it's like that game over on imdb.com where all the characters of a film/ show start off at five, then the next person adds a point to a character they like, and subtracts another for a character they don't.

I suppose it would work on day to day tick boxes. For example today (making it 10) :

Daily Mail and Express typical headlines:

"Illegals" = 12 (+2) would have to be at least, amount of coverage on this recently

Hoodies = 10 (-1) don't think has been a good hoodie story for at least two days

Political Correctness = 10

Deplorable State of the Nation = 11 (violent stabbing of youth)

Lost control of our borders = 12 (see above)

Camilla = 10

Paranoia = 12 (this one could go off the scale)

Hats = 10

<<any young blond woman>> = 10

Diana = 10 (though needs at least a - 5 given her absence this week, where is she?)

Or I have been procrastinating too much, will be quiet now. :roll:

It might be just me, but why is the BBC thinking of hiring an accountant from the Belgian Congo, especially one with such poor grasp of the English language

And it might just be me, but why is the Mail thinking of hiring a moron from the "silent majority", especially one with such a poor grasp of anything.

I'm not opposed in principle to recycling, even though I did use to drive round Crouch End in a Citroën Dyane with a 'Nuclear Power, Yes Please' sticker in the back window, just to wind up the local branch of Greenpeace. (The 'Nuke the Whales' T-shirt worked, too)

I throw out enough newspapers every week to keep all the members of London's rough sleepers community in bedding for a year

If the authorities really cared about pollution, they'd take a tougher line on illegal gipsy sites and their ubiquitous, attendant rubbish dumps which scar our green-and-pleasant.

Ahem, my other job is working for a recycling organisation (the rest of the time I'm an agony aunt) and I'm wondering where Littledick thinks his rubbish goes. We're an island nation, there is only so much landfill. If he thinks gyspies leave a mess, I think he should considered how much he'd like a landfill site in his back garden. They aren't pretty or nice smelling.

The Mail can't bear the fact that a lot of public sector jobs are advertised in the Guardian. I suspect that their antipathy to this has as much to do with advertising revenue as politics.

And why are those jobs more likely to be advertised in the Guardian than in the Mail? Well, it might have something to do with this combination of facts: (a) advertisers like to place adverts where they'll maximise the target audience, and (b) what self-respecting public sector worker would read a paper which treats them like scum much of the time?

I think he also suggested that environmentalists should be 'taken outside and clubbed like baby seals'.

Bet it took his ages to think that one up.

he's got plenty of money, if he wanted to help them maybe he could give them some!

Oh now, LittleBitStupid is making fun of environmental and green issues! How very original and not at all boring and dreary.

"LOL hippies!"

I think I've been slacking off with my recycling. I should step it up, just to annoy Littlejohn and his ilk. Even if I didn't care about landfill and environmental damage, it'd be worth it for that reason alone

(as an aside, I saw a website that makes these cool kitschy bags out of old cartons and wrappers. I should find the link to that. Oh, and the link to the recycled and fairtrade trainers. I await Littlejohn's idiot rant against fairtrade goods sometime in the future)

let's take a photo of littlejohn's newspaper columns being recycled and send it to him

Jollity · **Posted:** Sat May 20, 2006 12:01 am

We could compare and contrast a picture of the DM with a picture of some recycled paper toilet roll. "To a better future!"

(always remember to wait until your copy of the Daily Mail has been sucessfully turned into toilet paper before wiping your arse on it :lol:

)

They're updating the site at the moment so it looks like crap, but they're you can find those bags via a link from here, along with a whole load of other things that are recycled.

I wonder if it pains Littlejohn to know that the Mail is entirely recycled, not just the content, but the paper it's printed on.

Ha! Hating on recycling just because you suspect that some of the people who encourage it might be a bit left wing? Pathetic

At least Call Me Dave (that nickname gets more hilarious the more it's used I reckon) is trying to stop the right being so goddamn selfish, stupid and ignorant of the enivornment. Maybe if they had been that way from the start the planet might not be in such a mess?
