A national newspaper manages to spell a word in the headline wrong? tut tut

Can all these rich bastards not just buy the land or something?

stevejr · 30-01-2011 3:15pm

Sure it'll be no sacrifice, no sacrifice at all

Fair play to Elton, the quicker you get rid of em the less likely they are of paving your driveway and robbing the clothes on your washing line!

Mars Bar · 30-01-2011 3:49pm

The site-owner will have a hard job trying to get anyone to move onto the site, as living next door to Elton John would be a feckin nightmare.

Well maybe self-obsessed 62-year-old homosexuals shouldn't adopt children. Now he's overrun with cream crackers. It's his own fault.

Upon hearing the news he came over a little queer.

I look forward to seeing gypsies begging on the streets wearing jumpsuits, platform boots, tiaras and funky glasses.

You've not seen "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" then?

Telegraph: 'Last week angry residents, among them retired bankers, doctors, university professors, senior airline managers and even the secretary of the local "shift and punt" club, who take to the River Thames every week, staged a mass protest.'

On that basis I'm rooting for the Gypsies*

It's a joke people. The joke is that there is no connection between the two. The joke is that in these particular situations, where an already controversial subject is inovled in something else that is controversial - somebody will inevitably try to link the two because of some agenda-driven bias. That's the joke. I'm parodying that situation.

You people don't get subtle jokes. Hang your heads in shame. Disgraceful.

If you have to explain it, its not funny.

Yes - you're probably quite correct. What should we do then? Pander to the lowest common denominator or carry on regardless? 'I must go on. I can't go on. I'll go on.' Lolz.

He would need have a 12 foot fence around his gaff with barbed wire at the top. Even at that they could still dig underneath.

Planning man: I'm sorry itinerants, but you cannot move in.

Itinerant: Haaaaay, you are discriminating against us, you can't do that. It's against the law. (Deco, grab the hatchet.)
