THE BRITISH THREAD

Sorry to interrupt the spendy/mathos show...

Even though you are a pair of interesting fockers (not)

It's time to inject a little of the feminine into this thread:

Did anyone see the programme on Rabies last night?

Very interesting!

There are times smorgsi, when you totally baffle me with your amusing issues!

Maybe the animals were covered in chanel or had polka dot knickers on, I am lost for words! :wink:

Thank Christ for that!



Halloween party for the kids tonight - I'm making terrible pizzas and eyeball jellies as I type...

I've got a kettle of boiling tar all set up on the roof.

That's the Halloween spirit Gus!

...anyway, it's all your bloody fault for exporting such a money making, corporate, meaningless, irritating, boring, annoying stupid thing that is Trick or Treat!

It's totally American - and it stinks!

We BRITISH have got better things to do than constantly answer the door to snot nosed urchins demanding money with menaces, while there is good stuff on the telly!

That's why we are indulging them in a party - kids like to be scared shitless once in a while - and a party keeps 'em off the streets.


Cheers!

Hope I don't get Rabies...

It would be really difficult to apply mascara whilst thrashing about!

I have to go for a lie down now - I'm quite exhausted after that flurry of posts!

...all quiet on the suspendy front? Must be doing his community service.

Ms smorgs-

You went missing. My self and the one with the dyed locks and the nice toenails were just keeping your thread going while you were doing whatever you do.

You don't "interrupt". You're the one on the pedestal emanating glowing rays which these moths on here are circling around with their eyeballs popping out.

Wasn't it polite of me to choose that metaphor rather than some of the others I know. You see how civilised I am.

Yeah what's feminist or feminine about rabies? Spendy could do you two big paragraphs on that, though, I expect. Talk about shooting yourself in the Myvanwy!

Mac, I would be arranging a flight home on the next available plane, if I were you.


Your obviously home sick.


PS Don't forget my pressie! :wink:

It might be better if he stayed where is. One less leftie.

One less Guardian reader. Every little helps.

Can you imagine a socialist being pampered by the stewardesses on the plane like a Roman Emperor with his slaves. All that yessirnosir upyerarbottlesirthankyousir. And drizzling pollution all over the poor and helpless in their hovels.

Did you know that workers on the Government demand side can win an election without bothering about workers on the supply side. We've bloody had it. Lefties squeeze till the pips squeak. And expect to be praised for any shite they say or write as a natural entitlement.

I bet Mac's on a bargain flight.

That means everybody he employs has to work for less just like Bradley Hardaker.

Todays Telegraph mentioned a lot of your concerns regarding CO2 emission from planes etc was bollocks. It claimed the human race was spewing out the wrong stuff in it's breathing habits.


There are far too many of us on the planet Spendi, what are you going to do about it?

If you lot budge over, I'll squeeze in.

Embrace askesis.

I thought you knew you gump.

It's not its breathing habits. It's its ego props. There's a lot of inferiority complexes out there.

Some experts reckon it's a good thing because it helps defuse the rage. The inflamed ego can't tolerate its insignificance so it has to go barging around letting everybody know how important it is. Now the stock markets are addicted to it. We're all goosed.

It has me in fits. It has the dear old earth by the scruff of the neck and it's wringing it.

Tarah darling, if you and Vicki want to squeeze into my shower cubicle with me, I'll definitely move over.


Spendi, I am assuming you have kids? If you have and they have kids, your probably accountable for quite a large number of CO2 providers!

Do you feel an element of guilt?

Why would a rich old bugger like you want a pressie from a poor Guardian reader like me?

Home sick, no I'm not, but Welsh girls' names....well there's something about them, isn't it?

Did anyone read the autobiography of Anthony Burgess, Little Wilson and Big God which is marvellous by the way, containing the line (and author's personal experience that ) "The Welsh are full of sex"?

Mathos please note how the apostrophes are used in the above.

On my Continental Airways flight we had two stewardesses whose combined ages must have been more than 110.

It would have taken a Spendi to concoct a fantasy out of that.

McTag, Sophia Loren and Joan Collins' ages would total near enough 150 - and a lesser man than Spendi may well fantasise about them. Probably far more than Posh Spice and some of the younger scrawny models.
