  1. How fucking stupid. When laws are enforced to stop people, wearing crucifixes or head scarf’s in schools or making a big thing out of someone crossing themselves in public, the world's gone terminally mad . clicky In defence of the Procurator Fiscal Service () there is a problem with sectarian violence arising from Celti-Rangers matches. The whole Catholic - Protestant thing spills out from NI to Glasgow in almost undiluted form. Boruc WASN'T cautioned for crossing himself. He was cautioned for the circumstances in which he chose to cross himself. This is less about religious freedom than inciting violence. Incidentally, a Scottish Caution isn't the same as an English one - there's no criminal record involved. In effect, he got a letter from the PF telling him that he "could" have been prosecuted for his actions, but isn't being on THIS occasion. In common parlance, he's been TELL'T to behave himself in future. That would & should have been an end to the matter, except for the local Catholic Church deciding to bleat about it and create a fuss. Mike.

  2. I read it as a State trooper FROM Auburn. Maybe still suffering from shock after recovering all those bodies from the plane crash. Mike.

  3. Auburn. Alabama?.. Which made someone send me these!!? The owner of a golf course in Alabama was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from Alabama University and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, then replied, "Everything but my earrings." A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied. "You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired. "A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured nobody's going to steal Henry!" A senior of Auburn was overheard saying... "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Auburn." When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Auburn because everything happens in Auburn 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world. The young man from Auburn came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was? "The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number." NEWS FLASH! - Auburn's worst air disaster occurred! when a small two-seater Cessna 150 plane, piloted by two University of Auburn students, crashed into a cemetery earlier today. Search and Rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the evening. The pilot and copilot survived and are helping in the recovery efforts. An Auburn State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-85. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?" The driver replied, "Bout whut?" A man in Auburn had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I have a flat tire." The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I never did understand it either." Or did somebody just do a "search & replace" on some old Texas jokes? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  4. He has certainly been typecast, particularly with his gymnastic ability. Having said that, given that he's a dwarf with European teeth, it's difficult for him to play "All-American". That's Tom Hanks's job, while Nick Cage plays the anti-hero or the brooding villain, keeping it nice and simple for the market. It'll be interesting to see what he appears as next now that he's away from the studio. As long as he doesn't team up with John Travolta in a sequel to "Earth - Final Battle" (or whatever that Hubbard trash was called). Mike.

  5. Thank you. I assume that was a compliment since I was proved right all along? Or did you miss Kallend's post. The "Jumbo-12" have been released and are getting to fly. Hopefully on the same delayed plane they were on yesterday! The problem with these "preventive" detentions is proving to be that they are all too easily driven by hysteria & xenophobia. More interestingly, notice how it's the "bottom of the market" airlines which are suffering them. I wonder if there's any causal link between being too dim to stay off "cargo-class" airlines and thinking that all dark skinned men must be terrorists? Mike.

  6. Yeah... It kept changing lanes and swerving in front of Neptune . Thing is, that it was either that, or re-promote Ceres (which used to be a planet) and "2003 UB313" which was provisionally named XENA in recognition (I assume) of Lucy Lawless's massive round thighs and arse!! Anyway... Back to Vinny's excellent suggestion: The Toast, Gentlemen & Ladies, is GUSTAV HOLST... Who was right all along! Mike.

  7. Hmmm... I'm not so sure that the studio is fed up with him because he's a petulant brat. They've stood that and smiled for years... While he was making them a profit! I suspect that they've dropped him because he's no longer a guaranteed earner at the box-office. In effect, they're losing MONEY on him, so he goes. As long as his presence in a movie was worth an extra $20xx in takings, they'd be happy for him to cost an extra $15xx since they still made an extra 5xx on the movie. Unfortunately, he confused the fact that they made a profit from him with the belief that he was loved & indispensible. Rather like Michael Jackson when his albums were guaranteed best-sellers. IF his next film makes loads at the box-office, you can bet they'll welcome him back with open arms, regardless of his behaviour. Mike.

  8. OK. My guess on the two occasions the world was fucked up are: 1. 1918 - Woodrow WIlson lies to Arab Allies after WWI & redraws the mid-east map. 2. 1953 - Ike authorises The Great Gonzo The Bold Kermit to install the Shah and thus sets the client-state precedent which has been followed ever since. The Marshall Plan didn't really make up for that, did it!!? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  9. Yep. More dark-skinned men discovered on a Northworst flight... To INDIA!!! I would have thought that behaving badly on a NWA flight would be the norm in response to the company's standards of service. "Cargo-Class" taken to it's ultimate. Mike.

  10. And will probably self-repair in 60 years!
  11. little premature to start throwing that around, don'tcha think? why don't we just wait and see just what their "concerning behavior" was... OK. If they're arrested tried and jailed, then it was a terrorist plot. If the "Jumbo-12" get to fly, then it's yet more stupid mass hysteria. Mike.

  12. Here's a start: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5278092.stm That's what happens when you let dark-skinned folk on a plane... To India! On TV News at the moment - seems the "Jumbo-12" are guilty of being Muslim so far!! Mike. Edited to add: From personal experience... Becoming suicidal on a NorthWorst flight out of Schipol isn't all that unreasonable! Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  13. You protest and protest... But you still keep reading, you minx! Getting back to the "Little Green Football" thing... By the time we've excluded all muslims, all dark-skinned men, especially with beards (just in case). All circumcised men. All men who've recently washed. Irish. Blacks. Japanese (remember their religious terrorist group - and their culture has a BIG suicide thing). Anyone who's been to Yugoslavia, The Middle East, Sri-Lanka, and anywhere with a -Stan in the name... There's only me left who can fly anywhere!!! Unfortunately, there's no pilots available because... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  14. Women who don't pull faces How can you tell under the niqab? Foreskins are great! They keep him warm in cold weather, prevent chafing to keep sensitivity... And give him somewhere to hide should the need arise. Truly one of Darwin's God's better design features!
  15. Ah. OK. So what did Muslims get in exchange for the mutilating scissor thing? I was told that it was because urine could lie under the foreskin and render them (religiously) unclean. I was still spot on for the American reason though!
  16. Willy-Checks won't work. Jews circumcise because Abraham swapped his foreskin for a promised land. Muslims circumcise because they're too lazy to wash under the foreskin properly. Americans circumcise because it's a medically proven fact that this operation makes money for doctors. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  17. Yeah... That's what's so interesting about this report. Ahmaninejad seems to be pissing the Ayatollahs (at least, the most senior one) off by being TOO nationalistic & anti-American... To the point where they are making preparations to take over foreign policy from him? This has possibilities.
  18. Oh dear, are we in a little morbid mood today, hmmm? Yes. I've been re-reading "Dynamite for Hire" (Hein Fehler) again. I have a first edition - the unedited one. It always leaves me a little irate toward blind bigotry, particularly by Americans. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  19. Suppressed? You gotta be kidding me. I can go to any bookstore anywhere and pick up a copy of the gnostic gospels. Suppressed my ass. The Catholic Church simply stated that the content of the gnostic gospels are not consistent w/ the other books of the bible. So... What do you call it when the only existent copies were taken from Alexandria on the orders of the then head of the Christian Church (St. Ataneus or similar) and buried in the desert for near 2000 years until they were found by accident! The Catholic Church's stance on these gospels, now that they're partly available, is about as convincing as their stance on The Magdalene Homes! Worse than Nixon on a bad day!! Mike.

  20. As far as cartoons go, I kind of need my periodic dose of JESUS and MO As far as the church's actions go... Perhaps they should have a look at The Gnostic Gospels... The ones suppressed by The Catholic Church (quelle surprise). Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  21. We *COULD* make them sew little green Crescents on their clothes... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.
  22. Iran's possession of Nuclear Weapons has been discussed in depth here. Nukes are by their very nature DEFENSIVE weapons. Iran's possession of them would most likely render the country uninvadable & immune from "regime-change" from outside. Strangely, this could in fact stabilise the region! Mike.

  23. Same with former US Marines driving vans nearby Federal building? Same with anyone with an Irish accent? Same with ANYONE who's been to Yugoslavia!!? Remember that film where a guy from Yugoslavia tried to nuke New York? That could give them ideas and he would have succeeded if it weren't for Nicole Kidman being there with a penknife! Mike.

  24. Kind of what you expect from a plane load of thick cheap-ass northern twats. There. Fixed it. NOW it's the perfect answer. And yeah... Monarch Airlines + Malaga = 2 week piss-up with English fish & chips, discos until 4am and a straw donkey stuffed with duty-free bootleg baccy! Blowing the plane up starts to look like a good alternative to spending 2 hours in their company! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

  25. Have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Iran#Presidents_of_Iran Ayatollah Khameni IS Khomeni's successor. Supreme (Religious) Ruler of Iran. Ahmaninejad is the President, but not the supreme ruler of the country. Hence, Khameni's dislike of the President for being too hard line is a good sign - The possibility that Khatami will regain power with a resulting thaw in Iran - West relations.
