Thanks to John for this one from the “Points of View” messageboard. I can’t believe I didn’t know it existed.
Does this woman imagine that the only reason there are no centaurs around is because nobody’s fucking their horse these days?
I’ve been thinking about this and finally decided I MUST express my feelings on the ‘personal remarks’ Dr Alice Roberts made about Neanderthals in ‘The Incredible Journey – Europe’, first broadcast on 24th May and repeated in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Had she been making the comments about people of a different ethnic background to herself, they could have been regarded as racist.
I refer to how, when she was talking about the idea of Neanderthals and ‘modern’ humans interbreeding, she looked at a reconstruction of a head, depicting how a Neanderthal might have appeared, pulled a face, shook her head and dismissed the idea completely – “No, I don’t think so”, or something close to that, was her comment.
She also made disparaging remarks about how far apart their eyes were (no further apart than mine and other people’s from what I could see!) and other features.
Many so-called modern Europeans, myself included, possess various Neanderthal-like features to a greater or lesser degree and I felt she was, in turn, insulting those of us who have them by making these comments.

Wow, that is truly a post of beauty.
Oh, please please please let that one be read out of the TV show. Please.
Proof – as if any were needed – that commenters on these sorts of things truly are a breed apart.
Not the larger brains, though. Apparently.
I can’t understand why we’re meant to be mocking this post. I too have a head, torso, limbs, skin, hair and facial features – just like the Neanderthals did! Which makes any disparaging comments about their appearance WORSE THAN THE FINAL SOLUTION.
Kudos to thecats’mother for getting her Neanderthal brain around how to work a computer. Next stop, learning how to punctuate. Or how not to be a mental.
As a spokesperson for the Neanderthal Anti-Defamation league, I would like to take this opportunity to disassociate ourselves from thecats’mother’s claims of neanderthal inheritance.
We get enough bad press as it is, without being bracketed with BBC HYS’ers.
hang on, if she is the cats mother, then she must herself have had a bit of feline cock in her time?
neandertal, more like liono from the thundercats.
[blockquote]she looked at a reconstruction of a head, depicting how a Neanderthal might have appeared, pulled a face, shook her head and dismissed the idea completely – “No, I don’t think so”, or something close to that, was her comment.[/blockquote]
Alice Roberts is an Osteologist. She knows a crappy facial reconstruction when she sees one.
Blockquote fail
I went out with a guy once who had really Neanderthal features and his nickname was Lion-O (because that’s who he looked like). Although he was really good-looking, however improbable that sounds*.
Does this prove that Thundercats are the missing link between Neanderthals and modern humans? How cool would that be?!
*I might not be the best judge of male beauty. The Young Fella looks like Shaggy out of Scooby Doo**.
**I’ve just realised that I only go out with men who look like cult cartoon characters.
They’re all dead, Alice. Gone the way of the Dodo, but I see you don’t speak up for them.
That’s avaianistism in my book.
Thus, we have established four things.
1) That thecats’mother is a monumental idiot with far too much time on her hands. (Yes, yes, I appreciate the irony.)
2) That thecats’mother probably isn’t blessed with pulchritude in the commonly accepted conventional sense. It’s likely that she possesses a heavy jaw, thick and low brow ridge and wiry hair. She has also, evidently, given birth to a cat and is a) a genetic freak b) a witch who has consorted with the devil or c) intimately acquainted with her pet feline.
3) A Bit Special prefers her menfolk to be two-dimensional and cel-shaded.
4) Dr Alice Roberts has fairly high standards when it comes to appreciating the male form.
Out. Of. My. League.
*sad face*
On the plus side, my rodent like features, enormous ears and tendancy to hang around with ducks with severe speech impediments may mean I’m in with a crack at Ms Special if Shaggy messes up.
Bit Special – you are my friend Rebecca and your Young Fella is Sandy, and I claim my £10.
That or you are breaking up a happy home and you should be ashamed. Shame.
I’m excited by the fact that at least Dr Alice Roberts has excluded selecting one of another (extinct) species for breeding purposes. My chances have gone up ever soooo slightly.
Personally, I reckon thecatsmother is just fucking ugly and unhappy about that; the thought of neanderthal inbreeding made her feel better, until ALICE ROBERTS RUINED IT, LIKE OMG, WHAT A BITCH
I don’t see the problem; I’m a neandethal and I’d fuck Alice Roberts.
DAM fucked up blockquotes.
@Manly – sorry, but I’m not this Rebecca you speak of (nor is TYF called Sandy). But clearly Shaggy is a look women really go for. Much hilarity was had last weekend when The Young Fella put on a v-neck green t-shirt and some scruffy brown trousers without thinking.
@Throbbe – sorry, but I prefer my men to at least resemble human characters. I’ve got to have SOME standards! Though I appreciate your respectful usage of ‘Ms’.
thecats’mother could be male – he/she could’ve just thought it was hilarious to choose a name based on a dreary saying.
Wish someone would make a tv show where HYS mentals and their ilk could voice their bonkers grievances and hurts to the experts who have so crossed them and then fight it out to get ‘closure’. But make it light-hearted, like ‘It’s a Knockout’. Stuart Hall is still alive and available for work. DO YOU HEAR ME, BBC EXECS? MAKE IT SO!
Doesn’t not being dead 30,000 years ago and living in Europe qualify us as actual modern Europeans? What is it with these people and their incessant so calling?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbpointsofview/F1951566?thread=6672697
After seeing himself outed as a Shaggy-alike, TYF has insisted that I point out that I closely resemble Scrappy-Do (in all ways).
Or even Scrappy-Doo.
Where do we draw the line people?
If thecats’mother is happy to fuck Homo Neanderthalensis, why stop there? Why not Homo Heidelbergensis, or making the old two-backed beast with an Australopithecine…
Maybe she has a pet chimpanzee, sorry, animal companion, well more of a soul mate really – “What’s that Cheeta? Want a special tickle from mummy?”
I present you exhibit A: http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40778000/jpg/_40778150_keown203x270.jpg
I was in the pub last week and a group of lads were sitting by the fireplace in the saloon bar, pointing at a magazine and laughing. I was intrigued so I sidled over (I chose not to saunter on this occassion) and found that they were mocking a reconstruction of a female homo habilis in a Geographical publication.
I hope society isn’t developing a nasty trait of mocking the sexuality of our antecendants.
Woof woof woof
Slurp slurp slurp
Extinct extinct extinct
Can I point out that Neanderthal is just a short and pleasant train-ride out of Duesseldorf? Nice museum and cafe. Go visit, we’re friendly nowadays.
@bit special:
Woof?
Woof woof?
Wooooooooooooooooooof???
Bloody Neanderthals.They should send em all back in time to prehistory where they came from.
Yes sorry about that – all sorted now. Mind you, had a hell of a time getting thecat’smother back into the Tardis.
And Gobbler, I know you want a bit part in the next series, but frankly it’s before the watershed so we’re going to stick with K9. Perhaps Captain Jack might have an opening for you though?
Fnarr Fnarr!
Neanderthaals have been commonly regarded to be a different sub-species, not a different species, from modern humans. The centaur comment is pretty stupid. We don’t know if cro-magnon man and Neanderthaal man were interfertile, but there are at least as many biologists who think they might have been as who think they probably weren’t. It’s not remotely comparable to humans and horses.
What? In that you were hastily tacked onto a failing franchise as a last ditch, and largely futile, attempt to stay “down with the kids”.
Or is Shaggy being ungallant and comparing your looks to that of a minature Great Dane?
Or is it just that you have a really massive head and a tiny body?
Your worried public need to know.
@Digger – none of those things (I hope), but because I am really small but arsey. Just as everyone found Scrappy-Doo’s battle-ready tenacity merely adorable instead of taking it seriously, the world metaphorically – and sometimes literally – pats me on the head for being a girly-looking titch*, ignoring the reality of my dour, sneering, bad-tempered misanthropy (undoubtedly the result of the former). Grrrrr. Lemme at ‘em… Lemme at ‘em!
*I also have a girlishly high-pitched voice. When I’m hassling jobsworths about shit over the phone (one of my favourite pastimes), I am perpetually asked ‘Can I speak to your Dad?’. FUME.
I like a bit of Neanderthall. But I’m not keen on the strawberry bit. It doesn’t really go with chocolate and vanilla.
First they came for the Neanderthals.
And I did not speak out
Because I thought they were ugly.
@Bit Special
Alright, darling. Let the adults talk.
@Bit Special
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but round our way “everyone” found Scrappy Doo a cynical, character-free, witless bolt-on to a failing franchise that added nothing to the sum of human happiness. Now honestly, does that sound like you?
Your reasoning will be lost on the average HYS Neanderthal (not human) who claims to live in England (not UK).
Good to see that HYS is not the only recepticle for twatbasketweaving.
I give you a debate on ballet from Sky.
————————–
For ballet ever to reach it’s true heights of popularity, it should be performed in complete freedom as nature intended ( unclothed ) where one can truely appreciate movement, the utter beauty, the wonder of the human form. Yet even attempting such freedom of expression would have the christian brigade out in the streets in tens of thousands, waving their banners crying (CHILD ABUSE). Centuries of christian teaching, that all are the product of sin, the flesh be evil, such halfbaked nonsense in having brought great a burden upon humanity, where beauty taught / portrayed being evil.

@ finbarr Saunders, wtf??
@Rotwatcher – by ‘Just as everyone found Scrappy-Doo’s battle-ready tenacity merely adorable’ I meant that within the cartoon itself other characters didn’t take him seriously and lovingly patronised him (as far as I can remember). The character of Scrappy-Doo was indeed a desperate shark-jumping addition to the gang and an all-round twat.
Unlike me (hopefully). It’s just a joke implying I am a bad-tempered short-arse, ’tis all.

Oh bother that was Piltdown Man. But hey, who’s counting? Piltdown Schmiltdown. Neandertal, er, Schmeanderthal. I bet she’s up for it anyway.
Michael Jackson has died (and Farrah Fawcett). FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WILL YOU TRAWL HYS AS SOON AS IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, NELSON/ALEX/ETC.? I think we all know how *amazing* the comments are going to be… we can expect twatbasketry on a level we could previously only have dreamed of.
And by dreamed, I mean tormented by hellish, feverish nightmares.
Boo hoo, the tiresome, formulaic, paedo has-been has karked it and I’m going to have to go into hiding till the fuss dies down because I won’t be able to keep my gob shut when everyone’s going on about his *genius*.
Is this an actual verified sighting of that mythical beast “Political correctness gone mad”?
I already had a look at the first comments coming in about Michael Jackson.
You’re not wrong Bit Special, but you’re going to have to invent a new word. Twatbasketry just doesn’t seem strong enough.
Best comment in the Peter Pan thread.
“You’re not wrong Bit Special, but you’re going to have to invent a new word. Twatbasketry just doesn’t seem strong enough.”
Your not wrong, never have i seen a full array of comments that you would normally expect from an obituary thread but written so pompously or displaying such a previously unknown zenith of twatbasketry. “Iv never heard of him” posts as far as the eye can see dear children.
I agree – twatbasket just doesn’t cut this one.
We need a much bigger word for these cretins.
“?” WTF ????

You’re all right, ‘twatbasketry’ IS woefully inadequate, but it was late and I was a bit overwhelmed by the thought of what *precious* HYS bounty Jacko’s demise would bring. And how right I was!
How pissed off do you think Farrah Fawcett’s ghost is right now?
Also, could I make money on a bet that The Sun et al will be working in some Princess Diana-Jacko-in-heaven-together angle in the coming days, or is it too much of a given? I’ve never placed a bet before, but it seems a winner.

Given his marriage to the fragrant Lisa Marie, I’m going with an Elvis link somewhere.
“King of Pop” meets “King of Rock n Roll”.
Who knows ?
I was amused to see that some of most recommended comments are anti-Jacko. Perhaps this is because the usual idiots who post on HYS can’t find a way to crowbar in their usual gripes about ZA NU-LIARBORE, or their new favourite stock comment: “If this had happened in Iran we would be up in arms, but we allow it to happen here without complaint”
No comment needed.
Micheal Jackson……
He was the peoples’ peado.
‘People’s paedo’ – classic.
Spinning in her grave most likely. Best opportunity to revive her career since Lee Majors gave her the elbow, only to have it usurped by an “ethnic”.
I daren’t enter the hell of Jackson-themed HYS. On the one hand, you have opportunites for “rot in hell, paedo”, “rot in hell, nignog”, and “rot in hell, peadonignog”, but on the other hand, Diana PRINESSOFOURHARTS liked him.
Also
Okay, I lied. I couldn’t resist it. And to counter HissyFit’s claim that there is no way the HYS lot could get Iran/NuLiarBore in, I give you:
On the radio I heard, I swear I heard, an announcer say that Farrah Fawcett died of “canal cancer” – pronounced ‘canal’ as in tow path. But then Jacko died and with it, the laughter – sigh-
He’s referring to “The Butcher of Beirut”, now recast as a “moderate democrat”. His involvement in the destruction of the US Marine barracks during the Lebanese civil war is not to be mentioned. Michael Jackson was going to write a song about this….
I feel slightly ashamed to admit that when I heard that Michael Jackson had died, one of my first thoughts was how the dribbling multitudes of HYSers would respond, given their love of grief athletics set against their hatred of paedos.
I see they have exceeded expectations once again.
From the Times:
An interesting take on the whole “paedo/grief athlete” issue.
I can’t help but think that the media circus wouldn’t have been this great had a black popstar died.
Just got a message from a mate.
They have a transcript of the 911 tape and they have Michael Jackson’s last dying words on tape.
Paramedic: Does it hurt sir ?
MJ: Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
So sorry, coat is being got.
they said he will be buried at sea, between 2 bouys.
Damn Sickipedia has been showing the message “Database latency too high” for at least the last three hours – those jokes had better be blimmin’ good when I finally get a chance to look at it…

Oh Michael, how many times have I kissed your picture on my bedroom wall, how many times have I dreamt of you and me going out together (i was 12 at the time). Michael your music inspired us all, and I was lucky enough to see you 3 times in concert! I remember the first time like yesterday. You played at the free Trade Hall in Manchester, brilliant!!! You have left a legacy behind which no one past or future can touch. Rest in peace Michael Jackson for you a star amongst stars.

I really can’t take much more of this Jackson crap.
I doubt very many of the HYS fuckwits gave this infantile pervert warbler more than a second’s thought until they heard he’d been snuffed by his doctor.
Oh God, is it booze o’clock yet?
there is a debate somewhere on facebook going on, someone wrote “MJ’s death is worse than 9/11 – discuss”
someone piped up with the vaild point that there were no celebrities who perished in 9/11, so it must be true. outstanding

I shall have to think of something better to do than touring J.A’s lower colon, I know I shall leave my memory of michael jackson in a suitable receptical and flush it.
It seems that doctors have ruled out exposure to sunshine and moonlight as the triggers for MIchael Jackson’s heart attack. Good times are similarly unlikely to have brought it on. According to them, the most likely cause of death is boogie.
Farrah Fawcett was given a wish as she passed into heaven “Keep the children safe”

I’m confused. Does this mean when Gary Glitter dies he will be remembered as a musical genius and tragically missed around the world in a luxurious, Diana-style, grief-fest?
Or is GG still a hideous slavering peado because the cheap shit couldn’t afford the world’s best lawyers and doesn’t deserve our pity?
If you die $500,000,000 in debt, is that shrewed business sense? I honestly can’t decide.
What a team they’d make! He could traumatise them, and she could establish a rehabilitation center for them to recover, ready to be traumatised all over again.
On a serious note though, Michael, you will be missed. Rest in peace, you’re in heaven now, molesting cherubim.

Sorry. going to have a little rant here amongst all the wonderful Jacko comments – but why (and indeed, oh why) can so many people not tell the fkn difference between ‘lose’ and ‘loose’. They’re two DIFFERENT words pronounced in two DIFFERENT ways. The inability to tell the difference ranks high in my twatbasket identification criteria(yeah, I have a list, OK?).
@Clovis: you appear to have your priorities in life sorted correctly. Do you approve of my habit of taking pictures of punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors with my camera-phone everywhere I go?
I like this one:
Agreed. Death penalty for all improper use of loose/lose, effect/affect, alot,/allot/a lot and any apostrophe in the wrong place.
Well, perhaps not the death penalty, but something similar. Maybe a 2p fine.
Oops. Where do I send my 2p?
@Clovis
A big irritation for me is the habit of organising life’s experiences into lists. (Top 5 shags. 50 films to see before you die. 10 most irritating spelling mistakes. 100 funniest sketches. etc.) It implies that everything in life can be quantified and organised into distinct levels of merit, which I don’t believe they can, or should. In fact, assigning false numerical values to non-numerical experiences is my number one pet hate to be honest.

Oh dear that’s completely sick and worrying – erm, you’re not actually me are you?
Haaaa ha aha ah ha oh dear oh dear. (Dries eyes.) Genius, pure genius. The BBC (bunch of leftists if you ask me) should take the 100 most brilliant MJ comments from HYS (but, my word, choosing them would be difficult) and inscribe them on a giant inflatable chimp to be moored permanently above Trafalgar Square. The whole work would be entitled “MJ – we’ve Had our Say” (you couldn’t make it up)” and tourists would flock from as far afield as Arnos Grove to gaze with wonder upon the brilliance of these utterances. Erm, and the chimp (blimp) of course. Yes. _*IF*_ I’m right.

@Chelsea: Yes, PLEASE Nelson start a new topic. Has any celebrity died recently, or anything? I was thinking there might be a bit of fun in that, perhaps. Just a thought.
I notice non-standard spelling and grammar and very carefully remind myself that they are not actually criminal or unethical and that my objection to them is merely aesthetic. I am fairly sure that this makes me insufferable.
It would be exciting if there could be a new post some time. It is taking quite a long time to scroll to the bottom of this one.
Bollox. Nothing wrong with non-standard spelling and grammer. Being a pendants’ far worse.
Ms Special is a vet?
Since there have been no new posts since last week are we safe to assume that Nelson and Alex are (or were to be more correct) in fact Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson? I think we should be told…
I think it is more likely that Nelson was the President of Honduras and is currently preoccupied with scrabbling his way back in to power. SYB has the unmistakable whiff of a banana-republic dictator’s pet project. After a hard day torturing journalists, shooting human rights lawyers and raping the pretty left-wing students, every tyrant needs to relax. SYB is a despot’s hobby. It’s for taunting western liberals with the blatant evidence of the impossibility of democracy. “These comments were written by your electorate; look, weep and despair.” (followed by lots of Mwah hah hah obviously)
I suspect Nelson and Alex are on holiday or watching the tennis, or embroiled in a life and death struggle with somehting unpleasant. Or working, which would be far less cool.
Arrrhgh! I spelled “something” wrong!!!!
Disaster. Be merciful, Spesh!
And there’s been no Kelvin since Ali bongo died.
Just to derail the derailment of this thread in a Shandyesque fashion…
Ha! I demand that someone makes this programme immediately (I’m assuming there are at least a few Nathan Barley media types reading this.) The adventures of a 4 ft tall hominid housewife and her marriage to a Cuban band leader would be ratings gold. And as Dr Feelgood notes, there could be a ‘Nights’ version.
Otherwise I’ll be forced to imagine it and I’m not sure my reputation could take another half hour per week giggling in the corner with my eyes closed. People are suspicious enough when I ‘watch’ Han & Lando: the College Years.
