THE BRITISH THREAD II

The Sunday Times contains this -



Which exposes one of the lies told to justify the legislation on smoking. Of course smokers cost the NHS money. So do nuns. So does nearly everybody. Deaths caused by excessive smoking save the NHS money and those smokers will have paid plenty in.

What the NHS want, like all bureaucracies, is extra funds and less contact with the clients. In the same article about low birth rates there is this-



Front page headline from same paper-



Also front page headline-



In the two page spread on the floods this appears-



And crap food with spices.

"Cut-price diets" = greed.

If that sarcasm doesn't finish you off with the ladies we are further along the road to Luc Godard's chambermaid than I thought. You would have been tarred and feathered in the Courts of Love for that. He obviously thinks you should shift for yourselves. Sounds like you would be first into the lifeboat. A long way from Tom Jones indeed and he was a Brit.

Reward that girls and you'll be digging the roads and ditches.

Where are the Brits? Maybe some are on holiday.

There is to be a Bob Dylan documentary (a repeat, natch) on TV this week, for those Dylan fans among you.

(edit) Don't Look Back (1967) on More4 at 10 pm tonight.

Hello. Bob Dylan bores me to death.

Bet Eric Clapton is more your style D/P

Oh yeah esp. Derek and the Dominos.

Hey, did you hear about that Great White Shark spotted off the coast of Cornwall???!!!

Good choice D/P

Great white sharks (up to 7 metres) are quite common where I fish, see them every time. Presently the area is full of Great Southern Whales, a spectacular sight!

You luck bastard. Nothing spectacular round here. I once went crabbing in Conway. We must've been there for about 2 hours and didn't get a single bloody thing.

This is the place where Dutchy does his fishing, beautiful Port Lincoln, where the fish always bite, and you can watch the Great White Sharks and Whales at your leisure.

Ok stop showing off now.

What about those Huntsman spiders Dutchy?




Ever come across any of them?

Any number of spiders here but the redbacks are the ones to watch, particularly if you are using country dunny's , they hide under the toilet seat.

Can you catch Dutch Helmet Disease off them?

Spendi please don't mention such unpleasantries here, this thread is being read by an extremely high readership of refined ladies.

The only female I can see recently is bored by Bob Dylan because his stuff is above her head. And she is bored by a number of other things as well.

She also wanted to bet I was a tranny and wasn't forthcoming with any cash when challenged to put it on the table.

She also fails to appreciate that her using such remarks, which are entirely spawned inside her own head, grants others permission to employ the same tactic and bet that she has a bit of a thing about big dogs which is the sort of common conversational gambit I would never dream of doing as they result in people giving you a wide berth.

I hardy think that constitutes a "high readership of refined ladies". To suggest it does gives us an impression, which I'm sure is innacurate, that the ladies in your miliex are even more common and would be likely to grin sheepishly at the mention of Dutch Helmet disease associated with the toilet seat of a country dunny.

Shut it suspenders!

Anything you've got to say, pales into insignificance when you consider that our lakes, rivers and canals are being poached dry (tee hee) by hoards of Eastern Europeans, who, instead of just catching the fish, causing them pain and injury, then putting them back into the water, like decent British lads would do, they're taking them home and eating them!

Middle England is outraged - and so am I!

Been to the Peak District, went to Poole's Cavern and got Calsium Carbonate (damn those stalegmites) on my white linen skit...

It looked like I'd sharted myself!

Bye the bye calcarb in its pure form is white if it shows up on your skirt its probably something else.

cal carb is hard to remove, you need a lubricant.

Oh Linen - washable or dryclean only?

In a former incarnation I managed a drycleaning store.

I see what you mean Dutch. I'll try to be more delicate in future.

Yeah definately a tranny.

Huntsmen spiders are quite friendly dotty. we get them regularily in the house. Its a sure sign of rain in summer. I like 'em cause they get the insects without making a web.

What you trying to say, DP?

You sayin' I've sharted and I'm trying to pass it off as some kind of geological stain?

Well it wasn't in it's pure form, it were one of those dirty bastard stalegmites, contaminated by iron oxide and bacteria from "the hillsides rich leaf litter" also by the years of soot from the old gas lights used by the victorians to light the caves.

Will KY do?
