Ahhh - just stab a few more women, throw in some Chinese stereotypes and say "cocksucker" 500 times. That should sort it! (leave to simmer for three years)<br /><br />However, Ian McShane is always great.

Every civilisation requires these kind of people in its last days in order to kill it off. Remember, Afghanistan costs the USA $2,000,000,000 every week.<br /><br />As for the C-word, it's simply too atomic-bombic; not a complement to the f-word, but an exponential multiplier. It only sounds good when mildly softened to "cant" by the likes of Derek & Clive and the bald bloke in "Sexy Beast".Phil Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214245608032305452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31416501.post-70028582217434363222011-06-23T23:45:24.194-07:002011-06-23T23:45:24.194-07:00Try watching 'Deadwood', before you know i...Try watching 'Deadwood', before you know it, you're cunting and cocksuckering like a cunt from the Klondike.

The blogosphere's not a Scottish pub (as much as we may wish otherwise).<br /><br />There's criticisms of Curtis that few make, namely:<br /><br /> - He does have too much of a Reithian patrician vibe in his attitudes, a certain end-of-Empire chauvanism that taints his arguments.<br /><br />- He takes as granted that the ideas that affect our lives come with the best intentions. A surprisingly naive point for someone so knowledgeable. Which may relate to the first point. Let's face it - the likes of Ayn Rand, Paul Wolfowitz, Milton Friedman or Tony Blair are just greedy, power-crazed CUNTS, not hubristic 'idealists' at all.<br /><br />But saying that, he's still better than 99.9% of British TV. I wish they'd give him DVD clearance.David K Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756535951359716522noreply@blogger.com
