Personally I couldn't give two hoots: I rather like those butter ads. But selling out is still selling out, innit. It's not like he gave the money to charity, it was for himself. Or perhaps Jah, you see the new PIL album as somehow for the public good..?

Errr.... no. Was just saying. I'd rather listen to him than say Robbie Williams who got a massive ?80 million recording contract and was so successful with it he had to rejoin Take That who are an even bigger pile of poo than he is.

decay and rot are part of the most basic biologial cycle for reproduction. The UK is moribund, the cycle has not moved for hundreds of years. as anyone with an understanding of ecology will agree, this is a dangerous state of affairs.an idiot family line that have been responsible for tens, maybe hundfeds millions of deaths over the centuries remain in power. God Bless them.


You bring forth the constitution issue - we have no constitution. We do however have a de fatco constitution in the spiderweb of laws that have evolved. Like the dogmatic despotism of the Catholic church rules, the opaque nature of such a labyrinth construct ensures the public will rarely accomodate wehere exactly they stand. It also ensures that the filthy regime of favour and wealth can continue unhindered.



The rot needs to be kickstarted again. get the cycle restarted and chop down the dead wood to make space for our descendents - we cannot do anything about our horrific, despotic, murderous, racist, rotten, corrupt, rapacious past, we can try to do something for the future. You support this jingoism, you saction the deaths of millions and laugh at their suffering.

John Lydon as a 'struggling artits' on this thread is making me chortle muchly..


he's mainly a millionaire property owner who lives in LA (as he has done since the late 70s), I suspect that he pays no british tax nor is a user of the NHS. He just flies in to collect easy money for adverts and celebrity shows and occasional Sex Pistol 'shows'...filthy lucre indeed, and good luck to the fella

sorry to pis on your chips, but the property developer thing is a falsehood - IIRC, it came out as he was bullshitting before the JUngle Celebrity thing. His Wife Nora I believe was independently wealthy.

An example of Royal continuity

Nothing changes, despite the lick of paint that these scum have received to jazz up their PR over the past few years.

Cool story bro.

Should I be a Royalist?


I have enjoyed the Celebrations of the Queen?s Jubilee, but now unable to take part.


I was born 1931 during the reign of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936 for 25 years.


The next in line was to be King Edward VIII, who chose to Abdicate in 1936 after just 325 days.


King George VI was the second son of King George V, to be Crowned King from 1936 to 1952 for 15 years.


Elizabeth daughter of King George VI was crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 and still reigns for sixty years.


Three Kings and a Queen are the only rulers that I have known, having no other at the head of the country it is impossible to judge if they were or are the best for the country.


Having seen and heard of the Head of other counties where a Fuehrer, Dictator, President, Tsars, are the Rulers, I am inclined to think that I was lucky to be born here.

Good drills Harry.

You don't *need* one, but I'm struggling to come up with a better alternative for a post that has pretty much zero real political power, but generates an enormous amount of publicity for the UK and just proved it's overwhelming popularity over the last four days.


But I'm open to suggestions.

I think you missed the 'overwhelming popularity' bit. Pippa Middleton's arse I may have conceded, but that's really just another branch of the current royal family, isn't it?

Yeah. Semi-serious anyway. What is the point of a display of our former military prowess? What has that got to do with the Queen's Jubilee?

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
