i wish i knew what was going on in america, it sounds so interesting
if im going to study politics i should PROBABLY be keeping an eye on current affairs outside of my own country
exams have taken over my life!
i learnt last term in school about stupid politicians who do stupid things and then ministerial responsibility falls apart and nothing happens to them
some people get really riled up about how corrupt political systems can be and im not one of those people, it doesnt really bother me, what bothers me is the stupidity exhibited by some of the idiots

Scoring free booze is simple. Hardly counts as a mission, secret or otherwise.

That is hilarious, I’ve never heard such a term used for tap water. And in my experience, it doesnt matter what you tell those evil little brats what something is, they still dont drink it. A good punishment will force those kids to drink what their supposed to!!

Ouch, pool balls hurt as weapons, my teeth bare record of their effectiveness.

There is Pool, Billiards, Snooker and one other (I think).
I don’t play much in pubs, too many fights over the rules. Plus I can break glasses with the cue too easily.

Is this a secret mission? Or can you tell us the finer details?
I bet it is to simply score free booze, I wish I was female, then I could have even less liver.

The number she wanted is two. Atleast all my math teachers would have said that. But they were idiots.

No intelligent woman would vote for a “woman” so blatantly against woman’s rights.

Well, yeah it is, most of the buildings are actually built from fog, it was the only naturally available resource…

“This above all, to refuse to be a victim. ”

That’s an Atwood quote. And the whole thing about charging for rape kits is just sick.

Wow, a heart attack and twenty years later he’s still shooting people. That’s classic dark lord that is.

Yeah, the end of the world is unreliable… you wait ages for one and then three come along at once.

So Whitby isn’t NORMALLY completely shrouded in fog?

Atwood’s fantastic. I loved The Penelopiad as well.

It was idiotic of the Republicans to try that tactic for marketing Palin. Her town charging rape victims for their own rape kits was enough on its own to demonstrate how anti-woman she is.

Ooooh, politics to feminism! Margret Atwood is great, isn’t she?

Does this mean we can grumble about how stupid it was for the Republicans to think that feminists would vote for Palin, just cause she’s a woman?

Unfortunately, there are many people- politicians and otherwise- that are able to escape any real punishment for their actions while those who’ve committed lesser bad acts stay dead and buried.

It reminds me of a passage from The Handmaid’s Tale:

“Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn’t really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn’t about who can sit and who has to stand or kneel or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.”

I do believe you are correct!

He must be one of Dick Cheney’s minions for he is truly the most evil thing anyone can imagine. I mean the guy doesn’t even have a heart anymore and everyone is aware of that fact. According to Wikipedia Dick had his first heart attack in 78.

what with our luck being what it is, I’d hardly expect the end of the world to come just when we need it most

Adam, I just wanted to say, you helped me win an argument today. Well, it wasn;t an argument, but still.
My friend said “Think of a number between one and ten”
“four”
“That isn’t even”
“seven?”
“or odd….or a decimal…or one. or ten.” (She’s this kind of person, see)
and so I went to my drawer, I got out my copy of the Flowfield Unity book, I found the correct page and showed her a certain strip, in which a number is discovered between 3 and 4, sometime in the 2200’s.
Needless to say, she was rendered speechless.
It’s good to be queen.

No, no- I’m just here to enjoy the conversation and comics. The listening devices in your homes are for the spying.

’stylable’ false mustaches? don’t get me wrong, it could work, i’m just not sure how much style you can get from a false mustache…

Everyone, without fail, sees themselves as an ameteur sleuth.
I love that! We all have a need to find things out.

Also, you can now get stylable false moustaches. In my experience, they make excellent birthday presents.

You’re right, I forgot to add pool… we do have a differnt version here with just two different colours, but the 8-ball version is becoming more popular in the dedicated halls.

And that’s the thing. Pool tables take up a lot of room… room that could be filled with drinking customers, so they tend have slowly disappeared from most pubs as they get re-furnished.

Aww, remembering the days when a decent pub fight included pool cues and smudges of blue chalk under your eyes… Oddly I recently heard about a mini-riot in a UK prison where the pool table became the focus of the action. A lot of projectiles…

Alternatively nude ninjas could possibly be more effective as their enemies are likely to be easily distracted.
