Four- no, five! things...

  • Bill - don't cross post


  • A fifteen year old Nepali kid just climbed Everest...
    • I'm glad he was from Nepal - we'd never hear the end of it if it had been an Australian or an American kid. I dunno about Scottish kids, Harry, but all of the English kids' arms are too weedy...

    • I wasn't allowed to stay out after sometihng like 10.30pm when I was fifteen!! What the hell is the world coming to?!? (righteous indignation)

  • Apparently, Germany's last emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, was blackmailed by a German prostitute who threatened to expose his liking for kinky sex...

    • This guy was the grandson of a man who has a type of genital piercing named after him
    • These people were German, for chrissakes, what do you expect? (hey, Bill knows exactly what I mean.)

    • Umm, light bondage isn't actually a crime...

  • Phil the Greek has put his foot in it again and told national newspapers that "He regards Charles as precious, extravagant and lacking in the dedication ... to make a good king"... the author of the article also said Phil was "..by far the most intelligent member of the royal family".

    • Intelligent?! Wha? This is the man who told the Nigerian Secretary-General, who was wearing national dress "You look like you're ready for bed!"

    • Apart from the fact that I regard the entire royal family as parasites that should be stripped of all their titles and other guff and sent to live in one of the less salubrious suburbs of Birmingham (if you can think of anywhere worse, let me know) Prince Philip is hardly the best of the bunch and doesn't have room to talk (ever. EVER!)

  • I can do bullet points.
