The No T$ No B$ Thread

[Bitter but optimistic 22,066]

Apples and bananas dc! Try comparing pumpkins (or, as the more rurally challenged might say punkins) and golf balls! I've spent the best part of today doing just that.

Poor old Bitter is a tad cash strapped at the moment so the notion of changing gas and electricity suppliers held some appeal.

I've spoken to a variety of people with a variety of accents and it seems impossible to get a direct answer about what said services will cost. Good Lord, I even resorted to studying things called websites.

There is no standardisation in how deals are framed. Even my good self who can claim to be at least moderately literate and numerate is left flummoxed. 

If you crave a little self flagellation, don't bother dusting off the whip, just start researching energy costs

FMD

And ... just to top a shitty day off - there is a suggestion that the tax on vino is heading towards the stratosphere

FMD again.

Goon! 

Goon is forbidden at The Manor dc ( well unless I'm very short of the ready)

Biffen, however, considers it the ultimate accompaniment to a fine meal of baked beans.

Whereas you, Uncle, would rather a CC and dry with a lime twist over ice with your baked beans?

Mrs Frog loves her CC and Dry, but it can only be in a glass container.

Well done Toady. You're catching on!

Next you'll be understanding double entendres

Is fosters lager still made? Haven't seen one in ages.

Bet it's getting retold by Demonlanders as we speak. Comedy gold Uncle! No denying it.

Well fellow illuminati, I'm sure you will all agree there is nothing like some intellectual stimulation while slurping down the Saturday morning chocolate filled maple syrup bathed and bacon wrapped croissants.

May I refer you to today's Age and an article titled - "Men- only day spas the new gentleman's club". The article focusses on a New York clinic that specialises in various medical and beauty treatments for blokes - no sheilas allowed.

"Non invasive penile enlargement" is available for a mere $6000 but there is a catch - it only lasts 2 years.

In what I thought was an interesting juxtaposition, "anal tightening procedures" are also on the menu. There is a "laser treatment" option for this.

In a country that carries the death sentence for drug trafficking this has to rate as a way out means of marriage proposal:

IPOH: This Christmas Eve would be unforgettable for 20-year-old administrator Yew Kar Yee after she saw the love of her life hauled away by auxiliary police personnel for the possession of an illegal substance at the Sultan Azlan Shah airport.

But that is not the reason why it is particularly memorable.

She was overwhelmed with relief and happiness when she learned that it was all just a staged act, planned by her sweetheart Cheung Chan Choon, 30, who popped the big question to her.

Merry Christmas guys from the Equator

Fosters lager and Crown lager are the same beer apparently.

Important article in Fairfax press by a girl who does't like fruit peel in her Christmas Cake.

The Age once again dealing with the real news.

And the ever charming Clementine Ford wrote a gem about being lonely at Christmas (is it any wonder).

Can we blame Uncle for this as well?
