The Cunting Thread

Think how useful a skill it will be when you need to get rid of that body. Alternatively, is Larry a Christian dog? Perhaps he is preparing for the Rapture, when you will be lifted from your clothes and ascend into GB heaven. Those hiding places may be his bunkers full of tinned beans. Leave him some ammo too and he'll be set.

Neither Larry nor I are particularly biblish people. We don't begrudge those who believe, but the Holy Spirit has never touched us. And truth be told, I'm a bit looking forward to the rapture. There's too damned many people on Earth, and I know how to make fire.
 
In the interest of GB harmony, I retract the "one of you".

An excellent non-apology, sir! It reminds me of the brilliant Dennis Skinner, one of Britain's last working class MPs. He once said in the House of Commons that 'Half the Tories opposite are crooks,' and was of course told to withdraw the remark immediately.

"OK. Half of them aren't crooks."

Oh! There it is!

Our wonderful language, where a negative can mean the same.

I recently read a funny little piece on words and phrases not permitted in the Dáil Éireann, at least in reference to other deputies. Corner boy was one; accusing someone of handbagging is verboten. I'll have to see if I can find the full list.
 
I knew I should have looked through this thread once more before posting these.

Sonofabitch.
