i thought i was still quite new but i've been here a year now. nearly 1000 posts. not even 2% of these are political. 58% are probably sexist. and the rest is just drivel of other sorts. so i welcome these new posters as they're bound to be a bit more interesting no doubt.

11 June, 2008 - 22:19

I will grudgingly admit that is mildly amusing.

11 June, 2008 - 22:44

Yeah Bob doesn't count as new, but is definitely appreciated. Especially the recent post about the jeans with the hyroglyphics on the arse.

Conor - I don't get that video you posted? Could you explain the joke to me, using terms like 'this wheeler-dealer, Del Boy' and 'unbeknownst to Del Boy the bar had been moved' ?

11 June, 2008 - 23:19

ah you're a good woman Jess, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. a good woman indeed.

well basically, and I haven't got time to get into the complexities of the scene, but basically the gist of it is...
this one guy, a sort of wheeler-dealer type cheeky chap loveable rogue you might say, is standing at this bar with his friend. Now, our wheeler-dealer friend here has a bit of a reputation for himself and is eyeing up some ladies with his pal in a manly way. Nudge-nudge wink-wink etc.
So anyway, nonchalant as anything, he is ready to make his move. But, patient as he is, he decides to set the mood with a bit of casual manly leaning against the bar, which is next to him.
Well, unbeknownst to our cheeky chap, in the preceding seconds, a member of bar staff had moved the bar - so, when our loveable rogue friend attempts his manly casual leaning, his weight is no longer supported. Gravity being what it is, he proceeds to fall over, his centre of gravity is no longer above his base, and his bodyweight collapses to the floor. right over. Onto the floor. CRASH!
It's hilarious. It's funnier when you see it in real life. Probably funniest moment in british comedy.

whoa. Territoriality or what. To badly paraphrase Eddie Izzard, if you haven't put a flag there, it's not yours.

12 June, 2008 - 11:11

I could put a flag there. eek

avoiding the obvious jokes and double entendres (feel free to chip in, everyone else)
Pix or it didn't happen and ownership is not proved. Ask Jack nicely to make a littlle flag on your behalf, and claim her until you can take over at a later date.

You'll do well here.

12 June, 2008 - 11:19

12 June, 2008 - 11:21

Not before you take that cricket bat and make someone your bitch.

How sordid. A woman isn't some island to be invaded like the Falklands you know. They have feelings and all sorts of things, at least when they are real.

I dunno. Approach a woman wrong and it can turn into a bloodbath.

12 June, 2008 - 11:27

Which is not entirely unlike a ninja. black bloc

12 June, 2008 - 11:28

didn't say you were. besides you could take a different approach that is slightly less colonial, and offer her a tempting array of consumer goods with the promise of a better future for her children, etc etc.

Contravene health and safety by laying down a garment designed to repel rainwater? I would never do that.
