Bugrit! I agree.

Much as it would please me to meet this guy somewhere quiet and have a word in his shell-like, I am forced to agree with the blasted European court in this instance. If there is evidence that this odious individual has committed a crime – and there seems to be plenty, even if it is under the egregious ‘hate-crime’ laws which I also despise – then he should be charged, banged up and then deported.

I believe it is entirely wrong that our political ‘leaders,’ should advocate setting aside the hard-won rights of HM subjects, rather than getting the bar-steward into court and serving him up his just deserts. And, yes, I would agree that this Rshole is as much of a British subject as Deng Xiao Ping, but, for better for worse, he is, blast it, entitled to the protection of the law of this Land as much as I am, one law for all, bugrit again!

There, the other side of the Bravo coin to set against my views in the Assange and Dewani affairs.

A Reply to zenrule’s Second Latest Post (‘Blood Matters’)

Quite frankly, I am beginning to wonder why I make the effort to continue to post on this forum. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that the very most that I and other Jocks can expect hereon is cheap abuse and insults. This is particularly distressing to me when I am doing my best to preserve a Union in which I still believe with both heart and soul.

It goes without saying that I would not dream of retaliating by stooping to the same depths and telling anti-Sassenach jokes.

Don’t mind repeating good ones by other people, of course.

Still the best ever such joke on MyT, in my opinion, was by beanbean:- Continue reading “A Reply to zenrule’s Second Latest Post (‘Blood Matters’)”

Political Correctness – defined

There’s an annual contest at the University of Arkansas calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year’s term was: “Political Correctness.”  The winning student wrote:

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

On to England, then.

My mum and I have decided to take a flight home to Germany later on this year. In order to break the monotony of family-related visits we’ve decided to take a 5-day, 4-night holiday to England. Be warned. Be wary. In fact, be frightened.Does anyone have any ideas what we could do for that amount of time? I have lots of ideas, but only a couple are not completely impractical.

 

This one makes its own custard

I’m not a big maker of puds, though the chaps would eat one everyday… but somehow with yesterday’s weather I thought maybe a pudding would be appropriate.

The main course being duck, I thought an orangey pudding would fit the bill (sorry, I couldn’t resist) and I altered a recipe to take into account the ingredients we had. And here it is:
