    The bottom line is, rugby is a thugs game for gentlemen, football is a gentlemens game for thugs. That's why rules for rugby crowds are more relaxed than the rules for football crowds.

    Blame the imbeciles from the eighties for the bollocks we have to put up with today. One day I'm sure we'll be allowed the same leniency as other sports crowds get, but for now sporadic, if uncommon, acts of mindless twattery still keep holding us football fans back.

    Thanks for telling us that.


    Looks like my various array of DVDs will come in handy tonight now while I struggle to fall asleep.

    Fascinating creatures. As well as being important pollinators, without which we would all die, they are one of the few creatures who have evolved to be truly metamorphic.

    Please learn to appreciate their beauty and contribution to the wonderment of our natural world.

    Or at the very least, hate them if you must, but stop f**king swatting them.

    I really cannot understand how anyone can fear, or hate, a cute fluffy moth.

    About as fearsome as a week old lamb.

    I don't know what the lambs look like where you live mate, 'kin hells bells.

    It looks like a furious, airborne demon.

    I'm not convinced it's a moth either, not convinced at all.

    That's pretty much the best summary anyone's posted about this.

    ****ing hell. Thanks for that. Added to the knowledge that spiders lay eggs in your ears, the eggs hatch, the babies eat your brains from the inside out, I may not sleep again ever.

    It could only be worse if it was a spider. Flying spiders. Sweet Jesus Christ, why did I even imagine that.

    As I'm sure that you are all aware this is a Venezuelan Poodle Moth. The hair has probably evolved as defence against being eaten or touched. The hairs will probably be an irritant to preditors, either giving them a nasty rash or an uncomfortable tickley throat on being swallowed.

    The fact that it looks cuddly and lamb like is irrelevant.

    Being cuddly and lamb like is not going to give you an evolutionary advantage.

    Looking ugly and like a ****-off lion might do that.

    But it doesn't look like that.

    The verbal antics of those 3 rapscallions was quite amusing, Mr Hat.

    I have no desire to be patronising to either your good self or, indeed, the three jesters whom you post in defence of your thesis, but that is not actually how evolution works.

    Essentially, the ability to adapt quickly as a species, over as short a time period as possible, to potential life threat will be more successful than **** bollocks spouted by dwarfs and longshank ****s, supplemented by a Mancunian pretend idiot.

    Soz.
