Just like to point out that the witchcraft Bo-Locks is referring to which was in the news recently is Kindoki, which is actually linked to fundamentalist Christian churches in West Africa, and has nothing to to with Wicca, which is a completely separate pagan path.

Just saying.
Hence why I said "wiccan and the like". My point was just that any religious practice that doesn't harm others should be permitted and not made a question for citizenship approval.

Why was Kindoki in the news?

Some douchebag and his girlfriend tortured her younger brother for 4 days before drowning him because they thought he was a witch. Doesn't fit in with your above statement of not harming others, hence why Bo_locks said it should be on the citizenship test.....

Speechless. It's shit like this that turns people against immigration. First honour killings, now death to suspected witches. I didn't sign up for this shit in England in 2012, we have quite enough strife as it is.

During the trial, jurors heard Kristy was in such pain after three days of attacks by Bikubi and Bamu, who used knives, sticks, metal bars and a hammer and chisel, that he "begged to die", before slipping under the water.
What are 'witches' capable of that could be worse than this?

On that note, if people are fans of the radio what are everyone's favourites?

At the risk of being boringly mainstream, I keep recordings of Ken Bruce and Friday Night is Music Night to listen to at work. I can't live without PopMaster!

Hence my original point that was too embroiled in sarcasm for its own good, why where these people allowed into the country? What can they possibly contribute to society? I seriously want to know.

Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

(That's my way of telling you to cash out NOW and close the browser).

I have no fucking idea. I think it's because we're genuinely afraid to be seen to be discriminating, even if we're discriminating against fucking nutters.

Ran into this quote today:

The peculiar island history of England produced a set of institutions that other advanced nations in Europe and Asia lacked--the common law, respect for private property, continuous representative government, a culture that nurtures civil society and entrepreneurial enterprise. It is thus no accident that the Anglosphere has excelled in innovation and economic growth and undoubtedly will continue to do so in our lifetimes.

What are your thoughts on it? Too circlejerky?

Fearne Cotton is a clown.

Absolutely NOTHING is attractive about her at all.

Anyway, whilst we're on the subject of Radio, I highly recommend tuning into Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show - Saturdays 7pm to 10pm 6 Music.

I usually have it on when I've got a bbq going with friends round in the summer. It's perfect for it.

Aiming high folks,

Never forget my greatest and worst online roulette session, got home from the pub and decided to check what I had on my william hill account, i had 40p and decided to have a roulette spin. Somehow I turned that into £45 only to lose it all then another £40 that I put on over the next hour or so.

Its fucking hilarious thinking back on it but it shows how random roulette really is, these days limit myself to £20 for on-line gambling (not including poker or Liverpool games) over a month.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I went from £20 to £320 in my first (and only) spot of internet gambling (blackjack). I backed the fuck up out of there and never went back. The beginners luck algorithm only goes so far.

Anyone tried the British citizenship test on the Channel 4 website? It's part of the program that was on tonight about Bradford.

I failed.

63% - failed, but it is a rubbish test.

Question 9 asked "how many bank holidays are there per year in the UK" - and it says the correct answer is 4. Four? I said eight.

According to the government there is no single correct answer, because bank holidays vary around the UK (for example, St Andrews Day in Scotland). But even looking just at England there are 8 bank-and-public holidays which are commonly referred to as bank holidays. Even if you take off Christmas and Good Friday (strictly "public holidays") that's 6. Except it isn't because there's an extra one for the Jubilee this year.

Depending what you count, it is either 6, 7, 8 or 9 in England and Wales; 7, 8, 9 or 10 in Scotland; and 8, 9, 10 or 11 in Northern Ireland (St Patricks Day and the Battle of the Boyne).

No way is it four. And it is ropy beyond belief to base citizenship on answering a question that doesn't have a correct answer. Grrr. Gnash. After that I cannot be bothered to check the rest of them I got wrong.

oh damn I missed two episodes of masterchef!

On that note, I just made the best sandwich ever. Seed bread, tomatoes, pepper-ham, mature cheddar, black olives with garlic, green pesto.

As always, sprinkled a tiny bit of salt on the tomatoes to make them extra juicy tasting.

Also that's a cook's trick - if ever you overcook chicken or something and it tastes too dry, a tiny spinkle of salt and a squirt of lime juice makes the mouth produce a ton of saliva and tricks you into thinking the meat is all juicy.

Yeah the British style isn't to really dress shit up that much - we just tend to throw it out there. There was that brief period where everything like news channels had to be this over-dramatic affair but Brass Eye very quickly put a stop to that.

Everything has to be such a production in the States, though.
I discovered here (and most of Britpop, really) thanks to the comic Phonogram. Even if her accent has become slightly more BBC-friendly as time has gone by, it's still recognisable. Love it.

Aw yeah Phonogram! Internet bro-hug! There are only about 20,000 of us Phono-fans in the world, we must embrace each other while we can :D

Yeah, I got really into Kenickie after that series as well, but I remember them being mainstays on CBBC in the late 90s too, so I've lusted after her ever since secondary school. And Kenickie we aweeeeesome too. I wished I'd been more into them at school, because if Phonogram is anything to go by, that's where the real cute girls were at... To be fair though, all McKelvie's girls are cute....

Asking McKelvie to draw a girl that isn't the most stunning girl you've ever seen is like asking the Pope to convert to Buddhism.

Replace the tomatoes with something more manly, like red chili, and I'm in heaven.

Normally I'd use green olives that had been stuffed with chilli, but I was out. You don't want just chillis by themselves as it'd overwhelm the other flavours. Though you could always use a hot red pesto instead of green if that was your thing, I suppose. Might have to try that.

game is busting my balls im down 60quid lol
You dickhead, your "spend the leftover 6 bail at 70" was the perfect plan.

CASH. THE. FUCK. OUT.
