Hamburger Pimp

Sorry to hear of your loss, Brian.

I don't care what the naysayers think, I, for one, enjoy Darny's fractured take on the latest bleeding-edge developments in the hard news agenda. While I'm here, what does everyone think about old Richie Cobden and his campaign to repeal the Corn Laws? It will end badly, I fear.

I think the problem is less to do with taxation than with the extortionate rents the breweries charge the landlords. Back to the Terrier, I heard it was a pound a pint all day yesterday. Unfortunately, I only learned this after I'd spent the best part of the day filling myself with full-price ale at an alternative venue. I'll be honest, I'm only just getting over it.

Man fails to get head from lesbians.

Were they lasses, then?

Good work, sir!

I'm sure these things make sense to you when they're in your head.

Well paint me blue and call me Suzie, it's only gone and turned into March, hasn't it? While this may signal a high day and a holy day for our Welsh brethren, what it means to us Beddy Preddy leaguers is that another month's competition is over. Let us proceed to the results and see who are the spring chickens and who are the spring rolls.

Who knows who will be plucked out by the fickle hand of fate this month? Keep clicking and picking!

Are you as unpleasant in real life as you are on here? Maybe sissinghurst does indeed have a sense of humour, only it's a one that doesn't rely on racism and posting numerous smilies after your own witless remarks? There are such people out there, you know?

Is there any evidence of medical negligence?

Ministers 'using fear of terror' Stella Rimington has often been critical of the government A former head of MI5 has accused the government of exploiting the fear of terrorism to restrict civil liberties. Dame Stella Rimington, 73, said people in Britain felt as if they were living "under a police state". Having got snotty about being misrepresented on another thread, that's a pretty disingenuous bit of selective quoting right there. The original quote: For what it's worth, I disagree with the government's restriction of civil liberties, hence the phrase "overly zealous". The point I was making was that this did not make them the worst example of totalitarianism ever. Examples of regimes who gave themselves powers even more drastic than compiling a database would include Stalin's Russia, Cold War East Germany, 1970s Cambodia, 1980s South Africa or today's Zimbabwe. Don't let that get in the way of ever more tiresome rants against the government of the day, though.

The government was a totalitarian Orwellian nightmare yesterday, today they're "so-called liberal" looney lefties. Did you get the bumper book of Richard Littlejohn political cliches for Christmas? The government has to balance an individual's human rights and freedom of expression against the potential that they may cause disorder. They've banned muslims in the past. There were no riots or threats of bombings. Now they've banned this Dutch eedjit. Good. There is the chance, slight though it may be, that the Home Office, informed by the Police, are better able to make this call than a couple of right-wing apologists on an internet forum. No offence.

A sensible decision to exclude an attention-seeking bigoted idiot. *looks up* We have enough of those as it is.

It certainly could, Brian. It certainly could. *Does Bob Monkhouse-style turning hands over thing* But enough about this thread, where's the howling noise coming from, eh?

Those Prime Ministers since Major in full: Blair Brown

What's that coming over the hill, is it an update, is it an update? You bet your bippy it is! Any suggestions that this is only because yours truly got a decent score for once would be well wide of the mark. Well wide. Anyhoo, let's crack on and find out who's going home with the prom queen and who's going home in a JFK ambulance.

Not going to happen. Our "politically correct gone mad" government values the right to work and drink in an environment free of carcinogenic fumes more than the freedom to smoke 'bines. You couldn't make it up.

What absolute guff. Stalin killed millions of his own citizens. Our government is being overly zealous in trying to prevent terrorist attacks. Get some perspective.

Blyth Golf Club are looking for a steward, if you're looking to get licensed to sell victuals, Denzel.

When you do that to the language, it makes the baby Jesus cry.

I think these are re-arranged fixtures, that have previously featured in the prediction selections. When they were postponed, the saved predictions were held in limbo until they re-appeared on the "coupon", as it were.

Rats have suitcases? Who knew?

Who needs Hugh Mcllvanney when such erudite and incisive analysis is available on our very doorsteps, eh? Our doorsteps!

Maybe someone needs to get out more, yes?

John Terry, superstar. Looks like a woman and wears a bra Before any of you smart alecs ask, no I wouldn't.
