I'm surprised society hasn't blacklisted the word 'blacklisted', for reinforcing negative racial stereotypes.

Why doesn't the cultural appropriation crowd get triggered when someone uses the term 'whitelisted' and call the grammar systemically racist?

I haven't been able to eat burgers for a year, and now just to rub salt into the wound, I get an email from Burger King telling me my points are about to expire!

I billed myself up to date at the end of last month but the bastards at Anglian Water decided to send me another bill five days later!

It should be a day to remember Russians as our allies against the Nazis but Biden's just used the occasion to have a bash at Putin.

Russians were never our allies.

When WW2 started they were effectively allies with Nazi Germany. Although most of the fighting and killing in Poland was down to the Germans, the Soviet Union occupied most of eastern Poland until 1941 and were responsible for a number of atrocities. During this period they gave large amounts of raw materials to Germany for their war effort. And up until 1940 they entered the winter war with Finland.

They only swapped sides due to falling out with Hitler and after a large number of their troops were destroyed by mistake.

Yeah, I just realise Russia wasn't part of D-Day. Still, it's a time to remember the extraordinary courage of those men, who will soon sadly be lost to history. Biden can always have a bash at Putin tomorrow. :)

Agreed.

Many men, women and dogs died on D-Day, with many not even making it onto the beaches. From what I have read and stories from my long gone grandad allot knew they weren’t coming back. That’s a strange sacrifice to knowingly make to protect your country when asked. Not sure you could rely on the same level of sacrifice by youngsters today!!!

That’s why, we should never forget any of them…

The most stupid song of all time!

I vaguely remember it, didn't realise it was Max Bygraves. The soldier should have been put in front of a firing squad with his deck of cards, alongside the song writer! He can then use them to count the bullets. :D

Is it actually obligatory for the entire gallery to film the arse end of a man hitting a golf shot?
