THE BRITISH THREAD II

@spendius,

The reserve price at the auction, as reported on the Northern News, was £3000.

Perhaps they could judiciously invite a private sale at a slightly less inflated price.
Or they could put them in a glass case and donate them with due pomp to a learned institute.

@McTag,

I found something a bit quirky tonight. That the kid, the drunk, the yob, who was stabbed to death in Colchester was described as an "A-level student".

I presume that with all the newsroom staff having been A-level students themselves they suppose that there is something particularly heinous about any such beings being murdered compared to fork-truck drivers say, or miners.

@spendius,

Why are you automatically assuming he was a yob? We've all been drunk before.

An A level student has some potential, so it's worth pointing it out.

@McTag,

So a Brit finally won a grand slam title.

You don't need to presume that. The newsroom presumption might be that an A-Level student might be expected to have more sense than to get into a knife fight which he might lose.

The Guardian letters page is full of stuff like that....why, for instance, are women described as "mother of three" of "37-year-old" when men are not referred to in that way.

Only by snobs.

I have been drunk on a large number of occasions in crowded pubs and I have never even seen a knife wielded in a threatening manner never mind to actually injure.

Mothers of three are the salt of the earth. A-level students are a bunch of lazy, idle, good for not muches being guided safely through exams in order to facilitate teachers and educational authorities to do their fatuous preening. I have taught enough to know. A small number are serious students but it is not a lot.

@spendius,

There's nothing to indicate the murder victim was carrying a knife himself. From what I've heard the party was gatecrashed, and he was stabbed trying to protect a friend.

What a windup. Outrage over anti-Thatcher T.shirt, but I can't find anywhere that sells one.

Although I'd rather have one that read Thatcher's grave.

All this hand-wringing and bloodletting over the Hillsborough case.

Yes, the police screwed up big time, but the victims were crushed by Liverpool fans, arriving late, liquored up, and out of control.

Should royal princesses be encouraged to get their tits out for the lads?

I don't think so.

I think we need to teach these French a lesson.

You should have added that there's plenty more where they came from anyway and showed us some real Mac-hismo.

Think of the fees though.

@McTag,

The main thing Mac is to be talking about tits in a serious manner.

Mon dieu! Royals have boobs. And perhaps they make sex to get babies. Shocked

@Walter Hinteler,

34 I reckon. Tops. Where's Mrs Parker-Bowels?

You have to laugh. The Establishment allowed the permissive society and it can't handle it. Free expression my fat arse!! All it takes is a side-ways view of one tit and confusion reigns.

I think they are paying Fergie not to go in Rustler.

I think the SAS should send a small squad over on the quiet to rough up that French magazine editor, with knobbly clubs.
Baseball bats, being smooth, are too good for her.

And as far as the "peeping Tom" photographer goes: what would he think if someone was lurking in the bushes taking secret photos of his daughter at play? He would want the police to get involved, sharpish.
So I think he should be killed.

@McTag,

Well--I do think that daughters bring out the protective instinct in men but once married off, being given away, they become wives. And choosing to be a wife who knows full well that there's big money, courtesy of prurient media consumers, in photos of her secondaries, requires her not to take her top off anywhere where she might be seen by anybody she doesn't wish to be seen by.

Suppose it was a provocative move Mac?

@spendius,

Provocation no chance, pure naivete I reckon. Maybe also joie de vivre.

@McTag,

And of course, how could one overlook this, the necessity of a young female person constantly in the public eye to avoid strap marks in the tanning process.

Who is joining my petition to have the photographer killed, and the editor seriously maimed, pour encourager les autres?
