Anyone else up watching things unfold?

Phil Launchbury bored us all completely to death with wittery prose
along the lines of:

I'd go for this, in the fact that there have been so many changes in
the world, that this sort of Imperialism can't and won't work.

V true.

Very nice post that.

BTW, err, Phil, that footnote thief is pretty active in your last
couple of posts, y'know.

 

(The Older Gentleman) struggled
to ejaculate:

Cool.

 

How about if we all go out and buy new bikes and thus save the bike market
from going into a decline. That'll *really* piss him off.

 

(The Older Gentleman) struggled
to ejaculate:

<gruff, flat voice>

I don't make threats.

 

Tell us about it. We've bought most of Bavaria with our taxes over the last
500 years. It's a little known fact that Queen Elizabeth Windsors real name
is Co-Saxebourg Golgotha.

 

The OG muttered

war.


I was getting at "unrest" rather than a guerilla war TBH, though there
was certainly a guerilla element to parts of what went on in Egypt in
the mid to late 40s.

 

Super Des, able to avoid reality in a single bound!

 

Coughs
Looks embarrassed.
Looks at feet
Shuffles feet.

 

Yar. I blame a) the copious amount of codeine I took this morning to
kill a migraine and b) the copious amount of nice Rioja that I drank
last night which seems to have led to (a) above..

Still - it'll be the weekend soon.

I only do mass market plonk and find the carte noire perfectly adequate.

 

The pope.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember
(The Older Gentleman) saying
something like:

They were you know, if tulip numbers were anything to go by.

I can feel another limerick coming on....

 

....almost as fast as he changes his position.

Let's just summarise, shall we?

I (and almost everyone else) declare that Britain, 100 years ago, was a
superpower.

Dessie-poos says no, and says that the word only applies to big
powerful countries *with nuclear weapons*.

Other people point out that the term has been in use for rather longer
than nookleeyar barms.

Dessis-poos says no, and cites, as his reference, a book that was
published before nuclear weapons were invented.
Does anyone disagree with that little summary?

Yes, you missed out the important facts that Des has taken every opportunity
to call everybody who disagrees with him "ignorant" and has posted a couple
of extra times to assert that he is right, but without supplying any
additional evidence.

I appreciate that these facts aren't material to the case, but they make me
laugh anyway.

And now you've made me laugh. Good stuff.

 

Not bad but ideally he should have then gone on to prove his theory by
expirment in a crowded lecture room.

 

I'm almost on the verge of unkillfiling him now. Bastards the lot of
you.
