I keep having a very minor allergic reaction. My beloved assumed it was the cheap n nasty gel at the gym, but I haven’t used that for a week and tonight there it was again–little raised bumps all along both arms, very itchy.
So I’ve narrowed it down to edam cheese or M&S Earl Grey. Anyone know if there’s anything dodgy in the latter?
Yup, once again, we have murder committed by the interweb. Uhhr, no, hang on a moment. Surely a man murdered a woman here? Something that is, of course, sadly all too common. But, no, apparently, the interweb was to blame. Must be all those tubes.
Be interesting how they try and enforce this one–
“acts that appear to be life threatening or are likely to result in serious, disabling injury
Remove that ‘disabling’ and most piercing sites would come under scrutiny. Actually, bme would anyway.
That ‘appear’ leaves open the application of the law (as currently with kiddie porn legislation) to completely fake images. Ie. you make an animation of someone murdering someone, its just as criminal as if you film someone murdering someone.
Oh, and ‘likely to result in…’ Hmm, the jackass boys better not be filming round here.
File under ‘completely unenforceable pandering to the tabloids.”
Repeat after me, it is not the role of the state, or any of its constituent bodies, to legislate over things like this. But, hey, here’s an idea. Why not stop building on playing fields? Why not stop the kiddy fiddler panic that stops children being allowed to play outside? Why not stop dealing with symptoms and start dealing with root problems?
First Tom and Jerry and smoking, now this ridiculous bugbear once more. IPCGMITY.
If parents seriously can’t deal with kids being influenced by adverts, perhaps they should have invested in rather better contraception.
By way of popbitch, why fisting is God’s will. Ah-hemm. Not sure Pat Robertson would agree, but, hey.
If any of you want to talk about the famous novel, I’m afraid you’ll be blacklisted. The amount of spam I get that references Harper Lee is astonishing. So Harper Lee disappears into negative space. Which is a shame. Though I preferred the film.
“We didn’t do nothing, and, anyway, even if we did, the law’s wrong. ”
Hmm, I believed the Pakistanis up till reading that interview.
Well, bought T’Grauniad on Saturday, and saw no mention of this. Apologies placed carefully on the website on a SUnday. Who’d have thnk it.
Not tht it could have ruined the guy’s life, after all.
Oh look, I can’t be expected to do puns all the time. And make them work. What else would you have me do, what a farag(o)e/farag(e)o? I dunno.
DK has nailed his colours to the UKIP mast (indeed, so happy is he about it his nailed them twice in quick succession). The problem, he says, though is that:
UKIP suffers from the perception that many of their members are old, racist, reactionary and insane or all four. They also suffer from their perception as a jingoistic one-issue, parochial party. If UKIP really wish to become a credible force in national politics, they need to take several steps.
And then goes on to list some. The major one he leaves out, though, is ‘not to be so thoroughly infiltrated and run by the security services, that it seems new graduates at Thames Bank enter the party for a bit of basic practice in manipulation of the British political system.’
Somebody needs to do a version of this for the pinko-loving, Israel-hating BBC. (From Boingboing obviously—do you need another website?)
And then when the Israelis retreat, Hizbullah re-house Lebanon’s people. Hmm, now which of these two organizations–Hizbullah and the Israeli state–would you choose to support if you lived in southern Lebanon? The one the bombs you, or the one that gives you a year’s free rent?
Congrats to Israel, the US and the UK on driving yet more muslims (and a significant number of christians—weird how such faithful xians as Blair and Bush were happy for their co-religionists to be bombed over the past few days by non-co-religionists, sort of the crusades in reverse) into the arms of Hizbullah. The only better outcome for them and for al-qaida and co. would have been continued bombing. Then everyone’s aims of armageddon would have been enacted.
Wonder what would have happened if, in 1973, after quite justifiably beating up all their neighbours, Israel had not taken the course of stealing all the water from the West Bank aquifer, destroying the Palestinians’ land and homes, and destroying their culture. Instead if it had embarked on a policy of investment, aid and kindness, well, maye they’d have had less trouble over the past thirty years. And it might have cost rather less on the defence budget too. Oh, and it might have given them some more people well-disposed enough to inform on the tiny minority of terrorists.
I know, its a dreamland I live in sometimes isn’t it?
Looking at my usage stats ((yeah, I know, but its either that or going to bed even earlier), I have a lot of incoming this month from disney.com. Is this an ISP? Or someone working there looking for cynicalbastards?
If you’re looking–’give us back our (Pooh) Bear! He’s not ‘merkin, he’s English.’
Thank you
I used to do this sort of crap all day. Now I’m a boss, of course, I have to frown upon such activity. Enjoy the ‘gentleman’s code of wind-up’.
Most amusing.
By way of the comments, Gary James’ (I never know what to do with the apostrophe on names ending in s—its why I didn’t become a xian for years, all that confusion over Jesus’s or Jesus’, now I just settle for x and have done with it) newish blog.
Should maybe be over on ilkley rocks as a link, but he’s not in Ilkley (I think). Anyway, ver’ funny, albeit far too mentions of Crowded House for my liking. Particularly like the line ‘I’ve never forgotten that, largely because it’s only been a few minutes since I made it up’.
And Doctor Vee finally gets on to the blogroll months after he should have been. Despite a bewildering liking for Formula One, and having a far too clever understanding of blog layouts and all sorts of fancy pants stuff. He has very good taste in music, lovely and obscure. Oh, and also cos, when I was a pretentious youngster, I called me’sen ‘Vee’. Indeed most of my most pretentious work was done for various student rags under that sobriquet.
Look, does anyone believe any of this stuff anyway? (isn’t that a song?)
It’s all put on for show…otherwise why the obvious idiocy involved in the confiscations?
(note to self: no more flying on BA, EL AL or any US airline, its aer lingus from now on…no one bombs the Irish).
Now I, along with most of the world, think Frank Lampard is a pointless and rather ugly waste of space.
But criticising his ‘autobiography’ in t’Grauniad, Marina Hyde runs through her distaste for the famous Ayia Napa video (one memorable for the News of the World referring to Kieron Dyer as ‘good looking’ and a ’stud’, which were certainly firsts).
Admittedly, there were some disturbing images therein. However, this is a woman who had (and still might have for all I know) a long running affair with Piers Morgan. Distaste? Horrid, eye-melting imaginings? The thought of Morgan having sex with anything is surely right at the top of the chart.
