Swedish pothead reports LSD-laced hash

Agreed

Yes LSD is destroyed by the kind of heat found in a lighted joint; it also takes around 30 minutes to cross the blood-brain barrier IIRC. Whilst there may be some potent forms of weed out there, good quality LSD is a different kettle of fish entirely.

'Fat birds get laid sooner, have more one-night stands'

sheepishly also rasing hand

Me too, until very near the end. It was the small size of the sample group that had me twigging.

PayPal suspends India service

Me too

I agree. My wife runs a little online business that makes us a few hundred pounds in a good month, and PP is the only viable option with that kind of turnover.

I've been researching alternatives for a few years now, and none of them are both affordable and available worldwide.

Worldpay would seem to be the best option if turnover was to increase to several thousand pounds a month, but until then we're stuck with PP. It's unfortunate because PP have such an appalling reputation that using them as the only option must be enough to put off a lot of potential purchasers.

Greenock pensioners cuffed for Tesco 'sex romp'

Tsk.

At least they weren't wearing pyjamas.

French mock British G-spot probe

Agreed

My sentiments exactly.

Selfridges punts £1,800 Spanish ham

Expensive?

Try Fortnum and Mason's Caspian Beluga Caviar at £15,000 for a 1.8kg tin.

Yes, that's fifteen thousand pounds, but you get a lot of caviar for your money...

Brown offers free laptops to deprived UK schoolkids

Call me a cynic

but I expect a sharp increase in the number of laptops for sale on eBay. There may also be a related short-term spike in the profits of pubs in deprived areas.

Oz firm seeks talented IT developer

Back in the day

before PC and discrimination, we put an ad in the window for a "good looking 18 year old female" to work in the packing area, and had a number of applicants, one of whom filled the position admirably.

Wouldn't get away with it now.

Today is not New Year's Eve - or the end of the decade

When I was at school

a century year was a leap year when it was divisible by 400.

UK Border Agency delights with festive e-card

Tsk.

I was always taught that the correct form of conversational address would be "Sir Runcible".

'Steve Jobs' dupes blogosphere with AT&T protest hoax

Wouldn't work with O2

Their data network is either overloaded or down whenever I want to use it.

Loud sex woman coughs to ASBO breach

Brilliant

"...a face like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle."

That sir, is brilliant, and I shall be adding it to my repertoire with immediate effect.

German shoppers slug it out with salami

Brilliant

I nominate AC for comment of the week.

3 billion have suffered Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody'

Merry Christmas everybody!

As another paid-up member of the old farts club, I can assure you that in 1973 we needed all the halp we could get to cheer ourselves up, and this song went some way towards doing that. Another activity that helped was the entire team disappearing down the pub for several hours one day close to Christmas Eve. I can't recall exactly what day it was, althought I do recall that the boss was furious, but couldn't fire everyone.

Pig plague alert: Avoid missionary position

Ah, but....

If your partner has a nice ass, the view is awesome.

Boffins: Stress of family Xmas can cause fatal diseases

Festive nightmare

In my younger days it was a mandatory requirement that Christmas be spent at Mother's - with around 15 other people all crammed into her two-bedroomed flat. It was a total nightmare. I can vouch for the levels of stress associated with such cruel and inhumane treatment.

Cartoon smut law to make life sucky for Olympic organisers

The title is required.

“The London 2012 logo depicts the figure 2012 and nothing else.”

A bad case of head in the sand if you ask me.

Paris, because she knows all about giving head.

Loud sex a human right, says loud sex woman

Yesssssssssssss!!!!

My wife and I lived in a flat after getting married, and we made quite a bit of noise of the coital kind, as did our downstairs neighbours - she would shriek as he chased her around the flat before getting her into bed where the noise continued.

It's all a matter of give and take. We now live in an old detached house, and don't have to give a flying f**k about anyone else :)

Europe plots black boxes for cars

No problem

There will be by-pass kits on the market within days of these being fitted to new cars.

Black helicopters...
