Now registering all ex-pets at my home in Plymouth county, "eligible" for jury duty. Well, all the ones that didn't have a criminal record.

Pure class. Common courtesy and politeness are a dying thing in todays egocentric world.

An officer and a gentleman. It's cool to see stuff like this on the "front page", but sad it's even newsworthy, right?

Seriously. I may be a crude bastard with the mouth of a drunken sailor, but in a public situation I try to remain civil and polite. Can't say that I'm always 100% successful, but I seriously try my best to treat my fellow half monkeys with respect and kindness. It's baffles me why a very large portion of the rest of society can't do the same.

An attempt at distraction from the tradgedy in Japan.

I'm likely (http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/14/depressed-dads-more-likely-to-spank/?hpt=T2) at least once a day, regardless of my mood.

I find it helps me sleep.

What, beating kids?

[Aaron]

Yup. Whilst beating myself, obviously.

[Aaron]

And now I can't get this out of my head

Drunken Dublin students scare stupid pop tart during a college ball (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-13033955)

What a beautifully sheltered life she must have had.

Either that, or she's never been to Ireland before. ;)

Also:

A host of other big bands, including The Streets, Bell X1 and The Rubberbandits played at the event which is held in the grounds of Ireland's oldest university.


Sounds like a great gig because of those bands alone. To hell with the tart.

[Aaron]

Yeah, the Trinity Ball always has a good line-up.

England is just as bad as us for drunken buffoonery though, sometimes worse! so I don't know where she's been having fun her whole life.

No need to defend, I was just playing off of the stereotype (because they're fun).

I guarantee that my state alone competes with the alcoholism rate of either Ireland or the UK (but I guess it should be mentioned that we have strong Irish heritage in these here parts ;)).

[Aaron]

No, I wasn't defending against you, I was just questioning her problem.

Competes...

Just competes. Not beats. :p

Well, come on now. We have to be honest with ourselves here, don't we? :D;)

"It's hard to sing when I just wanted to go into the crowd and help all the crying girls who were being squashed."

I love that.

"The anguished cries of my fans were difficult to endure. I wanted so badly to intervene but, you know, I was mid performance. Didn't want to break the spell for the rest of the fans who weren't in any kind of physical jeopardy."

[phit_demon]

Fuck that cunt.


Yes, I said it. Jessie J makes me go Hulk.


This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI) is the kind of shit that the tee-total shitstain has forced upon the world, and she wonders why we drink when she plays a gig.


Cunt.

[Aaron]

Nice girl though, aye?

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?!

[RobinHoodDaffy]

I have never heard of this woman, but she is all over the place at the moment. I don't know if she is releasing her first album in the states, or what. I sampled part and it just sounded like stupid pop. I did kind of giggle at one song where she spelled out B-I-T-C-H-E-S but then said "on my dick" immediately after. Then to find out she is freaked out by a mosh pit. Nope. Not for me.
