Who still looks like a little girl.

 

That's probably giving most of them too much credit. The rationale for small government tends to be more like "boooo politicians are dicks, hands off my freedom".

 

Tancredi Palmeri on Twitter:

"Ok. Wait. Cause the next news related about football we never ever heard. And you won't forget about it. Believe me, you won't."


"Cagliari's Ibarbo girlfriend has been hospitalized for abdominals pain dued,as she said,to exaggerate phallic size"

 

The Daily Mail and rags like it, will suggest that what they promote is titillation and nothing more. I would suggest that it depends on your point of view. What they consider titillation now, they would have considered porn only a generation or two before. It's huge moral double standards on their part. If their own standards were consistent with their campaigning, one might take them ever so slightly seriously, but they are just the same rag as they've always been, i.e.

1. Find a topic that will outrage or frighten the Daily Mail readers.
2. Give them half baked reason why they should be outraged and/or frightened.
3. Sell newspapers on the back of it.
4. Move to next topic - the Great British Public incorrectly perceive there is danger or disaster round every corner.
5. Laugh at them.
6. Cheer them up - another royal parasite on verge of pupping.
7. Lead loyal cheers
8. Next topic - homeless are occupying empty council houses scandal

And so it goes.

 

That's where I thought I was supposed to look ...

 

Knew that exaggerating your phallic size could cause some angst, but that seems a bit extreme.

 

Meh, if I use an exclamation mark, I'm probably not being serious!

 

Well thank you for that insider information at last. What sign do you give if you're certainly being humorous..? A full stop..?

Well sometimes I put the exclamation mark in parentheses like so (!)

 

Careful, the Daily Mail will force you to remove your post because it's corroding childhood.

 

I feel that humour or sarcasm, if used properly, shouldn't need to be pointed out.

 

Why can't you just use a smiley..?

 

I agree, however frequently on the Internet, that is not the case.

 

Well I'm blowed, Casey Stoner has had withdrawal symptoms and has signed up for 4 test sessions to ride the current RC213V and next season's prototype. He said he is "still happy" with his decision to stop full time bike racing.

"But there are times when I miss riding my RC213V so I am really happy that Honda have asked me to do some testing in Motegi this year," Stoner said. "It will allow [me] to enjoy what I miss, which is riding a MotoGP bike."

Must admit, I'd like to see how he'd go against Marquez. Especially as I think the Rookie has out-psyched his more experienced team-mate, Pedrosa simply by being a lot faster, and bouncing when he crashes instead of breaking.

 

Poe's Law may apply.

 

So the new Barcelona manager looks set to be Gerardo Martino. He and Mauricio played together for Newell's.

Poche on the far right, Martino is the goalkeeper stood to the left.
