Haven't you heard? Everything is now God's fault.

Just give us your fooking money!

benn0, you don't have a clue about economics do you?

That defines a socialist.

As soon as economic awareness dawns, they cease to be socialist any more.

It happened to loads of friends from school, including me.

Communist C nu T and I bet you're fat and ugly as f V ck as well.

Sensible argument? Wasted on t u r d s like you - lets just cut to the chase f v ckf ace socialist g1t!!

Morning. How's the hangover?

[vista]

Not that I want to defend labour, it's just the constant whinging that gets me. How many of those points can you attribute to GB amd new labour?

C&W & MFI had it coming, cause they're sh1t, not cause GB is.

Energy prices are going up cause north sea gas is running out and the cost of oil is high. However much you'd like to pin the on Gordon, you can't.

Houseprice dipping is a good thing if you ask me, they're overvalued at the moment and this report is purely subjective - go search and you'll find other bodies saying house prices rose for the fastest rate in two years in February. Who feckin knows.

Retail sales dropped yes, the same reports say the overall trend is upwards and the knock on effect could be an interest rate cut according to 'financial experts', obviously helping house prices.

FFS if you're gonna have a whinge at labour (And feck me they need it) can we put a wee try to steer clear of the daily mail hysteria type posts and get it in perspective.

In Hertfordshire?

I used to live in Norfolk before that, and there were a few jap-haters there too, amongst the bigger boys. Norfolk is on the coast, so a few nip frogmen might have swum over from Japan, sneaked ashore, and been holed up near my school for 20 years.

But I doubt they would have got inland as far as Elstree without alerting a policeman.

Mmm. But if the police had come across a person in a wet rubber suit, speaking English with a strange accent, would they not have been dismissed as a typical Norfolk inbred mutant on the way to a good night out?

[wendigo100]

Ah.

Thought there might have been Japanese soldiers hiding in the woods thinking that WWII hadn't quite finished yet...

Not like today, when a policeman would give them directions to Croydon and a few bob for their train fare.

But then again, Croydon is in Surrey.

Especially the water shortage.

It's that fat barsteward of a deputy prime minister drinking it all.

I think we should ask Charles Kennedy to drink his whisky neat. That'll solve the water shortage.

[Fungus]

It's great bringing the finest minds together to thrash these things out don't you think?

Yes but how do we get them to post and not just read?

[Fungus]

After Thatcher engineered a recession by cutting public spending across the board there was only one way for it to go.

You don't have a clue about economics do you?

[wendigo100]

Lived in the Philipines did you?

At that time, Elstree.

Borehamwood actually, but Elstree sounds posher.

Not many nips in either of them.

[wendigo100]

When I was a kid, the father of a lad who lived near me fought the nips in the war.

All this lad ever wanted to play was war, and if there weren't enough kids to play that, he'd hole himself up in the woods nearby to ambush japs if they came past. I last saw him when I was about 11. Perhaps he's still there.

Sons of Nippon

My dad used to call them nips.

The Japs, not management.

Being what they are. Japs that is, not management, who are generally sons of bitches.

[wendigo100]

When the factory had Japanese visitors, management had to hide him away somewhere... he wasn't very keen on them for some odd reason.

Not so my huge green alien f(r)iend

To be even more picky, it would have been August 9th 1945 for Nagasaki...

Hiroshima was attacked on the 6th, so up until that point the mayor's of any Japanese cities would not have been desperately concerned about Atom bombs. I suspect they were a bit worried after that date though.
