The wheel that squeaks. ..
Gets the Lube!
Cobra Meeting Agenda Item — Sacking Smiffy for gross malpractice in giving £30,000 to Gay Pride March.
Cobra Meeting Minute — Dave said he was shit scared of the Gay Mafia, although he could not comment on the reasons on the grounds of National Security. Therefore there was no possibility of sacking Smiffy.
I consider Smiffy to be a fine upstanding member of the Gay Community
These Quangos continue to waste the extortionate tax we have to pay but seem to have no purpose. The whole lot should be abolished and then let's see what happens.
Smith. A word that signifies all that is wrong with the political elite.
Not in Somerset cottages — bumsex is not so enjoyable when the boy keeps moaning that his feet are cold and wet.
Our HQ is the greenest building in Britain. Money well spent, I'm sure you flood victims will all agree.
I see the EA and beeb are claiming that people who have not believed in AGW have been scared into believing by the floods.
That's wishful thinking to say the least.
If these floods were evidence of agw why is it that Britain suffered the same sort of catastrophic floods in 1484 then again in the 16th Century and then again in the 18th Century and with much greater loss of life than we've suffered this time. What manmade interventions were causing the floods then?
When I'm Prime Minister I'm going to have a bonfire of quangoes — hang on a minute — that was just another of my fucking lies.
What he is is a fine example of the worthless political troughing community
We must as a nation, all unite behind this old Queen.
The straight, gay, transgender, intersex, cisgender, androgynous, etc etc EA staff have all been equally incompetent at dealing with the floods.
It makes me proud to be British.
No gayers in our party, duckie! Us right wingers are all straight. Only lefties are poofs.
Don't insert factual information into the Greenie narrative. You'll spoil the story for them. In all those cases, it was an angry Gaia wreaking revenge upon mankind for the sin of merely existing.
The gay faces of Labour. Bryant, Smith, the Eagle Sisters and Mandelson. And Dave made them his number one priority?
I shaved my pubes, as a result I think I am walking faster.
We are being diverted to a silly story about mugs, when the real problems are the Environment Agency's crackpot theories, its contempt for ordinary people and its administrative obesity.
Ed Balls was always very cooperative, whatever the weather…
Britain was hideously white and mono cultural then and also not in the EU. It was racist, sexist, homophobic and that's why there were floods. You can't control me, I read the guardian and that practically makes me a scientist. We need more immigrants to make sure we have no more floods. We have 400,000 per year but we call that 'normal' and campaign for more.
There's a campaign (again) to get 'curvier' women into the fashion scene. I imagine they will be displaying the clothes on 'fatwalks', strengthened of course. But surely 'elfnsafety' will ban it, danger to watchers in case of a trip, the collateral damage could be considerable.
The institute of right wing made-up-olgy recently discovered that those people who persistently make so called gay jokes are usually gay themselves. In fact the institute found more comments about gay sex on this blog than on any gay website like Pink News.
The institute coined the following maxim:
Prove you are not gay by obsessively talking about gay sex.
It's called denial. Some teenage posters are trying to suppress their inner urges with anti-gay rantings on here.
Chris Smith is a fat fuck whose fingers are a little bit too light in the till.
Very simply, an incompetent thief.
Oh do f**k off. If you spent less time thinking about bum sex you might all be more efficient human beings.
So you mean we should be looking much more closely at the 11,000 mugs that work for Smith, or the 70 million mugs who are funding these idiots ?
Hmm… the mug narrative may be more powerful than it at first appears.
Well that's it, If you cannot get your BMI into a healthy range then we need to change people's perception of beauty.
Now, about those 6,000 calories a day you throw down your gullet, please continue doing so. A PR campaign to make you attractive should work!
The SNP saying that rUK not wanting to enter a currency union amounts to "laying down the law to Scotland" is hilarious.
Agreed, it plays well to the home audience. Scottish nationalism is all about having a chip on your shoulder. So is most Scottish identity.
In the middle classes, who don't tend to go on the terraces, that's because all the most successful Scots leave the country, mainly for London, leaving the losers behind.
(I'm not talking about people in sectors where you get a brass plate because you and your father are both freemasons, and then watch the money roll in from public-sector contracts or professional monopolies. Those guys stay in the auld country. But deep down inside, they know they're pathetic. That's why most of them are Calvinists.)
HOWEVER, the begging to enter a currency union with rUK does NOT go down well with the ratings agencies and in Basle! (Another illustration that all the clever Scottish PR guys are in London.) You're supposed to NEGOTIATE treaties with foreign countries, Alec. You're not supposed to say they're LETTING YOU DOWN by not signing what you want. Grow up! Don't say "Oh please England, won't you wipe our arses?" It's pathetic.
If Scotland couldn't get away with printing its OWN "scotto" currency – for the simple reason that nobody would buy it, because they've got so few assets to back it with – who on earth would want them in a currency union? Nobody.
They couldn't afford to peg the scotto to the GBP or EUR either, for exactly the same reason.
If they go independent, they'll have 2 choices:
1) Use the GBP as a foreign currency, the same way as Ecuador uses the USD. But the comparison stops there. Ecuador gets a lot of USD coming in (per the size of its economy) from US retirees. All Scotland gets is a few Germans, US citizens and Belgians on shooting weekends. Doesn't matter that some of them are bankers. Putting "Ecosse" and "Skottland" on car bumpers hardly makes Scotland an internationally happening place. It isn't. It never will be. It's too dour and too cold.
2) Print scottos. Players on the main derivatives bourses will then go absolutely mental to short the country. They'll be borrowing scottos wherever they can find them, and selling them short. I'd give the currency about 2-3 weeks.
Oh – and don't forget – there won't be any £85K-per-account Financial Services Compensation Scheme covering Scotland.
I also know of no parallels where polls inside a small country that might split away show a majority for staying in the existing union, and polls in the rest of the union show a majority in favour of it splitting away. How many people in Scotland actually know that?
Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join these two arse-holes in matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore is not by any to be entered into gently or lightly, but violently, publicly, buggery and sodomy. Into this holy estate these two arse-holes present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, they will be prosecuted for hate speech and r'aped.
Morning Waynetta. How i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶s̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶n̶ are the kids this morning?
Sky 2 did a 1 hr programme on the floods last night not one mention of dredging
the rivers just a opinion of their reporters but you might as well said we are in favour of EA as its climate change and the goverments fault.pathetic report.
A bit off message, but are we seeing the results of a Dave "deal" with Borosso coming to fruition……"I will make sure there is no UK vote on an in-out of the EU if you tell those pesky Scots they can't join the EU"….
Maybe I'm getting too cynical in my old age?
The 1484 model of the Ford Focus was particularly high in fuel consumption but by the 16th Century had somewhat improved I believe.
If you managed to get the tribe to school on time for the first time this month – I have two things to say to.
First – congratulations!
Second – it's half term this week!
Yes, I know, it's ridiculous. It's like with two poofs or lesbians adopting a child. The main discourse is about how they should be allowed to, because they want to.
Nobody would get any funding to research the effects on the children, which are obviously detrimental because they don't learn in a deep way from home experience about male-female interplay, growing up, and the family.
Nor is any scribbler able to say in the mainstream media that 'doing what you want' isn't the right basis for the psychological advance that occurs in a human being's head when they become a parent in the context of a stable heterosexual relationship with the other parent. Mustn't stay stuff like that. You'll be called the new Hitler.
And of course no-one would get funding to study what makes poofs into poofs in the first place. The dominant line is that it's like the colour of someone's skin – outside of their control and not the result of any influences they've experienced. Don't try to help them. Everyone do what they want. What sick times we live in!
Not at all, it seems the powers that be are all moving in unison to stop a Scotxit in it's tracks.
Some people are twats, and I can't get over how they rise to the top.
Gives a whole new meaning to "putting your finger in the dyke".
Talking of toilets, Chris Huhne was just on the Toady programme this am spouting his usual swivel eyed eco loon green propaganda.
As predicted many times on this site, the BBC are still paying him and ensuring his rehabilitation into the establishment is complete.
How many other convicted criminals does the taxpayer funded BBC give a mouthpiece to ?
I thought it was impossible to be too rich or too cynical.
But in this case I think the answer is no – because nobody (e.g. the Krauts) would want the Jocks in the eurozone (which is more important than the EU). The Krauts are wiping enough Irish economic arses as it is.
That Sky report was so biased I thought I was watching the BBC by mistake.
Only prominence given to climate change theorists,no balance or coverage
of the sceptics.No context of historical floods or changing weather patterns.
The climate change lobby is blatantly using the suffering of flood victims to
hammer home their discredited theories.
Yes – it is a complete mystery…
Study finds that while gay men share a similar genetic make-up, it only accounts for 40 per cent of chance of a man being homosexual.
I think Scotland would be equally successful using Bitcoin.
The taxpayer is always the mug. I see the media are after my successor Gerald Vernon Jackson now, who I brought in to Portsmouth to succeed me as he had the right CV; he had to resign from Newbury Council for corruption, is a member of the Lodge and is married to a man. Just the sort of quality Liberal Democrat Portsmouth needs. Boaz.
White Dee and Black Dee are like the 2 faces of Labour.
Nick Clegg hints at possible coalition deal with Labour in 2015
So if the Environment Agency had spent less time and tax-payers money distributing
childish mugs and sponsoring Gay Pride events, would they have had more time and tax-payers money to spend on dredging the rivers and shoring up coastal defences?
It is perhaps worth reminding oneself of the reality of what you are watching / reading, before switching on the TV or picking up a newspaper…
In the event of Scottish independence, will the Scots have to fund their bits of the BBC?
Dave should give him the elbow now and soldier on without a majority. Cleggy is a little Hunt and will lose his seat in 2015 – I don't even give a shit that it will be to Labour. He'll them be off to gravy train in Brussels.
HE'S A Hunt!
26% of Americans appear to believe that the sun orbits the earth.
The same as the proportion of Brits who think a Labour government would be the best at managing the UK's finances.
Seems that Nick is happy being the bridesmaid. Some aspiration for a politician.
I was taught as a child that the Libs liked to " run with the hare and hunt with the hounds".
Yes, the bone idle benefit scroungers down South are shitting bricks at the thought of an independent Scotland.
Without the tax revenue of Scottish oil,gas & whiskey the rest of the UK will have to actually start exporting something of value, otherwise they are fucked :-)
I read that story yesterday cat, unbelievable!
It's like they belong to some sort of secret club that does favours and covers up any shady activities.
So Nick has worked out that people like me (ex Tory party member who voted Lib Dem in 2010) are strongly considering voting Labour – as being the party that is likely to do least damage to this nation.
Will there be any Lib Dem MP's left or will they all have been banged up for perjury,fraud or sexual offences?
How can you have a coalition with a party with no MPs :-)
Clegg is already stabbing his coalition partners in the back – surely he's the last person Labour would want to go near?
Devious, unprincipled, sly.
You'll all be laughing on the other sides of your faces when you are stood at the standpipes filling your kettles come April.
To condem small defenceless children into this ' lifestyle ' of filthy unhygienic 'sexual '
practice and then pass it off as normal behaviour is possibly the ultimate in child abuse!
I am 80% confident that there is a possibility that maybe we are right.
Labour will have a working majority at the next election, and anyway, would be politically stupid to do any deal with the discredited Liberal Democrats and their duplicitous leader
Is that why he has a wife who looks like a boy?
Was there not a Welsh Tudor King on the thrown, must have been caused by all that eating and flatulence with record levels of wife consumption.
The BBC will be closed down in an independent Scotland.
No more Eastenders or shitty repeats.
Another reason to vote for YES in September :-)
The nationalists I suspect were under the impression that they could 'coin it' as others have, by exiting and re-entering the EU via independence.
Am not sure they are really that bothered about the £, but they are concerned about talk of how debts built up by the UK would be shared. S'cotland is a debtor nation, and its biggest problem is that it does not have enough resource to cover those debts.
EU cannot afford S'cottish independence as that would create major problems in S'pain and with S'erbia. I'taly can also be added into the mix.
S'cotland did have good political ties with South G'erman political parties, but their contacts were voted out of office the other year. The ongoing deterioration of G'erman finance also would have rendered any 'deal' drawn up between the two which was contingent on S'cotland becoming independent void now.
If S'cottish people truly desire independence then they should go for it. However, the price of independence will be high in the short to medium term, not because of petty opposition, but purely because they will need to independently establish a credible currency, banking system and industry capable of servicing the debt which they currently own outright, and which will be transferred from England upon leaving.
That should not be a barrier, as after independence they should be able to negotiate on more level terms with others, but must not be fooled into believing that those terms will be lower than they have now as on their own they simply do not have that much to offer.
The concern for England should be national security. After the vote, whichever way that turns out, the possibility of S'cottish born terrorism our side of the border will be increased.
If memory serves, Gordo B did quite well out of the 2007 floods politically. He was seen as rather capable.
I'm reminded, although on a far small scale, of what US commentators said about Bush and Obama's different reponses to New Orleans and Hurricane Sandy.
Basically, if you put people in charge of the state who are fundamentally hostile to the existence of the sate, the state will fail on their watch.
I meant of course that their negotiating terms would be lower than they are now as an independent S'cotland simply does not have as much to offer.
I really enjoyed this bit in #24: "I read the guardian and that practically makes me a scientist". Well said.
The Tory party can proudly say we've never had any woofters in our ranks. We're all straight shooters.
All this nonsense from the eco-loons that "the science is settled" on man-made climate change.
For nearly two thousand years the science was settled that the Earth was he centre of the universe and that the Sun & planets orbited it and anyone who said otherwise was a heretic and burned at the stake.
Then along came Copernicus & Galileo and the rest as they say is history, just like the Ptolemaic model :-)
They are raising the Thames Barrier again, now that stops sea water proceeding up the Thames but is going to stop all that lovely Surrey, Berkshire and Worcester entering the dump called Londonistan? Never mind The Two Fawkes will put everything right you cann't just leave it to Dave.
"A Welsh Tudor king on the thrown" you say. Where did he land?
Anyway, Henry Tudor did not win the crown from Dicky of York until 1485.
It's ok for Muslims to demand the don't want to work near or serve people pork or alcohol for cultural and religious reasons.
Yet if someone says they don't want to work with someone with HIV like Lord Smith for health and personal reasons, all hell would break lose.
Now i'm not homophobic, I had my experimental stage like everyone else and decided I liked women thats why i'm laughing at this irony.
As a disillusioned left winger you can't help but get disillusioned and laugh at the picking and choosing and naked hypocrisy within the movement.
Since when did cultural and religious reasons triumph over health and personal reasons, why does the left say ones ok and the others not.
"The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads him to England!"
You win this week's prize for the zaniest comment — and it's only Monday morning!
Least damage??? Short memory, my son!
A majority that with luck, will evaporate with the referendum in Scotland!
They could have their own show on the BBC "The Black & White Dee Show" :-)
Wait till you see the new Tory Party sponsored but plug! I'm wearing my now!
Give the cups to the people of Somerset to use for bailing out water.
That was written long before they discovered oil off the Scottish coast :-)
No doubt the first hosepipe bans of the summer will be in Somerset
The first hosepipe bans of the summer will of course be in Somerset
Dead right. Gay adoption was introduced, with indecent haste (no pun intended), just to assist the gay lobby's fight to make their lifestyle look normal. I feel so sad for the innocent kids thrown into this weird, volatile lifestyle. Imagine the bullying they will get at school;and they will! Worse still, the aspect no one will openly debate, the increased (?) chances of abuse – not that such a trend would ever be admitted or reported, as it would take second place to gay 'rights'.
Unfortunately the vast majority of the popu;at ion are incapable of doing that. That is what all these snake oil salesmen depend on.
A majority that with luck, will evaporate with Scottish independence.

I hear you say you are not homophobic.
However if you were homophobic would you be afraid to express the fact.
Could we get Smith and his gayer friends to use these mugs to bail out the flooded houses? Or more seriously shouldn't we be asking the public auditor to consider the use of public money for such purposes as not proper use?
I might, in that case, reluctantly consider emigrating to Scotland.
If £90,000 has been stolen surely it's a matter for the police, not a parliamentary committee?
Clegg is a bloody disgrace and should resign. This however whould require a level of moral courage, self respect and most importantly respect for the public I do not believe, like many of his kind, he has got.
Never mind about all female shortlists at Westminster. If they really want to reflect society at large then they need to introduce all hetrosexual shortlists.
I recently gave £15m of your money to cattle ranchers in Colombia, the world's 30th richest country, to help cut flatulence in cows. And there is fuck all you plebs can do about it.
Thanks for caring.
The Cons seem to have their fair share of Gays, most in the closet, marriages of convenience etc, don't forget Dave wanted to push "gay marriage" through, they had legal partnership why legal "gay marriage", interesting not a lot of dissent from the Cons in the vote. At least Rodrigo Lanzol y de Borja and his various offspring were straight but they did have other nasty foibles, especially Cesare Borgia who along with his pals had a habit of getting rid of anyone they didn't like in the Tiber. Initially a priest being the 3rd son of Rodrigo, then daddy created him a bishop until one of his older brothers died then left the priesthood, he was the inspiration for the novel "the Prince" which was reputed to be Maggies favourite read.

Any bets on how long it will be before the equally odious McShame will be in their pay too?
Is that the same 26% who believe the earth was made in six days?
Any body who is truly 'homophobic' should seek help , a 'phobia' implies a fear, when in reality, despite the protestations of the Guardian reading classes, most people react with a mixture of revulsion and disgust when the lurid details of these bizarre ' sexual ' practices are mentioned.
In the grand scheme of things, the Sun does orbit the Earth. Takes a very long time though.
And what preconceptions were brought to that 'study'? How would a gay gene be selected for? It's obviously not adaptive. It cannot possibly be adaptive.
Forty percent, shmorty percent. I note that the Telegraph couldn't bear not to write that "scientists say it could still be possible to develop a test to find out if a baby was more likely to be gay."
I confess the current practice of "normalising" deviant behaviour is abhorrent.
In nature the prime motivational force is the procreation of the species. That would be considered "normal". Behaviour other than that deviates from the normal and, in that case, is "deviant" by definition.
On a personal level I am only glad that homosexual behaviour is still optional. Although I'm not sure how long it will be before it becomes obligatory under threat of legal sanctions for those who do not indulge.
I am not famous among my aquaintances as a fan of Mandelson, but he rose a little in my critical estimation after the last G.E. when the limpdicks came slithering round to do a deal with labour and were shown the door by mandy and others.
And there's probably a joke or two to be had from the word 'manhole' too, although I'm too busy pumping to think of them….
I am sending the cows to Roedean firstly to learn better manners.
The LibDems are the party that look after cows from birth to burger.
Ed Davey is the next major fraud case and public resignation waiting to happen.
Once Yeo is finally laid to rest, Davey's neck is next on the chopping block.
All those that seem to be in jobbies for life constituencies when they leave the HoC are given life peerages, and then dive head first in to the chairmanship of one quango or another. Just watch after the next GE. Surely quangoes were developed origianally as government departments, usually overlooked by someone who hadn't a clue but looked good, They are no longer government departments but still overlooked by someone who hasn't a clue, ex politicos. The guys that matter are the ones on the ground engineers, and the guys that do the dirty work, not someone stuck in an ivory tower.
The EUSSR gravy train is the single reason why Clegg is desperate to shun a referendum on membership. A top paid non-job looms for himself and wife after his gang of scumbags is crushed into oblivion in 2015.
Don't tell me, the reason you haven't Dave is its impossible to light the bonfire when its underwater and the matches are wet!
This is the first time I agree with the eco loons. Climate change DID cause the floods.
Climate change is a political policy not a reality. They have fully bought into this future prediction, (nothing better than tarot cards) that they went out and changed how they dealt with rivers.
So the government policy of climate change was the cause.
At no time did the weather sign up to these policies and simply carried on as it has always. In the end there has to be a recognition that the flood areas in Somerset were created and are maintained by floods. They must also understand that in 1900 there were very few records of rainfall. These being near centres of population and did not cover the extreme rain fall in the surrounding hills. Due to the stupidity of the averaging that the Met office does, the figures can never show significant cloud events in localized areas due to the different tracks of the storms. So the EA build dams that can only cope with "average" high flows.
Why did Sheffield, Hebden Bridge etc. not flood this year? It is all down to the belief of averages and models. The models have no information on real extremes.
I know members of the Labour party(sorry!) who have said their party cards will be sent back to Millibore if such a pact is formed.
AND at Bosworth Richard was actually winning and Henry was losing until Stanley who was sitting on the sidelines on Ambion Hill decided that he'd get a better deal if his stepson was on the throne and supported the usurping Tudors
(Sorry – a good rant is no excuse for poor spelling… And that's another thing!)
The negotiations with the SNP over independence and the legislation will tie up the Commons and Lords for months. You can expect that the Tories in both Houses will introduce loads of amendments to the legislation so Miliband will be tied up for the whole 10 months May 2015 to March 2016 when Scotland become independent that no other legislation will progress very much. We'll also have the satisfaction of Labour being blamed by both the nationalists and unionists for the whole sorry mess.
With the Act of Independence all Labour, LibDEm and SNP MPs at Westminster representing Scottish Constituencies will be immediately disbarred and Miliband will either have to cobble together a colaition with the odds and sods of the LibDems remaining or govern as a minority government or resign. All the time the pound will be tanking and the recovery stopped
Of course the big exception is Londonistan and a few other port cities, even in the late forties outside cities, it was very rare to see a coloured faces or hear foreign lanuages, that has all changed now!
Rubbish, The Floods flooded the Flood plains. Nowt to do with a changing climate, which in this case was the weather.
Full responsibility must be assumed for the humans stupid enough to live on land that the river takes over in time of flood.
Precisely. And while they are at it, perhaps they would like to establish how the relatively simple matter of using an allowance to fund her parents' home should have taken 15 months to sort out. Too much long grass about? Time we got out the mower.
How many bastards have been on the throne of England since the Norman conquest, at least 2 but they legitimised themselves, marvelous what you can do when king.
The international propaganda in favour of gay marriage is interesting. It's in terms of tide: reference to 'the 18th country to introduce gay marriage', etc. They don't talk about the vast majority of countries in the world which don't allow it and probably never will.
The propaganda also says that if you oppose gay marriage then you are probably a religious fundamentalist. One poll asked people to select from three possibilities: a) pro gay marriage, b) anti gay marriage because it's against God's law, and c) anti gay marriage because it's not in accordance with the Bible.
There was no option saying anti gay marriage because it's bad for children and society.
Clearly we are not supposed to think about what's good for children and society. We are offered the choice of 'everyone do what they want' or mediaeval style theocracy.
There are also many articles filed from Russia and Poland suggesting that anti gay marriage means beating up gay men in the street and even torturing them. That is absolutely ridiculous. The vast majority of people in Russia oppose gay marriage for good social reasons and would neither engage in nor support such violent attacks.
There was even a ridiculous article in the Guardian by Priyamvada Gopal, a journalist of Indian origin, who argued that the Indian authorities should tear up their constitution just so as to legalise homosexuality, and that not to do so was to be servile to 'colonialism'. Surely some mistake?
How can anyone type such rubbish? She's a fellow at Cambridge, so I assume she knows that she was arguing that there should be ordinary law, constitutional law, and then, above the constitution, there should be the super super-law which says that men who bugger other men and suck their penises should be treated the same way as normal men in all circumstances. I mean even if someone is in favour of the gay tide, they should be able to have the honesty to admit that the source of the international gay movement, of the international push for gay marriage, is in the western world. Sure, some gays want to support their brothers in Zimbabwe, but the source of the lobby, of the PR, is in the west. It is psychological warfare if ever I've seen it.
Parliament is full of people who think they know what they are doing but haven't really got a clue

No it doesn't. The Sun orbits the Solar System barycentre, as do all Solar System bodies, which lies within the body of the Sun itself and it also orbits the galactic centre every 250 million years.
Too right. We'd fucked the economy and the best policy was to sit on th opposition benches whining while the tories tried to fix it shackled by the limp dems.
How about all state-sector-schooled-and-not-related-to-politicians shortlists?
Silly buggers! Why waste the stamp money? Just tear the bloody things up or shove them through the shredder. Remind them to cancel the direct debits too.
Why wait? We have lots of spare chopping boards lying around.
Union ? What Union ?, very true he felt slighted by Richard who administered the north of England during his brothers regien over a castle near Carlisle. Would, on that tack, would William of Normany (the Bastard) actually have succeeded in his invastion if Harold's brother Tostig and Harald Hardrada not invaded the north forcing Harld to march north to Stamford Bridge and fight a pitched battle then march back down south. Only very shortly after, a matter of a few days, the Normans were invading, if after the first repulse of the Norman knights. if his men had done as they were told, not break their lines, the battle of Hastings might have had a very different outcome.
Can they repay all the money we spent
bailing out their failing banks?
I don't know about that, Jeremiah… There's 600 ish bastard commoners in the HoC who have legitimised themselves as well.
"administrative obesity" managers, managers, managers, Sir Bill that is the trouble with this country, everyone wants to be a manager and they are empire building, it's just the folkes that actually do the job that get made redundant, when that happens why so many managers, oh I get it they use outside contractors to do the dirty work.
The word "Homophobia" irritates me every time that I hear it.
Those who spent ages over nasty Latin words at school will well be aware that "homo" from the Latin–rhyming with Perry Como, relates to Man and "Homo"– from the Greek–rhyming with Tommo, relates to "The Same"– so Homo Sapiens means "wise man" and Homogenous (pron. hommogenous) means evenly mixed and Homosexual (pron Hommosexual) means same sex interests.
"Homophobia", usually pronounced in the Latin style, is supposed to indicate fear of, or dislike of Homosexuals.
It is a silly made-up ignorant expression. If someone who dislikes women is a misogynist and someone who dislikes humanity is a misanthrope and a dislike of men is misandry, then to follow the convention a dislike of homosexuals would require a Greek word meaning bum-bandit.
The problem is that Greeks who know a lot about such stuff and had different words for the various things that poufs do to each other–one for the doer, one for the receiver, one for the sucker, one for the suckee and so on.
There is a Greek word– ανώμαλος–anomalos that could apply to homosexuals of all techniques, but it can also mean to pervert, as in the course of justice. Possibly the best choice would be Σόδομα–Sodoma, understood in almost every language, but using that word someone who found that act offense would be a Misodist or maybe a sodophobe.
My favourite is ἀρσενοκοίτης– arsenokoites, which, surprisingly, comes from ársēn, a male, and koítē, a bed, but this is really for the Bugger not the Buggee, but to admit to being a misarsenist, works well and gives the opportunity to show the ignorance of people who didn't go to school.
What is wrong with 38-28-34, I don't think Fawkes would complain about those figures, they look ok to me. On the other hand you aren't one of those who prefers 56-34-36?
You should try reading the posts you want to reply to.

Boris on British Jihadis. Apparently based on MI5 intel:
"If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w***ers. Severe onanists. They are tortured. They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort — which of course is no comfort."

Time for a paradigm shift
Date: Thursday 1 November 15.45–17.15 AbstractHealth research utilizes the natural and social sciences: empirical sciences based on hypothesis testing through observation or experiment. As such, scientific evidence is subject to and derived from our experiences or observations. Scientific communities consist of researchers who share paradigms. They have similar educational backgrounds, have absorbed the same technical literature and drawn many of the same lessons from it. As a result, members of a given scientific community see themselves and are seen by others as responsible for the pursuit of a set of shared goals. Within such groups, communication is relatively full and professional judgments fairly unanimous. Global health research consists of scientific communities with varying paradigms joined in the pursuit of a common goal: to address the `10/90' gap. Professional communication across group lines can be demanding and at times results in misunderstandings or unexpected disagreement. The global health research community aims to address global health challenges and enhance equitable access to health, decision-making and governance. With this objective in mind, communication, as well as information and knowledge management are essential to success. During the past decades, the global resource allocations for health and health research have increased, but limited coordination of narrowly channeled funding for high-profile diseases has weakened the national health and research systems, largely hindering equitable growth and sustainable development. This, and the increased global focus on externally defined result frameworks and indicators, is likely to result in a further weakening of the national health and research systems. It is time for a paradigm shift. In the pursuit of new values aiming at a more holistic approach to health, and as an integrated part of equitable development, global health research communities need to cease circular arguments in defense of their paradigms. The international community needs to harmonize its efforts in support of locally-owned national development plans and budgets, which enable low- and middle-income countries to take ownership of development, and invest in health and health research capacity-building, as an integrated part of the national programme for science, technology and innovation. |

Barbara Marsella, RN, Pure Body Works, Wesley Chapel, Florida
By Cathy Christensen
Posted: April 23, 2008, from the September 2007 issue of
Skin Inc.
It is well-known that change is one of the only things that remains constant. This is true for most aspects of life, none more so than careers. Often, change can feel like it turns the world upside down, and it seems that embracing it is the only way to come through unscathed. The ability to do this is a skill at which
Barbara Marsella, esthetician and registered nurse, of Pure Body Works in Wesley Chapel, Florida, excels. As a long-time veteran of the health care industry, she began her career as a medical assistant. After climbing the ladder to become an office manager and then going to nursing school, Marsella honed her medical, as well as her people, skills. "I love people. I love taking care of people," she explains. Because of her enjoyment of the one-on-one aspect of her job, Marsella worked as a home-based health aid. After completing her education, she decided to work in a hospital in order to strengthen her continuing education.
"I went directly into the intensive care unit, but it was too emotional. You get involved with the families, crying and mourning with them. I was crying all the time and thought, 'I need to get out of this,' " says Marsella. Soon, she moved to the emergency room where she was able to stabilize patients and send them on. It was in the midst of all this stress that Marsella began to embrace esthetics.
"I had a dermabrasion treatment and permanent makeup and loved it," she explains. When the owner of the establishment that performed these services moved, Marsella decided to take a chance and buy the business. After enrolling in a permanent makeup and esthetic school in 2004, she opened Marsella's Face, Body & Soul in Dade City, Florida. Although she had to close the business's doors recently due to heavy competition in a small area, Marsella hasn't let this setback define her. Now working at Pure Body Works, the official massage therapists of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, she is once again embracing change. "The exposure to the white collar and executive world at Pure Body Works is priceless," explains Marsella.
It has confirmed that she does her craft well. "When you go into the executive world, you know that you are achieving what you've learned to make people feel happier and look younger," she says. "You have completed what they want and they come back and you know you're a success."
Right now, life is in a transition stage for Marsella, and she recently has decided to trace her roots back to the Midwest. Returning to Indiana after 33 years to visit family, Marsella realized it is where she would like to remain. Though still living and working in Florida, once settled in Indiana, she hopes to realize her dream of owning a medical spa where she can combine her knowledge of the medical and esthetic fields. Marsella admits, however, that she needs to learn more about the business aspect of such a venture. "You can never stop learning," Marsella says.

Boating facility scheduled to open in Rhode Island
Posted onThe new Maritime Center in Newport, R.I., is scheduled to open in late May.
Located in the historic Newport Armory, the $1.46 million facility is owned by the city. The project has been in the planning stages since 2008.
Designed for transient boaters, the aim is to provide all of the amenities visitors require to make their harbor stay enjoyable.
The armory, erected by the state of Rhode Island to house the R.I. Militia in 1884, is in the heart of the harbor and waterfront business district.
The Maritime Center project, designed by Torrado Architects, has rehabilitated 8,000 square feet of the building. Facilities will include storage lockers, restrooms and showers, laundry, vending machines, a lounge with charts and Internet access, a concierge/information desk and office space for the facilities manager, and display cases for the brochures of local attractions.
The adjacent Ann Street Pier offers public dockage for vessels as large as 40 feet, a dinghy dock, pumpout facility, trash disposal and a stop for the Harbor Shuttle.

Let's all thank the environmental whackos for their diligence in preventing drilling for oil in Alaska, Colorado, Utah, offshore of California, New Jersey and Florida.
There may be a few places missed. You whackos don't know what a great service you have done for our country and maybe the world. Thanks for the high priced gas.
In 20 or 30 years the U.S. is going to become not only self sufficient, but maybe even an exporter to China, India and even Saudi Arabia as they pump their last drops from beneath the sun-baked sand.
What seems to be short term stupidity of these narrow minded idiots will seem like long term genius in the years 2040 and 2050. Then the world will be kissing our hind end to buy our oil as we will be one of the last remaining huge oil reserves.
By then we will be drilling in all those places and be damned the polar bears, sea otters, butterflies and other assorted creatures. Natural selection will rear it ugly head again. Man is the top of the food chain. Let's hope it doesn't cause a war.
By then (2050) the fight could be over potable water and how to limit world population growth. That's the real problem - too many people.
The "green people" will have long given up their fight to restrict oil production because they will want to bring gas prices down to $8.00 a gallon. $15.00, they will claim, is too high.
I'm not kidding. That is the course we are on now.
Make them uncomfortable enough and their hearts and minds will follow.
That politically correct stupid you voted for in Congress is determined to let the whackos have their way - no matter what it costs YOU. They gave him money to have him re-elected - again and again. What did you give him? Your vote. Are you going to do that next time?
It is not necessary to send our money overseas for petroleum. The U.S. has 5 times more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. Congress could allow drilling to start any time.
Thanks to the whackos we are saving that oil for a rainy day. Well, not exactly rainy; if it is hot and humid you won't be allowed to turn on your air conditioner. Congress might even outlaw manufacturing of A.C. units. Don't laugh. They have done dumber things. Try ethanol or farm subsidies for nearby examples.
The world is not going to run out of oil, coal, wind, water or sun. Or obstructionists who don't want to tap those resources "for your own good". Of course, they are a lot smarter than the rest of us.
Next time you vote just remember how grateful you are to all those environmental whackos. Maybe they can get oil up over $200. Thanks a lot.

Pontiac Grand Am
Continuing on from 1999 Pontiac GrandAm...
My gas mileage in the SE1 V6 has been around 23 miles to the gallon with a mix of city and highway. Probably more highway then city though. I too have been good about not hot rodding around since it should still be on break in. I am hoping that it at least averages 25 after break in.

midlifecrisis Posts: 391I'm thinking of buying a 1999 Gran Am GT-1 or waiting until the 2000's come out. Anybody have an idea when this will occur? Also, I would like to get any feedback on the major problems I've heard about the GT:
Poor gas mileage
Wind Noise
Very stiff suspension, feeling all road irregularities
Back up lights filling with dirt and water
Stiff, uncomfortable seats for long drives
Leaking door seals and trunks
Poor legroom for front passenger
Chips in hood paint
Dead spot in center of steering control
Poorly aligned door panels, etc.
Were most of these problems encountered with cars built in 1998 during the GM strike? -
jrbush Posts: 1Well I appreciate the responses that I have gotten from my gasmileage question. I took the GT on its first highway trip today and got about 26 miles to the gallon. That is not too bad but I was hoping for better. Something else has occured to me. Has anyone noticed that the tire pressure seems rather soft? For instance my car door indicates that the tire pressure should be at 30 psi, which to me seems very low. Therefore has anyone else got a different tire pressure for their GT. I wouldn't normally worry about it but the tires are rated up to 44 psi and 30 just seems too low. This is my 4th car and I have never had a car tire that was inflated at anything less than 35psi. Anyway my point is that if the tires are too soft then that could be affecting the gas mileage. Nevertheless any comments on this matter would be appreciated.
matty11276 Posts: 1I just purchased a 99 Grand Am SE1 today, but won't actually get the car for another day. I went and looked at the car tonight with a friend just because I was so excited to see it for the first time (it just arrived tonight at the dealership). while looking at the car, my friend an I joked a bit about racing the two cars once I get mine and both agreed that my Grand Am will definitely be much quicker off the line do to the V6 3.4 liter engine I elected to get. Though the car is supposed to be somewhat quick off the line, I wondered if it would shut down at a certain speed. Does anyone that likes to speed a bit have any comments on how their car performs above the 70 mile an hour mark? My friend felt that it would shut down, but I'm dying to prove him wrong by blowing him away!
mstan1 Posts: 9I purchased a 1999 GrandAm SE2 in February. Some people have mentioned chips in the front hood. Is this an inherent defect? I just thought it was from road construction. If it is a defect, does Pontiac recognize this and fix it ? I have absolutely no other complaints. The car is red with a air-foil on the back, has good MPG (28.5 hwy and 25 city/hwy). No leaks or anything.
I've been polishing and waxing it with Meguiars in my spare time. It always looks slick. My wife thinks I'm nuts spending so much time detailing the car. I even bought all cotton USA bath towels for polishing and waxing.(as suggested from Zaino site) -
hugobecker Posts: 45matty11276 - I don't have any first hand experience with Grand Ams and speed limiters, but most manufacturers limit the top speed (using the ECU) to the speed rating of the OEM tires. On the V6 Contours equipped with Firestone Firehawk tires the speed is limited to 112 MPH. I seem to remember that the speed of some GM cars is limited to 105 MPH.
*_DON'T_* run it to the limiter the first day you get it though, wait until after the break in period (or better yet give it a thousand miles and one oil change) before really getting on it. Your new car will last a little longer if you do. Check your tire pressures before making any high speed runs also. Underinflated tires can be dangerous at speed. -
szerfas Posts: 53The fastest I have had my SE1 V6 to is a little over 75 miles. It was very smooth at that speed. For how smooth it was it might as well have been 50.
I have not washed mine yet once. I wanted to make sure that I did not use the wrong thing and put swirls in the clearcoat or anything. When you wash your do you spray it then apply the polish. I assume that at some point it gets dirty enough that you have to wash it before you can polish it. Also for the rims do you use that no touch ArmorAll on it? Just curious, thanks.
That does not seem like a great deal. Those miles that you are giving up are going to be the best ones for it. I like to keep my cars a long time and how it was treated for those first few thousand miles can make a big difference on how it lasts. I would shop around or getting a lower model new one. I think you will be happier in the long run. They have some rebates and financing going on right now too.

dragonclaw Posts: 6The ram air is Pontiac's way of saying intercooler. While having only 5 more ponies the gear ratios are different than in the se and this leads to much quicker takeoffs.
You are not only paying for the engine but remember the GT comes with 4 wheel disc (se front disc rear drum) and "sport" handling, and the rims and tires are different. The GT has low profile tires. Also the exhaust system is different.
The thing that I liked about it was that I needed to option alot of things to fully load a se (14 I think) but with the GT I needed only to include 4 options for my car. I left the chrome wheels and leather off.
Besides I think the engine has more than what Pontiac is listing... I will have to check that out -
hugobecker Posts: 45
L8_Apex Posts: 187Pontiac's "Ram Air" has no relationship to an intercooler. The Ram Air is simply a less restrictive intake that, if true in name, uses the velocity of the car to force a little more outside air into the induction system. "Ram Air", like "Wide Track" is more marketing than engineering but the rest of the improvements you've listed are genuine.
Intercoolers are typically used in supercharged or turbocharged vehicles to cool the intake charge for a greater charge density. It's a small radiator of sorts. -

karn Posts: 8I know this may be a little off the subject, but does anyone know how to find the paint code for the 99 grand am gt. I read the manual which told me to look under the spare tire cover. Did that and found 45+ codes, but they don't specify what the codes belong to. My car is a lease so I'd rather not go to my dealership for the touch up paint I need. Also, is anyone having problems with the steering seeming to loose at times and pulling during hard stops? I only have 3100+ miles and don't know if it just needs an alignment or not. Hopefully, I'll be taking the car into the dealership soon, but I would like to touch up my shopping cart dings before doing so. (That's if I can figure out the darn paint code for topaz gold metallic!!!!!)
toblong Posts: 1I RECENTLY PURCHASED A '99 GRAND AM SE. FR0M TIME TO TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL MILES AND SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WITH LESS THAN 700 MILES ON IT. NOW IT HAS 5000 MILES. I PLAN TO GET IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THE LIGHT IS NEVER ON WHEN I AM NEAR THE DEALER. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES?
mstan1 Posts: 9Jeb,
When I brought my '99 GrandAm SE2 in to the dealer for the 5,000 mile checkup and oil change, the service manager said that they were aware of the CHANGE OIL light coming on as early as 1,200 miles. Mine came on at 5,000 mi. The dealer in your area should also be aware of this and it should be taken care of.No other problems with mine. -
vernd Posts: 3I purchased my 99 GT1 fully loaded with leather and the chrome wheels and I love it. I average 24.5 mpg in combined driving. I already have 3800 miles on it and it is only 2 1/2 months old. The hood getting chipped is from road debris. On the expressway, rocks fly up and skip across about midhood.
angeladen Posts: 1I am considering purchasing a grand am se2 -- but while test driving, I felt that the large headrest blocked my view out the back. The mirrors seemed more than adequate, but I am concerned about blind spots with changing lanes and gauging distance while backing up. everything else about the car was fairly impressive. has any recent (short) buyer experienced visibility problems? any input is much appreciated.
melissas Posts: 1Reading all of these is very informative, I have been looking at purchasing a 99 GT1 Sedan, has anyone asked their dealer about the paint chips, everyone is discussing? If so, did they give you a reasonable explanation? For the most part you all really like the cars, I haven't really heard a negative person on here!
bogacki Posts: 1All Grand Am fans:
Look forward to the new Grand Am Supercharged/Touring edition of the current Grand Am GT. From what I've read, ASC and Pontiac are close to releasing the car into production. In fact, almost all the mods are production ready. The car is incredible! Watch out Grand Prix GTP owners! Basically the car is the new Grand Am GT with the following additions: a Magnusson-Eaton designed supercharger unit, 18" multi-spoke wheels and tires, modified exhaust system, "true" Ram Air designed hood, BMW M3 style ground effects with modified wing, and Recardo leather seats (front and back). The only mod needed to be done to allow the car to meet standard warranty is a modified transmission. This will either be a modified version of the present tranny used in the all new Grand Am's, or a replacement with the 3800's. Although the head designer of ASC wants to see the car get a 5-speed manual. Wouldn't that be great! The car has been track tested and a 0-60mph time has been confirmed at 5.9! That time was taken with the stock 4spd automatic transmission, and on stock 16" Eagle RSA's! Talk about incredible! And the supercharger is only putting out 5psi of boost! Imagine the performance after a pulley changeout. There is no reason that it can't be pushed to 8 or 9 lbs. My guess is that the car can be brought down to the low 5's (0-60). I'll have to look at the article again and see what the 1/4 mile time was. This car is definitely Pontiac's tuning future. If they indeed go with a stick, watch out Camaros, Firebirds, Mustang Cobras (and maybe even Vettes). -
szerfas Posts: 53ANGELADEN:
I have had my GrandAm SE1 for about a month and have noticed what you are talking about. At first it bothered me but at the same time I noticed how big and well placed the side views mirrors are and now the headrests do not bother me so much. I think if you get the upgraded interior(SE2 maybe) the headrests are of the design with the hole through them. That might help you. I still look to the side to change lanes but the side mirrors are about the most useful I have found in any car I have driven.
Happy motoring. -
ethbag Posts: 1I'm getting ready to buy my first new car and at this point it's the grand am GT sedan. From what I've seen I love the thing and I really haven't heard many negative things about it. I'm looking for a somewhat sporty sedan and this one seems to be the best for the price. Does anyone have any complaints or criticisms about the vehicle? Any great praises?
dragonclaw Posts: 6ethbag: I got my Grand Am GT sedan in May. Now I would sing about it but I can't carry a tune in a suitcase.
The only complaint I have about the car is the rearview mirror creates a large blindspot. Now this might be caused by my height (6'2") or the way I happen to sit in the car. Once I discovered the blind spot and learned to correct my driving style to avoid it I can find no other faults with it.
I am more than happy with my Grand Am.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Frankie!
Facts about Frankie
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Frankie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Other Pets at No Paw Left Behind
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Frankie, a Lighthouse Point Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Lighthouse Point, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Lighthouse Point.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lighthouse Point already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lighthouse Point breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lighthouse Point paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Lovely entry to Adelaide"
17th September 2013, Cartravellers, Melbourne, Australia
Fairly easy entrance from Freeway but could have had an earlier sign as we turned into Botanic Gardens which was next door to the hotel. Only negative for us was the weather which really "closed" in after our arrival which prevented us from exploring the gardens and the Summit. However it was the perfect excuse to enjoy afternoon tea in front of the fire in the library. Having the use of their chess & billiard rooms was also a bonus.

"Stay at Grand Mercure Crafters Disappointing"
2nd October 2012, BHS55, Brisbane, Australia
We found this hotel experience disappointing compared to our frequent stays at ACCOR Group Hotels. Considering this was classed as a Grand Mercure, room and service standard was closer to a 2 to 3 star hotel. Bathroom was quite mouldy in 2 or 3 areas, tea stain on bathroom tiles from first day still there on 3rd day after 2 room services, and dust was visible on skirting boards. Restaurant service at breakfast was almost non existant, tables not cleared during the 45 minutes we spent in the restaurant, and although breakfast still had over an hour to run after we arrived, buffet had not been replenished and choice remaining very limited. A very disappointing experience compared to our previous pleasant experience with other ACCOR Hotels such as Mercure, Novotel and Grand Mercure.
