Back in good old Blighty for a couple of days now after a dash up the French autoroutes and just catching up on your posts here. It is indeed a strange anomaly that so many Brits laud the 'continong', profess to love the food, the wine, the weather, the scenery, the whole ambience but then seem to suffer complete cognitive dissonance when it comes to understanding that the whole essence of Europe comes from the fantastic mix of people and cultures across the whole fucking place - all 2,500 x 2,000 miles of it! Amazing that this is the same nation which a couple of hundred years ago made its empire across half the bloody world and embraced so much of what it found there. I have a sort of half-blown theory that this current UKIP crap is founded in a fear that since we don't rule these countries they are somehow going to take US over! A sort of inverted superiority complex, which is of course what we are famous for. The comment above about this all being directed at the Eastern Europeans is valid but the reason is that they can be easily portrayed as coming to laze and scrounge because their own economies are less 'advanced' and therefore the people will naturally want to steal from us. Remember that this is an ego trip for Nigger Pharoah (I think that's the pseudonym he deserves). I really hope that common sense and reason eventually will prevail because Britain deserves better than to continually consign ourselves to the margins of the modern world.
What irony, the country which gave the world the language they use to converse with each other is in danger of not being listened to by any of them!

Perhaps that's why their comedy is generally so fucking crap.

Very little sense of anything at all, our beloved cousins over there! One of the most insular countries of all if it involves anything other than chucking missiles around.

Perhaps that's why their comedy is generally so fucking crap. well try this one It came from 'rayrecrok' on MHF today Hey up.. A Russian and an Irish wrestler were set to square off for the Olympic gold medal. Before the final match, the Irish wrestler's trainer came to him and said 'Now, don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian. He's never lost a match because of this 'pretzel' hold he has. It ties you up in knots. Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold! If he does, you're finished.' The Irishman nodded in acknowledgment. As the match started, the Irishman and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward, grabbing the Irishman and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the trainer buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the inevitable happen. Suddenly, there was a Long, High Pitched Scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a thud and the Irishman collapsed on top of him, making the pin and winning the match. The trainer was astounded. When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked 'How did you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!' The wrestler answered 'Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of testicles right in front of my face. I had nothing to lose so with my last ounce of strength, I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could.' The trainer exclaimed 'Oh, so that's what finished him off?!!' 'Not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite your own balls' Laughing Laughing Laughing ray.
