back to article One man went to mow a meadow, hoping Trump would spot giant grass snake under flightpath

Here's hoping Trump spotted the welcome willy at the Essex village of Hatfield Heath when he flew into London Stansted Airport this morning for his UK state visit. An A-level student reportedly spent the weekend mowing a giant todger into the grass of his family home under the main flightpath, along with an "Oi Trump" caption …

One can only hope that Boeing engineers saw fit to implement some sort of software system to augment the manoeuvring characteristics.

      hydrocarbons vs ATP

      So two fields, two committed Greens. Given the choice of low carbon, sustainable horticulture, choose a scythe*, or a power mower. Ponder on the advantages of hyrdocarbons.

      OK, perhaps not.. although fun to wield and fast, also require some skill to avoid involuntary amputations. I guess for bonus points, could compare CO2 produced from exercise vs sitting on a lawnmower.

      I don't know about the US, but in the UK leaving home before finishing school is usually reserved for the more unfortunate cases of family breakdown. However, according to the linked article he does run an online marketplace, so technically he's got one already.

      Edit: use of the word "gaff" suggests a UK poster, not realising an A-level student isn't really expected to have moved out of their parents' home suggests non-UK. So who knows...

      Its like assault being bad unless the target is lefty approved. Or tax avoidance is ok if its lefty approved. But then crying on the street because Hillary lost is pretty childish.

      On the plus side steve I hear some of our political fools have self selected not to meet the president so he is spared the likes of Corbyn for example.

          Instead of throwing juvenile insults are our POTUS, why not back up some of your claims with some facts? I would love to hear more about how he has acted like Hitler or Mussolini? Can you show me where he's hiding the death camps? (and, no, the over crowded holding facilities for ILLEGALS doesn't compare to Auschowitz, and if you make that comparison then you have to acknowledge that these were running, in worse conditions, under your beloved Obama [blessed be our Great Obama).

          We could make this easier, maybe you can list some of the "crimes" Trump has committed (please show your work). Remember, the definition of a crime is "breaking an existing law". So if you list something you perceive as "unjust" or "unfair" (God knows you little snowflakes can't bear unfairness) that there isn't a law saying you can't do it, really just doesn't count as a "crime". I know this is a hard concept for a generation of folks who got trophies for losing little league games, but try real hard, after all, you are so much smarter than us.

          Maybe you hate Trump because of what he's done to our country in the last 2 years... Let's see, lower unemployment, we're now exporting energy (gas, coal, oil) instead of getting it all from the middle east... hmm no that doesn't work.

          Perhaps it's because he's racist? Hmm, 1.3 million black people have jobs who didn't during Obama...

          Well, it must be because he stomps on the constitution all the time. After all he's signed 276 executive orders to bypass Congress and basically used his pen like a King passing down edicts... oh, wait, that was Obama who did that...

          Well, I'm sure you'll think of something. After all, you want him Impeached, so there must be a real Zinger out there (High Crimes and Misdemeanors right?)

          Well, maybe I understand now why you're just throwing childish insults. You really don't have any thing between those buns do you? Yea, I didn't think so.

            "Auschowitz"?

            Moving on.

            Turns out we get most of our oil from domestic sources, then Latin American sources, Then Canadian sources and finally about 1/12th of it from the Persian Gulf. We get almost as much from Africa as we do from the Persian Gulf, so call it less than 1/6th overall sourced off the North and South American continents.

            The Arabian Oil component of our energy budget would seem to be significant, but not strategic, something that could be made up with renewables if OPOTUS wasn't afraid the noise of windmills would give us all cancer (his own words, from his own hands, in print; don't shoot the messenger).

              Was it because I pointed out the mis-spelling of "Auschwitz" I wonder, something the auto spell-checker in just about ever piece of software that cares would have spotted?

              Perhaps it was because I didn't cite my sources for the oil import data I quoted? I just pulled up google and typed in "Where does the US get its oil from?" and used the first result (which happened to be NPR, but I would have used one from FOX had there been one).

              If it was because of the "Windmill noise causes cancer" remark, that is a direct quote from OPOTUS himself, made by the great man about two or three weeks ago. As I said before, don't blame me for that one.

              It occurs to me that the 1/6th shortfall of oil sourced from Arabian and African wells could also be ameliorated by making domestic use of Freedom Gas instead of selling it.

            So if you list something you perceive as "unjust" or "unfair" (God knows you little snowflakes can't bear unfairness) that there isn't a law saying you can't do it, really just doesn't count as a "crime".

            Capitalising "God" suggests you believe in Him. Tell me, what does God have to say about "fair" or for that matter the manner in which immigrants are treated? Or is all that stuff about "not oppressing" and "do not show favouritism" not valid since it's Trump and its followers doing it? If you do follow God, then lets see if you can answer this - what is the Biblical backing for Trump's actions? How does his behaviour - especially his treatment of immigrants (illegal, potential or otherwise) fit with "Love your neighbour". Or does he think screwing/molesting everything he can get his filthy little hands on is obeying "love your neighbour"?

            Perhaps it's because he's racist? Hmm, 1.3 million black people have jobs who didn't during Obama...

            That doesn't mean he's NOT racist - just look at the garbage he spouted about Mexicans and those from countries further south.

            Your country, once respected, is now one of the most hated in the world. Allegiences are being broken, a very bad recession seems about to start (whereas under Obama you had a growing economy - all those people who now have jobs got them because of the legacy of past governments, not because

            of this twit).

            But not of that is why I dislike him. Mine is simply based on the fact that he is a vile evil person, very selfish and exceptionally harmful to others. This psychopath you have as POTUS is not there for your benefit - if you benefit that's purely by luck. He is there for his benefit and his alone, and will not care the least who he harms along the way. His compulsive lying, his preaching violence towards those who disagree with him, his abuse of women (and, if the cases that have strangely been silenced are to be believed, little girls), his grandstanding and expecting everyone to like him - all show him to be a psychopath (thanks to the AC at https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/containing/3792921 for pointing me to "The Psychopath Test").

            You will come to regret having him anywhere near any position of power.

First, Trump has repeatedly insulted others' appearances, and so he definitely moves into the 'fair game' category, especially given his own Mr Blobby physique, interesting hair, and inability to pronounce standard English words. For your information, I included the punctuation missing from your post. Of course, it is not necessary for you, since you are not of limited thought.

        "It[']s like assault being bad unless the target is lefty approved. Or tax avoidance is ok if it[']s lefty approved. But then crying on the street because Hillary lost is pretty childish."

        Again, I think the only cases where assault is reasonable is when someone who repeatedly assaults or incites assault on others is then assaulted, because it would fall under 'just desserts'. Even then, if we are talking about physical violence -- having a milkshake thrown in your face is not physical violence -- then I do not approve even if the target is an extreme politician.

        I have never heard anyone justify tax evasion/avoidance by any organizations.

        Crying on the street because Hillary Clinton lost -- examples, please? -- is a little over the top, but could be justified if you are one of the targets of Trump's campaign. You know, foreigners, women, the educated, etc..

          "In general it isn't OK to insult someone's appearance, yes. First, Trump has repeatedly insulted others' appearances, and so he definitely moves into the 'fair game' category"

          Thats true. Although he was set upon as soon as he joined the race. But of course he can dish it out as well as he gets it and thats fine. And please dont correct the punctuation, I prefer the mindless to be distracted by it as the point flies over their head.

          "Again, I think the only cases where assault is reasonable is when someone who repeatedly assaults or incites assault on others is then assaulted, because it would fall under 'just desserts'."

          Eye for an eye? We moved on from that didnt we from the tribes to a system of laws. So those assaulting can be arrested, such as when they throw milkshakes at politicians. And that is physical violence. And inciting violence would also be 'the milkshake challenge' then. But in this upside down world the victim is an 'extreme' politician.

            You really never watched his campaign speeches, any thing from him since he got into office, or read any of his tweets did you?

            Maybe if you paid attention to the stuff he spouts you'd find out why defending him is, well, rather indefensible.

              Yes I have. And there are plenty of actual things to complain about, real reasons to dislike him. But those perpetually looking to take offence and complain about nothing dilute any serious complaints against him.

              "Maybe if you paid attention to the stuff he spouts you'd find out why defending him is, well, rather indefensible."

              He has been unelectable and was elected president so being indefensible and being defended seems about right. Especially with the accusations usually levelled at him.

    W.R.T Climate change... I don't think Trump doubts it. Just the man made part. BTW, he pulled out of Paris Accord and the US still lowered their CO2 output at a greater percentage than most other countries. (Goodbye Coal, Hello Natural Gas) But hey! if you want to cut that in to a field, knock yourself out.

    You could even have said "F____ Trump!" In the states we have this thing called the First Amendment.

    The one thing I saw that wasn't funny... the 'Trump poopy robot.' Not well executed. Sorry, but really a piss poor hack. There was so much more that he could have done and done better.

    But hey, the one thing about Trump. Man child or not. He was elected POTUS. I mean if you want to get down to it. Trudeau of Canada, Boris soon to be UK Prime Minister.. all are goofs. Not 'Presidential' material, if you believe the press.

    But we will survive.

      Obama's backing of Remain's Project Fear was one of the greatest triumphs of The Leave campaign.

      Leave would never have won the June 2016 referendum if Cameron and Osborne had supported it.

    Bit baffling as to why The Register should be so dumb as to feed the deranged Trump's vanity by essaying the definitive article to nourish his own preening self-regard as America's absolutely definitive President.

    'The Donald' is a term of affection most suited to a pet duck or any heroic figure of well-nigh legendary status, neither of which Trump is nor could ever be, even if a resonance exists with the former: looks like a clown, talks like a clown, is a clown.
