    You can defend these fuukers as much as you want.But they treat you and I the same way a shitty garage treats a car.
    Be afraid.Be very afraid.

    The BoH was an English failure, as for Paula Radcliffe, you're just on a wind up there.
    I suppose I had in mind anything within British history - either as a union or the Individual British nations.

    No, relative to her potential vs. major accolades.

    And OK you win, she is not famous for taking a shit in the street, she is famous for taking a piss in the street. That's much better.

    She also asthmatic, are you going to knock her for that as well?

    No. What has that got to do with anything?

    I was actually half-joking with Radcliffe; but the more people are getting defensive the more I'm inclined to dig the heels in.

    She pissed herself on camera then. Whatever really. It's hilarious and I think people are having a sense of humour bypass. The OP was clearly having a laugh with his third point.

    She didn't ''piss herself'' either. She took a piss on her way to winning the London Marathon and a fortune in the process.

    I think it's quite unfair to tar 157,000 doctors and 377,000 nurses in the NHS (2014 figures) with the same brush based on personal experience.

    You could always put your hands over your ears and shout "La la la la, can't hear you".

    It wasn't a piss, it was a poo. She had stomach cramp.

    Further:

    Privatisation of the utility companies.

    The 2010 England football team.

    Milton Keynes.

    Not even close. Cemeteries are full of failures though, of people that failed to keep breathing. Now that is the biggest fail of all! :p


    Jemini - nil points for the UK in 2003.
