“English** History (in the correct order of events without side tracks into ‘ethnic’ events) would be a good starter. If you don’t understand your past, you can’t understand your present.” ***

I fully agree with him – all those ethnic events ruined history for me. Can’t we have a proper history, without all this unnecessary rubbish about Saxons and Romans and Normans and furrin tea companies and holocausts and suchlike?

Also, my mum gave me some cue tip adhesive for my birthday, and I don’t understand why (I hardly ever play pool). Perhaps if I understood my past it would make sense.

** not British

*** I also think we should be taught blockquotes in school

“Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won’t mistake for the real thing.”

Looks like we need an HYS versh. You just need to replace “Fundamentalism” with “twatdom” or suchlike, and give it a funky name.

two things astound me, firstly, my comment history has been lost, are auntie seriously telling me they have no backups??
secondly, blogging is pretty useless, it gives jim round the corner an equal voice with a real expert and it means that you just end up up with complete non-facts which unfortunately, some people then go on to believe. Look at the “global warming” guff and how that’s ruined our freedoms.

I have met concrete with more self-awareness than this prick. He points out that the trouble with the internet is know-nothing dicks spouting shite and obscuring expert opinion. Then he denies global warming and berates the BBC IT dept for bad practice and the loss of his back-catalogue of HYS posts… sheesh, what a proper blind loon.

I can’t believe this!

We are in the middle of the biggest economic disaster in 70 years and parliament is in meltdown diue to institutional corruption – and the national broadcaster thinks the biggest talking point is a talent show.

Draw you own conclusions about the BBC.

Rejection of this comment proves my point.

Last night, Chiptheduck came second in Britain’s Got Wankers when his display of choreographed keyboard-slamming failed to impress the judges. He is still smarting at being beaten by a diverse dance ensemble featuring Joy Pattison, Nick Griffin, Prince Phillip, Richard Littlejohn and Mel Gibson called Race-Is-Ace. Rejection of this comment proves my point.

Next you’ll be telling us his name isn’t really “Jimmy Lazers”.

Of course it isn’t. He’s just calling himself that to sound cool. His real name is Cedric Lazers. (badabom-tish)

I’m not trying to be entertaining or funny (it’s just as well), but merely pointing out the irony of mocking something that is clearly a pisstake.

Well don’t. Lead by example, not by sixth-form common-room quibbling. This thread has become a catastrophic porrdge-swamp of well-meaningness and fartery.

I blame that fucking Thatcher.

But in the meantime, thanks for telling us all how and when to comment correctly. I for one welcome such pedantic, unnecessary and self-righteous lecturing. Why, at one stage reading your stuff I almost gave a living shit!
