Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted January 22, 2014 I've been pondering starting this thread for a little while because I got sick of the "Things To Do While Waiting For Death" thread, and how everything has to be parsed into a supposedly cute/funny sentence that fits in with the concept of the thread.Like, if I was posting this news story which I just saw, in that thread, I would have to say..."Pretend it's the 1950s".And that's getting kind of lame so I decided to make this all-purpose thread for every time you want to share something you saw on the internet/in a newspaper.Saw this in the Daily Mail (where else?).http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2543580/The-people-STILL-living-like-1951-Captivating-portraits-look-inside-Americas-Rockabilly-community.htmlWhat does everyone think? I have to admit I wouldn't mind tasting a bit of the American 1950s life (especially the girls) but it must get weird after a while. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonecold 51 Posted January 23, 2014 There really are some knobs out there. However having some strange calling to the 50s is nothing to the loon who celebrates Christmas everyday (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1088872/Man-celebrates-Christmas-day-scaling-celebrations-credit-crunch.html). Perhaps we should just have a looney thread 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This so called Mr Christmas lives in the town next to me, and not only is he a cock, but, according to many of his neighbours and local townsfolk, he's an absolute fucking bullshitter as well, and has been trading off the back of this farce for many years. Mr Christmas, my arse - Mr Fucking Twat more like. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted January 23, 2014 On my main footie forum there is a 'random shite' thread much like this and yesterday someone posted a 10 sec gif of a girl kneeling in a wooden box (I thought it was a magicians trick at this point), then gets covered in concrete and when set in a block, starts the porn shoot. The next post was a map of the World, coloured in by a countries principle sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If ''cannibal'' there would be none left after a while or am I missing something? Yeah, you'd think so, although the phrase "breeding like rats" might have some relevance here, I'm not sure. Maybe the little blighters have set aside some separate rooms on the ship which are designated "shagging only, no eating". Just to keep the numbers up and keep the party going!

They might have a point. In the first flat I lived in, my bathroom had no windows, hence my extractor fan came on automatically every time you switched the light on.

charon 4,943 Posted February 20, 2014 After his sacking Avram Grant decided - after a chance comment from a Russian interviewer - to search for his grandparents graves. They had been victims of WW2 in a tragic way: Living near Warsaw they fled the Germans due to being Jewish but the Russians then branded them 'fascists' and exiled them to Komi - an area governed by GULAG system. They died when his Dad was 13 and he somehow survived without them for 4 years before getting away from their tiny village. Anyway the nearest town to the now vanished village is Syktyvkar and when there preparing to find the graves a local historian told him that buried in the local cemetery were the grandparents and parents of Roman Abramovich...in a strange twist of fate his grandparents had been exiled there from Lithuania in 1940 in exact same circumstances as Grant's: escaped Nazis, sent to camp by Soviets. Grant laid flowers at their grave...and it seems neither man knew when he was appointed Chelsea manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
