He eventually re-fastens his trousers – with total indifference to other people needing to use the Post Office cash machine – after withdrawing a wad of notes. LAD.

He has literally pissed over every hard-working family that uses the Post Office. An animal would know better.

It's clear from his face he has demanded Winston Churchill forces his mouth open, and delightedly pumped urine down the great man's gullet. As a final "one in the eye" for Britain, he "shakes" the remaining droplets on the corpse of a soldier, abandoned in Oxford Street by Tony Blair.

No sooner has he refastened his trouser cord than he's at it again, this time the pop hopeful "has a wank" at the home of music legend Robin Gibb, who has diabetes.

two months pass...

When I was a kid I didn't have an XBox, or Wii. I had a bike and a curfew (the street lights). Mum didn't call my mobile, she yelled outside, "time to come in". I played outside with friends, not Online. If I didn't eat what my mum made me then I didn't eat. Hand sanitizer didn't exist, but you COULD get your mouth washed out with soap. Re-post this if you drank water out of a hose...and survived!

At least when you drank water out of a hose it tasted like water. Now it just tastes like plastic. Why can't you buy a proper tomato anymore, these ones just taste like water.

If I didn't eat what my mum made me then I didn't eat.

And if you got rickets and kwashiorkor, then that was your lookout, parents instilled personal responsibilty in their malnourished kids in those days

As a taxpayer, you're lucky to be drinking from the pipe without a hefty fine from the cowboy hose police.

Hosepipe ban is ridiculous I mean it only rained last Tuesday for goodness sake and don't try to tell me it didn't because I remember getting soaked on the way back from paying my newspaper money to the Pakistani lad in the corner shop.

Genuflection X (oppet), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 11:32 (thirteen years ago) link

It's a new kind of person comes in the shop now. They're the ones buying things. If it wasn't for them we'd be bust. Neighborhood's changed. Used to be all British people here, now look at it.

It doesn't rain enough. The only reason my garden doesn't look like a French holiday camp is thanks to the youths pissing on my lawn. You could take your dog for walks.

Thought this revival was going to be about a Daily Mail article today about the 14 year old who died at a party in West London:

But one of her teachers blamed her downward spiral on an addiction to the internet.
J@ye Williams@n, who was Isobel’s English teacher at Chiswick Community College, in west London, said: ‘She was into the kind of things that teenagers get into, but she got hooked on the worldwide web. She was part of the Myspace generation. She got caught and we are devastated.’

Not linking to the distasteful article - but people speaking to papers should keep a respectful silence.

Bob Six, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 11:46 (thirteen years ago) link

This is what happens when you ride recklessly down the super information highway.

But in seriousness, I googled the article and, yep, it's fucked.

Evil Eau (dog latin), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 11:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Fucking hell, that's my old school.

Daily Mail article is predictably grim reading.

in my day teenagers used the "word wide web" responsibly and were educated enough not to get trapped in metaphors, this is gordon brown's fault

It's a shameful indictment of today's skew-whiff standards, but we have to face the fact that social workers can and will administrate the force-feeding of drugs to children nowadays.

We had sad 'kinda lol but mostly sad'-expressions on our faces here when we heard the teacher literally say this to the BBC cameras yesterday.

the social fabric has been literally rent apart and communication with one's fellows is all but impossible. each day I see teenagers and pensioners fall to blows in the streets over their inability to smoothly navigate around one another in shop entrances and on sidewalks. they're little better than the packs of wolves that swoop in to chase them off of a fresh carcass, they are.

oh god that teacher, she actually said there was "too much knowledge".

In my day it was learning timetables and capitals of the empire by rote, and THAT WAS IT. Kids nowadays learn on the internet how to drug themselves into a coma.

what happened? society used to be something you could point to and feel proud, like a boat. now you need to consult with three government clerks and a panel of so-called experts just to find out where the damn thing is, and by the time you get there it's likely closed early for Ramadan. unfathomable! they've literally gone beyond the pale!!!

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 13:13 (thirteen years ago) link

what calls itself "society" today wouldn't have passed muster on the playground when I was growing up! we used to form up ranks and march all through the school grounds showing off our fathers' guns; in fact, we liberated a good deal of France that way before any of us even realized what was going on. nowadays, if teens line up at all, it's for the grand opening of some new sex shop or 'fusion' restaurant. no thank you!

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 13:32 (thirteen years ago) link

society literally could not be any worse if you took a hammer to it — but good luck finding one that doesn't fall apart in your hand on the walk home!

everything worthy of the name "society" breathed its last sometime in the 1980s. they've kept it alive on a machine ever since, so that friends and relatives might still enjoy the simple pleasures of holding hands and stroking hair. but now they're going to unplug it, because someone thinks that money would be better spent funding sex-change operations for vicious stray mutts who are, they tell us, only lashing out at the world because they're "confused". well they're not the only ones!!!

wish i hadn't search out that teacher article in the mail now. led me to the story of the goalkeeper who got punched

club owners say "he will be banned from the club until further notice"

How about for fucking life? the prick.

btw, the goalkeeper won't be banned obv

Someone on my Facebook linked to that teacher article saying that the first thing they thought of when they heard about it was Summer Heights High's Mr G, which strikes me as a grimly accurate observation

Top comment:

"I'm not a Conservative. I loathe Tory scum. So I'm biased.

However I respect the Telegraph for NOT being News International and having higher standards of journalism.

This reminds me why.

I genuinely hope everyone working for News International; and their moronic readership; chokes on their own vomit and dies tonight. So we have plenty of space to bring in lots of decent hard working immigrants to replace the vile parasitic scum."

I was just about to agree with him about Oxford Road and then i got to this: No one has ever told them that to eat or drink in the street is a degraded thing to do; and if they were told it would only make it more attractive to them, for what more sincere expression of sympathy for those who suffer from bad behaviour is there than imitation of it?

A fair proportion of the students carried a plastic bottle, complete with something uncommonly like a dummy's teat, as if global warming had transformed the road into the Sahara Desert.

Think he's seeing mirages here- wtf at the "dummy's teat" bit?
