OMFG, I should laugh at that, but I literally spluttered my drink.

The repetition of the word 'bum' just appeals to a deeply childish side of me.

I think the Ugandan press is a bit obsessed with homosexuality. I wonder what that says about the journalists...

Now I've just spent half an hour listening to Ugandan pop videos, which seems all incredibly mellow and happy and full of bbws in minidresses. You think people who make sounds like that would chill the f out about gays.

Another one? This one is more shocking than the others, and really not funny. You just know that The Sun would print headlines like these if they truly thought they could get away with it:

I think before Leveson happened, the Sun were secretly praying for the day when they could be like Ugandan Red Pepper.

God help me,I won't talke a swig and look again :lol: Better put the bottle down,at least it wasn't the Bushmills,if I spilled that it would be alcohol abuse.

We had a hilarious bumper sticker that said "Don't drink and drive,you might hit a bump and spill it." it's appropiate for this area,dry county and the rockiest roads in the state.Grown men will cry over spilled beer here.

There are a number of African Commonwealth member states whose track record on gay rights is less than stellar. Uganda and Cameroon both leap immediately to mind. I am sure that the big 4 would not be sorry to see fewer calls on Commonwealth largesse at CHOGM (Or as rumour has it that they were called in Thatcher's time, "Compulsory Hand-Outs for Greedy Mendicants).


If the Commonwealth did anything about any contemporary issue it would be an improvement.

Next time I'm in Northern Ireland I really must go to the Bushmills Distillery (I've been to Bushmills the town - very loyalist). I went to the Hilden Brewery for a (extremely expensive and disappointing) beer festival, and I've also been to a pub that I think was the brewery tap of Whitewater Brewery, which is based near Kilkeel.

visagrunt: It's not just African nations that have a serious problem with gay-bashing but you can also count much of the Caribbean - Jamaican homophobia is frankly legendary - and the remaining Muslim countries in the Indian subcontinent too.

My mum tells a very similar variation of that joke with regularity.

^^^^My family left the places of"troubles" quite awhile ago,I suppose they would be Orange,we were Protestant and left pretty early on in the early 1700's,further back I have some English,Buckminster was the name but it was changed in America to Buckmaster in the mid1600's.Genealogy interests me so I'll shut up now or will bore everyone.

Oh, I am well aware. But the big four aren't spending a lot of money in the Carribbean right now. Even Canada's long standing lifeline to Haïti is in some question. Africa, on the other hand, is still by far the largest recipient of development aid from these countries, and all four governments are asking 'value-for-money' questions.

After all, the US is paying Kagame to sterilise 700,000 Hutus as part of a plan to change the tribal balance in Rwanda... and paying him to invade the Congo... again!
