Think the waiters bit could be dropped, and maybe another bit to shorten it, then it could be a NiB. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=33546#post-95370 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:43:38 +0000 sambo 95370@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>James is actually another user who was logged on at my computer - so yes, stupid mistake.</p> <p>Did you like it or not? Comments on the actual article appreciated... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=33546#post-95346 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:13:34 +0000 greg various 95346@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This was much funnier when I had a quick look in earlier. I see you've now deleted the part where the second Clayton comment is saying thanks for the praise heaped upon you by,it seems, yourself. When you feel the need to extol your own brilliance with other personas you'll have to be more careful with the log-ins.<br /> While I'm on: is Sambo allowed nowadays? I thought that had been kicked way beyond the pale in even impolite society back before the days we were told to call blacks negroes. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=33546#post-95290 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:03:42 +0000 James Clayton 95290@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just seen that Saturday night live did a sketch on the same theme. Different angle though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=33546#post-95267 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:27:01 +0000 James Clayton 95267@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This is Brilliant!!! Love it. Minerva was a definitely a hottie. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=33546#post-95233 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:22:03 +0000 sambo 95233@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yesterday Greek politicians admitted to summoning a pantheon of ancient Gods to deal with their ongoing economic crisis.</p> <p>Prime Minister George Papandreou admitted: “We didn’t want it to come to this, but we have been forced to make the call.”</p> <p>Zeus, who initially claimed to be “too old for this shit”, eventually agreed to lead an interim government from the Parthenon in Athens, and has assigned cabinet posts to a selection of lesser deities.</p> <p>Apollo, who will become Minister for Foreign Affairs, dismissed Papandreou’s request to burn the entire French harvest, but has agreed that international creditors must collect all future payments from the jaws of the Minotaur.</p> <p>Scores of unemployed Greek waiters were seen high fiving on on the streets of the Acropolis and were heard chanting “σκατά ναι”, Greek for ‘Fuck yeah’.</p> <p>Alex Kalmynos, a disenchanted university student told our reporter: “I saw Poseidon rise from the the ocean, with Merkel and Sarkozy skewered on his trident. This truly is a great day for Greece.”</p> <p>Zeus urged his immortal henchmen to use their powers only for justice, not revenge, but was later seen stifling laughter at reports that a tidal wave had engulfed the IMF headquarters in Washington.</p> <p>Enraged Italian citizens took to the streets of Rome this morning, demanding that their troubled leader Sylvio Berlusconi make a similar request to Jupiter. Mr Berlusconi said that the pair were no longer on speaking terms after a “regrettable encounter” with the Roman God’s teenage daughter, Minerva. </p>
