Thanks to Mark for this one.

Sometimes, its hard to make sense of world events. What chance of impartial analysis when the same bunch of red-faced gout-sufferers own the government, the supermarkets and the newspapers? How do you know that the uncle of the proprietor of the rag you’re reading isn’t the brother-in-law of the woman who just bought Klumpyschitz Logistics GmbH from Herr Wotsisface for thrumpty million Peruvian florins?

So, now we hear that Cadbobbly is being bought by Kraftycheeses, what effect is this going to have on you? Where do you turn for insight and analysis? That’s right, you turn to the web-gnomes of Have Your Say.

Is the Cadbury deal sweet enough?

This COULD explain why a compaint I made about finding a “foreign body” in a tin of Cadburys Hot Chocolate was not taken up by North Lanark`s Environmental Health nor any reply received to the photos I sent by e-mail to Cadbury just the other day ?

Obviously North Lanark Council bowed to pressure put on them not to cause any trouble during negotians and Cadbury have been too busy with other things to reply , maybe just leave it to Kraft ?
[tomfer]

Yeah, give em a chance. Things are pretty mental this week. Poor Mr. Cadbury’s been desperately negotiating TUPE shit with the Oompa-Loompas and trying to find someone to feed the Cadbury’s Creme Hens. He’s barely had time to stir the chocolate machine, let alone open his post.

    To be fair, the “foreign bodies” he found in his hot chocolate were the corpses of several American shareholders of Kraft who went mysteriously missing on a trip to Bournville. Only [tomfer] knows the truth, and he’s desperately fighting an international conspiracy of chocolatiers to get it to the people.

    Little does he know this one goes all the way to the top… of the North Lanark Council Environmental Health Department.

    Oh, but who says Have Your Say is just a useless forum for venting racist flatulence onto. Sometimes, it GETS THE JOB DONE:

    BTW Beeb , thanks , I don`t know if it WAS you that finally motivated my Council to finally clear at least ONE lot of overdue bins in my area , but they have , so again thanks for the coverage of the situation .

    Fearless journalism at Auntie, getting to the very heart of the Military-Industrial-Binman complex.

    Or maybe the customer service blods at Cadbury’s just laughed their arses off at the blurred picture of a lump of slightly congealed cocoa from the bottom of the tin, before throwing Tomfer’s letter in the bin.

    No, he’s completely right… a global conspiracy is far more likely.

    Maybe he’s refering to “THE KRAFT”. See, it’s those freemason fuckers and the NEW wORLD oDOUR!!! OH. i seem to have done a wee.

  6. on 22 Jan 2010 at 11:42 am Pedro

    Maybe part of his problem is that its called “North Lanarkshire Council”, and not “North Lanark Council”. I think “tomfer” has bigger issues to deal with if he doesn’t even know the name of the public body to forward all his chocolate-related grievances to.

    I bet Cadbury also put pressure on his council to stop gritting his street because he was such a whiney douchebag.

  7. on 22 Jan 2010 at 11:43 am That Bloke in the Corner

    His complaint was probably ignored as pictures of decapitated cream eggs with someones jizz spurted into it, do not actually constitute a ‘foreign body’ find, now if he found Bin Laden hiding in there, that would be another story.

  8. on 22 Jan 2010 at 11:53 am Oaf

    Bin Laden prefers Terry’s chocolate so it’s unlikely you will find him in a Cadbury’s Creme Egg (why can’t they spell cream properly?).

  9. on 22 Jan 2010 at 11:54 am Fish

    @ Oaf – perhaps because it’s not your actual cream per se? They’re probably not allowed under the trade descriptions act or somesuch…

    Anyway it’s nice to find a moomin who is convinced that their local council have it in for them – makes a refreshing change from the usual breath-taking incompetence

  12. on 22 Jan 2010 at 12:01 pm Tomasz

    Pedro, perhaps you don’t realise this, but everyone in NORTH LANARKSHIRE calls the council ‘North Lanark Council’. Or ‘the twats’ for short. Maybe if you like it so much there (North LANARK) you should go live there?

    Also, there was a slightly sweet smell from some of the grit I noticed in NORTH LANARK in the last month, so I would not be surprised if Cadburys had a hand in there somewhere…

    Please think about what you’re saying before you post here Pedro, this site depends on the accuracy of the commenters.

    Gracias.

    “…everyone in NORTH LANARKSHIRE calls the council ‘North Lanark Council’.”

    I didn’t know that. Why do they do that? All of Lanark (including the northern part) is in South Lanarkshire, so it makes no sense.

    I don’t trust people from North Lanarkshire.

    I understand his frustration.

    Have you ever had a dream in which you’re dreaming you’re having a wet dream, but then you wake up and you’re in the library and you’ve pissed yourself again?

    He wrote to the council about it but nobody cared.

  22. on 22 Jan 2010 at 12:49 pm Tomasz

    @Chris

    I’ve never had THAT dream, but I did have one where I had some important work to do but kept on getting distracted by this site.

    In the dream, I kept telling myself (and everyone else): “I’ll have it done in like 6 weeks…” but…. I dunno, it just never seemed to come together. (this was a long dream btw) Then suddenly I woke up and discovered that I was actually a disgruntled submariner from Port Glasgow. SHIT! Then I woke up again and realised that I should probably stop wanking in the library – in case my narcolepsy kicks in.

    I was going to give Chris the typical congratulatory tea snorting reference, but Ceannair just beat me to it.

    Also, I’m sorry to keep spamming the thread with [tomfer]‘s past posts*, but this one popped up and… well:

    How can children be protected online?

    The “kids” CHOOSE to be online on whatever sites they are on ,they are not FORCED to be on these sites and to be honest ,most “kids” are nothing but a nuisance on most sites ,particularly open forums ,where sensible conversation can be made impossible by their presence and “contributions”.

    So that’s why there’s no sensible conversation on HYS, eh? Who’d have thought it?

    * Not actually sorry.

    He is a proper hornet’s hamburger, methinks. And far too old to be using “lol” as much as he does.

    As If-you-like-its are in vogue at the moment, here’s one from tomfer just last week.

    Should Islam4UK be banned?
    Most definitely YES , without a shadow of a doubt , this country has been for many ,many ,many years ,basically a Christian country ,which really does not require the “input” of groups such as this , whose members should think about why they are in this country in the first place , there are a number of Muslim countries/states in the world , which might be better suited to them ,particularly as they are neither needed nor wanted here.

    And just before that he went Godwin twice on the subject of packed lunches.

  26. on 22 Jan 2010 at 1:30 pm Lurker in a Burka

    tomfer’s attitude to child protection on-line can be carried easily enough in to the real world.

    “No-one forced him to get in to the back of the van to look at my puppies your honour. And to be honest once he was there he was a bit of a nuisance until the chloroform kicked in.”

  28. on 22 Jan 2010 at 2:40 pm gareth

    Some classic Adair from that thread…

    Richard Madeley states he cannot remember the last time he saw a woman wearing a burka in England. He obviously does not live in Bradford or Oldham, which is the problem with all our policy makers, they are out of touch with the common folk of this country and the problems we face.

    Did I miss something? I didn’t realise Richard Madeley had direct input into Government policy?

  29. on 22 Jan 2010 at 2:46 pm Schroduck

    To be (slightly) fair (I swear it won’t happen again!) burka is taken from Arabic. Most of the spellings there (burkha, burqa, burqua, burkah) are perfectly valid alternative transliterations. Berker is just stupid though.

    B)Haiti –What is the long-term involvement in the United Kingdom in Haiti

    C)Tories and the tax benefits to married people.

    D)The Burka and what is the U.K. going to do what the French (r) going to do and proposed to banned it.

    I think the original post should be filed under Delusions Of Grandeur, by the way, as [tomfer] really does seem to believe that his bogey in the bottom of his cocoa tin could have potentially scuppered the corporate ambitions of Kraft.

    There’s some quality spelling in that thread. No-one’s quite managed the holy trinity of spelling errors that make up “burkers should be band in this cuntery”, but there’ve been some mighty close calls…

  50. on 22 Jan 2010 at 6:54 pm Cora

    If it is OK to wear the Burka in public then it must be ok for all of us non Burka wearers to wear balaclavas in public. If this is not ok, then the Burka cannot be ok because it is discriminatory on religious grounds. So, GB Government, do you allow us all to wear balaclavas in public and allow Burkas in public, or do you say no balaclavas and Burkas in public? Your call Gordon!

    I’d like to combine [tomfer]‘s tossery with the opposing view, if I may. This is what tomfer thinks is the cause of the downfall of society. I’ve highlighted the parts that made me soil myself laughing:

    How should families be supported?

    Simply by returning to old values and ways ! This “government” has been at the head of the destruction of “the family”, with it`s divisive laws and policies , pitting family members against each other and trying to exert control over every facet of life , turning life from an enjoyable adventure shared by a family , into a miserable scrabble for existance where they have complete control by causing disunity among families and neighbourhoods , with PC claptrap.

    Yes, I remember when the Running Man Act 2006 came into force, and I was forced to bareknuckle box my dad in a ring composed of giant spikes and razor wire. Terrible day, it was, but I did win, even if they faked the other result to keep the masses down and I then had to run through a gritty sub-city to escape the men who were enlisted to ensure that justice was finally served by my death. I mean, that’s the end result of this Labour government.

    And here’s That would be telling, who gives us a fucking brilliant reason why government policies are working – they stop people like That would be telling breeding. Although I’m thinking the godawful smell, semi-retardation and complete and utter lack of any personality do the job just as well.

    How should families be supported?

    Why can’t they support single people so we can afford to have families?
    I’m fed up being bled dry to support other peoples families when i can’t afford to start my own.

  56. on 23 Jan 2010 at 12:49 am Cab Grunter

    I found a Muslim in my cocoa and Kraft had it sent to Guantanamo Bay. I really don’t see the issue here.

    From the ‘One toe on my pathway and you’re dead darkie’ thread:

    “Added: Friday, 22 January, 2010, 22:38 GMT 22:38 UK
    What dis-appoints me is the number of people who want to opt out of a REAL decision by politicians -who have allowed the law to slip to the ludicrous position – that everyone has a right to defend themselves in whatever way is appropriate. None of this rubbish about various levels of re-action. If anyone enters your “space” without your permission eg. your house , you kill him if need be. NO ifs or buts. Otherwise one gets sued for brain-damege.and allowing the person to commit credit ard fraud.

    Another from the Question Time topic:

    The issue of Cadbury’s boils down to the shambolic state of the Companies Act and the way shares are bought and sold. The Act needs to be rewritten ( not by lawyers or policitians) and the new act must ensure new shareholders and the Company seeking to take over do not have a vote.

    PJW Holland, London

    Yep, the idea of politicians or lawyers drafting our laws disgusts me. The question is, who should rewrite it, PJW? Children’s TV presenters? The PC Brigade? Or how about a panel of HYSers? The spelling would be interesting if nothing else.

    If they love Cadburys so much, why don’t they go live there?

    We do. But now the forrins are coming over and literally taking all our jobs, while simultaneously claiming all the benefits they can. FACT.

    YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT UP.

    ‘A Very Dirty Business’. This is a very amusing title. Surely Cugar is a Dr Terrible’s House of Horrible tribute act.

    You may well mock but it got two five-star reviews on Amazon,soitmust actually be really, really good.

    Amazon’s T&Cs state “You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any content.” Just sayin’.

    Our production department have noticed that a small number of copies of the previous submission may have failed to contain the requisite number of spaces between some words due to a defective space-bar in one of out factories.

    If affected please telephone our customer services who will be happy to place you on hold for a minimum of thirty minutes before insisting that it’s your computer at fault.

    Mal, looks like the “r” key may be a bit dodgy too…

    Saw this as part of Cuger’s amazon review.

    3 of 14 people found the following review helpful:
    5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Dirty Business.

    Do you think the other 11 people were looking for some specalist porn.

    The Amazon review saying “Really scary and prophetic” is pretty similar, but at least spelt correctly this time….

    It is published by “PublishAmerica” as far as I can tell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PublishAmerica so I’m not sure how much of an acheivement that isbn is….

    The other review describes it as an “exiting read”. Does that involve evacuating yourself thereby creating your own little “dirty bomb”?

    As of 2004[update], the current executive director of PublishAmerica was Miranda N. Prather,[1] In 2004, Prather stated that 80% of authors who submitted manuscripts to the house were rejected..

    80% weren’t as good as the Cugester. I’d love to read those (or at least bits).

    Atlanta Nights sounds especially promising. It wasn’t rejected.

    The big three spellings, recommended by a staggering 13 people. 13 people read that and thought it was a measured and accurate response, to the extent that they would actively recommend it.

    but then they did publish the manuscript that consisted of the same 30 pages repeated ten times….

    Couldnt Bragger Cunt manage more than 48 pages?

    Near miss there, Sara. If only you’d have left that ‘o’ out of ‘countery’ you’d have won the prize.

    But oddly enough, she spelled “consequences” correctly. Do you think she managed to spell “dictionary” well enough for Google to suggest where she should be going?
