  1. Sorry I missed this I was having a few pints at the Legion after an evening round of golf.
  2. Listen, they're cunts up there. No question. They aren't as much of an utter shower as you lot are down here but cunts none the less. They try.
  3. As someone who has supported them for the last 8 years (not that I?d describe myself as a ?libdem? but because I see then as the best option in a bad bunch) I don?t feel let down. They aren?t the labour party light and they aren?t socialist. They do however have a social conscience and an ethos of equal opportunity which is where they differ from the conservatives. We were heading for a tory government anyway and I?m glad that the libdems had the stomach to get into bed with the conservatives and at least force a few good things into the policies they were going to role out anyway.
  4. That's not how taxation works. May as well ask how the unemployed should pay for the NHS.

Mitch. If I get this correctly it is proposed as an alternative to graduates paying their tuition fees by means of student loans. In which case it will be better for them as it is money that they pay now anyway, they won?t be paying interest on debt and it will be going back into education. (theoretically) The fact that it is proportional to earnings is controversial but there is no reason why people who choose to work in healthcare or education who already end up earning half or less than those who choose activities like law or finance should pay the exact same, making the difference proportionally more. They certainly aren?t less intelligent or dedicated. In fact experience tells that the opposite in normally true. This may actually end up affecting me as I?m busy doing a second degree (in law) at the moment.
  6. A string quartet to play atmospheric music according to the situation I was in.

  9. Of course he isn?t (godresthissole).
  10. That?s one of those deep moral questions right there bruv. It?s like like the one like was it ok for the Rebel Alliance to blow up the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi?* I mean when they blew up the first one^ it was fully operational so would have only housed Imperial troops who were legitimate targets but the second one was still under construction so would have been full of all manner of civilian contractors and building staff. I?d still rather have a Bat Cave than a Death Star. What was the question again? *posed by one Mr Kevin Smith esquire (godresthissoul) in Clerks. ^In episode 4 or 1 or whatever it was that suddenly became A New Hope when it had always just been Star Wars. And what's with that anyway?
  11. Park Life - Blur
  12. La La Love You - Pixies
  13. Nope. But it is also the opening line to the song Stay Away by Nirvana.
  14. Actually, come to think of it, the ladyboys probably aren?t such a good idea. What I really want is a Bat Cave. I mean I?ve got the shed. It does have a computer in it and the wife seems to be coming around to the Alfred costume but it just isn?t the same.
  15. An Asian, an African, 2 redheads and a blonde. All DD or above.
  16. I?ve decided not to get into online conversations with right-wing arseholes who are unable or unwilling to see past their own self-serving prejudices and acknowledge that everyone should be given a fair go in life but rather try to validate themselves by seeking consensus that their own antisocial points of view are somehow valid or moral. From now on I?ll leave it for face-to-face discussions where at least I can just punch people when they start extolling the virtues of exploitation and subjugation as if they are anything other than criminal.
  17. Well the trick then is obviously to get one on a bit of flesh that is already stretched and wobbly.
  18. She loves you - The Beatles
  19. She's Automatic - Rancid
  20. she - green day

Surprisingly not Tillie but that?s South Africans for you. Minds like bulldozers. Pretty much unstoppable once set on course but they can take a while to get up to speed.

  23. So it has nothing to do with fat, middle-aged men with pasty shaved heads?
  24. So do you call the English potato heads?
