Re: But the real issue is

Solid eggs are now a thing.

Their pricing takes the piss though.

Re: And it's back up it seems.

No, no, no. Wham! Make It Big is the album that George and Andy earned the exclamation point.

Re: Utter scum

Because genuine loan sharks don't want to be associated with this shower?

Re: pronunciation?

They could at least have spelt Honour correctly.

Re: Headline contest

Could go for the buzzfeed angle -

You won't believe what this man sleeps with. Shocking.

Wearing gloves, we hope.

@Bob Rocket

Choose life.

Choose a job.

Choose a career.

Choose a family,

Choose a fucking big television

Choose washing machines, cars,

Compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.

Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance.

Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments.

Choose a starter home.

Choose your friends.

Choose leisure wear and matching luggage.

Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase

In a range of fucking fabrics.

Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning.

Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing

Sprit-crushing game shows

Stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.

Choose rotting away at the end of it all,

Pishing you last in a miserable home

Nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,

Fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself.

Choose your future. Choose life.

Re: Douglas Adams

"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."

"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"

"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford. "It is."

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."

"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."

"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"

"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

"What?"

"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"

"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."

Ford shrugged again.

"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."

"But that's terrible," said Arthur.

"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin."

Re: Pommies

Nope. Pom is a shortening of Pommy, which itself is a shortening of Pomegranate.

Pomegranate rhymes with immigrant, also, the newly arrived would turn a lovely shade of red in the heat.

Re: The beginning of the end for Lloyds

Not quite true. Some of them know, but just don't care.

Re: 99 ice cream loving honeybadgers ate my hamster!

Just write it on a post-it stuck to your monitor.

Re: White cat

No, but his boss did.

Besides, if you know somebody's a spy then you keep them around, otherwise they'll be replaced by somebody who may not be a spy.
