugly and talking like a twt.

Which is ironic considering that fact that unions were formed originally in order to protect people from exploitation by private employers. You would think you could trust the state not to exploit its workforce. You would think.

Oh well, people are cunts. Go figure.

If you rent the place it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain it to a decent standard. If the marks are from general wear and tear the landlord should have the place painted for you. It?s what you pay the cunt for. If you have stuck a hammer through the wall or something then it is a different story obviously. What I?ve done in the past is tell the landlord it needs doing, agreed a budget, arranged a decorator myself and sent the bill to the landlord.

Funnily enough there is a certain resemblence, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Vlad_Tepes_002.jpg

but perhaps not so well in their cups to have misplaced their under-crackers.

Oddly enough I knew that. But didn't the head of the HRempire have control over appointing officials within the church and there was a bust up over it?

Which is not entirely the same thing as a pack of camels.

I used to be constantly hassled by the buggers at my old house. One in particular would routinely shit on my front doorstep. Since I moved to the country I?ve only seen one in 6 months.

Funny, I thought freedom of religion was generally considered a human right. Adherence to Catholicism is entirely optional so their teachings, no matter how unpleasant, cannot by definition be an infringement of human rights. Now if we were talking historically about the Holy Roman Empire say or about modern Islamic countries where the state and the church are one in the same thing it would be a different story.

On that note I hope the good people running my pension fund have taken advantage of the market slump.

Well not up until just then.

Robert Peston has commented quite well on it, http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/robertpeston/2010/09/cable_i_love_business_really.html This may also be the time to point out that if the likes of Cameron get their way objective journalism from people like Robert Peston will be sidelined by fox news style propaganda.
