you’re bock the robber to disagree.
I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if Have I Got News For You make a joke outta it too.
April 22nd, 2008
Everyone will make a joke of it. Because it is funny, just like all the celebrity drug habits are funny, and Britney’s madness is funny, and so on and on and on.
It’s funny unless you think of him as a person, and what he must be suffering, and the braveness of going public about it, and facing the humiliation.
I’m not preaching, I do see the humour. I don’t think it’s right but it’s hard to avoid - and I feel empathy for him at the same time.
April 22nd, 2008
No, I think John Prescott’s bulimia is funny, but don’t let that stop you.
Thank God he didn’t wave his cock at some teenage girls, I’d never fucking hear the end of it then.
April 22nd, 2008
As I said, who am I to disagree?
April 22nd, 2008
A whole new definition of the phrase ’sick humour’!
April 22nd, 2008
As I said, who am I to disagree?
Well you’re the one who brought it up.
April 22nd, 2008
Of course he’s bulimic…..drink lots of lager-vomit-eat chips-vomit-drink even more lager, eat chips-vomit…..how insensitive are you??
April 22nd, 2008
Whats with the PC brigade jumping in to threads (im talking about the Twenty thread bock) anytime anyone says anything thats not “sensitive” to the needs of whoever the fuck they decide has been offended..?
Grrrr..
April 22nd, 2008
Twenty: Oh! I thought you did.
April 22nd, 2008
Ahh yes. The usual witty stuff from good old Twenty. Brings me back down memory lane!
Bald Devil loves you all.
April 22nd, 2008
I thought the Bald Devil was No more…
There you go.
April 22nd, 2008
Then you didn’t fucking read the post properly you tit. The blog is no more. Bald Devil is very much alive!
And He still loves you all.
April 22nd, 2008
I know you do.. (pats Bald Devil on the head)
April 22nd, 2008
Mind you don’t cut your little handies on My horns. We don’t want to have to go to the hospital now do we?
Bald Devil loves you all.
April 22nd, 2008
He he…
April 22nd, 2008
I thought Prescott brought it up. Along with his dinner.
April 22nd, 2008
Well that was fun.
Id nevr bn to vsit 20 b4.
April 22nd, 2008
You still read that stuff?
April 22nd, 2008
Prescott’s so big he could earn a handy few bob selling shade on a beach.
He’s bullimic, yeah, what happened porky, did you forget the throwing up part.?
April 22nd, 2008
Samuel100: Did you ever know anyone who suffered from bulimia?
April 22nd, 2008
I do Bock. Which is why I put my two cents on Twenty’s blog. And caused a … dispute.
April 22nd, 2008
Don’t you find the media attention to this particular self inflicted illness nauseating,? no pun intended…. millions of people on this planet are starving and we get served up pages on a self indulgent (not just with food) embarrasment of a politican who can’t keep his snout out of the fridge.
April 22nd, 2008
No.
I don’t find that disgusting, but I have to admit I’m astounded at your lack of knowledge about this illness.
April 22nd, 2008
You’d be astounded about the lack of knowledge on this self indulgent illness in certain countries in Africa also, where their dropping like flies from malnutrition, very little bulimia on that continent, guess there isn’t a whole lot to binge on….
April 22nd, 2008
Very little bulimia in Africa, you say?
Where did you get that information? You made it up, didn’t you?
By the way, you failed to answer my earlier question. Did you ever know anyone who suffered from bulimia?
April 22nd, 2008
Do you want to do an aggregate score on bulimia and starvation on the African continent? go right ahead, then let us know where youn think our compassion should lie. As for the original question, whether I do or not is my own business, and is also incidental to my views.
April 22nd, 2008
Wrong. If you come on here talking shite, you can expect to be challenged on it.
April 22nd, 2008
Wrong on what?…go do the aggregate score, I confidently predict that you will find that there
are more people without dinners in Africa than there are throwing them up, but I could be making it up…. yeah. talk about talking shite…
April 22nd, 2008
If you think bulimia isn’t an illness, say so.
If you won’t admit whether you know someone who’s bulimic, I’d have to conclude that you do, and that you’re angry about it.
April 22nd, 2008
I have no problem with admitting same is an illness.
My point is that given its nature it gets a disproportionate amount of attention which is obscene, decadent even, in a world in which people are starving to death every day.
April 22nd, 2008
Oh dear. The thing is - bulimia is a very serious and potentially fatal (by the further medical complications it causes) disease. Let’s not make fun of someone in the public eye who is fat AND suffers from this disease - just because he is fat and has porked his secretary doesn’t mean that he should be villified for eating and then vomiting. The point is surely that the (as usual) media handling of it is turning it into a vacuous circus - perfect Daily Mail fodder if ever I saw it. Samuel 10000 - I think you rather angrily have the salient point - we should know more about this disease as it is a very serious one. To treat anyone without compassion and refer to them as ’self indulgent’ when they are suffering in such a way is downright sickening in itself.
April 23rd, 2008
You know, if I really felt so strongly about starvation in Africa that I couldn’t even discuss Bulimia, I probably wouldn’t waste my time chewing the fat here, so to speak. I’d be in Chad or something.
Technically, global warming is the more important issue, as it is leading to the complete destruction of humankind–maybe we should be angry at people who waste our precious time whittering on about Africa when we should be saving the whole world!
(That’s just reductio ad absurdum, by the way. We can talk about all these issues if we like.)
April 23rd, 2008
According to the Talmud, he who saves a single life saves the entire world @ Darwin.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail, admittedly an absurd little Englander rag, reported that Prescott claiming 4000 sterling in food allowances in 2004 from the Brit taxpayer.
He didn’t waste a penny of it did he, but it all quite literally went down the toilet.
That sum would provide clean drinking water for years in a third world villiage or feed said villiage for months.
According to an add running on RTE one person dies every three seconds from hunger in the Third World.
“Apparently these misfortunate souls are not allowed claim four grand a year in food expenses”…..
Meanwhile, we are being invited to feel sympathy
for an over indulgent bufoon.
Makes you proud to be from the First World doesn’t it.

Bulimia has much in common with anorexia - and nothing to do with gluttony. Why don’t you just Google it and read up on it?
April 23rd, 2008
Samuel : Why do you quote a religious book?
Why do you make irrelevant comparisons with the third world?
Why are you so ignorant about this illness?
Are you being deliberately obtuse, as you’ve done on other posts here? Are you, in fact, a spammer?
April 23rd, 2008
samuel, I think that is a mistranslation of “he who saves a penny, solves the deficit.”
April 23rd, 2008
Why not quote a religious book?. If your site is
as liberal as you think it is then all views should be welcome even religious ones.
As Voltaire defined liberalism, “I disagree with what you say but fight to the death for your right to say it”.
Anyway the Talmud quote was directed at Darwin, the “saving the world” part.
I’m not ignorant about this illness just saddened by the attention given to a pampered bufoon.
The comparisons are not irrelevant to the Third World but indicative of how we here in the West
have dissaapeared up our own anal regions in an orgy of subjectivity.
Obtuse my ass, if what your write doesn’t offend at least 50% percent of the people that read it,
it is not worth reading or writing
Contrary views are the essence of debate not consensus.
This site is supposed to be “offended everyone since 2006.”
I thought I was in for some great reads but all I have found so far is the inane cosy consensus you’d come across on the letters pages of the Irish Times.
April 23rd, 2008
This isn’t a liberal site. Where did you get that idea?
I think religion is superstitious bullshit and a religious text has no place in a rational discussion of anything. You might as well quote the Simpsons as the Talmud.
Also, it doesn’t matter who you directed the quote at. I’ll comment on anything appearing here whenever I feel like doing so.
If you have nothing further to say about John Prescott, except to call him a buffoon then you have nothing further to contribute here except perhaps that you need to have an argument with somebody.
And by the way, I’m not here to provide you with a “great read”. In fact, I’m not here to provide you with anything, so if you can find something more entertaining elsewhere, off you go.
April 23rd, 2008
Can I quote Reverand Lovejoy from the Simsons?
“here ye here ye, and so it came to pass that the owner of said ball, in the year of our Lord 2008 did indicate unto the Lord and the Isralites, swigging cider down there at the back, that unless the congreation did play ball in accordance with scripture as laid down by owner of said ball, that they would be cast into the wilderness of cyperspace, outcasts in our midst, eternally carrying the mark of Cain.”
April 23rd, 2008
That’s right. Consider yourself oppressed.
And if you want to pay for a site of your own, you can do the same. In the meanwhile, quit whining.
April 23rd, 2008
How do I write LOL without writing LOL!?
April 23rd, 2008
Should be hear ye, hear ye actually.
And so, according to Lovejoy, it came to pass that the obtuse ones were cast into the wilderness of cyberspace and there they dith (whatever) wander under the staff of Moses for 40 years.
And then, as the chosen ones repeatedly point out, they settled in the only place in the Middle East where there is no f*****g oil.
April 23rd, 2008
That was a bit of a shift from Prescott. (Or am I missing something?)
April 23rd, 2008
Nora: You’re not. Sam is missing the point of how to behave. Maybe he’s new to this kind of thing or maybe he’s trolling. I don’t know yet but I won’t be long making my mind up.
April 23rd, 2008
Got distracted @ shift from Prescott, was feeling oppressed and obtuse lol. Meantime, my quotes from Lovejoy look like they will come to pass lol
April 23rd, 2008
You got one right, Sam. Obtuse.
April 23rd, 2008
Save it for the comedy festival, Sam.
April 23rd, 2008
A very close friend of mine suffered from bulimia for many years. She spent a lot of that time in various hospitals and different types of therapies and at one point was very close to death due to complications that the disease caused to her body, and still bears the physical damage to this day. It was a very very difficult and painful thing to watch your friend going through. No one knew about it for years because she hid it from her family and friends for so long. I couldn’t give a fuck about Samuel as he is (sorry) obviously an idiot - but I think people should research something before they take up space and rant about something they (seemingly) know fuck all about.
