Every computer game I've ever played tells me that the future starts with a "devastating war" followed by endless corridors of people throwing themselves idiotically at my blazing guns.


I'll make do with walkie-talkies in a world where people are STILL driving MkI Escorts.


Obviously the internet is for EDF Brendan, whatever could you be alluding to?

The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country

The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country

The Times is read by people who actually do run the country

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country

The Financial Times is read by people who own the country

The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country

The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is

The Sun is read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits!

A top quote Jah. Yes (Prime?) Minister wasn't it?

Not alot has changed in 25 years has it? Apart from maybe the morning star bit.


The daily mail reporting "news" in ways only the Mail could

British moustaches built the empire


and important news on that Diana inquest

Yes, that's right Mockney but I seem to remember it from before it appeared in Yes Prime Minister. I could be wrong of course.

The Daily Heil never changes. Moustaches helped us rule the world eh! Lord Beaverbrook would have preferred a certain Austrian with a moustache to have ruled the world if he'd had his way.

Other famous moustaches: Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Hussein.


I hate that f*king picture of Kitchener?s mug. The man was responsible for the genocide of my people. My grandmother survived one of his death camps but lost 2 sisters. Thing is they have started using that picture where I work in the ?All Staff? e-mails in some lame attempt to get staff ?involved?. Just makes my blood boil and I can?t say anything because the senior management of the institution I work for is populated exclusively with ex-military.

Bit of a downer this but it is not everyday you read the news and find out that one of your musical heroes has been killed in such an unnecessary way.

This has just fucked my whole day up. I was feeling great this morning.

Well basically the government and the police are involved up to their necks in organised crime and they will not/cannot put any proper steps in place to combat it. A lot of it is coming to a head at the moment. I follow the SA news quite closely and these are definitely ?interesting times?. Ask me in the pub if you want to know more. I won?t clog this thread up with it.


Problem is innocent people who are just trying to get on with their lives are the ones dealing with the consequences on a day-to-day basis.

    • I think it has to be acknowledged that in some streets, rubbish is inadvertently tipped into the street after bin collection. That's what happens where I live. I can't blame the foxes unless they only visit on a Tuesday. No-one sweeps any of the fallen litter up. Neither do we get anyone sweeping the streets. I never like to blame front line workers as ususlly the problem lies furthet up the food chain. Trouble is this uncollected rubbish is a magnet for passers by to add to the mess by littering. Never mind potholes. My next vote goes to the Councillor who campaigns on a keep Southwark tidy ticket.
    • By ‘adopting’ you would still have to pay for the dog.  Do you have children?  Have you ever had a dog before?  Looked after anyone’s dog?  Work away from home?  Are there any breeds you are particularly interested in?    I would suggest going to Discover Dogs which is part of Crufts but that won’t be until next year now. That way you can meet many different breeds and their owners.  They used to have a standalone DD at the Excel Centre in November but I don’t think it exists anymore. You could also go to different dog shows to see different breeds. They are held throughout the year.  if you get certain breeds like a shitzu or poodle then you’d have to factor in grooming costs if you can’t do it yourself.  You can always keep them in a very short clip.  Many dogs shed a lot including short haired dogs like pugs.  Golden retrievers are also notorious for shedding.  I personally would never get a brachy dog like a pug, French bulldog or English bulldog ever.    If you get a well bred dog from a breeder and can meet the parents then you would get an idea of what the dog will turn out like.  Sometimes breeders have dogs returned to them for various reasons including illness of the owner.  You could look for such a dog.  It’s important that all dogs are socialised correctly during their first year as well as being exposed to outside influences. If this doesn’t take place then the dog has been done a disservice.  But, there’s no substitute to good breeding in my opinion or if you are getting an older dog perhaps you could foster first to get to know them.  You could end up with a dog who’d been badly treated in a previous home and that would take a lot of fixing.   If you are interested in sight hounds, @galgosdelsol are a rescue in Spain run by an English woman (they are on Instagram and have a website) who rehomes Galgos, Spanish dogs similar to greyhounds.  They are often dumped by Spanish hunters if they won’t hunt and retrieve.  They are thoroughly assessed and trained before being rehomed. A breeder of my favourite breed in York works with a Romanian rescue and she fosters a few dogs a year in order to rehome them in the UK.  She’s even kept a few herself.      
    • Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.
