Sanity

So, for the last week of the campaign do we finally get to see the tories giving up on attracting guardian readers and being, well, tory? It’s about bleeding time too.

Brilliance

One of my regular reads is “Letters From a Tory” (it’s blogrolled). LFAT tends to write quite long, serious, well-reasoned stuff. It would appear though that election fever has taken LFAT to a new height of genius.
This is very funny. And I’m saying that despite not sharing LFAT’s view on iDave. Two thumbs up!
Meanwhile [...]

They really do hate you

One of the problems is, they only talk amongst themselves. They no longer have a clue what the rest of us actually think, apart from what the polls and focus groups tell them.
The only surprise is that it came out in such a blatant way. New Labour hates the British and British culture to such [...]

Gordon Brown is right and very wrong.

Yes, I would agree with Mr Brown that these sounded like the words of a bigot:
“All these Eastern Europeans what are coming in, where are they flocking from?”
Actually it sounds exasperatingly pig ignorant as well.
Brown ought to have ballsed it out. Mrs Duffy sounded like the voice of the Express. Instead Brown wimped [...]

The Script of the Tiger

Just about exactly 15 years ago today I sat my last exam at the University of Nottingham. I was on fire by then - wired on talent and the self-belief of youth. I only took what I needed. 20 Marlboro, a lighter, a mechanical pencil and 35cl of pre-frozen Smirnoff.
It was a fluids exam. [...]

Nimrod

That is “Nimrod” from Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations”. That is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by the Argentine born Jew of Russian extraction Daniel Barenboim. Nick Griffin, you can royally go fuck yourself. For nobody else will.
Oh, and isn’t Nimrod sort of dedicated to a German? And Nimrod himself was a Red Sea Pedestrian? [...]

Nick Griffin

Last night I watched my first party election broadcast of the season and it was a stormer.
Yes, it was the BNP. You can watch it here. For I shall be flogged naked through the streets of Nuneaton with a bull’s pizzle before I embed that shite. It’s almost unfiskable.
The photo of Churchill, the opening [...]

They peel them with their metal knives!

THE aliens are out there and Earth had better watch out, at least according to Stephen Hawking. He has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact.
The suggestions come in a new documentary series in [...]

Server interruptus

The Cats server is a little erratic this evening. My this evening that is, your whenever. A friend has had their business server fail this weekend and, long weekend as it is in Oz, I have had to use Cats to test some components.
Sorry.

Parrots

Should one return salaams to a parrot?!
Q. In my grandfather’s house there is a real live parrot, and when I pass by it, it greets me and says ‘al-salaamu ‘alaykum”. In this case do I have to return the greeting of this bird?.
A. Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Al-Fayyoomi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Recipe for corruption

I am oh so very wonderful I deserve loadsa money, all from the those idiot taxpayer schmucks.
Oh, and loadsa money for me friends too, but no one else.
Isn’t the closed shop wunnerful?
Someone did something great once, so lets pay em a lot of money in the future and starve out the the up and coming [...]

Anything you can do…

I recently high-lighted the crass uselessness of US civil servants. It would appear our own dear Foreign Office can still compete at the highest level.
The Foreign Office has apologised for a “foolish” document which suggested the Pope’s visit to the UK could be marked by the launch of “Benedict” condoms.
Called “The ideal visit would see…”, [...]

Caption competition

Actually, I know it isn’t the 20th May, but I am so excited I want to get in early.
So, what’s a good caption then?
Mo and a Medina Jew
Mo wins an argument with an infidel
Mo demonstrates the power of his intellect
Mo demonstrates the power of his logic
Mo, ten minutes after signing the treaty
 

Lest we forget

Religion of Tolerance (again)

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are in the doo doo, seems they have joined the list of targets from the Religion of Peace. Actually, I’m somewhat surprised they didn’t get there earlier, but what the hell, we’ll all be on that list eventually.
The 201th episode of South Park DIDN’T portray Mohammed. Truly, it didn’t. It [...]
