About fucking time!

Quote:
The Department for Education said that where English teaching was concerned, the aim was to ensure that pupils leave primary school with high standards of literacy.

There will also be a new focus on spelling and grammar.
Probably a bit late for some of the dipsplats of this world.

English is an ever evolving language. In Australia it has been upgraded and improved in the last two centuries. You are still using the English (insert region here) 1.1 while we are up to Aussie English 7.4.

Snags, fair dinkum, strewth, barbie, bonzer, cobber and the Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson repertoire does not qualify as 'improvement'. You even stole sheep shagger from the Welsh (or was it the Kiwis?)

Soccer (aka football for chumps) appears to be taking over my ESPN! Now, I'm sure they could've found a women's ping-pong match to broadcast or something. Anyway, I've written my letter of disapproval to their headquarters. I will keep you all posted on their reply.

P.S.- I wish you wankers would keep your shitty wankers' sport in your own wanking country.

I'll bet as soon as they spend more than two hours on evolution by natural selection in biology. Our educational system is ass-backwards sometimes.

I am pro-handegg. Makes no sense to call it football. National Handegg Association. Has a nice ring to it.

Websites to be forced to identify trolls under new measures

Looks like this place is stuffed!

Websites will soon to be forced to identify people who have posted defamatory messages online. New government proposals say victims have a right to know who is behind malicious messages without the need for costly legal battles.

What a load of bollocks. Most of the time the website holds no details on the person anyway. IP addresses mean nothing, anyone that really wants to be an arsehole but still avoid legal problems will just use a proxy server.

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.
