What the world needs now is caffeinated beer.

Via leadgend. Lincraft has gone into receivership.

Being clever with Lego™.

Monkeys will pay to see monkey porn. Does this fall into the category of yes we are primates or scientists are sick and twisted?

Amidst all the perceptive ideas I've ever heard you express, that is quite probably the wisest and most insightful =)

But I do have one question... is there a version with Guarana? =)

Guarana is basically just caffiene anyway. Its got a bunch of slightly different to caffiene but work chemically on humans the same way caffienoid alkaloids.

I note that the blather written about French waiters was by an Englishman.

Well, of course they didn't serve him.

By the way, at every turn, the service we encountered in France was swift, cheerful, polite and unfailingly friendly. A vile canard has been told about the French for far too long, as far as I'm concerned.

Service in England - as opposed to Scotland, Wales (and an honourable mention for Cornwall) - was usually sullen, slow and frequently incompetent. Oh, and apparently we colonials always steal things, because we're convicts HAWHAWHAWHAWHAWjerkoffs.

You do bitter and twisted awfully well :)

Maybe it is just the Ausralian thing. You know, thousands of Australians died defending la Belle France in WWI therefore ...

As distinct from colonial riff-raff.

(Speaking of which, I notice Lynton Crosby is putting the wind up them something chronic. More colonial scapegoating methinks. On the other hand, Mark Steyn would say he has severely traded down in his Howards.)

Definately hold the Frogs in high estimation. Their cheeses, Lorenzo, their cheeses....

It's just a shame that the only naval success they've enjoyed since they got flogged at Trafalgar came from sinking an unarmed trawler in a friendly port.

And it's always easy to shut a Brit up - the word "cricket" seems to do it.

Mark Steyn would be right - the Brits don't have the best example of the Howard Hive Mind working for them...

....Zoltar Howard on the Mother Ship will be displeased.

*giggle*

The Americans have this theory that the French only win when the Americans play on their side. That, apart from a few colonial adventures, it happen's to be true is, of course, even more offensive.

Mind you, an Anglophile friend is found of pointing out that the Americans spent decades screaming at Mother England to save them from the French and, when Mother had done so, screamed at them over any suggestion they might pay for it. (A bit adolescent perhaps.)

It is interesting to consider what might have happened if the Brits had decided to either have the colonials elect members to the Commons or set up a local Privy Council (a la The Two Georges). The Bourbons don't bankrupt themselves funding the American Revolution. Which non-example doesn't inspire the French Revolution. The world could have been a very different place ( ... )

OK, that's pretty clever lego work.

But for me, I still think that the cleverest Lego work is The Brick Testament.

"You can tell it is a by a left thinker, for it completely avoids a fundamental dynamic in the evolution of the left - that socialism doesn’t work."

Hehe. That's the sort of thing that's blindingly obvious to everyone else, yet something they still don't get.
