I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

The Daily MailI've said it before, and I'll say it again. This newspaper annoys the feck out of me. What I don't understand is: WHY DO PEOPLE BUY THIS SHITE
CASE 1 - Today's headline "As Charles is forced to postpone the wedding until Saturday, can anything else possibly go wrong?"
So sue the Pope! Don't complain to me about how much you hate this monarch and come up with totally unexplicable "reasons".
CASE 2 - In 72 pages, there are:
11 articles/letters concerning the Monarchy.
2 Racist articles (1 concerning Islamic
Extremists).
1 Pro-Tory Article
2 Anti-Labour articles (including the Daily Mail's comment). 1 headline is "A guilty smile darted across the Prime Minister's Lips"
2 captions promoting Michael Howard.
1 Binge-drinking rant "The analysis paints a
grim picture of lawless town centres across Britain where up to 100,00 drunken youngsters are being policed by just 15-20 officers."
1 Teenage drug dealer jailed.
1 Extract from a book, World's End, concerning how exciting the Blitz was.
1 Articles criticizing the British Public.
CASE 3 - Complete letter "Prince Charles's rude "asides" at the Klosters news conference left me reeling. What a spoilt, arrogant, whining, self-satisfied ninny he is.
"He has obviously learned nothing from the Diana saga, nothing from the ongowing Camilla Parker Bowles saga and nothing from his parents.
"He hasn't the intelligence to gauge the feelings of the British people; he comes across aas a laughing stock, rude, ignorant and self-obsessed. Is this what money and position do for one?
"His outpourings are a thoroughly bad example for his sons (???). Let's prat they aren't over-influenced by their father's terrible attitude. Charles should do us a favour - marry Camilla, move over, and let someone of stature, common sense and authority stand as heir to this great nation."
Sorry. Rant over. Apologies for length, anger, girth, cases of racism, font and extracts from a truelly crap newspaper.
NOTE: I READ MY DAD'S COPY FOR THIS
