Saddam hanged
I’m gutted. Really, what did he ever do to anyone? This senseless persecution of the bearded must stop.
Crazy meteorites
No time this morning but this really made me laugh (via Damien)
Silly taxi driver
Coming out of town today. “So, did you get any good bargains?”, he says. “What?”, I say. “Bargains. At the sales, like.” “Erm, do you see me carrying any bags?” “No.” “Well, unless I bought up the whole of the … Continue reading
Do not eat!
How many of you got presents with a little packet of silica gel in them? You know the ones with ‘do not eat’ written across it. I have always been curious about it and its effects so this Christmas, after … Continue reading
Seasons greetings
I’m taking a few days off, tomorrow sees the annual feast followed by the traditional knacker shoot. Anyway, I’d like to wish you and yours, well most of you and some of yours, a very happy Christmas. You cunts.
