show respect for her dead husband

It is because I respect her husband's sacrifice that I protest against the Army using her as a PR pawn in their attempt to drum up public support for a very dodgy military campaign

idiot

The downside?

Oh God the holidays – the interminable, endless holidays, when you pray for something useful to fill your time other than reading, socialising, sitting in the sun, travelling abroad, watching telly, lying in bed, drinking coffee in Starbucks, walking in the countryside, going to the cinema, playing with the kids

I could go on

You ignorant saps

This woman is an absolute gift to the Army's PR department, and you've all fallen for it

Young, blonde, slim, fit and absolutely well-prepped by Army PR with the medals, and the wedding ring, and the poppy, and the brave grin.

She's no more "incredible" than any other Army widow.

Where are the Army wives who are short, fat, ugly slappers? There must be loads of them. Do you think they are less dignified, less devastated, less representative of our collective loss than this woman?

I say again – you ignorant saps

That guy who bashed his pupil on the head with a heavy weight also had a PGCE

The PGCE is a passport to a low-pay, low-status, high stress job.

People with PGCEs on average don't make it to their official retirement age of 60

They're either dead or on long term absence from stress
Or, to avoid the above, get out early on a poverty pension
Or get sacked for unproved allegations by pupils

If voting could really change the political system, it would be illegal

House?

Stupid name for stupid TV series based on brainless idea

He is, and always will be, the idiot off Blackadder

And his American accent is totally bogus

I think that the public should support the service men and women no matter how misguided their mission

Taht's what German people thought in the 1930s

people who think Britain is great when everything points to the opposite conclusion e.g.

lowest pensions
highest teen pregnancies
fewest public holidays
longest working hours
lowest educational standards
highest number of soldiers killed in illegal wars
highest rates of servile obsequiousness to useless celebrities like Jade, Jordan, the Windsors

Maf (u) king liar!

Sweets off rationing

I love the shot where someone is scooping up handfuls of Liquorice Allsorts

FFS It wasn't "tuppence" in the Xmas pud – there was no such coin!

It was "sixpence" or, more likely, a "sixpenny bit" or a "sixpenny piece"

Who now remembers a "thru'penny bit"? (A coin worth three pennies)

Or a "ha'penny" (pronounced hay-penny) for a coin worth half a penny.

Or a florin?

Or a guinea?

Or a half-crown?

Or a shilling?

Or a ten-bob note?

Or the bloody farthing?

We've dumbed down the currency and the litle darlings still can't add up properly

Ryo, Bradford and Falcon?

These people are as mad as the Palins

Glorious animals!

Thank God that in the UK they are a protected species.

You won't believe it, but in some countries rich people are allowed to chase them with packs of dogs until they'e exhausted, and then let the dogs tear them apart!

In some other countries, it's legal for rich people to obtain sexual pleasure by killing them with high-powered rifles.

Get one with an optical viewfinder (saves draining the battery with an LCD)

Get one with a microphone input socket – improves audio massively

Why would that be dire?

Well, imagine if the faith schools were all to be suicide-bomber promoting madrassas

Or kiddy-fiddling catholic seminaries

or polygamy-promoting, child abusing Mormon schools

You've not thought your religion through, have you?

Who gave you the right to judge someone you don't know

We all know its wrong

No judgement involved here, of course

Only sloppy thinking

it would be good not to have people wanting to pin anyone anywhere

Ahhh bless! The message of Jesus, brought to us by his disciple Simon.

I wanted to suggest a certain religious figure whose influence is leading numbers of impressionable young men to kill themselves and others in the service of the god of whom he is said to be the prophet

But I can't

Because we're not allowed to have pictures of him, so there would be nothing to pin on the dartboard

The word they have avoided is clearly "arse", not "ass"

(arschloch)

or were you worried about the sensitivities of our easily-offended moderators?

My daughters?

Having sex?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Could have bought a duck house with a moat and hired an illegal immigrant to clean it for that!

Judging by the lack of response to this post, I'm obviously not alone

the swallow represents a sheep

just like other forms of self-mutilation

It was an important province of the Roman Empire, which was a sort of Europe with other bits added on by military conquest

Maybe your F-I-L's memory goes back that far?

It's not from Mark Davis

It's from his desk

Mark Davis (whoever he is) is the innocent victim of identity theft

Water and soap apparently doesn't remove the substance!

I read somewhere that although capsaicins are not soluble in water, they are in fat – so smear full fat yoghourt or butter on the nose/nutsack or other affected area and the theory is it should help.

Not tried it myself, though

Happy for you. I know what a great feeling it is to get out of a job you hate.

However your post does cast some doubt on your qualifications for working in such a critical and potentially dangerous industry

You'd better hope that the next doctor who operates on you, the next teacher your kids have, the next lawyer who defends you, the next engineer who designs that bridge you've got to cross, didn't get THEIR jobs because they have

always had a knack of being able to waffle shite to people.

find a system restore point which predates your kid's messing about

then find a restore point in your life before said 2 yr old was born, and get your life back

life seems to be pretty ok for the majority of people round here (Lancaster).

Take a tour of the Ridge estate. Nose around Skerton a bit. Pop down to the Marsh. Better still, take a little trip to the West End of Morecambe.

People who cannot use Latin correctly; The plural of ignoramus is ignoramii.

Hook, line and sinker! I new someone would fall for it!

"Ignoramus" means, in Latin, "we do not know"

It's already plural as a singular English word, and as such in English therefore needs a distinctive plural form, as for example with the word abacus, whose preferred plural form is abacuses

the alternate plural for abacus is abaci (one i)

ignoramii (with two i's) could never be correct, unless there was a tribe from the non-existent province of Ignoramia (as in the Helvetii, from Helvetia, or the Nervii, from Nervia

And it's kill-ometer, not kilo-meter. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kilometer

if you look carefully you'll see there two little speaker icons, one offering your incorrect version and one offering my correct version

if you're going to quote a source supporting your point of view, at least choose one which does that! LOL!
