  2. My new Girlfriend says I have to wait 6 months before she'll give me a BJ. Of course, I told her that I understand, I can wait and that I'll call her again closer to the time.
  3. Watched "Heartbreak Ridge" last night. Hardly a Clint Eastwood classic but strangely satisfying.
  4. There's a few words that mean the same today.... Then she turned up her hairy cunt, An she bade Donald claw that; The deevil’s dizzen Donald drew, An Donald gied her a’ that. Along with an unusual lament.... Yestreen I wed a lady fair, An ye wad believe me, On her cunt there growes nae hair, That’s the thing that grieves me. It vexed me sair, it plagued me sair, It put me in a passion, To think that I haed wad a wife, Whase cunt was oot o fashion.
  5. One or two merry ditties there Flash.... The lads an lasses toy an kiss, The lads ne’er think it is amiss To bang the holes whereout they piss, An that’s the reels o Bogie
  6. Rich must pay their fair share: Obama Barack Obama has delivered a populist pitch to Americans ahead of his re-election bid, calling for tax reform to eliminate inequality and to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share – at least 30 per cent, if they earn more than $US1 million a year. Confronting the growing divide between rich and poor in the US, Mr Obama called for the removal of tax breaks that allowed the wealthiest Americans to pay a lower rate of tax than ordinary wage earners. And in what was clearly a campaign speech ahead of November's election, he said he would resist any efforts by political opponents to return the US to the sort of policies that led to the 2008 financial crash.

Fortunately if I was Yank I'd just slip under the bar.
  7. The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Sir Winston Churchill. After his retirement, he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner. Some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should choose an Italian ship. “There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship†said Churchill. “First their cuisine is unsurpassed." " Second their service is superb"...... "And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children firstâ€.
  8. Didn't Roosevelt die in the arms of a lady not his wife? I keep reading how Gingrich will cream Obama when they come to a debate, and he probably will with the judges scoring 10/10 for name calling and vitriol. This is the man who created the GOPAC memo and he is master in the type of debate he demands the right use. Unfortunately it has been adopted right across the political spectrum, issues now no longer matter.
  9. I watched The Warriors again today... what a good film. I read the book years ago and wouldn't mind getting it again if anyone sees an eBook version of it online. Sol Yurick wrote it.
  10. I suspect they would vote against, being more dependant on the sassenach dole money.
  11. Had a mate recommend "Red Dog" to me. I'm not a big lost dogs movie fan, Mrs always has a good cry over "8 Below Zero" though.
  12. I thought kilts had to be tartan?
  13. The 15 best stand-up jokes of 2011 IT’S been a funny old year for comedians in 2011 – with many of them getting in hot water for telling jokes too near to the knuckle. Frankie Boyle turned himself into a hate figure for making nasty remarks about Jordan’s disabled son Harvey, joking about her and ex-husband Peter Andre fighting over who would have to keep him. Jimmy Carr upset people with a joke about Downs Syndrome children, saying: “Why are they called Sunshine Variety coaches when all the kids look the same?†Then Ricky Gervais caused uproar when he put snaps of himself gurning on Twitter accompanied by phrases like, “good monging,†“two mongs don’t make a right,†and “my favourite drink is toilet.†Obviously those jokes are far too outrageous for us to repeat, unlike these best gags of the year. “I farted in a lift… it was wrong on so many levels†Stewart Francis “I DON’T want any fat people to feel uncomfortable at one of my gigs… so next time, buy two seats!†Ricky Gervais “RONAN Keating had an affair with a woman who looks exactly the same as his missus. Who would do that? Only a member of Boyzone would do a cover version of his own wife.†Neil Delamere “I’VE got a bag for life. She’s called my wife.†Vic Reeves “I SAID to this Scottish bloke, ‘I know everything there is to know about places in Scotland.’ He said, ‘Motherwell?’ I said, ‘A bit of arthritis but she’s all right!’†Tim Vine “I BOUGHT one of those anti bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say, ‘bought,’ I stole it off a short, fat, ginger kid!†Jack Whitehall “THAT’S Victoria Beckham’s fourth baby by caesarean now. They may as well have just put in a hinge!†Jon Richardson “A CHURCH in America is getting in trouble for running an organised prostitution ring out of it. That’s right, it’s a brothel and a church. They don’t just talk about a burning bush, they’ll give you one!†Russell Howard <>“My TV remote had a button that said, ‘cinema sound.’ So I pressed it and a voice behind me went, ‘Put your head down you fat t**t!†Phil Jupitus “AFTER Movember, how many women will do Fanuary? I don’t know. Let’s get Dickember out of the way first.†Ricky Gervais “I BOOKED a holiday with my mate. The lady said, ‘queries?’ I said, ‘No, just good friends!’†Daniel Sloss “PLAYING for Scotland is an oxymoron. Saying you’re an international footballer …for Scotland, is like being voted the most handsome man in the burns unit!†Frankie Boyle “You don’t want to have the World Cup in the Middle East. If any matches go to sudden death, that’s just tempting fate!†Milton James “Just watched a show about rimming. It was very tongue in cheek.†Jason Manford “I’d loved to have had a gay dad. All that stuff at school, ‘My dad could batter your dad!’ ‘Oh my dad could batter your dad!’ ‘Listen! My dad will shag your dad… and your dad will enjoy it!’†Frankie Boyle http://www.sundaysport.com/?p=3325
  14. The US did seem to end up with most of the worlds money after WW1, drop a few bucks in the 1930s, then pick it up again with interest in WW2. Later wars weren't as profitable because they had to fight the major part of them themselves rather than play the part of moneylender to the other combatants.
  15. Well Kipling did try to warn you. Take up the White Man’s burden— Send forth the best ye breed— Go send your sons to exile To serve your captives' need To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild— Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half devil and half child
  16. I think Carter got a poor deal, if his military solution to the Iran hostages had been successful he would have got back in, but instead it was left to Reagan to negotiate with the terrorists to free them. A discourse on the economy at the time for HH to sneer at. Myth: Carter ruined the economy; Reagan saved it. Fact: The Federal Reserve Board was responsible for the events of the late 70s and 80s. Summary Carter cannot be blamed for the double-digit inflation that peaked on his watch, because inflation started growing in 1965 and snowballed for the next 15 years. To battle inflation, Carter appointed Paul Volcker as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who defeated it by putting the nation through an intentional recession. Once the threat of inflation abated in late 1982, Volcker cut interest rates and flooded the economy with money, fueling an expansion that lasted seven years. Neither Carter nor Reagan had much to do with the economic events that occurred during their terms. Argument In 1980, the "misery index" -- unemployment plus inflation -- crested 20 percent for the first time since World War II. Ronald Reagan blamed this on Jimmy Carter, and went on to win the White House. Reagan then caught the business cycle on an upswing, for what conservatives call "the Seven Fat Years" or "the longest economic expansion in peacetime history." Were either of these presidents responsible for their fortune with the economy? No. Carter battled the peak of an inflationary trend that began in 1965. In the following chart, take special notice of the long, slow climb in the inflation column: I'm not going to try to post tables, here's the link.
  17. Created by people who claim the roadside bomb is unsporting.
  18. Sorry, wrong movie... she's still worth a look though.
  19. Cheyenne Autumn with Jimmy Stewart stealing the show as a very different Wyatt Earp. Apparently the "Cheyenne" were Navaho and spoke that language during the film and actually say things, mostly ribald or obscene, that have nothing to do with the scene supposedly being played in the movie.
  20. I still think that a decision not to serve in wars like Vietnam shouldn't disqualify someone from public services, or for that matter be an excuse not to vote for him. Would my father have volunteered for Vietnam? I think not, but he went willingly and unconscripted to fight in WW2, because he saw that the world as he knew it was under threat. Millions were like him, in 1942 even film stars and business executives joined the army. Clinton had a choice, stay at school and miss the war. Bush chose to play with expensive toys at the public expense and gets brownie points at election time.
  21. I think that calling GWB a vet for getting to fly jet fighters on the weekend with no danger of seeing action unless the VC invaded the US is a bit over the top.
  22. That surfing clip is amazing, those guys are crazy. When ever I see it I always wonder... how the fuck did they build that pier?
