Look here, Uber and Mikee. I think your picture posting antics have caused enough strife for one day. Poor Astromariner has gone home ill - mentally - because of you two. Now you're jigsawing boys mutant-shaped? Sick. Posts: 1083

What's the implication there damo?!!1 the boy lived in my front room for 6 months and he spent most of that time looking at porn on my PC in his undercrackers!
er that I knew what his torso looked like but that i hadn't sexed him.

Hey! My poo face is totally serene and impassive, much as I imagine Moira Stewart's is. Anyway: it's not nice to mock the afflicted. I can't believe that yesterday I went from tra-la-la mind my own business, to reading people I've never met pointing out that my face looks like I'm doing an enormous shit: nice!

*Ahem*
The problem is that our view of history is coloured by later events. The Victorians have a lot to answer for. From my point of view (and I talk to a lot of people about this sort of stuff, through my school-talk business) people think it was all poncing around in togas in brilliant white temples. It was never like that. If you want to read filthy poetry, nasty politics or evil senses of humour, the R*mans and Greeks outdo anything seen today. Think of a particularly nasty banana republic (with `El Presidente' replaced by the Emperor and you have the picture).
Then again, ignorance about history never seems to amaze me - despite all these programmes...
Personally though, I'm not complaining about the glut of programmes about the ancient world. I've got (and am still getting) people paying me to stand around for a while looking R*man/Saxon/whatever and buying some of the stuff I make.
Apologies for rambling. I've been drinking strong beer.

I was going to say 'of course, doesn't everyone?', but then realised that we don't, not really. I can't think of a single 'English joke'. Except for Charlie Hodgson, of course.
In fact when I think about it we take the piss out of each other more than anything else, be it for being 'culchies' (country folk), 'frankies' (belfast), 'knackers' (dublin), 'spides' (chavs in English) or 'boggers' (muck savages from the western wastes such as Kerry).
It's odd, you would imagine there'd be more venom directed at the 'saxon pirate' than there is.

There's one big consolation in being an English rugby fan when England lose and that is seeing the pure and genuine joy of the teams that beat us. I sometimes think that we do more towards international relations and goodwill in losing at rugby than we ever did as a nation in our long history of conquest and empire.
I can't imagine an English side reacting to a win like the French or the Welsh have in the last two weekends, apart from at the end of the World Cup final of course. In a bizarre way it actually comes across as a huge compliment to the English, even if it's not meant in that way at all. The day an opposition team walks off the field after beating England looking bored and acting as if it was just another day's work and a completely predicatable result is the day I'll feel upset at an England defeat.
This may explain why there are so few jokes about the English. You only really make jokes about people you like and admire, like you'd take the piss out of your best mate in the pub. No one feels like this about England, so no one makes jokes about us.

Well. Yes. It's less that the English are perceived as talented rugby players and more that the English are perceived as cunts. Just to be clear.

Rugby is different, but you only have to sit through countless '1966' programmes every time the World Cup comes round to realise the English can be pretty insufferable in victory.
For Irish people, and I imagine the Scots and Welsh also, there definitely is something special about beating England. I suppose because England is so much bigger than the other 'home nations' and has played such a dominant role in our shared history.
There's also something of an 'English wankers' culture here, but to be honest when I lived in Leicester I found the people far more welcoming and friendly than at home, and English people I meet on holiday are usually decent types compared to some of the dickheads here.
Edit: Further evidence of English 'okayness'. My Mum moved to Bagshot in Surrey (warm beer and cricket on the green all round) a few years ago and has been made to feel incredibly welcome, as have I when I visit. Maybe it's because she is the only Irish in the village, but I can't see the same courtesy being extended to an English person who moved here.

Just wanted to say that naked mutant boy has got a really nice stomach. I've forgotten what the rest of the thread was about because I kept getting distracted by stomach-snippets...

It might be in the nature of Englishes to do a bit of blaming. I know the English press is famous for trying to find someone to scorn but its a little bit inbuilt in the character of Englishes themselves. In rugby, England have won countless games over the last few years despite being outscored and outplayed by having a great kicker, firstly in Andrew and later with Wilkinson. On none of these occasions has the opposition dug straight into their own kicker for missing a few. Last week it was Tait, I mean, ffs, he's only twelve. The Welsh don't do it, the Irish don't do it, perhaps we've got fewer options, but God forgive the English who misses a penalty in rugby or footaboll.

Good news, ladies. Mutant boy may indeed be gay at heart but is in fact straight at cock. Before you all rush off to bum jnohj in the gob I would like to make it known that my stomach is just as toned as his and probably cleaner too.

If that really is jnhoj then I fancy him more than I did anyway! And even if it isn't jnhoj then I'm going to pretend that it is and imagine him like that everytime I read his posts!
But yes, boystummy is generally a favourite with the laydees. As is older man's proper round tummy oddly enough - although the latter is an aquired taste which comes with age. That age being about 30. Don't ask me why, I'm a victim here not the perpetrator.
edit to add: for connoisseur's of fine man tummy check out the tummy of our own dear omikin which can be found in misc's gallery of shame and which I had to seriously debate about the ethics of saving to my hard drive. Once, at a meat, I had the pleasure of being simultaneously shown omikin's and bandy's tummies at the same time!

hey jnhoj, is that really you, huh? Huh! I need to know. I am currently compling my tmotoptummy gallery and it's important info. Also, I would rather like to kiss mcandrew's malnucherished tummy.
