Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Right. Let's do this again:


Turns out Five Guys Burgers and Fries opened near me yesterday not next week.

You should try Five Brothers. I hear they're good.

So a survey turns up in my inbox from a company that I recognise; wtf it turns out to be about you perceptions of Australia  :hmm:

Q. What sports to you think the average Australian participates in:

A. Netball

Q. For how many hours do you think they exercise:

A. Nothing at All.

Q. In your opinion, which one of these best sums up a typical Aussie
A. None of the above

These are all multi-choice questions, so it's making my trolling that much harder.   :bowler:

Q Do you agree or disagree that the average Aussie man is fitter and healthier than the average Englishman?
A.Don't know

Even I had difficulty trolling the next one:
Q, Do you agree or disagree that the average Aussie woman is fitter and healthier than the average English woman?
A.    Disagree

Wedding shock for bride

A boozed up groom, 27, was caught having sex with a waitress in the kitchen at his wedding reception just hours after tying the knot in Feldkirch, Austria.

The groom was caught by the father of the bride when he went looking for him in the kitchen.

After seeing what the young man was doing he stopped the party, and told all the guests to go home.

The bride now wants a quick divorce - but has been told she will have to wait six months under Austrian law.

Central Southern England is rather wet and windy at the moment, the upside is I had the 6-7 miles of Bournemouth beachfront almost entirely to myself, wheras usually at this time of year it would be impassible filled with partying students. 
This evening, just me, the sand, the wind and the crashing waves.    :cool:

Seems right up Malthus alley.

QuoteWho in their right mind would pay $450 for a pizza? "A very rich person," Nader Hatami, owner of the Steveston Pizza Company tells The Province.

The Vancouver eatery has already sold one of the $450 pies and seven other orders for a $120 version. "I never thought I'd sell so many," Hatami said.

So what exactly do you get on a $450 pizza? Specifically, the high-end meal known as the "C6" comes topped with a thermidor of lobster and black Alaska cod and a side of Russian osetra caviar.
