      Aw bless, I'm flattered you spent so long looking through my posts. Glass houses? Perhaps on spelling/typos. Little bit different when it comes to respect for other cultures though, I have it, you seem to find Jonny Foreigner
      amusing and a little backward, which is why I point out your own deficiencies, like for instance being an unlikeable dickhead.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Why I stand on my feet...

        Most snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contraction which move down the undersurface of the foot.

          You have taste buds on your feet - how's that working for you?
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                  Sorry to be a pain-in-the-ass pedant, but that was Louis XVI on the day the Bastille was beseiged, on July 14, 1789.

                  There's an article rebutting the George III myth here

                    There we go, I've learnt something from CUK today. Although, it is a pretty well established myth.
