“Writing stories about the Veg could be English”. Yes, that WILL be thrilling. I can see it now.

One day, Arthur the radish was lying back in his, er, bush thingy where they grow wondering to himelf…
Hmmm? Oh, sorry.
I got distracted with something else for a second.

No need for a spark to start the fire, it was always burning since the world’s been turning.

According to the Billy Joel hypothesis.

Oh Mildred, I’d love to celebrate with you but Joy-Bloody-Pattison has ruined the word ‘joy’ forever.
Similarly, the number of animals whose special-places I can admire without getting nasty HYS associations is, thanks to the efforts of this site, rapidly dwindling.

pleased to say that ‘joy’ still has positive associations for me, but thanks for the warning vicky, i’ll remember close my eyes when it’s followed by a P

think i might have to close my eyes when it comes to admiring animals’ special places as well. i do love animals, but never lustfully

As if we needed any more confirmation that we shouldn’t let turdmunchers off HYS set the national curriculum. There’s already too many people who can’t spell and think paedo immigrants cause cancer.

How’s this for the maths syllabus. There are two girls, but only one cup. How long before you have to stop watching?

“Stories about veg? Sounds like a secret commie ZaNuLiarBore plot to turn us all vegan! Which, er, is something I don’t know much about so it must be wrong. Oh yeah, and Hitler was a vegetarian, so that makes it a nazi plot as well! Commie… Nazi… hang on, these thoughts make me a complete twat! Everything that confuses me is bad, wrong, evil and un-English – that’s why even the tiniest bit of change or variation must be stamped out!”

Obviously, this is still far too rational and well-thought out.

And not punctuated by grunts and then howls of frustration as non-opposable thumbs smash hopelessly upon the keyboard…
