That, sir, is a low and disgusting stereotype! There are plenty of good looking women in Ukraine.

I totally agree with the Red mouse. Low and disgusting! There are plenty of good looking women in the Ukraine. I've seen them in issues of Special Order Ukraine Bride monthly.

It was an excellent idea to share that, dude. Now any one of us will be able to assist the ER staff in identifying the object lodged in your rectum after your wife puts it there. [:D]

[Chickenboy]

With all due respect, Onime-I should hope you're not familiar with the presentation of my rectum under any circumstances, particularly as a means of recognition of my corpse. That suggests a certain familiarity with my back side that I'm not willing to grant you. No offense-I'm sure you're a nice guy and all, but still.

People claim it was the old Laudanum that 'influenced' the Lakeland poets but I think it was a good, hearty dose of Kendal mint cake. I bet Coleridge had munched about 10 bars when he wrote 'Kubla Khan.' All that sugar must do do something funny to you.

The local scrumpy probably had something to do with it. STC wrote his best poetry, including Rime and KK, whilst living at Nether Stowey, here in Somerset.

I call "deliberate misunderstanding"! I was clearly talking about the object in it. [:D]

Nope. They're oblivious to it.

Speaking of ned idiots, I was at Edinburgh zoo with the GF years ago and we were at the Tiger enclosure, a beautiful big cat with eyes full of true intelligence was within, regarding the humans on the other side of the glass wall with something like utter disdain and it wasn't hard to see why. There was a full ned family: dad, mum, two kids all wrapped up in kappa tracksuits and nikes. Dad ned was banging away on the glass, regardless of the huge signs all over the place asking him to refrain from doing just that as it upsets the animals. After a minute or two he turns to me and says "This Lion's pure crap, by ra way. it wilnae bark or anything." [:(]

I hate zoos. The wrong creatures are always locked up in them.

<recalls in horror at the thought that >50% of Americans have Scotch/Irish backgrounds>

Actually, immigration explains that seeming conundrum, Cap:

Most of the smart ones got the hell out of Scotland and Ireland ASAP and came to America.

The dumb ones stayed behind.

A few hundred years later, after several more generations of inbreeding among what's left, you get these whitebread Hip-Hop moron wannabees pictured in the video.

"Devolution" at work!

It's a classic example of natural selection and population genetics in action.

Yes, but I have to warn you a lot of it's written in the Cumbrian dialect and might be hard for non-English speakers to read.

What about Americans? [:D]

Hey, we a country of "non-English speakers," too!

Just go to my local supermarket and ask for a price check!

Hey! [:@] Some of us are still here! I can almost count to five and have never hardly stabbed anyone.

Neds are a bit of local colour, like the Amish or something. With less barn building. And more Buckfast.

Any more of this viscous slander and King Sean the first will authorize a new Susan Boyle album. You all heard what she did to 'Wild Horses,' Just think what she could do to ZZ Top.

Dammit, dude! Dont do that while I'm drinking coffee. You owe me a new keyboard. And its a Mac, so you'd better start saving. [:D]

It is possible that she already has a beard. Funny thing is Boyle is my mother's maiden name.*


*I don't want any of you ned's breaking into my bank account either.

[Chickenboy]

This is very interesting, Cap'n. What's your childhood's best friend name? Your first pet? (jots down notes)

ETA: Although it might have been interesting had you a hyphenated name like Boyle-Mandrake. "Boil Mandrake? Hmmm...that's not a bad idea..."

Aaaaah! Your remark about growing up in Boyle Heights from a while back is starting to make sense now. [:D]

We are up to July 30th....quiet except for China. Effective ASW acitivity off Perth and Sydney. It looks like the TK's that escaped death in the Indian Ocean will reach Perth.


It looks like Eagle Day in China. The Little Yellow Bastards are darkening the sky with their small frames.

A Ghurka Regiment is down for the count after they tried to make a bouillabaisse out of Parchisi sets.

The doctors are getting murderized with influenza out here in California. I think it peaked about a week ago. Thing is the CDC got it right this year and the vaccine has very good coverage. Now all the people who declined the vaccine because they "never get sick" are coming in whining for antibiotics. If one more idiot asks for a "Z-pack"...why I....will do nothing...and smile patiently because nobody wants to hear "I told you so". Fortunatley, Tamiflu works pretty well.


This year the vaccine sounds like a Wee Jap Dobber attack plan for OZ (H1N1/ A Brisbane / B Perth). It also occurs to me that WAAAAY too many influenza strains are named after Australian cities. You people down there need to wash your hands better. In fairness, the H1N1 strain is called California H1N1 even though everybody knows it came from Mexico. It seems there is political correctness even in virology.

No doubt its some of the same morons who are incensed about the theoretical exposure to antibiotic resistant pathogens from animals treated with antibiotics to control disease.

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din-I'd nod my head, smile patiently and tell 'em to get stuffed. Or direct them to some homeopathic remedy with 'water memory' of the agent in question to treat. [:@]

Sorry, rant over.

Emerging Infectious Diseases (vol. 17, No. 2, Feb. 2011, pp. 255-257) had a breakdown on upwards of 1000 isolates of pH1N1 from humans last year. >99% of the viral isolates were susceptible to Oseltamivir. Better living through chemistry, mate.

Now, can you claim time on this forum for CE? [;)]
