Losing our Marbles?
I see that celebrity bumlord Stephen Fry has won a debate in which he argued that the Elgin Marbles be returned to Greece. What is your view on this – if indeed you even have one, you uncultured baboon?
There are several reasons why the Grecoes can get fucked, in my super-expert opinion. My principal argument is that the Parthenon statuary is, in essence, no different from any of the other international art treasures to be found in the world’s museums and, were we to send them back there would be equal justification for other countries - Egypt, particularly - to empty the world’s museums immediately. It’s too messy and too complicated. The ‘oh but they are special to the Greek people’ argument is bollocks: they shelled the Acropolis themselves when it was under Turkish occupation, and have let smog ruin it since then. Yes they’ve got no money, but that is in itself my second argument for not giving the marbles back: they might well not be cared for as well as we have been and will continue to do.
Finally, I suspect part of his debating success is that he is Stephen ‘national treasure’ Fry – he could probably have entered the debate arguing for them to be detonated, and still won it. The bent cunt.
I am right – I know better than you because I got a second class classics degree from a frankly terrible ex-polytechnic about twenty years ago, AND I‘ve got GCSEs and A Levels in it too so FUCK YOU, YEAH?

A reasoned argument
Fuck them - we have them and we'll fight you for them

Also:
Building a fucking museum with the space in for them isn't a valid reason. I have space in my garage for $452million of stolen Nazi gold but I'm not likely to get that, am I?
Am I?

I feel I would be able to understand this debate more easily if things could be simplified with some portmanteau words.
I suggest Elgles, Stepry and uncoon.

Lower, of course.
My choice of colleges was made entirely on the 'I want to go out smashing it' options of the locality. I lived on tequila and hot knives, when not on the old Class As. It is a miracle that I could even find the college on many days. Given my time again I would actually do some work, but I was young, extremely good looking and a massive tit and these factors conspired to sabotage my chances of a decent grade. Plus I was convinced I knew more than my lecturers, and in some cases I still think this. Not a good situation.

I shall henceforth adress you as Desmond.
I just missed a first and enjoyed a similarly Rock n Roll lifestyle, as well as being exceptionally good looking, skating lots and being a massive bellend.
Ditto the lecturers thing; I was certainly head and shoulders above most of my fellow students.
We are remarkably similar.

Greece's Mum should just march over and demand them back.
That's what my friend's Mum did when he lost all his marbles to the bigger boys at school.
Assuming Greece can cope with 6 months of being bullied afterwards, I don't see the problem.

Have you seen the uniforms of their National Guard?
They're no strangers to bullying I would imagine.

I think the police in Holland have 'polite' written on their hats.
Which is probably why it was so easy to push a van in the canal.

I belive you are right on all counts about the marbles.
If we sent them back to Greece, they would probably end up in a skip, or sold to some ruski with loads of cash. Also, I like the way the British museum doesn't call them the Elgin Marbles.

They'd only smash them on the floor after a few retsinas.
You've seen how they treat their crockery, and the silly cunts can't even afford to replace them. The dozy spanners.

The guy who won (30 slices) hasn't said a word since yesterday.
He's sitting next to me in a dressing gown and sweating with his head in his hands.

It all depends who won the game, doesn't it?

Innocent quote from a student today

I haven't had a joint for a fucking fortnight. I can't afford pot any more.
It's a miscarriage of justice. I feel like Derek Bentley.

Looks like they need a new goal keeper.

I have heard the lower orders talking about it.
I understand it to be some kind of ghastly undignified gadding about type nonsense.
To my mind, it simply will. not. do.
