Please McFuck Off, David Fairhurst, Part 2

2007-05-29T04:59:00.001-07:00

Just checked back on the BBC poll about the 'Change The OED Definition Poll' that poor ol' McDonalds have initiated.It doen't seem public opinion is with them thus far.Ha-Bloody-Ha!

Please McFuck Off, David Fairhurst

2007-05-24T05:29:00.000-07:00

So, poor old McDonalds want to make the OED change their description of a 'McJob' as "an unstimulating low-paid job with few prospects", eh? Well, that's a little odd, because flipping burgers is precisely that. I've done it. For McDonalds. It was along time ago, thank god, so the pain has nearly worn off, but it was a terrible job! The regimenting of it's uniform and it's pseudo militaristic

Before the avalanche of marketing (and the after effects of the recent court case victory) hits us in earnest, there was a nice piece on The Daily Show about La Brown's magnificent octopus.Rob Corddry, in his 'The Week In God' spot talks about the Da Vinci Code:For those who haven't read it, the book is about a professor who discovers that the Catholic Church has covered up Jesus' marriage to

Not another 8 weeks or so is going to make the slightest bit of difference to the final quality of the product - that of a cheap Mac OS X ripoff - but interesting that the jolly chaps in Redmond don't seem to give a shite about the PC

Poor Old Charles Clarke. A definate knickers-in-twist scenario seems to be in the offing.

Pretty rich, huh?He probably wants Jack to get some

Good old Tim Ireland, he's up to no good again, or if you agree with his point of view (like I do), causing some good ol' fashioned trouble for the hard of thinking amongst us... [Sun & Daily Mail readers, for those of you who are still confused with what the hell I'm banging on about.]

Slow off the mark, I'll grant you, but...

The current cost of the 'endeavour' in Iraq to the U.S. is $5 billion/month.Total Cost to date: $320 BillionSo, in my math, that means the flood defense programs being asked for in New Orleans would have taken mere days worth of budget for Iraq.Governor Blanco this year had asked for $105 million dollars for levee improvements, but the oh-so-generous Dubya thought it best to cut that figure to

The murdering shits of the IRA seek to get away with hiding behind the 'might' of Gerry Adams (murderer) and stop themselves be extradited to Colombia to serve their rightful terms in jail. So much for the 'peace process'.Well, Gerry is such a good (arse) soul, isn't he?

Cuddly little Benjamin Cohen seems to have had the shit dumped on him regarding his vain attempt to implicate everyone in the loss of the itunes.co.uk domain name.The cheeky chappy [whom BBCi loves to call an 'internet entrepreneur'] has been told to go shove it.Perhaps he queered his own pitch when it was disclosed he had tried to sell the domain to Napster. Doh!The judge described Conehead's

Hey, that's real tasteful!Right up there with the 'Hindenburgh' Souvenir Box of Matches...Keith Fieler (Feeler?) has developed* a really crap game called 'Mind The Bombs' that he is tarting around the net with.[* I suspect not, actually]I was going to link to his site, but you've got Google, haven't you?Allegedly, this is all in 'support' of the terrorist bombing victims in London in July. But,

Irritable Duncan-Smith (for it is he) has been ruffling the feathers of the wannabe Grandees in Westminster and beyond, it seems. Just to start the blood letting early, rather than actually wait until the elections start, he's laid the axe to two fellow Tories and has said that he will not only quit as an Tory MP, but run as an independent candidate if the two greasy ne'er do wells who were

Oh dear, those jolly chaps at the Grauniad has gotten themselves into a bit of a pickle.As Steve Busfield points out, Dilpazier Aslam has been shuffled out of the door due to his unsavoury connections.Now why could the Daily Mirror have done that with Piers Morgan ages ago?

Hey George, can you hear us?

Probably not. But then I'd have been surprised if anyone would choose to listen - it would be too disturbing.Geneva Convention, pah!

Bless him, Mohammed Bouyeri got sent down for quite a long time by a court in the Netherlands. In cunning legal fashion, he 'told the court he had acted out of religious conviction'.The Beeb report goes on to say: '..clutching a copy of the Koran, he said that "the law compels me to chop off the head of anyone who insults Allah and the prophet".'Odd thing is, I can't find any reference to that in

A very nice and efficient person at the London Development Agency just supplied me with the following information: ***Thank you for enquiring into the London Development Agency and the Olympic Games.The Government and the London Development Agency have both provided £10m to London2012 to support the bid. London 2012 have also raised around £9m of private fundingfrom business, bringing the total

Chicken Yoghurt does it again!Oh, and a belated 'Well Done' to Hilary Clinton for all her efforts helping New York secure their bid for the 2012 Olympics... sorry, what? They didn't get it?... you're joking....?[What do I know? I honestly thought Paris was going to win]

Which is why we should all bow down to the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster.I think the oddest thing about Creationists is that they always speak in terms of destruction and death. Just seems a little odd.

Oh, and sorry...

Lots of bad language over the last few posts. Shouldn't post when I'm 'tired and emotional'.Fuck it.

Just to continue the anti-American theme

So New York (a city, I might add, I'm extremely fond of) needs to have the Olympics because of what the date challengened Yanks call '9-11 sympathy vote'?Don't think the IOC agree, no matter what bloody Hilary Clinton spins herself into a daze saying to support their clueless bid.We'll see at lunchtime on Wednesday.When Paris wins.[snigger]
