What's wrong Spendi, you appear to be making irrational attempts to resurrect your silly ID thread on here?


We don't really need all the assertions, and maybe's and could-be's here do we boy?


Chris Rock will be looking for you soon if he hears your particular stance on comedy, won't he!

What for? I can't imagine there being anything new in it. Catch 22 covered every base years ago.

Anyway- that's satire not comedy.

I'm presuming of course but I can't see what's comical about the W on T.

Comedy relates to the predicament of men in relation to the obvious intellectual superiority of women and their ridiculous attempt to deny that superiority.

I just hide away from it these days. Running priapism through the hoops is as easy as shelling peas.

Or, as Germaine Greer said- "Men are like carrots--cheap and plentiful and easy to cook."

And she's on telly more than you mate.

Just you put on your coat and hat
And get yourself to the laundry-mat
And when you're finished doing that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat

I like that guy, tho' he's kind of hard to follow. Some idioms are not familiar. I expect Americans have similar difficulty with Billy Connolly's delivery.

Anyone here suspect the Israelis are going to put out a deliberately second strength team against Russia?

One Israeli sports journo I read said they hate England because of British academic boycott of Israeli universities.

The Sun today quotes Ubarov as wanting Russia to win.

Then of course we have "our" Russian-Israeli connections in the likes of Roman Abramovich and Avram Grant.

Steve McClaren v Guus Huddink...David v Goliath but Goliath's got the big catapult.

I think that's a bit far-fetched, Steve, that rumour. I hope so anyway.

BTW is the academic boycott actually in place, or is it just a proposal at the moment? I knew they were debating it.

Getting airplay here in OZ is the fact that Britain is looking for a new slogan.

Catchy national slogan for England

The US has "for liberty and justice for all", France has something about brotherhood. What about the UK? Amongst various possibilities nominated by the public are "Musn't grumble", "With honor, with justice, with chips;" and to me, the best of them all: "We came, we saw, we conquered, we gave it back. Frightfully sorry."

only trouble is I cant actually find a reliable source.

May I suggest: "At least we're not American"

Have you heard the latest security-minded proposal? Mandatory searches at train stations, sports gatherings, shopping malls?

Facking hell.

And the security staff will probably be illegals. You couldn't make it up.

I never go anywhere so I'm not bothered.

What about churches. Cathedrals at Midnight Mass.

I think we lost it when ITV was introduced.

Just where do you think a pratt like Blair hatched out of?

What if you rush up to Piccadilly Station and you're dying for a pee? Bad enough that you've got to pay 20p to go into the Gents there nowadays.

Now it'll be "Never mind that Sir, don't you know there's a war on, let's have a look inside your bag".

Shocked

Ahhh, three whole years on A2K...

Three years of giving people the benefit of my superiour brain.

Three years of examine the evidence on both sides of debate, and making informed choices based on that evidence.

Three years of reasoned argument, restraint and self control.

Three years witty, thoughtful and insightful posts.

Three years of regular, informative and polite banter across a wide range of subjects, with all members of A2K.

Three years of selfless counselling for members in emotional need.

Three years of tickling spandex's testicles, with an emu's feather, whilst wearing nothing but a pink tutu and rubber gloves.

One of the above is a lie!


Thanks for the memories, wandeljw

kiss kiss.
