Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-06-30 06:05:50Copy HTML I remember that when I was a kid, me and my brother watched all of the films, but there was a part in one of them where Harpo is leaning on one hand on the side of a building. A copper comes up a shout at him what do you think you’re doing, holding up the building? Harpo grins and nods yes. He grabs him by the arm and pulls him away and tells him to get going a couple seconds later the building fell down. Me and my brother were laughing at that for two days. |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-06-30 01:22:07Copy HTML "Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work & give to those who are not" Nikita Khruschev. Which our socialist PM had in mind when he's paying millions of foreigners billions to sit on their arse. What Johnson's excuse was I'm at a loss to explain. Mind you, when you have a man who spends an age and a fortune paying hairdressers to make him look as though he just climbed out of bed, what do you expect? |
