That's fantastic Just a note on the Yorkshire pudding for any Americans reading.
The article states that Yorkshire puddings are not a pudding.
This can be incorrect as if you are from Yorkshire then you can have a Yorkshire pudding as a pudding with pudding on. (and some jelly too if you feel the urge)
Yesterday lunch time there was a bunch of Socialist Workers (obviously taken the day off work...) in the town centre protesting about anything and everything. One particularly vocal and annoying one had a 'Save the NHS' placard she was waving about whilst bellowing like a fishwife. I couldn't resist so walked over to her and informed her that I thought the country would be far better off if the NHS was privatised. It took a second or two for what I'd said to her to sink in, and then she went absolutely bananas calling me a fat cat and that it's fine for rich bds like me. Highly amusing, especially as I haven't got 50p to scratch my arse with.
I don't know why but I can't resist winding up protesters like the above, or even better the chuggers on the high street. Some previous highlights have involved telling a Greenpeace chugger that I'm a futures consultant for BP and I identify which bits of land/rainforest are suitable to be purchased and developed for drilling and that it's fine as the Tigers aren't really endangered. A rather aggressive 'Save Palestine' man who wanted my money a couple of years ago was told that I couldn't give him anything as I work for BAE Systems as a relationship manager with the Israeli Defence Force. I got called some very unpleasant names after that, and he was actually spoken to by Police later in the day for his behaviour towards several Jewish students he'd been rather unpleasant towards.
It's very juvenile, and a little bit of a y thing to do, but I only do it to the noisy, pushy or aggressive ones. Makes me sound like a bit of a nob probably, but it makes me laugh anyway.

I had a Greenpeace candidate canvassing recently. It is watching the shock of an alternate point of view puncturing the insular holier-than-thou virtue-signaling bubble that is so satisfying. It's as if they spend all their time in safe-space echo chambers.

I've posted this before, but when I was in my teens I was walking down the pedestrian area of my local High Street on Saturday afternoon, and there were some Animal Rights activists with a table and display, canvassing for signatures, and I got buttonholed and the guy asked me if I wanted to sign their petition to "sort out man's inhumanity to animals" and I replied that I thought that we should sort out man's inhumanity to man first. It's funny how something like 30 years later I can still remember the exact words. What followed was the most extreme spittle-flecked torrent of verbal abuse I have ever experienced in my life - the guy was literally following me down the street screaming at me. I've never experienced anything like it since.

To be honest, I suspect he's trying to score internet points by making up something that didn't happen.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
