No Arguments There

By Alex

Thanks to Lachlan. Off the Daily Mail. Who’d have guessed Iris from Northampton would have seen things from this perspective?

I support completely all the people who feel like me. Well done.

Iris, Northampton, UK

I’ve asked Nelson to make a new category for the tireless, pointless little-white-box-addict that’s always on hand to say what everybody is thinking.

    I support anything that I agree with. Wow that’s like saying I’m a massive cunt with no opinion.

    I agree with the next comment.

  3. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:22 pm   All the people who feel like Iris

    Why thank you Iris.

  4. on 05 Jan 2010 at 4:23 pm   All the people who don't feel like Iris

    Well, fuck you then Iris.

    Regarding that geezer that got shot in China, I remember reading an editorial piece in the Mail (I was captive in the snow at my girlfriend’s parents’ place… honest). I’ve just dug it up here.

    Leo comes up with some really hard-hitting lines, for example:

    Unlike China with its firing squads, the only ‘shooting galleries’ we have in Britain are state-run needle exchanges for junkies.

    ZING! Take that drug-dependent folk everywhere!

    He then mentions that the guy was ‘suffering from mental illness at the time of his visit to China’…

    Such excuse-making is absurd. His record of infidelity, sexual harrassment and dubious business conduct suggest he was amoral, selfish, and irresponsible [...] it is telling that his former first wife refused to join the campaign for a reprieve.

    Yes, yes! “Suggest”, “telling”, I hear you Leo, loud and clear – you’ve proven he was a wicked druggles-smuggler, and morally corrupt to boot!

    I can’t really carry on, it’s just too easy and I’m supposed to be working, but I’ve been sat on this since just after Christmas…

    From the comments to the Mail article (which is all halcyon days of the 50s when we could kill mentally ill people without the PC BRIGADE getting all up in arms, PS Akhmal Shaikh was a darky, so not really British):

    According to China’s law, everyone who bring 4kg of heroin should be sentenced to death.

    No matter it’s Chinese or Foreigners.

    I cant understand why Times, Sky news, etc criticized China on this so obvious issue.

    Chinese government is busy. They don’t have time and energy to revenge British because of “Opium War” in 1840. British media attach too much importance on themselves.

    Someone may argue Akmal Shaikh suffered mental problem. How stupid excuse it is! I am so proud of Chinese government get rid of ridiculous Interference from UK government. What Chinese government is ONLY to protect its people!!! (from evil drug trade)

    How do you think your children are sold heroin in street???

    All in all, it’s a simple story. Someone has broken the law, bring 4kilo heroin !!!(how evil it is!)

    UK media, when can you report news without bias???

    Why do I find it hard to believe that this poster’s name is really Natalie, and that she does indeed live in Leeds, England?

    I work all day with Chinese and other assorted Far East suppliers, and I barely flinched reading that, I’m so used to their syntax writing in English.

    The name’s another issue though. Our suppliers all like to take Western names to make dealing with us a little easier (perfectly logical), however, they tend to choose fairly odd names. I’ve just sent an email to Demi Wang; I shit you not gentlemen.

    From the “What Buildings Inspire You ?” thread:

    The only inspiration I draw from that building, is to never visit Dubai. Like the rest of that place, it’s a ghastly and tasteless icon to new money. I’ll leave it to the footballers, the so called ‘celebs’ and the rest of the clueless bling classes thanks very much – give me an English cottage any day.

    For the above, read, “I can’t afford to go there”.

    Aside from the obvious, there’s no mention of the BNP.

    Shackleton you bastard, I’m so bored I just read that article. And some of the comments. I liked this one:

    Well said Leo. Why is it people like Leo, never go into politics? Why is it only lily livered liberals that go into politics?

    - polly, england

    Could it be, dear Polly, that people like Leo are, without exception, cunts?

    How musical. Is there, I wonder, a half-sized Semi Demi Wang?

    I’m gonna call you, go all in and lay Zombi Ho on the table. I promise you this is not someone I just googled; I deal with her on a regular basis.

    Zombi Ho

    Supply and demand, I guess.

    OK – I don’t know her.

    Nobody does.

    But I have met an Indian billionaire called Anurag Dikshit.

    At Uni a mate of mine invented a flat mate called Wang Dong. We would fuck the flat up and steal food, then blame it on poor old Wang. His daft flat mates still believe that Wang Dong really exists.
    Looking back at it, that seems a bit racist. But as my particular shade of skin is superior to all others, I don’t care.

    Fanny Wang has had a few interesting articles written about her:

    I was at uni with a Chinese qbloke who called himself Ivan Ho.

    And since we’ve degenerated into ‘foreigners and their funny names’, how about the ANC’s legendary Tokyo Sexwale?

    Oh, bawbag, bless you.

    Probably bends over backwards and everything.

    Speaking of which, one of the people who does the live text cricket commentary on the Beeb goes by the unfortunate monicker of Ben Dirs.

    Thanks mate, but when we bury turds when we’re out tramping, we generally don’t want them served back up to us two days later.

    During a particularly soulless stint as a temp, I once sent a letter to a Mr Silke Kuntz…

    Sorry, but:

    “Fanny Wang at Johnson Stokes & Master is applauded by clients”.

    Does anyone know what she feels like? If she feels o.k. I wouldn’t mind supporting someone who feels like her.

    I know a Fannie, and I’ve a (Korean I think) acquaintance called Winky. My thinking is: there is no possible combination of sounds that doesn’t mean genitals in some language. Somewhere in the jungles of South America, there’s probably a guy asking his missus if he might slip his winston into her churchill.
