    You missed out the most important part: Cadbury chocolate tastes like **** now, since the Kraft takeover.
    I have no problems with our colonial cousins, but their confectionery is utter ****e, I'm afraid.

    They use palm oil or something now instead of cocoa and it's awful.

    Stupid, short-term thinking that'll ruin a company that's nearly 200 years old.
    They don't give a crap about that, though.

    This leads to two important questions

    1.) Why would anyone willingly eat chocolate made by an American company? It's lardy ****e.
    ii.) Why would anyone willingly vote Tory/ They're sociopathic ****s.

    Better watch out for incoming Yanks, then. They've been known to **** things up.
    I know that every Christian must be offended when a pagan fertility goddess isn't given top billing on the holiest day of the year.

    "I've read the Bible. I can't find the words 'bunny' or 'chocolate' anywhere in the ****ing book. Where do you come up with this ****? Why those two things? Why not 'Goldfish left Lincoln Logs in your sock drawer'? As long as we're making **** up, go hog wild. At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back crawling across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it!" - Bill Hicks

  12. Syria chemical 'attack': Russia clashes with West at UN
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-39500319

    I wonder how Russia's overt defence of Assad's implausible claims (of Opposition culpability) will sit with those supporting Putins involvement in the civil war? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Whoever used it it's wrong. Russia getting involved is making our western world a safer place and i'm not against them taking down IS/Rebels rather what we were doing and sitting on our arses whilst IS expanded / supplying the rebels/IS

    It's not helped by the fact that a certain ally of both the UK and the US (who are exempt from Trump's Muslim travel ban...) is funding ISIS/ISIL/IS/whatever the **** we're calling them this week.

  19. Back on the Trump trail.....
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39497447

    Seems like this crooked hypocrite is happy to screw his 'neighbours' as well as the country! :emoticon-0181-fubar

    Particularly focused on this paragraph towards the bottom of the article:
    "As a private citizen, Mr Trump delighted in tweeting pot shots at Mr Obama over his presidential travel costs, but according to an analysis by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, Mr Obama spent $97 million on travel in his entire eight years in office - a figure Mr Trump could, at his current rate, comfortably outspend within his first year."

    Wrong to emphasise chemical weapons, even to hear the PM say that "it might be a war crime". Very much detracts from what's going on in that civil war in general. The war crime is slaughtering civilians, what difference is the manner of death other than "newsworthiness"? So lets say 100 people are killed which is tragic, but probably 100 civilians are being killed every day - why should this be any different? Our society seems to rank the value of death, but I want to be protected from all forms of death other than natural causes. Chemical weapons and terrorism seems to be on top of the tree, but that tree seems to be determined by the news. Surely if you're dead you're dead. If a family loses their breadwinner or their child prematurely what difference does it make if they were killed by a chemical weapon or a drunk driver? Is it a "war crime" to kill people by chemical weapons but not by a conventional bomb - which might well achieved the same effect. It's hypocrisy, misleading and being badly informed. For example, chemical weapons (which need to be used on an industrial scale against unprotected targets to be effective) is a weapon of mass destruction, but a thermobaric weapon dropped off the back of a C-130 because it's so f-ing big is not.
