and if young nigel says hes happy...

 at least in the top 43 all time most engerlish events in history...




(from the independent)

A ‘niggle’ of Nigels – the collective noun agreed by the revellers

A ‘niggle’ of Nigels – the collective noun agreed by the revellers ( SWNS )

World’s biggest gathering of Nigels attracts 433 Nigels to ‘celebrate Nigelness’

‘It was peak Nigel’

    Four hundred and thirty-three people named Nigel converged on a Worcestershire pub on Sunday to “celebrate Nigelness”.
    Nigel Smith, 56, the landlord of the Fleece Inn in Bretforton, organised the gathering in a bid to stop the name dying out after he discovered that there had been no babies named Nigel in 2016.
    The event is believed to have set a new world record for the largest gathering of Nigels in one place, with attendees presenting photo identification and signing the ‘Book of Nigel’ for Guinness verification purposes.
    All Nigels were given a free pint and a Nigel badge, while other guests were given a non-Nigel badge.
    “A man who changed his name from Nigel to Niall came and we convinced him to pull himself together,” said Mr Smith.


    Attendees signing the ‘Book of Nigel’ (SWNS)
    Awards were given for the furthest travelled, the youngest and oldest Nigels, with the youngest coming in at just seven months old, suggesting a future for the denigrated name.
    The group even agreed a collective noun for Nigels: a niggle of Nigels.
    Mr Smith said: “In the year I was born, 1963, there were over 5,000 Nigels born.
    “It was peak Nigel.
    “It was so ubiquitous and it became much maligned. At school I used to have the mickey taken out of me,” he said.
    Mr Smith suggested that the Nigel Farage effect – “the Nigel who shall not be named” – may have contributed to the demise in popularity of the name.
    Nigels travelled from Scotland, Newcastle and Cornwall for for Nigel-related revelry, with some coming as far as the US.
    “Texan Nigel”, who lives in Denver, Colorado, had his trip to the soiree crowdfunded by friends and family, making him “not only our Texan Nigel, but also our crowdfunded Nigel”.

    The event raised funds for the British Heart Foundation “because us Nigels are getting to a certain age”.
    Mr Smith believes the event has served to improve the name’s reputation.
    “I think we’ve brought it back,’ he said.
    ‘We will resurge – there’ll be a lot more Nigels next year than this year, I’d definitely put money on that.
    “And we’ve just taken away a little bit of that stigma and reaffirmed what a fantastic name Nigel is – once you’ve grown into it. It takes a little while,” he added.

    classiness, straya style - cheer animal cruelty and punch your own vomit



    (by shit towns of australia)
    The Melbourne suburb of Flemington is largely composed of ‘character buildings’, otherwise known as ‘butt-ugly state housing slum towers’. Despite being home to a diverse array of deadshits and deros, the suburb is known by most Australians for one thing only: the annual Melbourne Cup.
    Australasia’s pre-eminent public horse-abuse holiday, the Melbourne Cup is the only iconic sporting event where you can eat the losers. Internationally renown as ‘the race that stops a nation’ the Melbourne Cup has been won by a slew of famous nags such as Phar Lap, Makybe Diva and Pauline Hanson. Despite its pretension towards sophistication horse racing is basically bullfights for the bourgeois, an excuse to let suburbanites dress a bit fancy and watch a midget flog half a tonne of future dog roll while losing a week’s wages on a poorly constructed trifecta. Most of the horses are owned by truly objectionable people like minor royals, oil sheiks and property developers.
    The Melbourne Cup is celebrated with a massive orgy of public spewing and fighting, something it shares with other national holidays such as Australia Day and Kylie Minogue’s birthday. Post-race news coverage is dominated by footage of half-cut slags collapsing into hedges and fishing piss-soaked fascinators out of the gutter. A common sight at Flemington is tradies who turn up buzzing after an intensive spell of preloading, only to be disappointed when they find out that a handicap race doesn’t feature Down syndrome people doing hurdles.
    Phlemington might be best known for a racecourse but the only race worth winning is being the first person on the last tram out of town.

    being twenty years old

    definitely in my top 10 of all time
    it just had all the buttons lined up in row
    then smashed the living fuckery out them with a traction engine arsed hammer
    all the characters were just shits
    and their innate shittery just brought them undone
    again and again
    john cusack was such a weaselly little turd
    cameron diaz was not at all rica
    the hot chick at work was outrageously sexy and amoral
    and jm allowed himself to look like a right prat
    and to just be a vassal!
    (how lacking in ego must he be to allow that shit)

    its smart
    fantastical
    funny
    sexy
    bizarre
    profound
    and
    wrong

    but most of all

    its the marveilleuse absurdity

    count like an egyptian...

    so the ancient egyptians didnt just build pyramidial based theme parks in the desert
    they didnt just pull your brain out through for nose with a crochet hook
    they didnt just hang out with cats and go, 'ooh micio micino micetto'
    they didnt just marry their baby brothers and bring forth a dynasty of blokes with suspiciously child bearing hips
    they didnt just hang out with animal headed GODS
    they also did the counting thing in a predictably pictographic stylish as fuck manner...



    the highlights:
    1000 = an electric guitar impaling pacman
    10000 = ET's finger (who built the pyramids etc?!)
    100000 = toad of toad hall

    and winner is....

     
    ONE miiiillion = a bloke gesticulating 'thats a fucking fuck ton, that is'

    limebeaver.arse breaking science report!

    Francesco Redi was an Italian physician, naturalist, biologist, poet and rent boy. He is referred to as the "founder of experimental biology", as the "father of modern parasitology" and "wig wearing mentalist". He was the first person to challenge the theory of spontaneous generation by demonstrating that maggots come from eggs of flies and that half a line of go faster powder makes you most clevererer.


    before he showed up with his classic 'do, people believed that maggots came about by spontaneous generation. ie. they just showed up after a few beers when the corpse was rotten enuff.

    martin scorsese is really quite a jovial fellow; AND its not just that his trousers are rucked up








    Martin Scorsese says Marvel movies are 'not cinema'


    The director says he has tried and failed to watch the new brand of superhero films, which he likens to theme parks




    Martin Scorsese.

    Martin Scorsese,
    one of cinema’s most venerated current directors, has decried superhero
    movies – the dominant force in today’s industry. The director of films
    such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas told Empire magazine
    that his attempts to get up to speed with contemporary superhero films
    had failed.


    “I tried, you know?” the director said when asked if he had seen Marvel’s movies. “But that’s not cinema.”


    He continued: “Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well
    made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the
    circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings
    trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human
    being.”


    Earlier this year, Avengers: Endgame became the highest grossing film in history after topping $2.8bn at the global box office
    (fifth highest after adjusting for inflation). Eight other titles from
    the same studio feature in the Top 30 (when factored without inflation).

    the BIG question; so famous but so ronery


    did kim jong il see team america?
    all media stuff points out that he was a huuuuge hollywood fan
    he had his own cinema and couldnt get enough of their garbage
    so there must have been a good chance he saw it
    especially as he was a vainglorious bunghole

    surely his little mass murdering tyrant brainhole would have exploded
    they treated him with such utter and deserved contempt

    or even better
    imagine if he had heard about it and demanded his lackeys get it for him
    then some poor translator citoyen would have had to decide
    how to translate it!

    should he do a faithful translation
    and have his whole family blasted to mars on a nuclear warhead?
    or
    should he have nicied it up
    and been caught out and then had his whole family blasted to mars on a nuclear warhead?

    oshhh!

    scheming mother cluckers


    Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a florentine diplomat, politician, historian, philosopher, writer, playwright, poet and dub fusion dj of the Renaissance period. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy, political science and a human-badger hybrid called Trevor.





    Chickens exhibit Machiavellian tendencies, new research shows






    Chickens are just as intelligent as many of their feathered friends, demonstrate thinking skills on par with mammals and primates, and even exhibit Machiavellian tendencies, a US scientist has discovered.
    A new study, published in the journal Animal Cognition, has reviewed previous research to find that, despite popular belief, chickens are intelligent and emotional animals with individual personalities.





    That innocent chicken may be smarter than you think.
    That innocent chicken (Boris of Dorset) may be smarter than you think.
    "Chickens are behaviourally sophisticated, discriminating among individuals, exhibiting Machiavellian-like social interactions, and learning socially in complex ways that are similar to humans," the report revealed.
    They were found to be masters of manipulation and counter-strategies, with males making false food calls to attract nearby females, and females eventually ignoring those who made false alerts too often.



    Author Loro Marino, a senior scientist at The Someone Project, a venture focused on changing public perceptions of farm animals, said that chickens exhibit logical reasoning that humans do not develop until the age of seven.
    "Unlike many other birds, chickens are categorised as a commodity, devoid of authenticity as a real animal. But chickens have the capacity to reason and make logical inferences. They perceive time intervals and may be able to anticipate future events," he said.
    The farmyard bird was found to exhibit social awareness; capable of waiting for a better food reward, and recognising their status in the pecking order.
    They also have distinct personalities, with mother hens exhibiting different "maternal styles", thought to influence the behaviour of their chicks, and have a complex system of communication, consisting of a wide range of visual displays and at least 24 different vocalisations.





    Some chickens were even observed to display Machiavellian tendencies.
    Some chickens (such as Vladimir, woollongabba) were even observed to display Machiavellian tendencies.
    Dr Marino said that the scientific literature on chickens has historically been skewed by dominant perceptions of the bird as "cognitively simple", almost exclusively focusing on their potential as a food source.
    "Chickens are misperceived as lacking most of the psychological characteristics we recognise in other intelligent animals and are typically thought of as possessing a low level of intelligence compared with other animals," he said.
    Many scientists think that corvids - the family of birds that includes crows, ravens, rooks and jays - may be among the most intelligent animals on earth, based on their ability to solve problems, make tools and apparently consider both possible future events and other individuals' states of mind.
    Meanwhile, songbirds can be trained to understand non-language aspects of human speech, a study has found.
    And who can forget goats? The quickly learn how to solve complex tasks and have excellent long-term memories, scientists say.

    mugabe is dead

     the zim currency was epically todgered by mugabes policies, with daily inflation reaching a lazy 195%







     anti mugabe protesters when they rarely werent being beaten or killed



    and in good news
    robert mugabe is dead
    may he rot in non existent hell
    piece of shit

    he was a leader of zanu pf
    one of the major parties fighting to end racist white rule in zimbabwe
    in a brutal struggle
    they overthrow the old rhodesian scumbag government
    and brought democracy to zimbabwe
    he was a hero to many for his fight against racist filth colonialists

    but when he got into power
    he did whatever it took to keep it
    and ending up fucking his country harder than the white fuckers

    as southern rhodesia
    it had been one of the richest countries in africa
    with its wonderful climate for agriculture
    it had been known as the bread basket of southern africa

    unfortunately that had come about because the colonialist pricks
    stole all the land
    and farmed it in a modern productive manner

    following independence
    mugabe and cronies
    took measures to redress the unfair land distribution
    by using murderous means
    and then giving the land to his mates
    his 'veterans'
    only some of which were veterans
    and all of which belonged to his political party
    thus replacing white shits with ... black shits

    that caused a collapse in food production
    and the economy in general
    causing extreme poverty and malnutrition

    as the situation got worse
    and people turned against him
    he persecuted the ndebele speaking minority
    and he used many of the same methods as the colonial turds that preceded him
    violence, intimidation, election rigging and general cuntery

    he was an utter piece of shit
    causing untold suffering to millions of people
    which still plays out today
    including in the townships of south africa
    where they are treated terribly by the locals

    fuckugabe!

    that was the price that yuma yuma yumust pay











    (the thompson twins, 80s synth groovers, hairspray addicts and perhaps surprisingly, yuma fans)


    yuma  is a town in south western arizona
    it was the ultimate resting place of alphonse
    our trusty and very gringo steed
    alphonse died in the evening on the highway from arizona to san diego
    not a massively long time after i took a turn behind the wheel
    fuck you alphonse!
    (and he'd already shat himself at the border crossing at nogales
    that was a classy look, the twat!)

    we had to hitch in the dark
    in the fucking desert
    trying not to think about all the gun nutters in gringo movies
    but we got a lift from a lovely bloke
    all the way to yuma yuma yumust pay

    after our night at hotel 498739 chain
    alphonse was fetched and towed back to yuma
    to a garage where lots of
    tsk, tsking and air was sucked between teeth
    and alphonse was pronounced dead fred

    the towing cost a bomba
    and the leftovers were barely enough to hire a ren'al car
    to get us back to mission bleach
    and that
    was the price that yuma yuma yumust pay...

    e vero se si mette un cino a qualsiasi bestia
    si funziona..
    e bene
    ma

    infatti
    conosco un argenchino
    e lui e super cool
    lui sarebbe un cino cino
    non si puo essere piu cino di quello
    immaginatevi!

    cmq
    anche se non lo sapranno mai

    che mi avete regalato
    siete stati la parte piu bella della mia vita
    da tanti anni

    never trust a hippy



    its true that the 70s music scene
    was full of smugly self righteous stupidly side burned hippies with their fucking hammers of love
    and indulgent proggers setting the controls for the heart of their oh so clever clog buttholes
    which all gave way to john travoltingly lapelled disco sick
    and punk rock saved our saouls etc etc
    which is a good enough reason to steer clear of it
    for a healthy couple of siecles

    but yet!
    under all that distasteful schlock
    that look at me, look at me, i got an b in applied mathemathics
    and nauseous preachy twattery

    there was a triumvirate of magnificence
    legends of cool
    icons of not giving a fook
    and part time doughnutters

    BOWIE!
    IGGY!
    and
    LOU FUCKING REED!

    the phrase 'legend cars' doesnt get used much these days
    hopefully not at all
    but these particular vehicules
    were light years beyond legendary...

    burning down stephen cummings

    sc shortly before a swingeing singeing 


    a long time ago
    on an island not so far far away
    i burned down stephen cummings

    it wasnt entirely intentional
    but neither was it completely accidental

    he was there
    in that car park
    with all the nobbies
    and we were there too

    i certainly didnt rock up to the carpark with a flamethrower
    though it might have been prescient

    but as we got down
    and viddied our surroundings
    i thought i recognized him

    was it because he was a bit of a smug git?
    was it because i knew he would diss my hero in years ahead?
    was it because i had just been listening to porno for pyros?

    its a mystery for the ages

    but i was taken away by a non nihon divine wind
    and
    before i knew it
    the lighter fluid had been liberally applied
    and i was dancing around his flamin body
    calling to the gods xyslsyslphone
    and tlocacpslockoff
    calling on them to accept my sacrifice
    in their honour
    and to provide rains for our crops
    fertility for our women
    and another nasty slab of amber funtimes...

    c'era una volta un paese

    dove ci abitavano gli orsi con salame
    dove c'era la neve abbondante
    dove si davano lavori importanti a stronzi brutti e puzzolenti
    e uno spazio che si chiamava porko nero

    non era lontanissimo da firenze
    dove si potevo andare a un teatro e parlare cazzate televisate
    e c'era anche una biancaneve fighissima

    ma ora non esiste piu
    come il tilacino
    era troppo ganzo per questo mondo moderno
    e questo paese di meraviglie
    come si chiamava?

    Trump Cancels Denmark Visit In Spat Over Sale Of Greenland





    Topline: U.S. President Donald Trump has scrapped a state visit to Denmark after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen shot down his idea that Copenhagen could sell Greenland to the United States.
    • Trump tweeted on Tuesday: “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time........The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!”
    • The U.S. President had been due to visit Denmark between September 2 and 3 at the invitation of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II and was expected to meet Prime Minister Frederiksen.
    • Trump’s move was met with shock and confusion in Copenhagen. Former Danish foreign minister Martin Lidegaard said the incident was a “diplomatic farce.” Former prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt wrote that the move was “deeply insulting” to the people of Denmark and Greenland.
    • Officials in Copenhagen and Nuuk, capital of Greenland, had been firm but direct in their refusal to consider the sale of the semiautonomous territory on the world’s largest island. Frederiksen’s comment that Trump’s largest ever real estate gambit was “absurd” appears to have triggered the anger reaction from the Oval Office.
    What to watch for: The Greenland spat has dominated headlines ahead of a tough week for Trump, who will meet G7 leaders in Biarritz, France, later this week. Trump has faced criticism for his calls to readmit Russia to the group after it was booted out in 2014 over its illegal annexation of Crimea.
    Meanwhile, despite his claims that the U.S. economy is performing well, Trump is pushing the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by at least a full percentage point as concerns about the global economy and the impact of his trade war with China mount.
    The release of Federal Reserve minutes later today and Fed chairman Jerome Powell’s speech on Friday at the central bank’s annual meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, will hint at the next steps.
    Key background: Trump’s declaration that he wants to purchase Greenland has been widely met with disbelief in Washington and Copenhagen, with ex-prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen suggesting that the move was an “April Fools’ Day joke.” Trump confirmed to reporters on Sunday that he had discussed the “strategically interesting” concept, which he described as “essentially a large real estate deal.” On Monday, he tweeted a meme of Trump Tower superimposed onto a Greenland landscape, and said: “I promise not to do this to Greenland!”

    In a diplomatic response, Kielsen said that Greenland was not for sale but that “Greenland is open for trade and cooperation with other countries, including the USA.”
    The U.S. has tried to buy the strategically significant but largely icebound island on at least two other occasions, and the U.S Air Force continues to operate a large airbase there.

    xi an be serious!




    we have all heard of the famous explorer
    you know the one
    hell there was even a huuge and pricey drama series about him
    he is famous as all fuck
    he allegedly crossed the deserts on a handcart of solid fuck
    ate camel chips with the k.ubester
    and invented china

    until as recently as last year
    it was accepted fact that he was from venezia
    but not friuli venezia giulia
    no
    that would be too sensible!

    but last year and intrepid adventurer
    bravely set forth into the great unknown
    of a shopping mall in xi an, china

    it was whilst in the untamed wilds of that shopping mall
    and looking for a cash machine
    that he discovered this remarkable fact

    not only wasnt he from friuli venezia giulia
    but he wasnt even from venezia!
    madness!

    he was actually from eire
    yes that green and broguey island
    with guinness and horrible folk music

    most probably from whatever the irish equivalent is
    of soapy tit wank

    stopping no stations to trippylandia








    yes
    its not the forest
    the lack of trees
    and fog make that plain
    and theres no hair product to be seen
    no basketball boots
    stylishly undone
    no pancakes to be slapped on
    and no kiss me kiss me kiss me wuby wed lips


    but for any bewildered teen
    standing on the beach
    staring at the sand
    it made the side b highlights really reel
    (and importantly no arabs were harmed in the making of the track)

    and it was oooh so mysterious
    who was jumping?
    whos train were they jumping?
    where the flying fook was the train going?
    and how much fun
    must it have been
    if they kept doing it
    again and again and again and a...

    (its almost enough to make one take another journey...)

    def marmelada pinche tube map


    hace mil anos
    nop
    no mil anios
    sip
    mil anos
    son muchos anos esos
    es un culo party

    lo mismo
    hace mil bucos de culos
    antes de que llegaron los criminales peninsulares
    existia la grande ciudad de tenochitlan
    era una civilization super avanzada
    sabian de chocolate
    de hijtomates
    de tobaco
    y de comer corazones
    (con chips)
    pero llegaron los pendejos espanoles
    y despues de matar a todos
    con sus armas
    sus germenes
    y
    su acero
    se quedaron quizas 10 por ciento de la poblacion chida
    y no mucho de la civilization antigua
    de hecho
    en su frenesia de dios y re de mierda
    buscaban de borrar todo la historia de este grandisima cultura

    pero
    almenos unos documentos
    los codecs
    aun nos llegue
    unos que no lograran a quemar

    y lo mas bello
    es esta mapa de la antigua metro tenochitlana submarina

    nechte je jíst zmrzlinu!



    death to fucking bread and cheese!
    after weeks faffpacking around western europe
    and trying to eat frugally due to the fucking price of food
    and the pathetic state of the oztrayan (mate) shekel
    eg two cows, your first born son and half a kidney for an icecream on nice bleach
    consisting of copious amounts of cheese and bread
    and loads of guilt for being shit at it and being a general spendthrift
    we finally arrived in prahahahaha
    where we had been promised all was cheap and cheerful
    by the lovely plain jane

    and it was true!
    compared to the horror prices of engerland, denmark, france and germany
    the czech czech czech it out was indeed bargains galore!
    (praise be to him)
    after czeching into the ostello di gioventu
    and getting royally fisted by a bureau de change
    for the umpteenth time
    we headed to a nearby supermarket to find some nosh
    and ended up giggling our little heads off at how cheap it all was
    austerity was over
    the recession we shouldve oughto to have to have had was done
    corny copiousouses abounded

    unlike our more grown up  travel companions
    who had lashed out on a better type of stir through pasta sauce
    as their indulgence
    i sought out the most ridiculous decadent item possible to celebrate the newfound riches

    and after a few short minutes of snickering like a smackhead
    who had just found a bin liner full of gack behind the shelter sheds
    i found my absurd delice
    which i would scoff in piggish abandon

    A FUCKING ICE CREAM CAKE!

    pobbbreee gueeeeey...








    tambien si el nombre de este idiota ya es bastante para enojarme
    y mucho
    por su politica
    que fucking cretino
    pero el esta querido y demasiado en mexico
    yo lei algo sobre este fenomena
    tipo
    sus historias del intruso
    y el romanticismo en sus letras
    tienen algo super atractivo por los mexicas

    pero
    sus fans mexicanos tendrian que no entender demasiado de ingles
    porque sus letras hablan tambien de racismo
    y el es el racista!
    que en un mundo de drumpf
    y su actitud de mierda contra los mexicas
    los ensarian una cuenta muy distincta!

    pues
    este grupo
    mexrissey
    es un supergrupo
    sobretodo tiene musicos de cafe tacuba
    que para mi (para nada un experto)
    es el mejor grupo mexicano de siempre
    y sus canciones
    sus covers
    son bellissimas
    interpretan sus canciones con un toque puro mexicano
    o sea
    fucking chido!

    and he never smelled us later



    sure
    lord admiral portfolio lungobardo snappypants nelson did a good job
    he handed old bony parts his cul
    and his spanish mates, their culos
    which was no mean pear of feet
    but
    he went down like he was shot
    (by a marksman on the redoubtable)
    and he died desperately trying to get (an honestly guv)
    heterosexual snog from his sea matey hardy ha
    (the origin of the muntzers catchphrase no doubt)
    as he lay dying at the battle of trafalgar place (brynmill)

    in the end
    following nelsons obvious dive
    and subsequent penalty
    england dubiously won 1-0
    and bony parts was relegated to the championship

    the king inbred and all the toffs of engerland
    decided that he had pulled off such a scam
    that wouldnt be equalled until ronaldo in the 2000s
    that they built a column in his honour
    and stuffed it in the middle of the newly named
    trafalgar place square
    bang in the centre of lahhhndan

    but as they were pompous self important twats
    with no self control
    or sense of perspective
    so now there is a great big fuck off column
    in a huge wasteland of a square
    and its so comically peter crouch
    thats its neither awe inspiring
    nor imperiously intimidating
    it just fucking screams
    'column built by pompous self important twats with no self control or sense of perspective'

    its the end of that world...


    as they know it
    and millions of sad fanboyies and girlies are traumatised




    and it was spent
    the dragons and tits spectacular
    the most loved telly show since
    since not jebus didnt not have spokey dokeys

    and it ended with a misfiring squib
    being rammed right up the nerds rear admirals
    and they are fuuurrrriuuusss
    starting online petitions
    smashing their keyboards with their knuckle draggy hands
    AND WAILING IN CAPITALS
    because it didnt end how they had imagined


    at the start i found it pretty and  pretty uninspiring
    all that i am lord trevor, 15th son of the baron of arseloch
    i challenge you, king rectinol of the 9th sea of ubersplat
    over the death of my favourite long haired gazunderblech
    etc etc
    exposition? boh?
    but after all that  was EVENTUALLY over
    it did float the limeboat

    and the 12 year old mentalists did have a point
    the ending was a bit underwhelming
    all that epicness ending with
    ok, lets all fuck off somewhere else now for some chips


    but that was far less tragi/comic
    than the chorus of entitled wheezing elderly infants...

    drugs are bad mkaay?





    Back in the good old days - the second half of the 19th century- before political correctness gone mad etc etc stfu
    a 'french' (va te faire foutre, he was corsican) geezer called mariani came up with a popular drinkie and modestly named it after himself.
    loads of famous people publicly swore by the stuff
    including 2 popes, thomas edison, ulysses s grant, the french pm and emile zola all banged on about how super it was.
    in the ads, it was claimed it would restore health, strength, energy and vitality.
    YOU WANT SOME RIGHT NOW ehi?!

    what made it so downright brillo?
    it was 'à la Coca du Pérou'
    thats right
    it was bang full of cocaine
    so shove your copycat early coca cola up your gringo arse
    this was alcoholic AND  it was chockers with charlie!

    no wonder it made everybody feel so amazeballs...

    and

    its worth a revisit
    hell
    its quite literally the 20th annif!
    and its still fucking 'ilarious!
    it made even the most wannabe cynical types crack a giggle on
    and sing along in the most appalling of tone deafness one could witness
    (between tea break mugs of gin and unsettling winking brought on by incorrect contact placement)

    now in techniculo!

    fuck juve e la sua nebbia




    la juve mi fa schifo
    sono ladri e imbroglioni
    questo non e' un opinione
    e stata beccata tante volte
    pagando l'arbitro
    drogando i giocatori
    ecc ecc
    ma sopratuto per l'arroganza
    la mentalita di 'siamo speciali'
    e' una cosa schifosa

    communque
    nell'autunno di 2001
    facevo un soggiorno sconsigliato
    all'inghotto
    ...
    una storia lunga
    ...

    e mi hanno offerto dei biglietti gratis
    per una partita del champions!
    fuck juve contro bayer leverkeusen
    si!
    sarrebbe stata una figata!

    pero quando ci siamo arrivati allo stadio
    non si vedeva un tubocazzo
    per colpa della fucking nebbia

    la partita e' stata cancellata
    e non ho visto niente
    uselle!
    (e fuck juve)
