It;s serious. It was on Montcrief on the radio the other day.

Mayo fairly attracts the nutters

Wasn't it there that they blessed the roads in a bid to curb road deaths? And where a load of dopes needed medical treatment for staring at the sun?

You forgot the infamous Burkes...

I was afraid you might say that

Hotblack Desiato

Between that and Liveline you'd have to wonder about the sanity of people who spend their afternoons listening to that shite

Wait... they're not humour? I'm wrecked. I always tuned in for a laugh to Moncrief.

Erm ok, not sure why but this had me feeling a bit worried for Shrek ;)

Dunno, Britain and Boris could also compete pretty heavily in this category and let's not even talk about Russia bombing the shít out of their neighbour as the world heads into climate disaster. It's a sad state of affairs when you look at our own politicians, who are rightly treated with derision and yet still seem vastly preferable to the options available in very many other countries.

Hotblack Desiato

Sure but you could hardly accuse Boris of being religiously motivated...

People say politicians here are boring. Boring politics is good politics. It's when it stops being boring that something bad happens.

Guessing Hitchens was referring to wasters, idiots and ne'er do wells of all creeds (and none 😀 ) at the time. Fundamental right wing Christians do deserve a special place in these kind of arguments to be fair.

Seems reasonable 😀

cf, Golgafrincham:

"Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.

These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B Ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course, the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone."

Douglas Adams tells us that Ship B seeded humanity on Earth.

A-moan to that
