<< The one-man campaign to do away with punctuation, spelling and reason ... >>

Wow.

You cottoned on to that obnoxious pommy bastard and expressed your contempt for him in a sentence.

Good to note, among those whose native-born birth-rate has fallen to 1.3 births per woman, that my own assessment has not fallen on entirely barren ground.

Although I do detect a little tiny-trottered and dull-tusked attempt at pearl-trampling and prophet rending.

Blessings - Brian

I will not even read that, obviously took you all night because I know how well you are educated. Must've worn out your junior dictionary on some of that venom.

We all know who you pretend to be Brian, and you're the typical Walter Mitty, some days a Yank, the next your a steadfast Aussie, then you come across as a supporter of the Jewish State, when pushed your a Kiwi. The truth is that you're an old IRA supporter, an Irishman born and bred, a full blown terrorist supporter pushing an outdated agenda to FR and anybody who'll listen for your Anti-British, sorry Anti-English, cause.

Your a fool and a dangerous fool at that or at the very best an idiot, that's why I'm forwarding your details (remember the MY America Pic - shudder) to HomeLand Security, the MI's, SO, Metro Police Anti Terrorist group and every British Regiment and Active Unit I can find, with your picture and some of your choice comments. If you profess to be who you are you'll run into someone in the Para's or Royal's who'll take offense to your vile comments, your not going to Heaven I guess.

Ta Ta

Yeah I know, I'll be banned but it's worth it.

You just lack talent and ability. It's almost third world sometimes.

,,, congratulations on those two well constructed sentences. You're not really qualified to sit in judgement in regard to anyone's talent and ability. Your opinions on any matters in this forum and on me are as out of whack as your spelling and grammar.

You gotta be Irish too.

If I had an opinion of you you'd be another spud farmer trying to raise sheep. And I think that line drawing of you lacks talent and ability, it shows, trust me.

trust me.

,,, yeah, right.

As it happens, I do hold an Irish passport. You're overestimating the depth of my interest in sheep though. I'm not at all surprised they're on your mind. Thank you for your concise analysis based on a line drawing. I'll treasure it - trust me.

[BRIAN: - PICTURES BEING GANGED UP ON BY MICHAEL CRAWFORD IN SOME MOTHERS DO HAVE 'EM AND IT AIN"T HALF HOT, MUM'S 'GLORIA BEAUMONT' - AND SHUDDERS]

You flatter yourself. I mix with Paras and Royal Marines every day and have for decades. Real Men. [None of whom - or his dog - you would either recognise or even know was up you unless he coughed - or barked]

No doubt its news to you but not all Limeys are envy-motivated, hatred-engined, rage-driven, pathologically-hesperophobic, illegitimate emasculated, feminized, homosexualized, serially-sodomized, illiterate, pack-running, cravenly-cowardly-terrorist-appeasing, bovver-booted habitual drunkards.

Just most of you.

And, on FR, recently, only two.

Not all Limeys, that is, may be counted among those mean-spirited cowards who, within the past century and a half, have been actually represented politically by only Hitler's arse-and-doormat-licker Chamerlain, [Whose only 'crime' was to have read and to represent his electorate] by the lying, looting, thieving, gangster-posing-as-a-politician, Atlee, by Once-FRee-British-Hong-Kong-surrenderer, Saddam-supporter and Hamas financier, Chris Patten - and by the "ira"-appeasing, British-sovereignty-surrendering, Cli'ton-cloned and co-Neo-Axis founder, Eurabian-terrorist-cause-advancing and Christian-Serbia invader, Tiny Blare.

Have a nice day.

Blessings - Brian

Good on yah, shaggs. US Celts rule the world!

My son, who has just become an EU PR, poor fellow, lives in the Europeon Neo-Soviet offshore satellite state they still call 'England." [In which imported folks like him do all the work and create such wealth as momentarily exists before it is immediately confiscated and squandered by the fasciSSocialist state]

He is therefore, of course, even more than usual, in my prayers.

LOL I don't even have to read the comments to do now which freepers will visit this thread to do a spot of Brit Bashing.

I have a feeling that all freepers are actually gossiping women, the type who sit there with pursed lips discussing someone saying oh isn't it bad they have fallen on hard times and lots of mock sympathy while secretly rubbing their hands before settling down into a good old bitch fest while tucking into a jumbo large size gut buster

The Atlantic provinces are a welfare basket case. Voters like being on the government dole and will punish a party that tries to wean them off it. Harper should really cut off the dole to these provinces. Its not going to cost him votes he's never going to win any way and changing the culture is the only way of making the Conservatives truly competitive in the region. Ditto for Canada's largest cities.

Of course he has and of course we do. And [Don't let on to any of FR's froth and foam flecked British bait-takers] I love visiting him, although a bit less this month than last as he just moved up to London, [Islamabad Lite] from Clifton Village, Bristol, one of my favorite spots on the planet. And where his place had a view of Brunel's beautiful bridge - and was an easy drive to Padstow and Rick Stein's place. [AKA 'Padstein'] Which is - after Doyles at Watson's Bay in Sydney - the world's second best fish and chip shop.

Good to see you have bit of a buy British beef you bastards bloviate there, Tony - but what about the meat of Mr Steyn's royal roasting?

We might have a bit of an exchange of frivolities, inanities and insults of a non-injurious nature - but Mr Steyn is as usual on to something wouldn't you say?

And/or haven't you, like the schoolteacher, made Mr Steyn's very point? "For crying out loud, man, get a grip. It puts every job 'in doubt.' It puts the continued existence of your country in doubt.'"

Mr Steyn is observing that Scotland is on track to at some future time achieving independence as North Yemen while the rest of what was once Great Britain is degenerating into being but the stamping grounds for God alone knows who and what.

And you're concerned that a few poo-stirrers made you feel like taking your marbles and going home?

Cheers, Mate - Brian

I wish I was one half the snide bastard that Steyn is. Oh, I've seen you approach 40%, on a really good day ...

The problem is always getting the "snide" and "bastard" parts in synch... ;-)

Guess you summed it, eh, Cobber?

Anyone who upsets an Englishman's pathological denial of the dangerously degenerate state of his country is a Brit-basher or a Canadian lightweight?

OK then, RIP once great britain.

Have you learned Urdu, yet and Arabic? Better soon, I'd reckon. And make sure the kids start it young so they'll be able to understand during koran class at school - and get jobs at the kebabery - 'n stuff like that.

And you'd better get online to www.arabzon.co.uk for the Arabic words to the North Yemen's eunoch community's reminder of the way things used to be:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang sine.

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

How I would love to see some tough love for the folks in the Atlantic provinces. It would make the whole country stronger.
