:lol: Given what’s been said, perhaps you’d all like to tell us your best Jamie Bulger jokes, then. There must be some crackers. Or what about the classics about Holly and Jessica? Good old British humour.
And, as I’ve already mentioned, you’re an obvious wanker. Where’s the news, four eyes?
Leeds should have been disbanded in the seventies for serious foul play. In fact, all of Yorkshire south of Harrogate and York should have been turned into a national park and had its scum inhabitants shipped to the Americas. Hopefully, friendly Canadians would have clubbed them all to death.
Not to mention a bit tiresomely dim when it comes to English comprehension. You can ask the Captain for confirmation whenever you like. I got the distinct impression he counted you amongst the world’s not so bright lights. I agree.
It’s not often I am called upon to concur with the Captain. It has to be agreed, though, you are a prize pillock.
Thirty odd thousand good natured, indomitable souls in, though. Week in, week out. Plenty to be proud of.
All I’m saying is we can’t hold them in Sweden every year. On the scale of things, China isn’t such a bad place. I know people who manage to live and work there, for example, without being rousted by the stormtroopers at four in the morning and tortured before breakfast. Not something that can be said for everywhere in the world, surely?
I must say, I think the Geoff has been coming out of the recent scrapes rather well. It seems to me at least he’s scuffling with roughly the right people these days.
China does not hunt whales. They banned commercial whaling in 1986. You can see exactly which nations do here.
As for their human rights record, while obviously flawed it’s not too bad when seen relatively to the really stinky places of the world. They’ve come a long way in a few years and they do have that nagging problem of keeping over a billion people fed and watered. No, I think them holding the Olympics is a positive thing, on balance. It encourages further progress under the world’s gaze. In any case, judging by Amnesty’s regional reports, you’d have a hard time finding too many places squeaky clean enough to hold the old hop, skip and jump if you were too picky.
China, while it may be many things, is not a whaling nation. It’s a good thing you didn’t mention it.
