Heh. Today it is pinstriped suit, pink shirt with some smart cuff links and black brogues. I am considering ditching the shoes for cowboy boots, though, as the shoelaces are knackered. Being well dressed for tonight is important.

What other result could conceivably be expected if the future of the islands is put in the hands of the tiny British settler population, most of whom weren't born there but are subsidised to the tune of £44,856 a head to keep them in the Rhodesian retro style to which they are accustomed?

Rhodesian? WTF? Yes, the Falklanders are all racist because... they're white?

Even for milne this is utter drivel.

Milne is bloody useless, but that article is a shambles. An ill-informed one at that. The cost per head is purely for the military support, which is only needed because the 'saintly' Argentinians invaded and tried to take the islands by force.

Still, intended ethnic cleansing is fine if you're from glorious South America.

You know that guy who stopped a shark from attacking some kids?

Well apparently he was on sick leave for stress, and has now been sacked:

I suspect there is more to this story than that. Probably along the lines of what he told his employed he was doing with his time while they were paying him and he was off sick, and what he was actually doing. It wouldn't surprise me if the first they knew of him being in Oz was seeing the news articles, which is probably grounds for dismissal, I would have thought, regardless of his sickness.

I'm not sure that they had the space to do that. There's a ditch just on the other side of the kerb and judging by how the car turns, it could have ended up in it.

That and driving on the kerb is illegal!

I dunno it looks a pretty high kerb. I seem to remember a few awful clips like that of people driving for their lives. I hope they made it.

Engage first

Yes. heh. I'd forgotten about that.

The Ka is not a shitheap, it jsut needs a new clutch.

The new clutch looks distinctly like a bike, though.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Mar 13, 2013 16:17

The tractor wasn't a shitheap! The tractor was beautiful!

The current owner has promised to sell it to me when it eventually carks it, so I can restore it and polish it and keep it safe like it did for me.

The Ka has a huge internal volume, so I imagine would be quite bouyant. I got the tandem in tehre.

It's insane isn't it? Just when you think that the violently misogynistic theme is as low as things can go the horrendous racism pops-up to join in the party! Mind-boggling.

Quote:

Rape
Rape - rape - rape, rape, rape!
Rape - rape, rape, rape!
It's utterly amazing how many different kinds of rape there are!

There's Italian Rape
Uno, due, tres, quatro, cinque, quante Lira.
Look into my eye-a-balls, you will see the fire!
How much Lira have you got-a ? Only a quarter?
Oh Madonna, you didn't oughta - for that I'll have your daughter !

Japanese Rape, of course!
American Rape is full of hate and we're told, practically every minute of the hour.
And the way we're going we'll never be late,
Except for that date, with impatient Black Power!
Beginnings of Chinese Rape - endless!

One does need time, as any Englishman will explain,
If only to apologise for the agonising convenience caused
To Mother Nature's forbidden walls!
In France of course, where fun is greedy,
The women are a little more seedy.
And rape is hardly ever necessary.
So even if the Franc is down, la plume de ma tante is always up and around!

In Germany it isn't always remembered,
What with Liszt, Wagner and Tannhauser,
The rape is synonymous with whips, bunkers and Mauser.
Which makes it all comparatively kinky -
With gas thrown in to get rid of the stinky!

In Russia it's far too cold for anything so bold!
And being notoriously political (if a trifle hypocritical)
Rape becomes piratical,
And Czechoslovakia far more suitable!
Which makes the whole thing rather nasty, tasteless and hasty.
But as Jason King would say, it depends so much on what you fancy!

American porn is prolific and terrible. It's a bit too aggressive and everyone in it looks like the Ultimate Warrior. I can understand why people would search for their own nationality, and definitely understand why people search for 'Indian MILF'.
