Do you really not vote spendius?


Are you kidding?

On my tour of duty in the Outlands I saw enough money squandered to buy everybody in the ******* country fifty thousand ******* pencils each. And I only have one pair of eyes.

Controlling government expenditure, as in fastening pencils to the wall, seemed something of a silly idea after that.

I believe in the art of juxtaposition.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of them have claimed for Vaseline and Ever Ready XXX Long Lifers.

Did you see that rocket go up the other day. £1.4 billion it was. It's to bring you pics of where you all came from don't you know?

Oh!! I forgot. It's also looking to see if there are other life forms like us.

The possibilty of which I think to be infinitely remote.

@spendius,
Yeah, well. It's the drop in the ocean argument isn't it.
I think i'm going to waste my vote next year with a token vote to the green party, since the tories are going to get in anyway.

Do you know I didn't realise until now that the bnp has policies to send the descendants of immigrants back to their 'native countries.' I just watched the political broadcast and it was moronic.

@The Pentacle Queen,
If they had any sense they would go back with alacrity on their own account.

Read a joke in the paper today:

A man and a woman find themselves, due to a booking mixup, sharing the same railway sleeper cabin.

So to save any awkwardness, the man says "You get into the top bunk, and I'll get undressed outside"
When he comes back in, the woman complains of being cold.
-"Okay, I'll fetch you a blanket", he says.
She says, "Couldn't we just pretend we're husband and wife?"
-"Okay, fair enough," comes the reply, "fetch your own bloody blanket then."

I read this one Aidan.

After a moment of quite repose
It's tum to tum and toes to toes
After a moment of sheer delight
It's back to back for the rest of the night.

@spendius,
No, no- you're mistaken- I haven't.
I do not drink red wine. I don't like the slightly bitter
flavo(u)r of the tannins, which I am informed enough to know derive from the skins and/or stems of the grapes.
Some people really like that flavo(u)r - others don't.
I favo(u)r white wine or lager, for your information.
I, however, DO have a sense of hum0(u)r whether I've imbibed alcohol or not Mr. Spendius.

@McTag,
Whatever happened to Steve4001 , or was it 4000? I haven't seen him around
for quite some time, and frankly miss him. I always liked his posts.
