rob-the-viking has a punt

[Castlebest]

Funny pete, I was under the impression that the government owns b****r all . The only money they have is ours, so the bank is owned by us ........... . So why don't we give ourselves a loan...?

 

Or stop over for a night in our newly refurbished (at a cost of £750k) house in London?

 

Or we could have bought over 18,000 pieces of equipment for Rob and his mates with the money instead

What! and have the poor Speaker living in squalor while rob and his mates live it up in 5-star foxholes in Afghanistan - perish the thought, pete-

 

Seroiusly though, it's a sad indictment of where our priorities and values lie..............

lol, enjoying the banter chaps!

 

Now time for a couple of monday afternoon thread creeps. Yes, today is dragging like hell and this callsign is bored out of his mind! This is the kind of conversation that takes place where I work.

 

1. If it could be arranged, who would win in a fight between a Great White Shark and an Aligator? (In water before you ask!)

 

2. If you had a revolver with one round and you coule get away with shooting one person in the world, who would it be?

 

3. If you had to lose one of your senses for good, which would it be?

 

discuss...

 

I'll post my answers in a bit.

 

 

Looking forward to hearing your answers!

 

a curious (not bi-curious before some chump asks)

[rob-the-viking]

Linky thing here if anyone wants to look.

Thanks for the heads up andena.

[Castlebest]

"We are looking into it and basically it has got lost from A to B," said an HSBC spokesman. thank gawd it never went to C

"The reinsurer we sent it to is doing a thorough search for the disc. We will do anything we can to find it."

Is it just me or does everyone else get a mental immage of people looking down the back of the sofa and phoning the pub they went to after work on Friday 8)

 

another fine mess they got me into

1. If it could be arranged, who would win in a fight between a Great White Shark and an Aligator? (In water before you ask!)

I think it would be a draw, similar to this senario

2. If you had a revolver with one round and you coule get away with shooting one person in the world, who would it be?

One round is just not enough

 

3. If you had to lose one of your senses for good, which would it be?

My sense of honesty, I could get a good job with a bank then

1. The Aligator I think, Sharks can't swim backwards to I think he'd have the edge.

 

2. I'd try and get George W Bush and Bliar to stand with their heads together.

 

3. My sense of reason went out the window when I started to deal with Colon and the rest of the clown party at HSBC head office, so I guess I'd have to say smell instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bloke and I'd miss the smell of my own farts, but I'd rather be able to taste the sweet black gold that is Guiness..... *drooling....... Is it wrong that I could easily drink a pint this early in the morning???
