Yeah, I've always thought that sort of thing was a bit odd. My mum insists on sending us anniversary cards, too, which is a day I thought was only celebrated by the people involved in the relationship.

Again, totally ok with this.

I see nothing wrong with this, in fact I actually think it's a good idea. This is father's day we're talking about, after all, so surely if there's any day to be spending time with the children who make you a father, this is it.

This was discussed at some length on the original thread. Someone (OnGreyStreet, if memory serves) said she'd asked her mum, who was a nurse, and she told us that green bananas give you constipation and yellow ones do the opposite.

Awful Black.

There aren't enough fuck yous in the world for these assholes.

Hahaha, coffee-spit of the week.

It may not be the laugh out loud funniest, but “sentient hate-balloon” is still my favourite.

I applaud your efforts (as a fellow Brit, married to an escaped American, no less) to speak sanity to this bullshit, but if you've had anywhere near as many "gun debates" with Americans on these types of issues as I have, I'm sure you realise that you're pissing in the wind.

If it wasn't for your all-pervasive gun culture, all those illegal guns wouldn't have been on the streets in the first place. Or are you one of those deluded types who thinks places like the UK are overrun by gangs of armed criminals, because "when you have no right to be armed, only the bad guys have guns"?

Ditto for the UK, only more so.

Couldn't they combine this with the Tomb Raider reboot?

I'm Brian, and so is my wife.

“Hyper mASSculine.”

“It is absolutely true that I do not have firsthand knowledge of Morrow’s penis, nor will I ever, due to my apparently unshakeable excess of self-respect and good judgment.”

It says something for the US/UK "special relationship", when the only thing I'm envious of America for is their president. A truly great man.

Indeed it is. It's where pies go to die, Harry.

That makes (at least) two of us.

Yeah, I don’t get it at all. Some of the inane bilge that appears on here gets all sorts of faux intellectual analysis, yet this fantastic piece of writing is singled out as being “one giant eye roll”.

Already the best article I'm likely to read all day, bravo.
