Hypocrites and Shit Sherlocks and Tax Bores31 Aug 2009 01:00 pm

There’s a thread up on “What are your plans for the Bank Holiday?” I can’t work out if these are intended as a test to see who can get angriest about spending a pleasant summer’s day away from work, as light relief from the weighty issues of contemporary politics or as a test to see who can get angriest at the very concept of light relief from politics (hint: it’s Topsy Turvy). Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot of smug shite like this:

Probably get my tax return form out and try and work out what I’ll be left with after the government has skinned me.

[unclegrumpy]

Fair enough. Whatever makes you unhappy.

And this:

I will be spending the holiday cleaning out the moat, painting the duckhouse and cutting back the wisteria.

Are you still on MPs’ expenses? Listen, if you’re getting low on material, maybe try clicking on the BBC News Front Page every couple of months instead of going straight to Have Your Say. Then maybe people will start talking to you again.

“This topic will start the usual miserable moaners off who will say that they are not going anywhere because :- 1) …..”
“Having had my say, I will not read any more of this topic until I come back – I’m going away for the weekend, and I’m not telling you where.”

Ron Anderson

Do you see what you’re doing here Ron?? You’re moaning about the moaners. That is even worse!

Glen Thomas

Haha! You’re right Glen! That’s exactly what he’s doing. I tell you what else though: read through your own post again and you’ll get a rather amusing surprise.

    “I’m going away for the weekend, and I’m not telling you where”. Either this was the kid that used to grab the ball in the middle of football down the park and storm off, or ‘going away for the weekend’ means staying in his room alternately masturbating and bursting into tears. Or both.

    I’ll spend the time writing a complaint letter to the BBC to accuse them of posting inane HYS topics while the UK is in crisis and our democracy is at its lowest ebb.

    Edward James, Southport

    Because of course if the BBC posted sensible HYS topics we could solve all those problems, couldn’t we? Democracy could be relaunched on the back of a thread on How soon should we leave the EU, and the crisis would soon be over with a thread on Where shall we send all those immigrunts who happen to have been born here?.

    My engineering company is working a normal day, all staff no exceptions.We have vital export orders to get ready and no delays are allowed.Perhaps if the Govt and the unions thought less about shirking and more about working we would have been out of this recession already like our european competitors. As always we show ourselves to be the lazy man of Europe.The French and Germans I have spoken to this week are laughing at us taking time off.Abolish Bank Holidays now, they are an anachronism.

    pieter van der byl, Rhodesia, United Kingdom

    A man after the Establishments heart. If we ban bank holidays, in fact all holidays and work 365 days a year until we drop, employers would be able to pay us less wages because the would be no time to spend the excess money.
    Better still, ban homes and open workhouses where we can get a couple of hours sleep on a straw mat before starting all over again.

    Some people still think life is for living, not making the corperate elite richer. We are just wage slaves to the corperate elite and do not forget it.

    What you’ve failed to notice here is that “cleaning out the moat”, “painting the duckhouse” and “cutting back the wisteria” are all euphemisms for unsavoury sexual practices. It wasn’t half-witted satire, it was half-witted boasting.

    You also missed Ron’s response to Glen:

    You might have a point, but if you think that’s moaning – you havn’t met my wife.

    ZING!

    B. King’s post really is the best:

    So, what ratio would be “moderated out of existence? One in a thousand being published? Let’s be generous and say one in a hundred. And you have had how many published? Let’s see: according to your profile that would be 132, and all of them bollocks. So about 132,000 moderated.

    A real gem in terms of cold cuntardishness-

    Once again plans to travel south of Bristol are ruined by the police action to close the M5 for 6 hours because someone decides they want to jump off the Avon bridge, was there really a need to do this as he was jumping into the river not onto the motorway a one lane closure and some screens would have sufficed but no the opportunity to

    From the Afgan thread

    Yes, they should. Then Britain can leave and let them inevitably fight amongst themselves as we all know is going to happen.

    I read in the Times recently about Afghan forces that turned on their British allies over a shooting of a girl (which wasn’t proven) while Taliban agitated a mob.

    How can we justify staying in such an environment, when those we consider our allies turn on us. Only ONE afghan soldier remained “loyal”,

    We need to leave Afghanistan NOW.

    Bloody Afghans, you cant even shoot their young daughters without them getting upset, the ungreatful scum.

    I’m feeling a bit cold at the moment. Whoever is near the thermostat, please turn it up a couple of degrees.

    Thanks.

    Two facts:

    1 Mercury – extremely poisonous

    2 World Population (est)
    1960: 2,982 million
    2008: 6,707 million

    Given the facts that mercury is one of the most dangerous substances and that we are overpopulated, may I suggest that the “powers-that-be” are trying to cut down the population by making us use bulbs that can poison us if they break?!?!

    Oh, and yes, I have stockpiled lots of lovely light bulbs that I can actually read by!

    I await a visit from the thought police…..

    Classic HYS. Eschews a minor change in lifestyle in favour of culling other human beings, claims it is all a conspiracy by the “powers-that-be”, and finishes with an Orwell reference. I give Sue 9.5 out of 10.

    @ handwringing liberal

    I give Sue 9.5 out of 10.

    This is clearly not 9.5 standard. Statistics have been provided which are reasonably accurate, punctuation has used (although multiple ! and ? does get some bonus credit) and the spelling & grammar is consistent with the generally accepted version of the English (not British) language. In addition, she has not SHOUTED or suggested that anyone goes back to where they came from.

    No, I think that this is only a 6 out of 10 at best.

    Must try harder, Sue, must try harder.

    Sue Hudson, London

    Fuck me, she’d actually have to have something approximating a thought before that could happen.

    I sometimes don’t believe that people like Sue Hudson exist or are serious when they say stuff like this. But then I weigh up the probability of Sue Hudson being real or HYS being a lol-fest of irony, and suddenly… well, I’m a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I’m in hell. I’m a believer, and I think I just ran out of rhymes.

    AND JUST LIKE THAT, HE’S BACK!

    Ik houd van mijn weekend net zoals het is. U bent dom pussies fret! Heb je niet iets beters te doen dan dit vertalen?

  89. on 03 Sep 2009 at 9:02 pm wind millie

    Ik hoef het niet te vertalen, het gaat rechtstreeks van mijn hersens naar de website.

    En het is “ik hou van mijn weekend” en “Jullie zijn domme kutten!”

    Domme kut!

  90. on 04 Sep 2009 at 2:36 am Ed van Nearly Adair

    ‘t klopt dat ‘t “jullie” is, MAAR houd = verleden.

    En hebben vertalen nodig is voor knakerhoeren.

    ps A pic of the zombies is this week’s BBC News Magazine Monitor Caption Competition.

    houd = verleden

    Ummm, nee. Dan zou ‘t “Ik hield van mijn weekend net zoals het was” moeten zijn.

    Knakerhoer.

    That’s “kanker”. Houdkop.

    (And yes, I know it was me who put in “knaker”, and that it’s “hout” – I’m being self-referential at this point)

    Further tech note, probably doesn’t add anything to the previous one: when posting to this, the “success” redirect goes to a URL like this: http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/2009/08/31/so-er-you-guys-doing-anything-this-weekend/%&evalbase64_decode_SERVERHTTP_REFERER.+&%/comment-page-2/#comment-144009

    I did wonder what kind of whore a ‘knaker’ one might be. Better than cancer, I’m sure.

    Speaking of which, came across this useful site (for all secret Daily Mail-reading SYBers out there).
