The Government 'my neighbour is a terrorist' advert....
..that is on the radio scares the piss out of me. 'If someone closes their curtains or looks odd...call this number and stop terrorists...

You have reminded me of the poorly-worded anti-terrorist ads on the tube.
Something along the lines of "If you see a suspicious package, don't ignore it, alert a member of staff or call the police." Presumably your remaining options are to steal it or panic.

alternatively
do them all:

don't ignore - tell a staff member, then a cop.

then start panicing, and once everyone else is panicing as well, steal it.

One of the funniest things Andy Parsons ever came out with:
"Long gone are the days when you could see a bag or a parcel, just left, unattended on a bus or a train carriage and think...'I'm having that.'"

the neighbours spotty teenage son closes the curtains for a spot of self loving, you gotta call the cops? obviously people thought that one through a lot

No, you use the special telephoto lens on your camera to watch for a bit to make sure that's what he's doing,
then when you're finished you call the police.

Of course.
He is committing the sin of onanism, and is probably thinking about sex before marriage too. HE MUST REPENT BEFORE GOD OR BURN IN HELL FOREVER.

Wow. This is not beginning to sound at all Gestapo-esque, is it?

(LongJohnBaldry, Fri 26 Mar 2010, 14:28, Reply)

Bring back the Gestapo I say.
They get a lot of 'negative PR' but in many ways they were fucking ace.

Great sense of style too.

People always forget about their great sense of humour, as well.

History is vague on that one, isn't it?
Holocaust this..genecide that... seems to sell more copies than stories of their more frivolous side.

History is always written by the winners...
...REMEMBER THAT.


A bunch of well-dressed guys just having a good old laugh - there's no 'story' there, is there? So they have to make up a whole load of other stuff to fill column inches.

Problem is, history is written by the winners.
I'm sure the germans have many humourous books about the world wars. Its just that the translations aren't popular.

Edit: Damn you Monty
