When I rule the world ...........

Post by webberg »

Things will change.

Snakepit to be established to hold:

Pan pipes and pipers
mime artists
Reality show contestants
Ant and Dec
Diving footballers
Centre lane drivers
All celebrity bimbos (both sexes)
Shop assistants who talk to each other instead of serving you
Esther Rantsen
Jeremy Clarkson
People who stop on pavements for no reason


I'm sure you can add some more..

will need to be a very big very deep pit in order to hold all current members of the government and all those who are "politically correct".

Pit size is not a problem as they can dig it themselves and do some honest work for a change!

(Is that hypocritical from a tax planner?) :oops:

I'd invest a shed load of tax payers money into inventing a 5% beer that has no calories and C2 recommend it when you row.

Budozade or something catchy like that

Can we throw a tape machine playing 'on hold' musak into the pit?

Fabulous idea Janet - go ahead - providing the pit is sound proofed of course

Come the revolution the following should start running....

criminal defence solicitors (just how do they sleep at night )

Haliburton employees (that includes the President and the majority of the Republican party)

Politicians, sorry they ALL lie

Judges who give 9 month sentences to paedophiles but seven years for tax offences

BBC correspondents (i thought you were supposed to report not give personal comment)

Daily Mail readers

Current boss of the MPS

Anyone who in a meeting says energy, holistic, blue sky (unless it is the summer and they are commenting upon the weather)

Stop broadcasting stupid American 'teen soaps' and (even worse) get that 'Power Ranger' cr8p off the TV forever

Get Barry Manilow out of retirement to show these young whipper-snapper a thing or two about singing.

put Kate Beckinsales' picture on the first class stamp


but above all that (even KB) make St. Georges Day a bank holiday

Kate beckinsale, if she plays her cards right she could have me. She is the best. If I find out she rows I WILL leave my wife. Just have to get over the small hurdle of making me attractive to her. Anyone on the team got a spare $50 million. Good cause. :wink:

Run it past the better half the other day (I was a little leathered at the time) that if hyperthectically (speeling never a strong point of mine) I was working up London in one of the hotels and Kate Beckinsale was looking for a bit of 'ruff' for the night would she mind?

"You really are very sad" was the dry response.

Argh thats a good point Mr BigWaveDave.

I guess that means there's still a chance.

I've just a quick calculation on my highly scientific probability calculator and its not good though.

I reckon my chances are around 83 billion to 1

Well, in that case, I suggest you try it on the day after you've won the lottery. At only 14 million to one, that should be relatively easy, AND it'll save us lending you any cash!

Anyway, surely it's only about 3 billion to one, unless you get the literal 'not if you were the last man on the planet' result...

Thomas, Thomas, Thomas get your head out of the sand my good man.

She is the hottest actress from our very own shores - maybe not the most talented but who gives a sh1t when she looks that hot. :D

We need to get the PM3/4 SDK and see whether we can add a back drop to the screen - a picture of our Katey will surely get us PBs by the score and on the moon and back by Xmas!!

Fellas if Kate Beckinsale was on the moon begging for it I'd row there all by myself. :D

Janet - you can discuss Daniel Craig if you want. We won't stop you - we just may fail to appreciate what you consider to be his finer points!

Is it sad that after the initial 'phwroar - will you look at that body??!!' my next thought was - 'but I wonder what sort of 2k time he can pull?' :shock:

....and another thing......

Well across the pond, the public has voted George Clooney as "the sexiest man in America" for the 2nd time.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/ ... index.html

How come guys with grey hair are considered sexy and women with grey hair "old and unkept"? Would Kate still be considered "hot" with grey hair?

Now, Janet, that _is_ sad!!! I think the rowing is really starting to get to you!

Mind you, I have caught myself thinking on a few occasions, 'very nice, but there's no way she'll be able to pull a decent finish in with those in the way'... :roll:

Rita - beats me re: the grey hair thing. Does seem a bit unfair, yes, but then the fairer sex are so much better at dying their hair anyway...
