I thought that Walmart owned Tesco, is it just a subsidiary or was it sold off or something. Also please ignore your custom title, Trin, your posts are like beautiful women- I only want to see more of them.

Why are all these comics giving Putin jowls or even a horse face or dog muzzle? Didn't he use to have a tiny head? Did he grow old and wrinkly when I wasn't looking?

Why bother drawing a plug at all if you're going to gently caress it up so badly in so many ways? Is it a coded plea for help? Is Paul Thomas, in fact, a poor innocent man held against his will at an Express compound, forced to draw tediously mundane yet disturbingly xenophobic cartoons? Was his recent hiatus due to his managing to bloodily throw himself over a ragged barbed wire fence and hoof it into the woods, surviving only on the foxes and badgers he sees every day through the tiny holes in his cell's translucent windows? Was he eventually tracked through all the days of wet and cold and dirt by Desmond's vicious smell hounds? I wonder what cartoonists think when they make one and then someone else produces a near identical one for the same story. That's gotta look bad, surely

I feel like "Strictly Don't Come to Britain" is actually a funny joke. I could see someone who's not Paul Thomas drawing the same cartoon about how dumb it is that they're doing publicity campaigns in Romania about how awful the UK is.

Yeah but he's not doing that, he's going What vapid topic can I base today's work on? Oh look, popular TV show is coming on again, on schedule, this is not news I'll use that then Strictly Come Dancing... hmmm Strictly... don't... don'T COME OVER 'ERE YOU FUCVKVC    Ok this is genius but I suppose I have to clean it up because of the loving PC brigade I'll say it's the Border Agency They're the ones who SHOULD be saying it I mean I get ya but there's any number of ways he could have cleverly tied that in to those publicity campaigns, instead it's his usual lazy THING IS ON TV with some mouthpiece saying CLOSE TEH BORDERZ or whatever he woke up shouting last night. Maybe it's the humour equivalent of abiogenesis

This is pretty expected. Heysham, Hartlepool et al are all old as balls and we proper hosed them over in the early 90s. Combine that with a (correct) conservative view to maintenance and operation nowadays and you get the odd 6-month outage.

"This video is not available in your country" OH THE IRONY The Queen can absolutely say no, or as Bell accurately puts it, NEIGH. She might even get a vote, since she's a sometime resident! Then her opinion would actually be counted

She could, in theory, but that would probably just end up with her own courts promptly informing her that she was overstepping her bounds and overturning it. What's left of Royal Prerogative that still exists in law is there in the tacit understanding that it's never used outside of internal royal family matters.
