I call for a ban on Daily Mail scaremongering and half truths.

St George's Day???

I didn't realise that this actually existed...what happens on St George's Day?

[OBonio]

Smoking in public places. Do I win?

[Gromit]

sp1814,

They play Carelees Whisper endlessly on Radio 2!

[sp1814]

Gromit

Imagine the sound of 150 people groaning at the same joke...

[Gromit]

sp1814,

Only 150! That's well down on my usual average.

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit found the article on the woman that spent �20,000 on a new face to find a husband, much more interesting and thought provoking. What do you think, did it work?

I will treat with the contempt it deserves ' young ma on the bog ' for her rather silly animal cruelty, racist, sexist, and ageist posting.

Where do they come from and what are they on? It's all rather frightening that there are people such as them, roaming about out there free.

Stepping on the cracks in the pavement, unless you are accompanied by a one legged non English speaking lesbian transexual muslim with four kids, three dogs a crack habbit and nowhere to live.

[sp1814]

Sorry to hijack this post for a quick rant...but anyone who spends �20,000 in the hope of finding a partner is deluded.

People stay with people they connect with on an emotional level. It has nothing to do with looks.

Save the �20,000 and look for someone who isn't that superficial.

Rant over.

[Gromit]

anotheoldgit

Thank goodness you've found her. I loaned her the �20,000 for the plastic surgery and then didn't know what she looked like to get my money repaid. They have done an admirable job because she looked like Margaret Beckett before.

[anotheoldgit]

What is the next British thing to be banned you ask.

The answer is my question, I inadvertently posted a question (about the protests outside the British Embassy) onto Media topics.

I have now tried twice to re-post the question onto News topics, but the Ed. keeps banning the question, although it is still in Media.

Beer in pubs

[Supernick]

So this basically boils down to an army accountant saying

"Bl00dy hell. We spend 30 million on coloured smoke. Can't we just, you know, use white stuff instead? It would really help me to balance the books"
Then some top brass says
" Sorry son, no can do. It's traditional, and it's staying".

I'm not sure if that is technically even news.

[sp1814]

AOG

There was a small scale protest outside the Iranian embassy in London, but (according to The Independent yesterday) unlike the protests in Tehran, it was a bit spur-of-the-moment.

Brits don't really seem to 'do violent protests' any more. We tend to shrug, tut and write sarky letters to our newspapers.

[discoinferno]

pls can we ban mushy peas??

[Whickerman]

If these stories were true - and I really really doubt it - it would prove that the last thing to be banned in Britain was your balls.

What is happening to you lot over there? You're been taken in by a bunch of namby-pamby whingers, and the only reaction is to start a ridiculous anti-europe political party, as if that had anything to do with anything. Why not have the courage to say enough's enough, and get some of your national pride back? And sp1814 is right. Next year, you should organise a St George's day parade. Use St Paddy's day as a template! Celebrate who you are, for god's sake. That doesn't make you racist or xenophobic. But what you're turning into is ridiculous.

Oh, and go get those sailors back.

Well said Whickerman I agree entirely but then I'm from the era of when men were men and we were proud of our Country and were not afraid to say so .
