  • :lol: That's quality. But I'm disappointed that they couldn't find any way of linking it to their other favourite issues. With a bit of work, they could have described the gay man as an asylum seeker, looked at the damage this spat is doing to house prices in the area, and started a scare that all our food is contaminated with slug pellets giving us cancer, as part of an evil terrorist plot. Then next week, they could run a front page splash claiming that slug pellets actually cure cancer, and that immigrants have found out somehow and are selfishly stockpiling all our slug pellets for themselves.

    (Actually, knowing what I do about the Daily Heil's obsessions and methods, I wouldn't be confident that a single element of the story has any basis in reality, but it's still funny.)

    I think the same story was on the BBC website, so there may be some truth in it. :shock:

    Gotta love the Daily Wail for these dramas:

    I should've known it would involve the Daily Blackmail. As soon as I saw the thread title I had visions of something that would have Richard Littlebrain frothing at the mouth like a badly-poured can of Guinness.

    Plus they should somehow ultimately blame Gordon Brown for creating the social/economic conditions that led to this outrage.

    p.s. from looking at that photo, would I be right in asuming the gay man's garden is the one on the left? Something about the OTT aspirations for what is actually a tiny plot, it reminded me of that character from Crapston Villas, who had pretentious faux-Greek classical sculptures hiding the economy 7 radiators.

    Don't forget the obligatory reference to The Bin Police, another of the DM's obsessions (with little if any basis in reality, but since when did tabloid papers give a monkey's about reality, unless it's followed by the abbreviation TV?). Oh, and there's always "EU Bureaucrats Try To Ban Our Slug Pellets", along the lines of recent Mail/Express bleatings about light bulbs.

    This story reminds me of this -

    Why do women have legs?
    So they don't leave a mess like slugs.

    Have they messed up their facts? It was the lesbian that didn't have a full leg quota, not the cat, hence sly the use of slug pellets.

    He must have had a bit of a brainwave from this incident a couple of years ago. If your missus, offers to make you your favourite curry...be afraid!

    Maybe. Blaming the EU's probably a safer bet, as Paul Dacre's quite chummy with Gordon, IIRC. The Express has the monopoly on Diana/McCann conspiracies, but maybe it could be linked to MMR in some way.

    I'd go with that. There's nothing but an untidy bush outside the house on the right - that has to be the lesbians, doesn't it?
