It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

First topic message reminder :

A booze-pilfering drunken feral pig has caused chaos by running amok at an Australian campsite and starting a fight with a cow.

The belligerent porker went on a drunken bender after stealing and drinking three six-packs of beer that had been left out by campers at the DeGrey River campsite in Port Hedland, Australia.

In the predictable series of events that followed the animal went on to ransack rubbish bin bags to find some late-night snacks before starting a fight with an innocent eyewitness cow.

Following the boarish rampage the pig decided to swim out into the middle of a river before collapsing drunk under a tree and falling asleep.

One camper named Merida recounted the tale to the ABC network: "It was in the middle of the night and it was these people camping opposite us and they heard this crunching of the can and they got their torch out and shone it on the pig and there he was scrunching away at their cans."

"Then he went and raided their rubbish that they had sort of covered over with a bin as well.

"And then there was some other people camped right on the river and they saw him running around their vehicle being chased by a cow.

"It was going around and around and then it went into the river and swam across to the middle of the river.

"The people that were camped on the river went across and crept up on it and it was hiding and sleeping under a big log right on the edge of the water."

"It was sort of coming from there for a couple of days but we didn't see it this morning or last night."

thankfully I don't have a sweet tooth at all, otherwise I would be screwed I expect.

Went to the gym for the first time in ages last night, and I am feeling it this morning. Out with friends in the south tonight so should be a laugh.

Hoping today flies by, and I am sufficiently busy today to make it so.

Prior to when you started posting in it, there's probably a link there I suspect.

600 + comments on my boxing thread. Am I going to get a thread split? It's unprecedented stuff.

Morning!

Morning Rowley you fat populist git. All good in the hood?

Shame you don't put the same kind of effort into the culture cup.

Nope, just you Rick.

I do however, detest more than anything in life, sitting on a toilet seat and it's warm.

It's like literally touching bums.

I'm with Rick on this one. I've witnessed too many horrors not to approach a closed toilet lid with a massive sense of trepidation. I imagine its the same feeling that the police get when they're called to a house of an elderly person with milk bottles piling up outside.

While I agree that you certainly are an advert for birth control pills, it was never cool to hate tino. It was natural like Rowley s gut and Serials bald head or Sean's sexual failures. Stop taking credit for nature in progress.

Exactly, I've seen some things man...

You weren’t day one. Not even close.

Me and Galted were talking b*llocks on the old Culture Cup rd 6 thread for weeks before anyone else got involved and it morphed in the thing of beauty it is now.

That is why Galted will forever be my 2nd favourite (after rICk) poster on here.

Those certainly were the days, back when I could use my work PC to post, you worked in the City, and I hadn't yet been to Reykjavik, and I didn't have a cat.  Getting all misty-eyed thinking about the tremendous amount of b*llocks we used to talk.
I love you so damn much that I'd give you a free 4K TV home cinema bundle if I worked for a company like Samsung or Richer Sounds and I had after-hours access to the stockroom.

Do you ever visit Wrap It Up these days, Galted?

Surprised you found time to post, Tino. Black Friday at B&Q - you must be rushed off your feet.

I do, Super. Though the one I used to use exists no longer and the minute Italian bird has disappeared along with it.

I do miss the old Wrap it Up lunchtime reviews.

Unfortunately they're far too complex to be done by phone.

Has Serial posted on here since his new look happened?

I'm not Lord Taylor of Blackburn

Alas Lord Taylor Julius Marx of Blackburn, I knew him well.

Christ on a mobility scooter, you've beaten me to it.

No.... oh wait a minute!!!! Black Friday at B & Q.. Heaven! Loads of money off stuff for chopping hacking maiming etc and plenty of pushy c**** in the queue to follow home at a safe distance and try my purchases out on. Black Friday followed by Crimson Saturday

I'm not Fidel Castro.

How many old people in the world can there be?!!!

You've the luck of the Devil you old bugger

Gutentag Notcherinos

Morning Shah, good weekend?

Did the job but could use another 5 days off. What about yours?

Similar to be honest mate, very busy weekend, but I have a short week this week, and I am away next week to the Belgian Christmas markets with the missus, so looking forward to chilling for a while.

Excellent, Lord willing my holidays will be granted so will be on holidays from this Friday to 03 Jan

You doing anything with them or just kicking back and keeping the harem in check?

Kicking back and kicking front. With Hassan still prone to a cold should the fridge door open for more than 2 seconds this winter is confined to the home but will enjoy the much needed mental rest and physical exertion.

I just need a few lie ins to be honest, Christmas generally goes nuts to be fair.

Did you get to see the boxing over the weekend?

Watched kung fu hustle on Friday night, then watched it twice Saturday night as well so missed every sporting event after splitting my sides and banging my head into the ground

Kung Fu Hustle is in my top 5 films of all time, absolute quality. The follow up Shaolin Soccer wasn't nearly as good though.

The blend of seriousness and utter insanity with mind bending fight scenes with a hint of rope trickery did the job for the first one.

The opening sequence is quality and when "The Lovers" fight "The Musicians" is great to watch.

You'll never get sophisticated posters life Jeff and myself on this thread if you insist on chatting about such sh*t films.

Have you watched Moulin Rouge lately Galted?

Fact of the day

President Obama’s secret-service nickname is ‘Renegade’. Ronald Reagan’s nickname was ‘Rawhide’, Bill Clinton’s was ‘Eagle’ and George W. Bush was known as ‘Trailblazer’

Monty Python’s Life of Brian was marketed in Sweden as ‘The film that’s so funny, it was banned in Norway.’

Although they didn’t meet until they were teenagers, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria were born in the same year and delivered by the same midwife.

Spitalfields in London used to be known as Lolsworth.

The Irish name for jellyfish is smugairle róin, which literally translates as ‘seal’s snot’.

If a silkworm is exposed to pure carbon dioxide, it crawls around aimlessly, apparently trying to remember what it’s supposed to be doing.

The average Briton suffers from 9,672 minor injuries over the course of a 78-year lifespan.

In response to a question from a 5 year old, the Royal Mail has calculated that it would cost £11,602.25 to send a letter to Mars. (isn’t that the normal price of 1st class today?)

The population of Ireland is still smaller than it was before the Great Famine of 1845.

The Duke of Wellington’s horse, Copenhagen, died from eating too many sponge cakes, bath buns and chocolate creams.

I have not, Julius, not lately and not ever.

The Afrikaans word for a porcupine is "ystervark" which, literally translated, means "iron pig".

To paraphrase Alan Partridge - they're paying the price for being fussy eaters.
