“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The absolute and appalling state of PommieBastardLande

Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...

The GR8est show on ice

I am not a big hockey fan, simply because I do not watch sports, in general, unless it involves two men standing in a ring or octagon, beating the snot out of each other. However, given our Canuckistani friends like to say that hockey is basically MMA on ice –...
“Jaw-jaw” vs “war-war”

“Jaw-jaw” vs “war-war”

The quote falsely attributed to Lord Winston Churchill goes something like, “jaw-jaw is better than war-war”. This is not quite what he actually said, which went something like, “Meeting jaw-to-jaw is better than war”. This is one of those odd instances where Winnie...

For those of you who follow Christian polemics against Izzlam, you will be aware of Tha Dizzle’s recent call-to-arms, in which he stated bluntly that 2025 is going to be the greatest year for the subject in its entire history: We are no longer in the dark days of the...

Today is Pi Day, and that will mean precisely NOTHING to the 99.14159265897% of you who are not, for some strange reason, tickled by numerological nitwittery, the way maths majors (like me) are. Of course, I can hardly blame you for this. Irrational constants like π...
The filthiest poast of all time

The filthiest poast of all time

Gentlemen, before you proceed, I must warn you to remove any children from the vicinity of your computer. Make sure you open this poast in a private browsing tab, so your wife or girlfriend cannot find out what you have been watching. Everything you see from now on is...
Peace is in sight

Peace is in sight

The past few days have seen a rate of change in American politics that has most observers reeling and reaching for the sick bags – not because these changes are bad, necessarily, though to the minds of the more liberal commentators, they surely are. Rather, it is...
