[treelover]

The BBC has belatedly gone some way to acquiring the basics of arithmetic:

That's cos it was wet Good to see you though!

 

[ffsear]

Why do these naughty little activists always look like complete poindexters ?

 

[JimW]

scum

She was, wasn't she? No wonder she's the first PM since Spencer Perceval to inspire spontaneous street celebrations at their death.

 

[AKA pseudonym]

Why do these naughty little activists always look like complete point dexters ?

huh?

 

[JimW]

huh?

I think our towering political genius has failed to spell Poindexter, an American way of calling someone a nerd IIRC.

 

[butchersapron]

I think the poor thing was trying to say poindexter. Given that he is a US high school jock.

 

[Pickman's model]

Why do these naughty little activists always look like complete point dexters ?

you fucking failure. what would your mum say, if she could slap you now?

 

[chilango]

huh?

...turns out the guy in the PD logo is actually called "Dexter".

Hence burley, buff, proletarian types with well defined muscles are known as "point dexters" from this.

As in "I've read your Posadist manifesto and I think you make some great points, Dexter."

Not true. Nerds are interesting and have character. A "poindexter" (thanks btw) is a lesser creature.

No, it's true that's what it means. That you misused it as well as misspelled it is besides the point.

 

[chilango]

I don't get this, who is she?

 

[where to]

Kay Burley, revolting Sky News presenter.

 

[butchersapron]

I don't get this, who is she?

Kay Burley, sky/murdoch mouthpiece - nemesis: Ian Bone who is often found heckling her live reports outside parliament.

Burly - Large and strong; heavily built.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Ditto

yeah the weather paid a bit part but also there wasn't a real big thing people were there for. it was an amalgamation of things. plus i think as much as anyone felt good about the fact mags is dead it's sorta a reminder that right now it's the same old shit just with a new face.

does anyone know what factions are involved at the brief punter vs punter brawling at the end ?

Nearly a whole week had passed, its been done to death in the press, that takes some of the energy out of it.

It's got Durham as in the north west mind, unless there was another union banner there? Whoops.

That'll be the poindexters scrapping with the point dexters.

Again...

the al jazeera photos make it look like a good spirited get together, good spread of ages, lots of smiles, booze flying around, and of course pissing rain ....the fact that it didn't live up to some daft press-hyped/hoped for mass kick off isnt the point imo - the combo of all the party's , the whole Ding Dong hoo ha, the attention given to anti Thatch objectors from Scotland to Brixton, the constant online conflict....all adds up to a significant and encouraging send off from young and old, north and south (would be nice if weds continued that, it's got to be doubtful)

i fear they will get the' last word' on Wednesday.
