Then back in Blackpool first weekend in March. Oh, and Bradford in August, as usual.

Ms Foxtrot wants to go to Argentina, to learn to Tango in Buenos Aires. I would say this sounds a bit fanciful, but it's her 30th this year and she tends to manage whatever she sets her mind on.

But even if we go it won't be as good as Bradford and Blackpool, so it was hardly worth mentioning, really

That's like saying that syphilis fills one with a greater sense of joie de vivre than does gonhorrea
The most disappointing pubs I've been to in that respect were in Dublin. I was expecting boisterous gaelic bohnomie; instead I got dead-eyed musicians peddling identical Levellers-lite drivel, eyeing the room for a fellow Paddy amongst the sea of tourists and immigrants. All of whom were looking into their wallets and feeling like they'd been raped.

It's more that I don't like London pubs

Double JD and a bottle of Crabbies, served with ice and a slice of lime. Very refreshing, and gets you hammered.

Hmm. I will concede that two wrongs can make a right, and in some cases two revolting ingredients can combine to make something palatable.
(cf Tequila and Triple Sec)

However, JD tastes like somebody poured cheap vanilla essence into a bottle of Bell's, and Crabbies, whilst not unpleasant, is far too sweet for its own good. If you want an alcoholic ginger beer with a nice, balanced flavour, Williams Bros of Alloa do a good one, and The Hole in the Wall in Portsmouth does a great job of making its own.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:09, Reply)

If they were available near me, I'd give them a try
And the only reason it's JD is because everywhere sells that. It has also been used with Grant's and a cheap Jim Beam rip off.

Yeah, I read it.
This is funnier: istyosty.com/a8t

In summary: Nick Griffin = bastard child of all left wing politicians, everyone on the left is both racist and accuse normal people of racism at the drop of a hat, more basic research fails, the BBC telling people about Tory policies is done because of left wing bias and if they were privatised, they wouldn't be so left wing.

WTF?

This site was set up after reading this. I thought it would be more fair to the statistics if only people who actually liked the daily mail appeared as a "hit" on the site. We are a proxy service enabling users to view that particular site without necessarily visiting it. Pages are cached here for a few days so many hits on a particular story will only count as one initial hit on that website (until the page is re-cached). Hits to the homepage however, are updated every few hours to keep it reasonably current. This system has the added advantage of providing anonymity from their invasive tracking and the advertisements from companies that should know better (we strip the ads, referer information and the javascript by default).
Wha?

This process is entirely legal - we are just a proxy and we do not permanently store any copyright protected content on our servers so keep your knickerbockers on (in fact we don't even let our proxied pages appear in search engine results). We urge you to share the shortened links provided by istyosty.com if you would like to link to the mail to point out how ignorant they are. As well as denying them hits, you'll be damaging their search engine ranking as you won't be linking directly to them.' ;)

Feel free to send insults/kind words/threats/further ideas to the contact address.

You should write for the Daily Mail
hey Al, I had a pie the other day and thought of you
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:15, Reply)

I can't see where that says what istyosty actually stands for though?

(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:16, Reply)

But what does "istyosty" mean? I can never remember that, if it was something like "The daily mail without adverts" to "tdmawa", then I could remember it.
I think it's still theft, they're stealing DM's advertising revinue while still displaying their content. It's like when you record something off the telly onto a VHS and then make copies to hand it around to mates, even skipping the adverts, it doesn't matter that they only keep it for a few days.

I agree quite strongly with Jan Moir's article today.
Celebrities tweeting their condolences for the whole world to see is a load of egotistical and self promoting bollocks.

She doesn't do irony though, apparently.

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 8 Feb 2011, 11:53, Reply)

I know the manner in which she wrote it makes her rather hypocritical, but I still think she's bang on the money this time.
Plus she winds people up which makes her class in my book.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 11:57, Reply)

Yes, there is nothing better than someone winding other people up by being a nasty bigotted shit.

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:05, Reply)

She is a total knob, I just find it amazing people let themselves get so wound up about what she writes.
She clearly goes out to get a reaction with her articles (raising peoples' awareness of the Dail Mail in the process) and succeeds every time. Everyone should ignore her and the knobheads that employ her rather than get angry about it.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:11, Reply)

Or burn her to death.

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:17, Reply)

Because many people don't think she is writing to get a reaction, they think she is writing the truth
and what's more worrying is that she probably isn't writing to get a reaction, she actually is a cunt.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:17, Reply)

I disagree
I think it's nice that there are messages coming from them. Yes, I'm sure there are more private ways of doing it, but would you want constant phone calls/texts/visitors at a time like that?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 11:56, Reply)

The cynic in me thinks it's all about the celebrities tying themselves in with it to boost their public image.
They're tweeting their condolences and then five minutes later promoting their latest tv show/tour/book or telling the world they had a hard boiled egg for breakfast via the same medium.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:00, Reply)

No different from what it'd be in real life then
If a friend of mine tells me their *insert relative here* has died, I'll pass on my condolences, but once I'm off the phone, it doesn't enter my mind again, not until I send them my best wishes on the day of the funeral. It's human.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:02, Reply)

Yes but this isn't real life it's a social networking site that doesn't work in the same way as speaking to someone on the phone and then hanging up.
You can't really compare the two.

I think there's been some confusion
Gonz took his Aunty Barbara, I brought my friend Barry. There was an unpleasant incident when they got a bit carried away in the back seat, and then when we got to BGB's she wasn't in and Barbara had to have a wee in a plant pot.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 12:12, Reply)

I won't even get my annual trip to Merca to see my girlies this year, because they're coming here to see me. So I get to spend what would be me American holiday money on staying in my own fucking town. And as many of you will know, my town is fucking shit.
