I think the England flag has more of an association with racism and ne’er-do-wells than the Union flag.

When Scotland leaves the UK will the blue in the union flag be replaced by green for Wales?
I think it will.
I'm not sure how the dragon will be incorporated.

When I was a student, the library had some books that had been gifted to the university by the Nazi regime before 1939. These were on the open shelves. The bookplates had the full regalia including the eagle and the swastika and I think some of them were even signed by Ribbentrop. Difficult not to sit and stare at this stuff, and end up feeling a bit voyeuristic.

The book I'm reading at the moment has some swastikas on the front. It also has so far had one casual use of the N word.

Its as bad as Shenguin hanging round 1930s militaria shops, then claiming to be surprised all the books he buys feature Nazi iconography.

My favourite book with a swastika on the front was Golfing For Cats by Alan Coren.  His reasoning was that the three most popular subjects for books were golf, cats and the Third Reich, and that by combining all three he was assured of a place in the bestseller lists... |

Amipal turning up with his own condements at bbq's. Some sort of converted toolbelt with heinz tomato sauce and a salad cream in case they have aoili or mayo. How do you know about my sauce belt? The more I think about this as some sort of Batman utility belt, but for sauces AND condiments, the more it makes sense. It could be the future. |

Monty Don on bbc 2. Top stuff. Mrs T thinks Monty Don is 'sexy'. I do question my life decisions sometimes.
Is he sexy Dakyl? Is he...

I'd say Monty is attractive enough, but he's no Percy Thrower.

He has a very calming voice.
When I was 17 I never thought when I was grown up I’d be spending my Friday nights watching gardeners world on a 50 inch TV.
24 inches at best.

The books that were acquired for the institute library at my German university between 1941-45 have on their pages a library stamp with the image of the Reichs eagle perching on a swastika ("ugh, there's a swastika in my book").
In 1946 they couldn't afford a new stamp, so they used the same stamp with the eagle and the swastika gouged out.
My favourite Indian vegetarian takeaway always has plenty of swastika decorations for Diwali. One year they were also selling bracelets with little swastika charms. I still wish I'd bought one.

Oh dear. He's Swabian, but let's not hold that against him. His problem is that he's got the man flu. He talks about the sweats and says that he bets his a**e that some of them are cheaters, particularly the Chinese. Then he tries to remember the name of the player who cheated in Counter-Strike during a tournament and got found out. Then you kill him and he says that he wasn't paying attention because he's not at the top of his game and ends the stream to have a lie down. So you shot a sick man in cold blood. I hope you are proud of yourself. |

Bedlam in the Tuffers house earlier as Tuffers The Young and her online school pals got a treasure map that lead to something called Sea Crystals,plus some other 'ultra rare' shit. Much shrieking ensued.
The Beatles wouldn't stand a chance with the school girls these days.
OTTM, I'm watching match of the day 80s specials on that there YouTube, marvellous. When footy was footy. Kettering v Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup circa 1988. Des Lynam is still the smoothest bastard of all time.

Thanks for the thought, but a laptop's no good to me. It just won't have the capability of my current machine. Won’t be able to handle ancient, browser based games? Handle THIS |
