Wallison has knowledge of Gideon's genitals.

Filth.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 16:41

"Maybe he was crying because a poor person had touched him and he'd run out of antibacterial gel."

This is more like it Grin

HorryIsUpduffed · 18/04/2013 16:41

There is a BBC article about this online that spectacularly misses the point.

People aren't angry that Osborne cried; they're angry that he doesn't when much sadder things are happening. The version I've seen on FB and Twitter is juxtaposed against the photo of his smirking when announcing budget cuts that he knows will make vulnerable poorer.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 16:46

Don't worry, Horry. We are definitely going to see him crying a lot soon, when the breakdown happens Wink

Marmalade, if someone started a thread saying 'haha look at Robert Mugabe crying, look at his funny face, how come he's called Robert anyway' I would say the same thing that I've said here - what puerile things to focus on.

Obviously nine pages of people disagree though, so go for your life.

Scrubber · 18/04/2013 17:20

I didn't watch the funeral, didn't want to be sick. Vile, the lot of them. Now can we forget about it all now? I don't think I can bear hearing any more fawning bastards go on about how fucking wonderful she was and how anyone who says otherwise is insensitive to her poor fuckwit children.

Dawndonna · 18/04/2013 17:21

Just occasionally it does people good to be puerile. Particularly when those of us being targetted by Osbourn's cuts are doing so.
Better that than taking to the streets, surely?
Anyway, do grow up, ffs, we're all adults, this is like a pub conversation, if you don't like it, sit elsewhere.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 17:23

What's wrong with being puerile? You keep bandying it about like it's an insult. I don't get it. Is it a requisite of life that you must be at your most mature at ALL TIMES?

LaVolcan · 18/04/2013 17:25

No dawndonna - we should be taking to the streets. What is happening to the sick and disabled angers me. Sadly, unlike the poll tax riots, they are too busy trying to get through the next day to have the energy to do so.

Dawndonna · 18/04/2013 17:28

LaVolcan I would take to the streets but this bastard government took away dh's respite care. His nurse retired last month and hasn't been replaced yet. His physio has stopped because of cutbacks to the service. As you've said, I don't have the time or the fucking energy to be on the streets, but by god when some Tory arsehole knocks on my door asking for my vote in the forthcoming elections, they are going to suffer!

adeucalione you almost had me with the Osborne thing. It was a funeral, after all.

But Mugabe? You'll be asking us to stop ridiculing that gorgeous hunk of lustmeat Vladimir Putin next.

Dawndonna · 18/04/2013 17:29

You know, when I became a lecturer, I didn't imagine that I'd have to learn, in the future, how to adminster medications safely, how to take a pusle, how to watch respiration. Bastards!

EldritchCleavage · 18/04/2013 17:40

Actually, a friend of mine genuinely thinks Putin is a gorgeous hunk of lustmeat. She's got a thing for dictators, rather shamefacedly.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 17:46

Come to think of it, why wasn't Putin at the funeral? People whined enough that Obama didn't attend.

Apparently Berlusconi angled in vain for an invitation. The idea of him inviting Mark's daughter to a bunga-bunga party almost made me feel sorry for Mark and Carol.

eldritch Your friend has isshoos. I expect you know that.

Wallison · 18/04/2013 18:00

^her poor fuckwit children

In the interests of accuracy, I feel I should point out that that should read "poor fuckwit racist gun-running children".

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 18:04

Sorry to keep going on about Putin. I obviously have isshoos too.

But he's a conviction politician too and you certainly know where you stand with him.

CallOfTheRiled · 18/04/2013 18:07

This is a truly, truly horrible thread. You berate him for his lack of feelings, his lack of kindness, , but then write this? Really?

EldritchCleavage · 18/04/2013 18:09

She does make me laugh limited. She wafts around giggling saying things like 'Ooh, he's so masterful of all the dictator/criminal turdbrains she fancies (e.g. Asil Nadir, I kid you not). In real life she's completely IN CHARGE and her husband toes the line, so I suppose having someone else be boss is a fantasy of her. But still, issues, yes.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 18:13

Carol did look a little bewildered on the steps, didn't she? And her tights were falling down. Is it wrong of me to say that? Probably.

I was quite impressed that it appeared she'd pulled Marco Pierre White at her own mother's funeral but apparently not. Her boyfriend is a Marco lookalike. Still quite impressed. Marco was there too.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 18:16

Yes, we are berating him for having no feelings about ruining the lives of thousands yet apparently having "feelings" for someone he met once. Because the cameras were on him.

I think that is the long and short of it.

Marco Grass looks like a homeless dipso.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2013 18:16

I might have been with her with Asil at the height of Polly Peck but I saw him being interviewed about six months ago and he's lost a lot of hair and what's left is too long and has too much brilliantine on it.

Appeared still to have a private plane though.

LaVolcan · 18/04/2013 18:17

I don't dislike Carol - she's a bit more human than her mother was.
Going back to the thread. Does George/Gidiot shedding a tear show that he is human too? Or was this a fake tear, just to pretend that he's human?
