    Proper pasties rock:

    Beef skirt
    Onion
    Potato
    A little water
    Shortcrust pastry
    Salt 'n' pepper

    My Mum came from Cornwall so any dissent is basically saying my Mother is a liar.

    Clotted cream is great so is the ale.

    Yarg cheese? Not for me.

    High-street fashion, chart music and youth culture.

    New Labour didn't invent 'Cool Britannia', they just tried to expoit it.

    pi55 money up the wall?

    debt?

    give free houses away to scumbags whilst making decent people pay massive prices?

    tax people for buying somewhere to live?

    Insist that scumbags have enough room for their street rat feral kids, whilst not giving a damn about the room for decent people's kids?

    welcome to britain - where we care about you - unless you work and pay tax, whereby we screw you instead.
