Thought for the day yeah? I reckon that almost everyone is basically decent and the only reason they’re able to behave like such awful cocks is through ignorance or self-delusion. Don’t get me wrong, some people are far more selfish than others, but almost nobody is able to look calmly at human suffering and not care. This is part of what makes us human. For normal people, violence against others is only possible in the heat of passion. It takes adrenaline and emotion. This is why we have to train our soldiers. This is why we have to demonise our official “enemies” and make them seem somehow inhuman. This is why we have to sanitise our brutality to make it sound surgical and bureaucratic. Otherwise neither Daily Mail readers nor terrorists could say “Bomb the evil ones” without feeling like they’re asking for other people’s mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children to be ripped apart by flying fragments of white hot metal.
Then sometimes, I read something like Topsy Turvy’s comment below and I realise that the propaganda isn’t always necessary. Some people are just so fucking thick that they are barely able to comprehend the world they live in. They see everyone else discussing stuff and, like a pre-linguistic child, they flap their mouths and make noises in the firm belief that they’re joining in.
“Can the Amazon be exploited without being destroyed?”
Asia is a MASSIVE continent. Why can’t she feed herself?
Topsy Turvy, England, United Kingdom
Fuck. Me.
Good fucking God. Where do you start?
what a stupid twat.
Asia IS massive and should go on a diet. END OF.
Topsy Turvy is a MASSIVE imbecile. Why can’t she kill herself?
Broken head.
I hope… and i think i may be clutching at straws. that there was some point in the article that mentioned china’s growing demand for foods…..
..surely he doesn’t… can he?…. no..
He does have a point though…
For an obviously right-wing tosspot he seems to be under the mistaken belief the world distribution of food works along the lines of a communist ideal.
And where are the TINY continents that make Asia look so MASSIVE?
I have just broken a tooth, banging my head against my key board.
brilliant. this should be etched into a brass plaque, attached to a rocket and launched into outer space.
I knew Topsy Turvy was thick, but this is a new low. I am gobsmacked.
At least Topsy Turvy is consistent in being a massive Giant Squid’s slobbering beef curtains.
I’ve noticed twattish drivel from that orifice so many times whilst perusing the general mononeuronic bollocks that seems to spew forth on HYS.

I’m looking on my globe (pre-dissolution) and I can’t see where exactly in Asia the Amazon may be found. Is it next to… um… Cawnpore?
He knows it’s not in Asia. He jsut thinks that Asia is a gigantic fat woman who leans over with her huge fork (or chopsticks) and plucks trees from the rainforest by the bushel to stuff into her gaping maw.
Am I being really retarded? I can’t work out what that’s supposed to be. Is it an ASCII magic eye?
Reminds me of this comment I saw on the “This is London” website on an article about the Austrian incest case:
Australia really needs to make some changes to their social services
to ensure that nothing like this happens ever again. Instead of the
lovable Steve Irwen, this monster is all that I will be able to think
of when someone mentions Australia.
- Gw, Alabama USA
It’s a massive ASCII facepalm. I felt it was justified.
Ah, I see…

I used to cry myself to sleep at the stupidity of HYSers. Then I found SYB and rejoiced that maybe we could counteract the stupid.
Now I’m crying again because I’ve realised we can never win. Too much Stupid.
I feel a bit cheated….
As much as I dislike Topsy Turvey and would love to dislike him/her more, the topic description does specifically state that rainforests are being destroyed to meet demand for beef and soy beans from growing Asian economies.
I prefer the Steve Irwen comment - that makes me smile.
I’m sure someone submitted that
It’s sat in my bulging digital sack somewhere.
Yeah, I thought that might be the case. So it just leaves us with his bewilderingly dimwitted belief that everybody in the world grows their own food and raises their own beef. This sort of mistake might be forgivable if he’d only ever lived in places that DID grow their own food. I expect he thinks that Tesco is the name of a nice local farmer who grows lettuce, limes, Hovis, Israeli apples and DVD recorders.
Oh, I’m fairly sure, from reading lots of his comments, that he’s male. Can’t remember why, probably some rampant misogyny. Though there’s plenty of women on HYS who seem prepared to lament universal suffrage.
You posted so much garbled punctuation there V, that I thought you were W A Froud for a second,,,
He’s definitely male. He often writes about how, as a single, white, childless male, he’s a member of the most discriminated against group in Britain.
Tit.
I know someone with the nickname Topsy-Turvey. He likes to turn up to work in woman’s clothes and complain about how much his suspender belt is chaffing.
He now wears a bra to support his man boobs.
He’s not well liked.
Chivster, you must work in the best place in the world. I’d love to have a figure of fun in my workplace like that rather than the dullards I currently have. Unless of course they are all laughing at me.
I know from my incoming links and stats that there are more than a couple of transvestites and/or transgenderers (what’s the word there?) who read this blog. So please be careful not to cause offense. Or they’ll dress you up in a pretty blue frock and then pull your arms off.
Even if Topsy isn’t so dumb as to think that the Amazon is actually in Asia - still not entirely convinced he isn’t - he has an anstonishingly poor grasp of basic geography, let alone geopolitics.
greedy asia gobbling up south america
He’s not ill liked for being a transvestite or a transexual. He’s ill liked for being a nasty sleazy little shite who thinks that the fact that he wears woman’s clothes makes it fine for him to behave like a fuckgoblin.
Pulling my arms off may be ok but the threat of the pretty blue frock fills me with fear.
As a regular reader, I’ve come to the tragic conclusion that he really might not be taking the piss.
No, JonR, TopsyTurvy should be nailed on to a brass plaque and shot into outerspace, where he can rain his twatty right-wing ideas on to the heads of millions.
Or die. That’d be OK too.
Look on the bright side: when Topsy-Turvy heroically leads the brave resistance against Communist Multiculturalism, he won’t have a clue where to find darkies to shoot.
site was funnier without the preaching, you’ve finally jumped the shark
But it was probably an immigrant shark, taking away jobs from our single childless white male sharks.
Or a stealth shark. Like a stealth tax, only even more deadly.
Ah, I’d been assuming Topsy Turvy was a woman because Topsy was the girl in “Topsy and Tim”. I suppose that’s a bit above Mr. Turvy’s reading level.
I once went to Asia, didn’t like it. Food was very bad, you grew tired of tiger penis and snake blood. If the rainforest destruction means that I can get a decent burger in whatever the next Far East hot spot for child buggery is, then count me in.
You think Asia’s bad, you should see Australia. Penguins fucking everywhere.
Ah Nelson, I see you have not been introduced to the Greater Internet Fuckwad theory: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/
Although in some cases I have to admit that some people are cunts in real life too. Topsy Turvy being one of them.
Daft bird, it was ironic preaching.
Currently strangling myself with mouselead as have lost the will to live
dont do it Pengu ………. think of your Australian cousins
Topsy Turvy is a MASSIVE cunt. Why doesn’t he go fuck himself?
Was just reading about the Dunwoody stuff in Crewe and I found myself reading a telegraph article. It’s a classic “Typing with his bowtie on”. The chap who wrote it is attempting to prove that the Tory candidate (Mr Timpson) is not a toff. Fucking hilarious.
“[...] just to make sure, we tracked Mr Timpson down to the Red Cow pub, where we discovered the crushing news that he went to the same school, Uppingham, as we went to ourselves. Uppingham is a school for the sons and daughters of Midlands manufacturers, not toffs.”
A POINT WELL MADE.
Soz Jenn. You can always watch “Happy Days” (pre shark) instead if you’re finding it hard going.
“I know from my incoming links and stats that there are more than a couple of transvestites and/or transgenderers (what’s the word there?) who read this blog.”
Do you mean there’s more than one of us reading this. I wonder who the others are?
“So please be careful not to cause offense. Or they’ll dress you up in a pretty blue frock and then pull your arms off.”
Too bloody right we will. I had my pretty blue frock on last night, so it’s readily available. And it’s sleeveless, so will look good even if the wearer has had their arms pulled off
So we’re agreed then, that Asia’s over-reliance on Amazon is bad for independent book and music retailers.
That Timpson article is brilliant…
Hmmmmmmm

Looking at the picture Mr Cat posted: observe how red David Cameron is in that photo, look at how the veins on his left arm are standing out (that’s his left).
Perhaps he’s just seen a foreign person, allowed to do the job of a Brit? Maybe he’s going to post some rascist bile on Have Your Say, under a pseudoname, like ‘Topsy Turvey’ for example.
Not that I’m saying it’s certain, but as head of the Department of Gnomish affairs, I do have contacts in MI5. All I can say is: the investigation is ongoing.
“I know from my incoming links and stats that there are more than a couple of transvestites and/or transgenderers (what’s the word there?) who read this blog.”
I’m wearing womens underwear as I read this, does that count?
Yes.
Are you very small? Women’s underwear doesn’t fit me. Well.. not the stuff I have easy access to anyway. And if I *do* get it to fit, I tend to get in trouble with its usual owner. Perhaps I need to get myself down to “Long Tall Sally”.
nice, now weve moved on to slagging people off according to the school they went to,
to be honest if you cant take it yourself then dont dish it out, your worse than imigrants.
K Jennifer, I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you’re genuine but really have just missed the point. So, I’m going to explain the joke. Explaining a joke is a terrible thing to do and sucks all the life out of the poor thing. But I’m going to do it for you because I care about you more than the joke. If you still don’t get it, you should probably stop reading this site because you’re not going to get anything else. It will all seem unfunny and shit to you and reading it will just make you sadder. I don’t want you to be sad.
Here goes:
The joke is that he’s trying to use the fact someone went to Uppingham to prove that they’re not a toff. Going to Uppingham does not make you a bad person. Stephen Fry went to Uppingham and he is, as far as I can tell, a decent bloke. He’s also far too bright to imagine that attending a famous, well resourced, 400 year old public boarding school is the norm for kids in this country. All this shot completely over the head of the author of the telegraph article who really IS a toff in the bad sense because he doesn’t understand that he’s privileged and that most people attended schools that offer far less opportunity than Uppingham. That’s why it’s funny, and also a little bit tragic.
TADA!!
@Jennifer
I refer to your comment “your worse than imigrants”. I work with two immigrants from India and can assure you that their spelling and grammar is far superior to yours, as is their attitude. In fact, I’d venture to say that they are generally fantastic people doing a great job and that I’d far rather work with them than than some of the ill-educated prejudiced morons which this country has regrettably produced in recent years. Now, while you’re here, can I get fries with that?
As someone who was educated in an independent day school in the midlands I feel able to state, quite categorically, that Uppingham has more than its fair share of ‘toffs’. You also find that boarding schools have more ‘toffs’ than day school simply because the toff-parents like to wash their hands of the children for as long as possible so they can swan around the world poking people and asking why they can’t speak a damned word of English.
Fortunately, and I can also state this categorically, that just with cats having four legs and yet not all four-legged animals being cats, all toffs went to private school and yet not all private school pupils are toffs.
Apropos of nothing related to this topic, tonight is the first time I’ve seen this site and at times I’ve been laughing so much my ears almost started bleeding. Methinks I must ration my viewing for fear of permanent hilarity-related injury.
“Methinks”
Rip his arms off - I’ll get the pretty blue frock …
I own two four-legged animals, and they’re BOTH cats. There’s something Andy isn’t telling us.

‘What do you think about working class girls?’
‘Well, I think there have to be some. Otherwise it would be so hard to be served in shops and things.’
If there is a greater delusional multiple pseudonymed fuckwit than Topsy Turvy……….I don’t want to know
Sorry to say, Burnel, there are. There is the American - P, Kohler, Washington, D.C. who goes off on right wing diatribes that are so utterly offensive, smug, and holier than thou I hold him personally responsible for the rise in Anti-Americanism. He has several pseudonyms: P, Kohler, P.C. Kohler, Peter Kohler, Speedbird, Joe Schmoe, and a few others whose names I do not remember at this time. He is a mean spirited son of a bitch who if he decides that he hates you, he will leave what he thinks are anonymous hate comments for you to read in any forum, thinking that will run you off, because it worked on one person he did that to. He started doing to two other people who are regular contributors, but they outwitted him, and got even. Just to let you know P, Kohler, by his own admission, has stated that he works for the US Dept. of Defense in a forum about the Iraq war two years ago. This guy is a fucking bastard.
Topsy Turvy is just one giant jackass alog with a few others, like John Adair.
