  1. Is this the point where someone makes a joke about Scotland?
  2. And saying a word like fecundity slowly and in the wrong context can cause all sorts of trouble.
  3. I bet leafy villages everywhere are going up the wall with indignation.
  4. Why is there even an argument? A government uses its army to suppress resistance from its own people. In order to make a point they used heavy handed tactics and end up shooting innocent civilians who were standing up for what they believe in. The government then whitewashes over and tries to justify its actions. This sort of thing happens all over the world. This time (not for the first time) it was the British army killing innocent civilians. That?s not to say that every soldier in the British army is a murderer but neither is it some selfless saintly institution deserving of some sort of deification. To speak metaphorically of this situation it takes a real man to own up to when they have done wrong and a filthy coward or a bully to try to weasel out of it shout the odds. There really isn?t anything to argue about. Although the attempt to argue does raise questions about this slavish adherence to a prescribed way of thinking in which the men we hire to do our killing for us are always infallible and correct.
  5. Or, you know, do an image search or something.
  6. It?s a sort of rude version of yummy mummy. But really forget about it. I want to see this chap have a go at eating his own head.
  7. The England players visited an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "It's so good to put a smile on the faces of people constantly struggling and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto aged 6.
  8. Do you need a doily?

  10. Like one of these; http://www.blissland.net/SoundLab/Images/quarter-note.gif
  11. Why, what are Switzerland up to?
  12. That passage just takes everything that people found unpopular about Labour?s last government and promises the opposite.
  13. Unskinny bop ? Poison
  14. I think the term justice comes in regarding the implication of guilt upon the people who were killed. The implication was that they were engaged in terrorist activity, were therefore guilty and justly killed but now their names have been cleared as it were. Once again though it is not for us to say what the people who lost family members and friends should see as justice.
  15. I've heard of Rush ( is he still playing at this soccer thing?). Who is Kick?
  16. Fear of its effect on the peace process (which I can fully understand) aside would you not rather have the truth out than have armed forces and a government who cover-up or try to deny the shooting of innocent people?
  17. It took the South African government 34 years to properly admit culpability for Sharpville. The ardently right-wing, those with their heads in the sand and those who couldn?t stomach the implication that their ideology and blue eyed boys in uniform could possibly be wrong all said that there was no point, that they were scratching at old wounds etc. But when the truth was properly aired and culpability admitted it made a tangible difference. It didn?t change the past but it did make everyone feel like a weight had been lifted.
  18. I?m afraid it is not for you, me or anyone else but the victims to decide whether or not they should or will ?move on?.
  19. Norkage Adjective Of or relating to a nork or norks(noun) Verb To display norks (see also cleavage)

Was just about to post something on another thread about guns and bombs and shit. I will try to keep my head about me. I?m not sure about any specific nationality looking particularly equine but I have found that women who spend too much time in the company of horses start to take on their characteristics.
  21. Someone must have grassed you up. I doubt the council have poster patrols.
  22. Oh welcome back Ted.
  23. I had known (or at least known of) Mr. Stuart for most of my life, what with him being a friend of my parents, chairman of the rotary club, volunteer at the church, scout leader and general fine upstanding man of the community and all. A kindly accountant by trade I always assumed that he would take news of my romantic involvement with Kate in his stride. I was a little surprised when that day came. The day when he opened the door to the sight of my gormless grim. My surprise coming firstly from the fact that he was at home during the afternoon hours* and not at his office as I had expected and secondly from the pointed threats of very real physical violence which the mild mannered keeper of books spat at me before sending me speedily on my undignified way. It may have been my disheveled appearance or perhaps that in my younger days I had acquired an unwarranted reputation as a bit of a wrong?un. Although on balance it was probably because I was buried hilt-deep in his daughter at the time. *Me being nocturnally employed at the time.
  24. I love a good barney me. I don?t think I have the inclination to read the entire thread though. Who is winning?
