I just wish the scotch would learn to accept that there's no such name as 'Tam'.Quote:

I blame Dave. I told you he was a communist. He's turned the Tory party into authoritarian leftists :-(Quote:

It's fúcking disgraceful. Not only is it authoritarian, it gives yet more encouragement to the misplaced sense of victimhood and lack of personal responsibility of these fat fùcks, thus encouraging them to feed their faces while blaming someone else.Quote:

That is a joyless experience and is why the double-yolked egg is the way forward.Quote:

Message reported to Curly. He believes the correct number of eggs is 0 iirc.Quote:
