Fighting The War On Terror One Pound At A Time

I had the pleasure of dropping somebody off at Belfast International Airport the other day. The airport had the genius idea recently of making everybody who wanted to pick up or drop off anybody pay a pound.

I can just, and I mean just, about see how you could justify charging to pick up as idiots were always getting there way too early and hogging the few spaces.

But how I wondered did they justify charging to drop off? Something that takes all of two minutes. See if you can guess.

Did you say to thwart terrorists? The airport is obviously targeting the terrorist who buys his balaclava from Lidl. Not like those fancy 9/11 terrorists with their plane tickets and flight training. No, they want to stop the careless terrorist who blows his entire budget on bomb making equipment.

Your pound doesn’t even pay for an attendant or security guard. You get the same bored looking policeman you always got and a basket to throw you terrorist tax into.
I was powerless to avoid paying this levy but I still wanted to make a point.

Hurrah for permanent markers and a potty mouth!

Fly my golden sweary wonder FLY!

Today’s Daily Mail cover is a classic. Who knew of Brucie’s involvement in the Moat investigation?

Yes I did buy a copy just for this image. I intend to offset this by kissing a lesbian immigrant.

Seriously What Were They Thinking

Each nation is known for it’s fauna and flora. Mexican cacti, Austrian edelweiss, Dutch tulips and the Irish shamrock for example.  I imagine the conversation that took place when England decided on what plant we’d be famous for went a bit like this…

Right guys I’ve got just the plant for us, you’ll love it. It’s green, yes I know lots of plants are green. Flowers? Well not really flowers as such, it does get a little fluffy if you leave it long enough. Size, well it’s quite small really, no it doesn’t have an interesting shape, it’s very straight.

Here’s the best part, you’ll have to grow thousands of them and they’ll look really terrible unless you spend every weekend going over them with a special machine. You also have to remove any other plant that grows anywhere near it which they’ll want to.

Of all the plants we can grow why did we decide we were going to be known for our bloody grass lawns.
