The Collapse of British Society

Don’t read on if the word ‘cunt’ offends…


I was in the pub a few nights ago with a friend discussing the way we go through phases of using certain words, and how these phases bring new words into our everyday vocab that replace older words (we’re thrilling company!).

From here we realised that we say the word ‘cunt’ much more than the word ‘marmalade’. This isn’t all that surprising for two twenty something Londoners, but quite worrying given that we estimated that we have a ‘Cunt to Marmalade Ratio’ of several hundred to one.

This is very demographic specific of course, many countries use neither word. Young children probably say ‘marmalade’ more, as with most older people.

I would therefore be fascinated to hear your thoughts on this. What is your Cunt to Marmalade ratio? Please comment/email with your thoughts and ratios (include age and location)! If I get enough replies, I will get some stats together.

(The irony of realising that I have such an obscene Cunt to Marmalade Ratio, subsequently reducing it, hasn’t been lost on me)

Newish site

It's a bit silly keeping my blog and my main site separate, so I'm changing things dammit!

Ok, a serious question, for reasons I will reveal in coming weeks.

What was your favourite Simulacrum of 2005?*

*Yes, that means all, except Mother Teresa.

Choose 1, 2, or 3 at most and email them to me (details below right).

It's not a competition, but your thoughts will be a huge help!

To soften the blow of having to think, here is a picture of a honey badger. I love those crazy animals!

Holy Mutter!

Several months ago I wrote about this:










Which i thought was amazing!!

And now, there's this:











(http://wp.skrynski.de/)

I don't entirely get it, but I think it's good, largely because it has the word 'Persönlichkeiten' - which is such a fantastic word we should start using it in English!

It's great being written about in 'foreign'!

(head expands, blows up, is replaced by smaller, more charming head...)

The Mother Of All Interviews!

A new show! Fantastic! I told you 2006 was good!

I think jokes about blondes, the Irish, Spurs supporters etc. are tantamount to racism. Except this one: Best Blonde Joke Ever

Ohmygod!!

2006 eh? Hasn't it been the most incredible year ever! Already it's better than all of 2005 put together! Well, Chris Skinner thinks so, and to celebrate he has done a load of new interviews and recorded an entirely new show that will go live soon! Wow and double wow!

Do you ever feel like just jumping up and down with a big smile whilst the Vengaboys play in the background? Chris Skinner certainly does - and he's never wrong!

More soon! Yippee!!!!
