Why should Mr Gazlan be expected to do anything, Jen? There are dozens of threads on this site where people express their outrage about all sorts of subjects – paedophiles, shootings, Lady Gaga (!?), olympic mascots – no one is expected to be doing anything concrete to justify their outrage. Why would we hold Mr Gazlan to different…[Read more]

It doesn’t make it an excuse to be punishing everyone else for his crime, either. In exactly the same way as you shouldn’t be deprived of your ale because of what beer fuelled idiots do up and down the country every weekend.

That’s the chap that did the deed. ‘A lawyer representing Wyatt has claimed the wild mushrooms caused him to act in such a violent way and had not control over his actions.’ Does the face of this man and the description ‘cage fighter’ not give anyone a clue that he might be of a slightly violent nature in the first place? Call me a daft old…[Read more]

Indeed. All these initiatives constitute an assault on the culture of the British people. I would encourage anyone with an hour to spare to watch The Seven Sins of England in order that they might gain some perspective.

Freaky’s an esteemed perspicacious shamen.

I’m pleased Blackpool will be in the top league. It’ll produce some high level fixtures of amphoric resonance denied us for some time. I’m especially looking forward to their games with the Wanderers. Stanley’s tangerine dreams, I’m sure, are made of such stuff.

Art is a personal thing surely, so call someone a philistine for not liking a certain form of art s perhaps a bit presumptious?

I didn’t call anyone a Philistine, Nemesis. Certainly not yourself. Forgive me if you took away that idea. I did mean to convey the idea that there was Philistinism in the air, though.

Philisitinism, I…[Read more]

You’re quite right, Jen. I really should be more restrained.

As we’ve seen on the boards before and we can observe in wider society, what one man decides scripture means can be at variance with what another man believes. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many shades of the world’s religions. I’m no expert on Jovos, but I believe they hold their views sincerely. They’d be a pretty short lived religion if their…[Read more]

Who are you to say who’s brainwashed or not? It was his faith.

Me is a subset of we, you dullard. You can’t have we without me because that is them.

I’m glad you infer you don’t, though. For a moment I had an awful vision. You were on your sofa, rolls of lard…[Read more]

Philistinism is so rarely attractive.

Surely a man has the right to keep whatever god or gods he chooses. Who are you to tell them what they should feel? What right do you have to hand down your religious dogma?

Good on the lad for sticking to his principles in the face of death, I say. What a very brave young man.

Indeed. Warm weather is no excuse for dressing in an inappropriate manner. It’s what cotton is for.

You don’t even turn the telly off when you’re eating and still have the nerve to play the prig with a delicate disposition?

It does look like I was a tad idealistic with the all the putting our country before established interests stuff. Still, one step at a time and all that.

Freedom? Sounds more like ethic cleansing, old girl. I’m sure I must have it wrong. Who, exactly, constitute these ‘white settlers’?

It’s not that they’re being Nazis or anything. People are just people. I think someone mentioned early on, it’ll be just because there’s so many kids in the place that if they let them bring cake in for birthdays there will be cake nearly every day. That wouldn’t be a special Famous Five treat served up with lashings of ginger beer, that’d be a…[Read more]

It is true. You do need to be able to identify mingers. It’s a basic human right that tops most of the others, I reckon.
