@gollum Surely that was satire? WTF?!
well, it was Fox News... so sure.. but no, they & their viewer see it as real.
The Fox coverage of this storm is excellent. They are only barely above screaming "we are all going to die!". I'm still waiting for the "Why has Jesus done this?" and a straight faced analysis of the number of gays in each county.
Hilariously its heading straight sor Trumps estate

Add another bow to the things that I am but cannot be proud of it seems.
- White

1 of these things is not like the others. i have never understood pride in things that are not accomplishments, rather that you were born with. i guess gay not-having-to-be-ashamed-anymore parade doesn't have the same ring to it, but still... why anyone thinks that they should be proud of having been born black or white or male or female or straight or gay is beyond me.
there is at least a reason for oppressed minority groups (mis)using the word pride, in that they have been made to feel ashamed of what they are, or of less worth, and there is consequent widespread underachievement, criminality, depression, suicide, drug abuse etc in these groups. People want to fix these things, so they try to promote 'pride' in the grouping characteristic, when what they really want is pride in the individuals - i.e. not to feel proud of themselves for being gay, but to think that being gay is not negative and to feel proud of themselves. sorry to hear that you need a hand up too mate.I got married in a kilt.
I apologise profusely for any pride I may have felt at that time on behalf of my heritage.
Me too.
Still wear it to formal occasions.
Does tend to attract dodgy women that want to put their hand up up to check if you are wearing undies though.

@taniwharugby Breakfast TV is only for housewifes and retirees. Who the fuck cares!

So, is there a Tostee-Wright Tinder "incident" thread on here?
Or is no-one interested? I haven't looked very hard for mention of it on TSF. There was all sorts of tabloid gossip out in the previous couple of years as to what a prick Tostee supposedly was / is, but the trial has been "strangely" short of Stuff style gossip and is long on facts.
I find it fascinating.

The bit I heard on the radio suggested they had a fight, she ran out on the balcony and attempted unsuccessfully to climb to the balcony below.
Again I've heard fuck all but looks like there won't be enough to actually convict him.

Fucken hell @jegga, is it too much to ask that you tag me in posts like this ? I've been out of the office a lot of today and could have easily missed it.
