It's the wrong time of year to be a struggling actor and one's families are always quick to dispense bounteous advice. "Why don't you just write to television and ask for a part?" And of course the always lethal, "So how much longer are you going to give it before you get a real job?"

"Oh, right. You had almost forgotten. This building, this basement, is the major internet hub for the entire region."
- The Christmas Sermon 2012 – “On Not Believing In Canada”
"Well, I do believe in Canada, a bit, but I don’t worship Canada! Canada doesn’t bloody ask me to come to the Canadian Embassy every Sunday when the cartoons are on telly, and sit through a two hour sermon about Canada, then fill in colouring books about Canada and the Son of Canada, does it? Nobody makes me sing songs about Canada, or gives me a book of stories about Canada instead of a comic for my birthday! In general, I don’t allow my belief in Canada to affect my life!"

Waaaaaaaiiiii. Hooooooooo. Ho-daaaaa.
- David Davies, Conservative MP: 'I may well be wrong' | Politics | The Guardian
It's impossible to get angry at David Davies. He's simply impossibly naive and adorable. Sort of like a bigoted, hatemongering, Welsh Hugh Grant. And he shows no interest whatsoever in questioning his own biases while he runs the country. Oh wait, there it is.
- Has Andrew Mitchell been the victim of a good old-fashioned police stitch-up? | Torygraph blogs
I love the fact that this is suddenly news because the Met have tried to fuck over somebody /important/. Still sucks to be you if you're not a Tory minister, and god help you if you're black. I don't care whether MItchell actually used the word "pleb" or not; fact is he probably thought it, because he's a cunt. Thinking it isn't technically an arrestable offence, but it's not like that's ever stopped the Met before.

And the rank-forming begins. "Of course he wouldn't have said pleb. We don't use words like that."
