Machoke was originally a Primeape.  

A quick question, has anything happened over the last two weeks news wise?  I've not had any of it on which has been therapeutic to say the least, but I'm mildly curious to know if I've missed anything.

Well, Oscar Pistorius is on trial again. More notably, a Malaysian plane with 239 (I think?) people on board has completely vanished.

And Putin is a dick.

That's news?

Even the toddlers have it out for him.

How can I put this in a nice way?

Get yersel tae fuck!

I think that post of mine managed to troll Jay, Masofdas and Jas. I'm so proud of myself. (Apart from the racism thing, natch.)

I said get tae fuck ya racist prick!

Well now that's just unkind.

Oh look the racist is havin a wee greet.

One thing that this forum has done is expand my vocabulary, mostly northwards.  For example, I'd never heard of a "walloper" before I came on here. "Greet" for cry, I take it?

Oh, and, er,    etc.

Aye, noo piss aff ya big walloper.

You have no idea how long I just sat and waited for pictures to load.

Vanished? Well that's certainly not something I was expecting, I'll have to look up more.

This is not a parody - this is a legitimate advert from the Conservatives.



The condescension is dripping off that ad.

The good thing about this is that we'll hopefully get another round of "mock the Tory adverts", like we did with "We can't go on like this."

EDIT: Yup, they're already out there: http://www.itv.com/news/2014-03-19/that-shapps-tweet-and-the-parodies-that-followed/

I don't see anything that wrong with the budget, the Tories are going for people that actually vote there being blasted there anti-young but if the young don't vote what's the point of going after them and if you don't vote you can't moan.

Me being young the pension thing doesn't bother me at the moment and I don't drink but the personal tax allowance going up to £10,500 meaning that I pay less on my wages is great, the tax free isa going up as well and fuel duty being frozen.

So at the moment I'm staying Tory.
