factorama 09/05/07
I don't know if I'm allowed to do this, and especially so early but whatevs, everyone should know this.
Did you know the tuna is a great ocean giant. Capable of swimming at up to 50mph, many species regularly top 2m, with the prized Northern Bluefin reported to reach 4.5m on occasion.
fifty miles per hour?!! amazing.
hello everyone. hope you are all fine and dandy.
tuna in for tomorrow's eciting episode....
Morning chunty, how goes it this Wednesday?

this wednesday going well so far, although I am already behind on work so this may change quite soon....

I really should start some work, but...meh...

thats a big fucking fish
oh, it doensn't look how i wanted it to look
:(
how did you want it to look?
I'm not sure
maybe a lot bigger and cuter and dumber.
that thing looks like a killing machine.
its even more amazing
how they manage to fit it into such small tins then
my first thought too...
those aren't tins!
those are ickle baby tunas still in their eggs
Did you know
that Hamid Karzai, before become leader of post-invasion Afghanistan, was a consultant for UNOCAL - the oil consortium seeking to build a pipeline across Afghanistan
adolf hitler was referred to eminent jewish psychobabblist sidmund freud
he chose not to go. whether this was because of the jewishness or he had a particularly challenging piece of hate to monger is unknown.
I
think it was probably because he didn't want to get charged 4,000 schekles just to be told that he was in love with his mother
he's no schmuck
but sigmund had some chutzpah!
Don't be such a schlep...
hitler only had half as much chutzpah though
the other's in the albert hall, right?
jah

An on this day fact from TV Times
On 9th May 1671 Thomas Blood was caught trying to steal the crown jewells from the Tower of London. He was inexplicably pardoned by Charles II fuelling rumours of an inside job.
thats fucking rank
I think I am scared of frogs

Excellent fact
and good to see someone new kicking Fact-o-rama off this morning.
putting on a brave face eh joey?
I bet you are seething.
I'm getting pretty sick of this
I'm sorry
*hugs*
I know you don't think you rule fact-o-rama.
On this day in 1955
West Germany joined Nato.
In 1916
the Canadian town of Berlin, Ontario changed it's name to Kitchener due to anti-German sentiment of the time.
After
becoming the first Indian Cricketer to take a test match hatrick, spinner Harbhajan Singh was rewarded with an offer to become the Deputy Superintendent of the Punjab Police.

Guntrip and I accosted a bloke in an AWK t-shirt in the toilets of the Windmill on Sunday. He didn't seem to mind.
happy birthday Paul Heaton
Truly a giant of the pop single.
Also, I have been reading 'untold stories' by Alan Bennet on/off for a year now. Its very good, but hard work.
It would be for you
Knock it off.
yes
yes it would because we are not all as smart as you, are we? You pompous, middle class, smarmy arsehole. Go and fucking winge about being poor even though you have never wanted for anything in your life, you CUNT.
*whinge
shit, SHIT.
middle class?
Yes that's right
*slow handclap*
And yet you tell me your parents could have bought and sold the Stock Exchange, whilst I was still sharing a room with my brother at 18 years old.
Good one Craig
I still share a room with my brother now
you still coming round for the cup final? You will have to bring your own quails eggs, they don't do them in the slum that is Borehamwood. Prick.
Yes
I am. I'll bring you some jellied eels. Presumably your parents have gone to the Whitsundays for a month's jolly with all their working class cash.
No
they are in the algarve with the money they earned by working hard. You could take a leaf out of their book.
How
'new money' to go to the Algarve. Yuk
I'll smash your face in
You can try
I have just been informed
that today is the 50th birthday of the Helvetica font.

Only just saw that, sorry. No, it was someone in the office that mentioned it.
Did you know
that during World War II the only food in Britain not rationed was Fish & Chips?
I didn't know that
Presumably on the grounds that "there's plenty more fish in the sea". Which is fine for consoling a dumped mate but a fairly short-sighted way of looking at the North Sea cod population.
Don't
you sound like my girlfriend who will only eat sustainable fish. BORING
I guess it was a cheap way of keeping people chipper (!)
LOL
Nah, battered cod and tinned tuna are two of my favourite things, and they're both on the way out, if the gastrohippies are to be believed. My local chippy does a good line in skate wings, though.
I make a point of eating Cod
to get my fill before it runs out.
Its running out
because of the size of 'your fill'
haddock > cod
it's all we eat in yorkshire and we're closer to whitby so we must be right.
I do like
Haddock, but you get it far less down here.
especially since dave stopped being vegetarian
You're on fire today
(I wish)
you started all this
with one of your typical snidey comments.
They always
have to cook haddock in the chippy, cod's always readily available. Hence why I eat fish cakes.
fucking southerners, raping our oceans.
Your oceans first
then your women.
you forgot the mines
and your steel factories
