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?

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?

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.

Ditto the lecturers thing; I was certainly head and shoulders above most of my fellow students.

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.

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.
