I saw amstrad go from something like 25p to something like £6 when I was a teenager. And I saw Spurs go from about £2 to about £8.That was a pretty good Batmaizah present.

I don't really care about racisim enough to block an actual friend.I'd rather talk to them about it, and disagree, but still keep in touch.
But saying that, it's quite rare that i'd have someone who's actually properly racist as a mate, AND, one who'd be thick enough to plaster it all over their FB.
Except 'The Mighty Badger', the massive racist.

See, I struggle with that, with racismbecause it's not like there's actually more than one valid viewpoint. Being racist isn't just an opposite side of a debate, any more than being a paedo is an opposite side of a debate. s'just wrong.
Except for Monty, of course, the massive racist. he's OK.
