Now he’s 62% Scottish - I guess that must be because he’s just been on the telly blubbing about not winning. Lack of a stiff upper lip and all that.

Comment on Time for Direct Action! by Chalky

Call me paranoid, but wasn’t it strange that on the day that the government was going to get lots of bad publicity from a demonstration about how they are abusing their powers in the name of preventing terrorism, that they upgraded Britain’s terrorist security threat level for no apparent reason? The papers were then full of what could the threat possibly be and why they weren’t saying anything, rather than why jobsworth coppers are stopping, searching, and sometimes arresting photographers who want to take an innocent picture of London landmarks.

So how did you get on?

A Moloch was a god of the Ammonites who demanded the sacrifice of children by burning, and he ruled in Gehenna - which, as well as being the valley of Hinnom near Jerusalem, is another word for hell.
Jejuene means intellectually unsatisfying or puerile (a bit like The Sun I guess).
Dropsical is a good one - a condition characterised by an excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body.
Chthonic - relating to or inhabiting the underworld.
Porphyritic - a rock composed of red and white crystals (Will uses it to describe an old alcoholic woman’s leg).
Necrotic - dead tissue caused by injury or disease especially gangrene or TB.
Lubricious - slippery, smooth, oily, or lewd and prurient, and sometimes evasive.
And frowsty means fusty or stuffy.

To use another of Will’s obscure words, surely this post evinces the quality of this fine blog

Comment on Oxford Circus crossing makes me cross by Chalky

Why did the tourist cross the road?

Because Westminster Council spent £5 million on some tarmac and traffic lights.

It’s a joke, but it’s not funny.
