good day to all you english chaps out there. if you wish to chat about how great it was when we ruled the world then here is the place to do it, smoking jackets optional, cups of tea mandatory. basically any subject befitting gentlmenly conversation. politics allowed and discourse about different pubs and clubs, anything you want to talk about relating to england basically, but remember
god save the queen! try not to flame the americans to badly though. they cant help being a headstrong younger nation. they just need to mature. like a good wine. or cheese. optionally if you come from a former colony of her majestys british isles or the boer region of africa feel free to make us feel as guilty as you want, we deserve it. (yet another misspelt topic from me) |
Oh yes, I remember one time *mumble, mumble* so we went to the bar *mumble, mumble* The most beautiful woman you ever saw! *mumble, mumble* When I woke up I was in the British Army! *mumble, mumble* BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! *mumble, mumble* I ended up on a boat back to Suez *mumble, mumble* Of course, at the time I was very, VERY drunk.

Popular story here is Ned Kelly, the worlds most famousest outlaw. I don't exactly know why he is so popular all he did was kill a cop or two then they chased him into a building and he died.

Yeah but he didnt kill all the cops, he didnt cover his legs so they shot him in the legs then he couldn't do anything. But still he doesn't seem like an idol I would want to look up to, and the movie was quite boring.

According to a recent survey, British men have the highest average sexual stamina of any country in the world (about 7 and a half minutes or something)!
@Reup, that is a point, English people are conditioned to drinking really fast becuase they have to get all their drinking done in a couple of hours, whe nwe go abroad, we drink at the same (very fast) rate for much longer and get pissed off out faces. Also, European beers tend to be much stronger than British ones (so you're supposed to drink less obviously, but we don't think that way). |
I, sadly, am not english. I am a Russian living in germany. Therefore I cannot participte in this discussion very much :)

To the Scottish Embassy! *edits* a couple of spellings* |
I LIKE this idea!
especially the no chavs bit. that gets rid of everyone annoying ^_^ |
Yeah, there was a plan involving a flamethrower, but I might burn my fingers :D
|
good show old chap.bath would make an excellent setting for a gentlemens and ladies dinner and dance, LOL. burning the chavs seems like a good idea but you have to remeber some people dress a bit like chavs sometimes in order that they can blend in and not get there heads kicked in on friday nights. we need to genetically tag them at the first sighn of narcisisitic shirt wearing fight starting chain wearing ahole binge drinking behavior, so that when we employ the flamethrowers we dont accidently get some camoflaged gentlemen.
why do american kids always take the piss from us for being british on mmporgs but canadians seem totally cool with us? |

there's a test match on - we're too busy drinking ale in the clubhouse and watching it on TV with the occasional "well done old chap" and a copy of The Times to go out and play ourselves.

Ah, so you use The Times as a sort of beermat, then? Sorry, I meant to say alemat, of course.

Meadmat, perchance? :D
I have to say that the latest test matches have been more disappointing than lukewarm Stellar brewed in the UK. I say - Buy Belgian! We can pay for it with some empire goods... like... Gibralta Monkeys! *edits* There is only really one place that compares with Milton Keynes and that is Weston-Super-Mare. *closes edit* |
watching test matches also requires frequent usage of "Well done that man!" and "not now dear, we're busy"

Depends how well you speak them. I learnt a bit of german at school, then french to GCSE because I like the language better. If you enjoy them and/or do well at them then stick with both - more use than a GCSE in, say, Business Studies like I got instead...

multiple languages is a wicked thing though, stick with it. comunication with people when you are travelling is essential and you never know when they will come in handy . a lot of bulgarians do french in school so i was a ble to use it in bulgaria!

Anyone follow George Galloway's adventures with the American senate? he did us proud! I have to find the quotes...
EDIT: Here they are: In quotes: Galloway showdown Here are some of the quotes from British MP George Galloway as he confronted his accusers on a US Senate sub-committee. "Who paid me hundreds of thousands of dollars? The answer to that is nobody and if you had anybody who paid me a penny you would have produced them here today." "I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns." "You traduced my name around the world without ever having asked me a single question, without ever having contacted me, without ever having written to me or telephoned me, without any contact with me whatsoever and you call that justice." "Senator [Norm Coleman, committee chairman], this is the mother of all smoke screens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth." "You have nothing on me Senator [Coleman], except my name on lists of names in Iraq, many of which were drawn up after the installation of your puppet government in Iraq." "I have never seen a barrel of oil, owned one, bought one, sold one, and neither has anybody on my behalf." "I know that standards have slipped over the last few years in Washington but for a lawyer you are remarkably cavalier with any idea of justice." "One of the most serious mistakes you have made in this set of documents is such a schoolboy howler it makes a fool of the efforts you have made." "Senator [Coleman], in everything I said about Iraq I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 have paid with their lives, 1,600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies." Go on my son, show those bloody savages who's boss! |
huzzah for galloway!
|
Yeah - shame about the accusing the chair of supporting the war when he was opposed. Galloway is a right arse, but he is probably the second most amusing person in British politics, after Boris Johnson.
|
I second that.
Despite being at lest 30% more landed than most gentry, I would have voted Lib Dem. The other two are just awful. Here's a summary of their election campaigns: Labour : You know what, we really hate immigrants. Tories : Not as much as we do! Labour : As if! Bunch of pillow-biters! We hate them all and we brutalise their children. Tories : So anyone up for some chat about Iraq? Labour : No. No-one is. You can just piss off. Tories : What about the NHS? Labour : What about it? At least we want to keep it! Tories : Ah. Bugger. Scuppered. Ummm... tax cuts for all! Labour : I see... so how are you going to get 30ish billion for the NHS then? Tories : Bloody hell, is that the time? Quick! Fetch the firing squad and hunt down Mike Howard! Labour : BWAHAHAHAHAHA no-one ever votes Lib Dem and they won't this year... Lib Dems : As if you could be so bloody right about something so bloody wrong... |
The Tories couldn't have made much more of the NHS in the campaign - it was their funding cuts and privatisation of cleaning staff that left it where it is now. They also cunningly managed to count some cuts already announced by Gordon Brown in their "We'll save you this much in taxes" figures.
|
Aye. That and they destroyed the trains... bastards....
Also Maggie Thatcher invented Mr. Whippy. Truly there is no greater evil. |
i voted for the libs again but i have been becoming disalusioned with em. they come out with great policies, then change em, change em again, f with them some more, and not tell anybody. they never seem to get much good press (partly i think because if they got in power the press would be paying more in taxes) and when they do promote themselfs they leave out areas of the policy that seem to have mass apeal. a policy they f'd with really annoyed me, the council tax thing. now i remeber reading about that maybe 2 years ago. they inatially proposed to cut the council tax completely. they were gonna pay for it by putting a small increase in the general pops income tax, and some of the money they would have left over by increasing the tax to the top 25 percent earners. sounds good i think + saves money as you dont need to route your councill tax money through your local tax office, send it to london, then it gets sent back to your council, a wastefull procedure.
they changed that to say that they change the council tax to a local authorities tax. bstrds. that and the fact that charles kennedey is a piss head doesnt help. not that i have a problem with pissheads. but you have to consider the general populations view on a leader. we need a young , strong, braniac at the ehad of the liberals. preferably a genius econimist 2, i think a big reosen people voted labour is becuse of the tax credit. it puts money into the pocket of the majority of the country. and the majority vote with there pockets. not there concionse. (ps loads o spelling errors for you spell checkers but im dyslexic so i care not, cant be assd to run a spellchecker on forum posts) |
The council tax thing is still pretty similar as I understand it - get rid of council tax as it stands, then you have a local income tax to replace it, so it varies between places (so it'd still be more in London than in the middle of rural Yorkshire, and quite rightly). The increase in national income tax (particularly for the top earners, taking them up to 50% tax) was to pay for improvements in services like the NHS and transport.
|
doesnt seem to make any difference. if we were headed towards a lib parliment there would have been a few more gains this election. alas that it was not so. looks like the tories an labour gonna be the only people in power. untill the apocalypse that is.
i think they are shooting themslefs in the foot with increasing tax to the hier earners cuz people are tight. the press will never promote a party that is gonna tax them more. its a shame becuse they come out with some wicked policies. i remeber hearing a liberal mp talking about how they would invest money in researching how to save the earth from a giant meteor, things like reprogramming our nukes so they could target objects in space. if we ever get invaded by green aliens curse that you didnt vote libs!! there slow moving colony arcs would be vunarable to our nukes!! |
I have to say that a 50% tax on the top 1% is a good idea, but with the influence those people have, they're wasting their time. If they said no tax for the top 1% they'd probably win.
|
its a shame that the world works like that. ahh well im going to have a stiff gin to help stiffen my upper lip.

eek. thats a tougthie though, we invaded and colonized, some people dont like it and want us out. some people like it and want us to stay, luckily its chilling out a bit these days. dam cromwell!

Here's the crux of our invasion of France plan; There are only about 6 of us and about 60 million frenchmen but as anyone on the streets of Chelsea will tell you, one Englishman is worth 10 million dirty foreigners. So we are not outnumbered, as logic would suggest.
|
I might be willing to help out, in exchange for an estate in Normandy once the fighting's done. You may not know this but a Dane is actually worth 20 million dirty foreigners (15 million clean ones). That would give you the advantage of numbers (in an abstract kind of way).

It wouldn't be rough if it had been a pub carpet; they tend to be too soaked in stale beer for that.

yeah you run a worse risk of waking up with footprints on your head :crazy:

Exactly, so lets get back on topic. The topic is... beer-soaked carpets in pubs. :blink:
|
when it sticks to your feet you know you are in a cheap place. we had a club called tiffins. the carpet stuck to your feet and if there was a pause in the (horrible) music you could actually hear the schlurp noise as your feet disconnected from it. i pity any soul who actually passed out on that thing, after so many hours you would probably need a crowbar to get yourself off of it.
|
oh lord thats disgusting LOL
I hope the beer was damn good at least, most of the pubs I go to have hardwood floors since they are easier to mop they aren't very comfy to sleep on though |
the beer was standerd. and it was the kind of place where you would get large crowds of chavs in white baseball caps starting fights and sucking on bacardi breezers. almost got in a fights a few times. the worst was with 10 of them one time because i was with a bengali bloke and my wife who is bulgarian. they followed us for about half an hour. was great fun ...
we only used to go in there for the 2 for 1 offers. o and the hip hop. |
my 21st birthday party ended up having a biker brawl between 2 motorcycle gangs, one gang decided to pick a fight with me and the other one jumped in to defend me ...mainly because they didn't like the other gang and needed the excuse to fight.
My bruises took a while to heal but it was definatly a birthday to remember |
Aye... could well have been that. Anyways, you go to private school, why would you be on the carpet mateo?
I suppose... work causing sleep deprivation. We've all been there and we all equally despise it. Oh yeah and sticky carpets is a major problem in this little place called The Gallery under York Dungeons. It really is horrendous. They should just lino the bloody flaw and save us all from dancing even more rubbishly with our sticky feet. Oh well, it gives it a bit of the flavour of northern England. |
I have been to jolly old England a couple of times (once for my birthday) I never could get you chaps' crazy accents. Me mum, she's obsessed with the royalty there (has a bloody library full of books on Henry's 1-379 and Georges 4-892 and Edwards 2-907)
I enjoyed the pubs, had meself a good old scotch once or twice. (I cannot belive you guys like sparkling water! yack! We never even heard of it over in yankeetown!) And oh, man. Fish and chips. I could have a bloody, stinking million and half of those. Anyhows its been nice talking to you dandy fellows; i must take my leave. Tally-ho! Toodle-oo! :cheers: |

As for the comfort thing: If you pass out on the floor of a pub, comfort usually isn't an issue. :) |
i wonder what is the flavour of northern england?

The flavour of northern England is piss and blood. That and almost no fresh fruit and/or vegetables.
On the other hand, their baked good and fish + chips are pretty nice and in York there are a lot of good foreign restaurants. I suppose that I preferred it 'down south' pretty much due to that the people are nicer and more intelligent, the food is better and that my southern accent hasn't really changed. So I get a lot of flak for that. But not like, out of cannons at my house. Merely verbal abuse... *sighs* |
stuff like "t bloody southern nancy boy" i guess. i hear from reliable sources that the booze is a hell of a lot cheaper up north. which must be a bonus. but if the odds of getting your head kicked in increase then you can keep your cheap booze. having said that you dont get a friday night down this end without blood on the streets.
|
I say. It's been rather quiet in here lately.
|
its been the weekend old chap. we have all been to drunk to act like gentelmen.
|
There's been nothing to stop us from acting like drunk gentlemen, though. Although I admit that it's a bit hard to keep a stiff upper lip when you're having a hard time trying to figure out how to get out the door...
|
i didnt want to subject the club to my erm "florrid" drunken typing.
|
It might have been an interesting experiment, though. "Test yourself: are you drunk enough to understand omg's posts?"
|
im kind of glad doubler told me to leave my drunken posts *as is* is rather funny to see how far my typing degenerates after 10 cans of lager + smokes
there are seagulls raiding my skylight for insects, the tapping is driving me nuts!!! |
At least that settles the question of what you're going to have for supper. Fried seagull doesn't sound too bad, does it?
|
agreed. they are big old birds as well. i always imagined seagull would taste rather fishy though. time to find out. now where did i put my gun ...
|
Ach, York's got bloody Ascot on. It's what the french call 'horrible', but then they stole our word...
It's going to be 'lock your doors and sleep with a knife under your pillow week'. I'm not even joking. I'm considering setting up an elaborate trap involving a strimmer and a cleaver. It'll be messy, but our house won't get broken into. In other news, some god-awful roofers covered my garage door in bitumen and it looks like someone's put some fascist art up at our house... oh well, that'll teach us to hire 'competent proffesionals'. Next time I'll go and bloody do it myself. |

|
Or I could just sell it to my fellow countrymen/women as 'organic protein produce'.
Bwahahaha let the baffling with science begin! |
rendering protien from human flesh. seems like a usefull way to spend the summer. its probably better than smoking.
|
Why not give it a go?
Wipe out all of the chavs in England and sell the remains to the nearest dog food factory. More profitable that smoking too, mate. |
the plan---
step1:hire out gaudy nightclub step2: hire horrible pop dj step3: promote it with wkd's and bacardi breezers 2 for 1 step4: get a mad professer to rig up a trapdoor on the toilet floors step5: protien rendering plant to be built underneath club step6: rig up the trapdoors with chav sensors step7: completion! sit back and watch the fun through secret cameras, mb sell the footage to channel 4 as reality tv. call it "big slaughter" or something. sell the protien to linda macartneys for making veggie food with just for the laff of it. use the profits to get a cricket pitch for the gentlmens club. |
I suggest asphixiating them in the smell of Lynx 24/7 just to make it more ironic. Just like that scene in Goldfinger, only with a more salad-esque smell.
Bwhahahahaha! I say - use the profits to buy back Normandy and create an "English Gentelmens' Plantation" which could also include such things as a genuine french discoteque with ridiculously *meep*y house music on 24/6, with Sunday being reserved for a fusion of Brit-pop and Techno. I call it Brichno. Smooth eh? Also, we could get the chavs in with Tim Westwood doing a set. But we need to leave him unharmed, he seems like a valuable ally. |
:D brichno!! :roflol: almost made me forget about smoking for a couple of seconds.
agreed we let westwood live. no one is unintentionally funnier. just listining to the man speak makes me and evryone i know break down into hysterics. |
HO! It's the big dog pitbull *does about 7000 bomb and/or shotgun sounds*!
Oh shizzling nizzles! It's the pizzle of hip-hizzle himself! It's Dizzle Rascizzle! TW : Can you freestyle for us? DR : How's about you do this every time, so no. TW : Damn. *drops a bomb*. Are you sure? DR : Gah... alright... TW : I AM THE SPARTICIZZLE OF HIP-HIZZLE! DR : You, sir, are a fool. TW : Oh nizzle! I'm a fizzle now, eh? DR : Yeah, bye. TW : Oh wow! Damn! We just had the dizzle! *another couple of hundred bombs drop* And now it's time for Chris Goldfinger! |
Wow, have the BBC started putting transcripts of the show up online now? I gotta check this out! The adverts for the Westwood compilation CDs are equally hilarious.
|
LOL I might actually get one for the foreword by the Westwizzle himsizzle (or summit).
My mate has one, it's hilarious. The songs are a bit tedi-izzle though. Oh wizzle. |
you ever seen his cable tv show? its amazing. the moment that stands out in my mind was he was talkin to this new york rapper on "da streets" he said to the guy
"its proper brick out here innit" the rapper looked at him like he was some escaped loonatic. in fact evry rapper he ever talks to looks at him like he is some escaped loonatic. |
Even Skinnyman who has clearly been living off benefits for the last 18 years sees him as crazy.
And it's on Channel U. I believe it's called Westwood Presents, although that could be one of his albums. And don't overblow my shizzlarity, OMG. |
i belive your shizzlarity is safe. i can put it in a box to prevent it getting to overblowen.
|
Because as everyone knows 'shizzlarity is everything'. Remember that kids.
Anyways, back to more british debates, how does everyone feel about the current wave of music hitting our bonny shores? |
how do you mean old boy? the fact that crazy frog is at number one has meant i havnt turned my radio on for a while. in fact in general im a bit behind on the "current" musical trends.
going to see system of a down soon though!! |
Cool. You off to Leeds Fest?
I recommend some import music like The Eels, although that goes against everything I stand for! Hmm for british music I suggest something like the Sex Pistols or Faithless. |
im going to see system in brixton. would love to do some fests this year but need money. agreed with faithless, its a shame they are nearly over (just released a greatest hits, kiss of death) a uk act to watch out for is the Complete and Utter Needless Terrorism Society. coming to a pub near you soon, if they dont all kill each other.
|
LOL maybe at Fibbers in York. That'd be cool.
|
if i hear they have a gig in the york area i will let you know. they just played with the anti nowhere leuge in norwhich and they getting some promotion behind them. i smell a tour coming.
|
Get a grip on yourselves, chaps. The Sex Pistols? At the Gentlemen's Club? You must be joking. What's wrong with a bit of Elgar, anyway? :tai:
|
Uh yeah... just beacuse we're gentlemen doesn't mean that we're not down with 2 generations ago's kids.
Tomorrow = Final Countdown day (by Europe, natch). Or possibly something like the Verve will do nicely. Good songs by them. Good songs. |
Why do I imagine all gentlemen at this club to look as Elton John? LOL :bleh: :tomato:

Hehey everyone knows that I don't.
|
Hmmm,
A.J., are you member of this club too? :D |
Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed honorary member of the club. :D
|
Hmmm, ladies allowed in gentelmens club?
Strange.... I always believed that English are more conservative...:blink: But you never know, for the country that had one Maggy and Queen.... :D |
Of course. Prejudice sucks, even in England. We're also a bunch of bleeding-heart Liberals for the most part.
And Maggie Thatcher is a case against women in the gentelmen's club. Anyways, cheerio for now. |
hmmm. women in the gentelmens club. the empire will surly fall if we allow this to happen ... *looks around at the (former) empire*
blast! when did that happen. ahh well *reaches for gin and tonic* |
other people realised about flags, i think.
|
May I be in this club?
|
Quote:
|
Well I could.
|
Jolly good, old chap.
|
Thankyou for letting me in then. :D
So what does this club do? |
we chat about things in england. so far amongst other things it has included transcribing a british hero timothy westwood. and plotting how to restore our country to greatness by exterminating all the undesireables. (ie: shirt wearing morons who go out to bars get drunk, drive fiestas, start fights when in packs of 5 or more, have girlfreinds called *sharon or something*) we have been illuminated about a lot of icleanders being genitically descended from irish slaves.
just the normal things we british like to talk about over a cup of tea or a mug of ale and a copy of the times. while listining to cricket on the radio. we also have a boxing ring but it is unused at the moment. and i hope all members of the gentelmens club are planning to sojurn to see this movie as soon as it is released. |
The boxing ring is unused at the moment? Mustn't have that. :boxing:
|
Hmmmm well I'm not english so I don't how much I can contribute to conversation but I'll use this boxing ring quite often. :boxing: :boxing:
|
:boxing: have at you!. good to have a little bout in the morning hey chap. gets the blood flowing. *tweaks handlebar moustache*
|
Moustache? Are you quite sure about that, old bean? Looks a bit froggish to me...
|
i say! how on earth did that slimy blighter get there? *throws frog away*
|
Where's that slug balancer got to?
|
Robin Whooooood is needed here....:D
I'll take everything from poor and help rich.... LOL :ok: I have very important question: When English will drive on the same side of the road like the rest of the world? :blink: |
Pah! We are keeping solidarity with the other 73 countries who drive on the left - 34% of the world's population, in fact. Admittedly, it's only us and Malta that do it anywhere near Europe, but that just goes to show the spiritual connections we have with bits of the Southern Hemisphere. or something.
|
Technically I guess it's about 1/3 of the worlds poopulation who drives on the left, but from what I've heard you drive pretty much where you want to in India, so I'm not sure that should count. :D
I would also like to point out that when the rest of us drives on the right side of the road, it follows that you drive on the wrong side. :D |
Yeah, Spain and Greece should count as honourary right-hand drivers due to the astonishly poor driving quality there.
|
and Paris - standing on top of l'Arc de Triomphe is a scary thing.
|
Yeah, especially if you're scared of heights like oneself.
Not that it stops the incredible magnificence of my Britishularity. Uh... yes.... |
You drive on the left in all the major countries. Like England. Or Swaziland.
|
Aye.
But that's not to say that we don't respect other countries. They're great too, it's just that ours is better. What about der Schweiz? Driving on the left or right there? |
Well, yes. After all, they can't help not being English, can they? Poor sods...
I'm pretty sure the Swiss drive on the right, which seems a bit odd. |
Nope, they drive on the right. They've realised that driving on the left poses a very real threat to me, whenever I visit their country. On that note, the last time I bummed around Europe, I went straight to Paris after 2-3 weeks in England and Scotland. I had just gotten used to look to the other side when crossing the road. Do you realise how dangerous it is looking to the right when crossing a street in Paris? :)
|
LOL
Swaziland? LOL Seems that Blair paid a visit to Bush. He needs some money to help ex-colonies... :blink: |
It's not just us that had African Colonies. It's sort of traditional for the richer nations to look after their old colonies, we help out Sierra Leona and the French help the Ivovy Coast. The Americans seem unwilling to give aid to Liberia though.
The meeting between Blair and Bush was Blair asking Bush to cancel some of the African debts and Bush saying he'll only do it if he gets to reduce aid. |

There is always a joke of stupid americans, but after Bush took most of money from education, and after he made some reforms in education system, this nation will be dumber and dumber... They will help him, but not much and not even close to what they hopped. (Bush does not care about some Aftrican countries, unless there is some Oil in them ;)) |

Sounds like a cunning way for him to get more people to vote Republican - widen the gap between rich and poor so the rich guys vote for them, but make the poor people too stupid to notice the propaganda they're being fed. Blasted neoconservatives! Anyone who doesn't care that their collective name sounds like something out of Nazi Germany worries me.

*edit* Gotta love Stewie. He's so beautifully EVIL :evil: |
I think that what we need is to finish off the Crazy Frog. Any and all cost in human life is acceptable, no matter who they are.
Other than the clever types behind it. My plan = Get Axel F and the guy who created the Crazy Frog together for a 'meeting' about a 'possible E.P'. Then we jump the bastards and knock the unconscious, preferably with something painful and so unpleasant that they collapse due to shock. Then we get at least 30 Poison Arrow frogs and release them into the room in which they are sleeping. Chainsaws would not go amiss either. To make it even more ironic, we then drive a broken moped (to make that bloody irritating noise) over their nearest and dearest. Anyone up for that? |
yes. now. why are we waiting? the world needs this horror to end. now. just think of the children held in the grip of this horrific dueo. spending there parents hard earned cash on the most annoying thing in the world. its probably responsible for more collective stress than anything else that is going on in this country. anyone with the power to release something like that onto the british market is far to dangerous to be left alive.
for the Good of the Country We need to ACT now! |
HUZZAH!!!
I suggest firstly that we write to the Daily Mail with a suggested headline: Crazy Frog? BAN THIS SICK FILTH NOW! ffs it's even gotten into Project Rockstar as an ad. Every bloody time my cursor goes over this irritatingly-placed banner it starts it's bloody song! |
To be fair, the guy who created it has said that he was starting to hate himself just before he posted it on the internet - we could probably get him to top himself without too much effort; less blood on our hands that way. Although we'd probably be carried aloft throught the streets as national heroes if we did it.

I think the classic - 'String them up in town centre for all to see' tactic would work well here.
Then we could parade them around every Primary school in the country, in a campaign we could call Shock and Awe. If we can fit it in, Secondary Schools would get it too. Just they Year 7 and 8s though. |
yey! Im year 8! woo! free stringing 'em up parades! erm, no costs, right?
|
The cost would be your life it was found as a ringtone/screensaver on your phone, but otherwise nothing.
Maybe we'd get a grant from the government too. |
I have no mobile. I am perfectly safe now.
and I wanna see my enemies hang. |
Quote:
"You know, if you support us on that, we might join this Euro-thingy. I'm not saying we will, but we might seriously consider it..." |
Oh, they will, trust me... they will...
Oh and we'll check your phone's logs, so if you have EVER had it on your mobile... well... say goodbye to your nearest and dearest now. |
string them up. then tar and feather the promotional team. gonna check an see how many spam sites there are out there for crazy frog, with rouge nastys lurking on them. see what other moneys being made of this damn frog and cheezy techno alike combination. hopefully operation shock and awe will sufficently influence the coming generation, so that nobody gets it upon themselfs to repeat this madness. treatys must be sighned to insure the common mans security, that he will not be subjected to such a horror again!
we could get a public health grant to aid us upon this campaighn against the frog. the stress the blighters are causing will probably be responsibe for more than a few heart attacks! must ... save ... the ... world ... (oo doughnut) |
I think that it will be more a pact than a treaty.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. We can only hope that it's stayed in the UK and not spread like a horrendous virus all over the world. |
Ive still never even had myself a mobile, so Im safe, I tell ye! and Im a mod so if you tried (and failed) I'd have your posts here reduced significantly and numerous topics closed.
|
Pardon?
|
And after closing, the topics would be tried, found guilty and then hanged, drawn and quartered, right?
|
Ah yes... now I see....
Anyone up for a 'Ban this sick filth' topic? |
*checks time* I sure am! just gotta pack me schoolbag.
|
ah yes...
do what I do, put EVERYTHING in it. Builds up your shoulders and ensures that you are always prepared. |

hey, whaddyaknow, 2500 posts :D |
Oh holy Scheisse that's bad... that's a real, real shame.
Topic starter for Ban This Sick filth? It won't be me, Data has a grudge. |
I'll do it, what's it about, games or Crazy Frog?
|
What the french call : Le bloody frog
|
Done.
|
hehey we're now a multi-forum club!
I've set up a clubhouse on AR. |
*checks it out*
now, I will have to close it if it becomes a spamfest.. |
Quote:
inevetably the big boys who have been massageing this trend scince the start will look around them at the fetid ringtone consultants, the animators reaching the point of suicide as they are asked to desighn yet another charector that combines "crazy" with "pro active" and they will realise there assests. then they will all have a party and laugth as the house of cards that they have built collapses, downsizes, the drones have to move on to other hives to clacker and sell. people become jobless, then homeless, and as for the investors who didnt get out of the novelty ringtone market in time hunch in cold concrete doorways thinking "why god, why" they will be driven to suicide as there one remaining piece of personall property beeps and automatically downloads the latest ring tone. and its a remix of the crazy frog. |
No spam in the Club, though, please. If this topic has to be closed, where will I go to read The Times and watch cricket???
|
Ill clean up some spam here.
|
Spiffing. Thanks.
|
define spam? spurios is the conversation method employed by gentlmen when they have had a gin and tonic and are discussing life. the frog is annoyance in a gentelmens
life. |
Wasn't it you who sported a frog on his upper lip not too long ago, old chap?:P
|
ahh yes, should have stuffed the blighter and put it on the trophy rack.
|
what? A traitor in the ranks?! We must have him escorted from the premises immdiately.
|
So what did you do to it instead? Let it genetically mutate into that thing on the sick filth thread? :blink:
|
*head in hands* how could i do that to the world, it was so hidiosly disgusting i had to throw it as far as i could. clearly i had had to much gin and it survived rebounding off of our mahogony walls. my vision was curiosly foggy and i didnt want to aproach it to see if it was dead or not.
|
Cheer up, mate. Worse things might have happened. That frog might have turned into a prince and have insisted on marrying you. :blink:
Still, I suggest that you get a pet stork, just in case something like that happens to you again. One seriously deranged mutated frog is certainly enough. |
Oh no! The chavs have made a comeback. see here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4074760.stm (yes, bbc news online is my homepage and I like it)
|
where it says on that bbc article "retrosexual" shouldent that be "metro sexual?" surly a retro sexual would have to do it on leopard print while listining to dire straits.
|
Nope, retrosexual - the opposite of a metrosexual, being a man who spends very little time on his appearance. My housemate is quite proud to belong to this category.
|
Shouldn't a metrosexual be someone who holds a lifetime ticket for the underground?:huh:
|
On those grounds, a metrosexual should really be someone who has sex on cheap trains and buses all around the UK.
I saw a program on MTV Belge about Metrosexuals. It was in English with Flemish subtitles... very odd... |
i have had fun on a bus before. wouldent repeat it though, was more fear inducing than plesureable.
|
It would be. Especially if you meant on a bus rather than on a bus. :P
|
LOL German grammar style :D

And it's you, my tombola-esque friend :D |
do you know it took me a while to get that one. i guess without nicotine my brain reacts a lot slower. but now i got it.
ahaha marvelous pun old chap! get that man a gin and a cigar! |
I don't think it'll be a good idea for anybody to light a cigar right now, actually. We may just have to switch to chewing gum for the time being. (The horror! The horror!) :D

English Gentlemen don't exist anymore.
