I could get out the Oxford Shorter. But I can't be bothered.

The history was one of domination and rebellion, in case that passed you by.

Oh, I don't know. Spain has the whole of South America to call on.

Russian pikeys? I like the idea.


We actually have a lot of Polish peeps round these parts. Who are all very lovely.

I think the empire will die.


Just wondering about what to call them, in the meantime. To raise a laugh, like. BBW, I expected you to be more on the case here.

That's an arithmetic epic FAIL.


I notice you don't hang out in the Drawing Room. If you did, you might welcome some light relief in the Lounge from time to time.


The cheese-eating surrender monkey meme was massive; why not want to promote equal inventiveness around another target? Had a sense of humour bypass recently?

I don't carry a gun, nor am I overweight, or overbearing for that matter, am rather reserved, perhaps too clever for my own good and do not like burgers (parents were married when I was born incidentally). ;)


But I don't live in the States, thank the Good Lord.

Yup, it's when the prayer mats come out that the cat is out of the bag.

As I said early on, kind of, cheese-eating surrender monkey is a characterisation that may or may not have elements of truth. But it's got enough truth (the French are famed for their cheese; the French as a nation do not by and large go to war; but could someone explain the monkey thing to me?), and enough pithy somethingorother to make it really catchy.


So I suppose I'm looking for something that represents the US on the grand scale (something that many people do, something they are famed for producing), plus something that represents the nation/government angle. And perhaps some kind of animal ;-) All rolled into one.

The French not go to war?

Wow that's like saying the pope doesn't wipe his arse in the woods.


And like Brendan says, long been reknowned for their prowess for a very very long time.

But you hide behind one ill thought out strategic defence line......

They're actually pretty good at it too contrary to comon (well not common more like just Anglo Saxon) belief.



You'd have thought the Anglo Saxons would have had pretty good reason to believe the French were quite tasty. What with having had their arse handed to them on a tapestry, and all.

That was very funny Ted.

    • The regulator has approved 2nd class deliveries on alternate days, excluding Saturdays. So Monday, Wednesday and Friday on week 1. Tuesday and Thursday on week 2. Don't know when it starts but in theory it will be better than the current haphazard service. Earlier this week I received bills and other items which had been in the post for 2 weeks. Definitely not the fault of the posties.
    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
