Who gets fed up with...   
Lamposts that start to sprout flowers and teddy bears because some 
fucking stupid cunt decided to get high on drugs and tear up a 30mph 
zone and kill himself and his equally stupid mates by topping 80mph 
trying to look cool.

Spotty hooded cunts of oiks.

Definitely. The deaths are always tragic then the 
parents/siblings/mates/local butcher come on paying 'tributes'. Makes me 
want to puke.

How many stupid ***** do you know, who tear up a 30mph 
zone and kill themselves and their equally stupid mates by topping
80mph trying to look cool, that have a collection of teddy bears?

Isn't it more likely that they have just killed some poor child trying
to cross the road?

One.

I have no idea if the possession of teddy bears has a bearing on the
leaving of same at the scene. At the incident that I am aware of teddy
bears were left at the scene, despite the ypungest person in any car
involved being 18.

> Isn't it more likely that they have just killed some poor child trying

More likely, no I don't think so. These impromptu shrines, which seem to
be a sign British society taking a turn that dismays me, often feature
inappropriate mementoes. Sentimental bollocks, placed by people who
prior to the death probably failed to show the appropriate concern for
the self-destructing individuals so recently "martyred".

It's worse, IMO, when these appear beside country roads, looking for all 
the world like a fly-tipped pile of plastic bags. I mean, if the 
gormless sods have to leave flowers, why the fuck don't they unwrap the 
bloody things?

It's all about letting the world see that you really really care, when deep
down, you really really don't.

Conceptually (this may be the wrong word) it's hard. The idea of not
existing anymore. Of one's consciousness ending. It's not something that
one can actually understand, because one has to be alive to think about it.
It's like a blind person trying to understand colour.

I'm not sure that's entirely fair. I think it would be more accurate to 
describe it as letting the world see you really care, when deep down you 
couldn't give a shit about anyone else until after they have become the 
"victim" of an unexpected and tragic accident that could only have been 
prevented if somebody had cared even a little beforehand.

Sadly I just don't get blue cheese.

A recipe - cook sone gnocchi. Stick in an ovenproof dish. Add cubed blue
cheese and sufficient cream. Bake until bubbly and brown (the well known
comedy duo).

Not being a fan of blue cheese, I tried it with a variety of components.
Cream, lardons, fried onions, and Parmesan came out top. So far...

I am more of a blue cheese and biscuits type although I do understand 
the versatility thing with cheese.

I imagine cheese has been around for a couple of thousand years !

You haven't eaten much cheese then. Danish Blue is second to Dorset Blue, 
Shropshire Blue, Garstang Blue and Blengdale Blue. It's second to 
Rochefort, proper Camembert or Brie, and a whole bunch of locally 
produced French cheeses. It's also second to Pecorino, traditional 
Wensleydale, Stilton, Cotherstone, and even decent Gouda or Emmental.

Though even at its worst it beats the crap out of any supermarket 
Cheddar.

There are two types of joke - something bad happening to someone else, or
something unexpected happening.

I went for the latter.

In Germany they erect large white crosses next to the crash scene.

In some other countries, they just leave the wreckage.

Had one the other day called "Blacksticks Blue".  Very nice.
I've also had a Blue Worcester.

Danish Blue is crude stuff compared to any of the above.  It's fitting
that it's a synonym for cheaply produced crude porn.

A decent Danish Blue is a wonderful thing, though there is a lot of carp 
about, Tesco own brand (not 'best of' own brand) is a reliable purchase. 
A good Roquefort is probably my favourite of the blues; so hands up, who 
else checks all the packets of blue cheese on the shelves to find the 
one with the most blue veins?

Same here, although I don't really like to compare them. A good Stilton 
is equally wonderful.

Dunno why I haven't thought of doing that. But I do check the sell-by
