Is there some cultural reason why whenever I hear a student dragging their feet
I know without looking that they're Chinese.
Seriously, what is that?
It can't be genetic. Is there anyone here who knows something about shoe/walking etiquette in China??

They've had their feet bound.
They all do it, I've heard.

It is because they are in a post casino fug.
Voracious gamblers the chinee, always seem to be losing as well.

And they're all Triads.

Call in the Royal Navy to bombard his desk from the sea.
Then invade and occupy his cubicle and force him to buy all of your spare opium. Its really the only reasonable, British thing to do.

A friend was eating out in Chinatown one night
when a shitload of scrawny lank-haired fuckers with meat cleavers steamed in the door and straight through to the kitchens, from whence horrible screaming could be heard.

'It was fucking brilliant - and we just fucked off without paying, too'

Charming chap.

'cause of course,
when it sounds like someone's being brutally murdered in the kitchen, the first thing you think to do is ask for the bill...

How peculiar.

Hadn't really thought of it like that, I have to say
The opportunistic glee with which the tale was told was slightly appalling, though.

Yeah, if he'd said
"We decided the safest thing to do was to get the fuck out of there,"
it wouldn't be as troubling. I know some people always like to look on the bright side of life, but I think you have to draw the line somewhere...

If you were wearing your Goldfinger suit
you'd just casually interrupt, compliment the chef, and slide a 10 Bob note into the waiters top pocket. Pip pip!

then strike up a witty Noel Coward-style ditty on the piano.

Oh dear,
compliments to the chef? Lacerations to the chef more like it.

I wish someone would do that to Ken fucking Hom
Never has a man had such an appropriate name.

He's like some oleagenous fucking sex tourist, that cunt. I hate him and his fucking rice wine.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 11:28, Reply)

He is very slimy,
like a tamperer, a toucher and a watcher all rolled into one greasy spring roll.

I think the same could be said for most male celebrity chefs though
Gary "fucking" Rhodes and Jamie "ooh what a bit slobbery tongue I've got" Oliver are similarly insufferable.
(LongJohnBaldry, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 11:36, Reply)

Rhodes is especially unpleasant.
Never trust a thin chef.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 11:50, Reply)

I hate gary rhodes with his stupid hair and face
and his crap recipes and his disdain for Nigella

I don't know what he's got against her
any woman who can cook that well with knockers that big is alright in my book.

Him and his stupid face.
(LongJohnBaldry, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 12:43, Reply)

He probably tried - and failed - to shag her
The fucking gaunt, humourless wankstain.

Nigella is superb. She'd get it until my bollocks exploded.

damn straight
I have a penchant for curvy dark haired women with milky complexions, large boobs and a filthy look about them. the cooking is just a bonus.

an old mate of mine moved to rural Ireland many years ago
Turned out Floydy lived in the same village - they became close pub-mates. Utterly unsurprisingly he was a right fucking laugh, apparently.

You're forgetting Fanny & Johnny Craddock
One of my brother's friends was their carer in their final days - when she went to their house for the first time, there was a god-awful stench in the front hall. Some investigating later, it became apparent that the smell was coming from a large number of carrier bags all over the place, that were filled with the (now totally senile) Fanny's shit.

What a brilliant story, eh?
