I loved his gem of a title that started off ‘Should we tax Fat people?’ then had some sort of disclaimer like ‘[Not the real title]’ which turned out to be ‘bait’ to attract people to discuss what the government should provide. As Gordon Ramsey would say, “You fucking donkey!” ---

Sure, they look like people, but as soon as they start talking you realize they want to lactate and drink their own milk or something. ---

Off subject but you ever notice how–when a member who plays mafia makes a topic–a lot of mafia players reply? I count six of them in this thread alone. Sorry, on with your regularly, scheduled pitting. ---

> [@Autolycus](#): > > Has anyone notified **Pimms** of this thread? Protocol and what-not. No, no one did. I just logged on now after a hard (well, not very hard to be honest - I more or less sat around clicking the mouse occasionally) day at work. There’s nothing up with me, I just have two flaws, one of which is I am frequently extremely intoxicated, the second of which is that I have a cheeky grin in person but my humour may not travel well when written. Subset of flaw two is that I can’t really write for toffee. Flaw one is a subset of my superset of character flaws which also include strong feelings about certain topics. In fact the judicial one is an interesting issue that I’m going to go and create a great debate about now. P.S. Caterhams don’t have boots. Or make saloons. Honestly, do you know anything about cars at all? ---

And P.P.S. the quintissential English Car, the Bristol Blenheim stores its spare tyre behind its left wheel arch. I know this because I used to have one. So there. ---

After a quick shufty, I have come to the conclusion that the quintissential British Car is a Citroen 2CV. Or possibly a Reliant Robin. ---
