  1. Obviously disturbed. But not as disturbed as the baying 'hang 'em high' mob.
  2. I sure hope that guy pays the tuktuk driver's fine and costs.
  3. I look forward to the day when lighting up a fag or 'vaping' are as socially rejected as jacking up on heroin.
  4. 1: There is no way that Germany will ever 'go nuclear'. There's not even a nuclear power station running any more. 2: Playing down or avoiding talk of defense spending is the same type of thing Starmer did with taxation. Pols who don't stand on a real platform have no mandate once they're elected and that is half the problem these days. 3: Merz will not be allowed to wreck and destroy public services and health care the way UK politicians were allowed to destroy the very social fabric of their own country.
  5. Any idea what the 'Norsemen' did to half the country when they arrived? You're right in that Westminster is the nexus of UK chaos. But that's systemic. It has nothing to do with the actual parties or policies. The system itself is so rotten and outdated that the downhill developments have been underway since about 1956 at the latest. What we see today is nothing to do with Starmer or even Truss. They are symptoms not the problem. Until the place reforms and comes into the 21st century (including the 19th century mindset of most of the population who've been electing the current batch of wazzocks for decades) the decline will continue 'apace', as they say in ministerspeak.
  6. Parental guidance humbug. Noone in my household smoked and my parents, my mother most, did their best to make sure we knew how bad it was and what it did. I started smoking at 11. The tobacco (and now vape) companies aim for kids. Normal adults wouldn't consider such a stupid thing. Hardly anyone starts after 18. Fortunately I was able to let go of the fags at 41, but not before I'd contracted some fortunately minimal emphysema. I still get congested in winter but happily don't have COPD. I'm also healthy and fit but the damage is done even if minimal. So far it hasn't cramped my lifestyle. But I do find it strange that these things are happening with vapes. I used to smoke the hard stuff. Self-rolled, Camel untipped, Gaulloise, Players Navy Cut, that kind of thing, for 20 odd years, and I seem to have been pretty lucky. Vapey steam strikes me as pretty mild by comparison. I'd never have vaped anyway. Raspberry clouds and no punch to the throat, the lighting up, the sharing and offering of ciggies. Sucking on colored machines. Weird. But all in all a foul, stinking and deadly addiction. I won't date smokers because the stench that their ravaged lungs emit is beyond nauseating. Can't understand how my girlfriends could put up with the way I must have stunk.
  7. He's a rank coward as well as ignorant. Bullies his friends and small countries as well as small businesses, and grovels to the enemies. Employs untalented sycophants whose sole qualification is their taste for his ring piece. The poltroon finds it easier to bully Zelensky than face off against Putin. Vomitous. Undignified. Spineless.
  8. The UK's problems are systemic. Unless the country reforms thoroughly from top to bottom the decline will continue regardless of who is in office. For years the standard of 'leadership' has become increasingly dire and embarrassing. It's time to leave the 19th century and come into the 21st.
  9. The very best drug is a clear head.
  10. ... and more likely who you take home with you from where ...
  11. 555 Check out the before/after pictures of porn stars without/with makeup. You'll shudder with most.
  12. Well waddaya know eh? Sound familiar? Seen it somewhere else as well?
  13. That's precisely the sort of content that boosts sales.
