As I've posted a few times, I DO make an attempt to adapt my spelling and etc to fit in. A few of the more amusing words/phrases I latch onto, mainly because they are a better way of saying whatever it is. 'Summat' a perfect example. Along those lines, I hope it's appreciated that us Yanks get beat up with spellcheck for every 'colour' or 'neighbour' or 'theatre' or 'centre' being typed. If you see a Yank posting proper know that they put some effort into it. I'll be happy to pass along 'cuntbiscuit' as much as possible. SC

Fucking scientists want to tax my bacon butties. Fuck off https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46122227 We get it. Shit food is bad for you. So fecking what. 6,000 deaths? 600,000 people give or take a few tens of thousand die a year in the uk. It's a very small amount. This isn't like smoking where 120,000 people a year die from it. Leave my bacon buttie alone until death rates are the same.

I've no idea who Shalom Ouagadougou is. Think it's in Burkina Faso or somewhere round there. I was dead proud when Rad and Joey and co started using "nowt" and Brackers and what not (and ending sentences with "and what not"). Export all the lingo. I need to start using stuff like cuntbiscuit (eg "Boris Johnson is a right cuntbiscuit") and see if that travels to the US too...

This forum has def influenced my lingo as well. A frequent user of "bollocks" when frustrated, now!

Donald and Ivanka? Or if you really mean non-romantic relationships, Donald and Melania

Sir Creep's goal in life is to become an amalgamation of everyone here.

6 arrested for the bonfire, 0 arrested for the fire in the Tower... Whits worse ?

Fantastic wailing in Across The Board. Probably even better than the wailing in Aerie (Gang Of Eagles). My heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread - Grace is one of my DDP untouchables that I shall *never* put in my team unless she is actually gravely ill. Don't do that to me, Deathlist!

I doubt it will make a difference. How many things has he got passed there in the last 2 years? Less than 2 is it? Liberal cuntos will whine impeachment, but not on the cards, be a waste of time and money. Deathers got the scape goat right, 4 more right, and I too would put his house on it, if he had one.

and you thought you had it hard https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-46120627

A so-so night as a whole. Getting the House is excellent, and my state made me proud in flipping 3 seats to the Dems. Senate tanked as expected - but I guess it could've been a lot worse given how dreadful a map it was for the Dems (though Nelson losing was a surprise to me). Like Joey I'm proud of Beto's result and while it was too early for him, I think it sets a solid framework for Texas Dems in the future. Governorships were disappointing with several potential Dem pickups failing, but they at least made gains there, and seeing Kobach and Walker go down in particular was satisfying.

Solo stuff was good too.

Really not a good night for the democrats in the senate. So far, the Republicans flipped Indiana, North Dakota, Missouri, and Florida with Montana and Arizona still yet to be called. Wasn’t all bad there, the democrats were able to flip the seat in Nevada, and while Beto O’Rourke did lose to Ted Cruz, the fact that he was able to make that seat a fight is absolutely amazing. Democrats will control the House though, and while it wasn’t the blue wave they were hoping for, they did flip a few seats that you thought would never go Republican, including one house seat in my own state of Oklahoma!

A Nevada brothel owner and reality TV star who died last month after fashioning himself as a Donald Trump-style Republican candidate has won a heavily GOP state legislative district. Dennis Hof defeated Democratic educator Lesia Romanov on Tuesday in the race for Nevada's 36th Assembly District, which includes rural communities and large stretches of desert in the southern part of the state. County officials will appoint a Republican to take his place in the seat. SC

It's amazing who the winners and losers are in the obituary column. Those who have tapped into the psyche of the obit writers will succeed, the rest of us shake our heads once again. Am I saying Ouanounou should have had a QO? Not really. But who is this cunto? Could just be luck of the draw and slow news cycle weekend Sunday or summat~~.... SC BTW Scientists are very concerned about an Ouanounou object in the sky...

The guy who made that is an interesting fella....

When I was listing the 15 I think should be taken off. I got to 14 and the last place was hard to pick because I could understand why each of them would deserve a place on the list. So I would say there are at least 27 good names remaining but the committee might have BETTER names.

TUNE.

I was speaking to an American colleague today who told me that the US election coverage always throws up bizarre state laws that are still in place. I've done no research to validate these but he tells me that 1) Colorado – by virtue of a language technicality – is the last state in the US where slavery is still legal. An attempt to change that last year failed at the ballot box as some other tax matter was connected to it and people voted no. 2) Georgia - it is technically illegal and punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years for a women to “be on top” during sexual relations.

Islam is a mental illness.

Bohemian Rhapsody. There are movies you say 'I can't get those 90 minutes of my life back'. This one you'll be mad it has ended after 120.
