Hmmm. Hard to know where to start with the irony of The Guardian publishing a piece

Prostitutes seem to have pricked your interest b

But surely their job is to interest my prick?

They will have been paid by the time it gets to that stage... and if it doesn't interest your prick then I guess you shouldn't have gone there in the first place... you dirty man b

It could easily have been a mistake. Chap gets wildly pissed, forgets he walked to the pub rather than took his bike, clambers onto someone else's bike in error, wakes up and everyone's calling him a bike thief.

All too easily done, sw.

Is that why the Welsh are called sheep shaggers? It was just a mistake after a boozy night out

To be fair, there’s probably tiny corpses buried in most gardens in rural Ireland.

Mostly from the potato famine, I expect.

I watched the 'Victoria' on that last night. Now, as much as you will doubtless blame the 'feckless' irish people for it, it really was very sad.

They also starved to death in a country awash with food which tells you all you need to know about British rule.

Interestingly, the corn that Peel imported was so alien to the tenant farmer Irish that they didnt know how to cook it and their stomachs couldn't cope with it. Weakened by hunger and desease, it actually killed quite a few of them.
