People will moan about anything.

I had to Google one of the women they'd picked and the results didn't even show her up, as the BBC have spelt her name with a z instead of an s. Turns out she designed one building.

If they'd put wee Jimmy Krankie in maybe it would've appeased both groups?

 


Optimistic as ever

The criticism came from Emily Thornberry. Even Germaine Greer had better things to worry about.

Does anyone actually care? Like really? I feel like there are hordes of people who look out for things that people might find offensive, but is there anyone that actually is? I find it impossible to imagine people are that sensitive.

 


The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

The Scottish and in particular Scottish women exist just to moan and whinge.

Fcuk'em.

Ha, having worked a lot in Scotland the last 2 years, it's clear that most of them want their own passport. Never known there to be such an anti English sentiment up there in all my time visiting, matter of time before they sever the ties I think.

I am sure there are people who are obsessed with taking offence on behalf of others. Watching telly not to enjoy the shows but sitting there on the edge of their seats, just waiting for something they can complain about. They are sad precious b******s who need to get a life and/or seek help from professional mental health workers.

Remember when David Cameron used the word "swarm" to describe the numbers of illegals congregating at Calais? The t***tersphere went into hysterical mass knicker wetting outraged mode because he uttered the dreadful word "swarm', totally overshadowing the real matter of hordes of people trying to enter the UK.

The question is how much extra are they going to charge for them?

Just looked at my brand new old one. All the pages seem to be from a geography textbook, about mountains and the weather.

Question is why is Ada Lovelace not doing the washing up, and is she any relation to Linda?

Bit unfair, they also serve as a 'cathartic anger release for their drunken husbands'

The same amount, unless you're a woman and/or Scottish. Then it's double.
