From Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton:
“Kamala Harris promising to secure the border is like O.J. Simpson promising to find the real killer.”
Quote Of The Day
From Oasis’s Noel Gallagher:
“What I’ve found creeping into pubs, what you see now in pubs, which you didn’t used to see back in the day, is fucking dogs. I don’t recall stepping over loads of fucking dogs to go to the bogs in a pub in the ‘90s. Kids and dogs, fuck ‘em off, get home.
“Pubs need to get back to encouraging drinkers through their doors, and stop doing food because I hate sinking a few pints surrounded by waitresses and plates. Every pub does fucking food now as well. I’ve got a real fucking problem with food in pubs. Fuck off to a restaurant and then come back.”
I’m kind of in sympathy with him (although I couldn’t sing one of his band’s songs if you held a gun to my head).
The hell with dogs, whether in pubs or wherever. Your dog needs exercise? Walk it, then take it home, then go out to a pub.
Way I see it, a pub can sell the kind of food that’s more of a snack (meat pies, fish & chips, toasted sandwiches, bags of chips/crisps or bowls of peanuts)… but that’s it.
Don’t even get me started on “gastropubs”, FFS.
The business of a pub is to serve booze to grownups. End of.
Yeah, I know. With all this hoo-hah about drunk driving (note to Brits: “drink” driving is a silly, effete phrase), nobody goes out just to drink anymore. Ever wondered when we as a society started to become more like children?
When all this bullshit started.
Quote Of The Day
From some tart or other:
“I know he’s proud of me and what we have together, but no one else needs to hear that we sometimes do it five times a night and that my searing orgasms can go on for 15 minutes at a time.”
…which is why you shared your story with The Sun newspaper, right?
Quote Of The Day
From Don Surber:
“I am not saying lefties are all Nazis, of course. I am only saying Democrats should end the charade and call themselves the National Socialist Party.”
