In answer to the question why DAMP SQUID.

It is one of those phrases that people always seem to get wrong, like the use of PACIFIC where they mean SPECIFIC.

A Squib, with a B, is a small firework, so if something has failed to live up to expectation it is said to have gone off like a damp squib. Basically a fizzer in the US.

Most people seem to not know what a squib is so thoughtlessly use squiD instead making nonsense of the phrase.

I'd love to agree with you Angstrom but ....damn it if ted is not actually on the money about the uk knob joke humour.

this gives me no pleasure to admit...... damn your eyes, damn your biscuits ted.

the genius that is Charlie Brooker.

Nathan Barley, Screen wipe and his recent Dead Set, a zombie flick set in the Big Brother house.

righteous stuff.

The annoying kid from Skippy used to live a few doors down from a friend of mine in Melbourne.

He looks the same but inflated and with a beard.

£0.95 per litre, down from the high of £1.19 per litre.

Shows how much of the cost of a litre is tax when the barrel price doubles plus but the price rises by less than 20%.

Firsatly the whole armed america thing is just a monster fuck up.

But that aside is there no form of regulation?

Fully Auto is illegal surely?

And as for allowing an 8 year old access to military grade automatic weapons, you can't get a beer 'til 21 but can spray away with an uzi at eight?

How anyone can accept this situation as normal only denotes how warped the norm is in the US.

The other fictional saboteur was Captain Swing leader of the swing gangs.

Clarkson was and will for ever remain an unmitigated ARSE.

He is so blinkered to the car that he doesn't see that motorcycles don't kill people cars kill people, be they motor cyclist cyclist pedestrian skate boarder whatever.

Areally awful Anthem is the enitely modern unwelcome construct of the Austalian anthem "Advance Australia Fair".

Not until 1984 was it made the anthem and even then in the teeth of the peoples preference for Waltzing Mathilda, a far more representative and socially complex song.

The US is more than ten years in arrears in it's payments.

Still likes to start wars via the UN though.

When will someone post a "The UN and the Jews are going to invade Missouri" style lunacy.

monotreme,. meaning one hole IIRC, they have a cloaca for urination defecation and birth.

Just as well they are in an egg when born.

yik.

re the extra verses that are not sung so much, in God Save the King/Queen the UK version not the Norwegian translation there is a verse about crushing the rebellious Scots.

Are there anyother anthems that advocate the martial supression of their own people?

This is only one of the myriad reasons that Scots have long felt that they are3 in no way part of the UK.

You will also find that any move towards independence will pivot on whether more oil is discovered there.

Ha! McCain will be the undoing of this diabolical program.

As he has expressed myriad conflicting opinions on nearly every topic Google will burst into flames trying to reconcile his double think.

I thought it was very cute indeed.

But he'll be dead by the time he's 30 if he maintains that sort of weight.

Which is significantly less cute.

Argh!!
