Commonwealth doesn't sound as good. You gotta think about branding, really.

This is pretty inspirational:
Build the fucking wall and have done with it. Shows how spineless our current government if this even gets consideration.
If we control it then fine, but any British state presence being placed in Ireland would need to be dealt with.

James Brokenshire must be the most aptly named Secretary of State for Northern Ireland ever.
Not Obama winning one levels of lol, but Dylan can fuck off.

Include all those in a 500 word short story, and win a prize.
Some gorilla has escaped from London Zoo. Could be another Harambe moment.
The one about it getting stabbed for being in the wrong postcode was a close second.
He's been at short odds for a decade, so it's not that surprising. Plenty of writers have won in the past for their work in poetry. The fact that Dylan sings his is largely immaterial.Originally Posted by Pepe
He's not even the first musical poet to win, although it's been quite a while since the last one (1913).
The greatest songwriter and lyricist of all time. Probably worth it.
Lots of the reactions are interesting. The really top-notch literary figures are mostly pretty positive about it. It's the mid-range writers who are getting a little bit salty.

You're about as likely to win a Grammy as your are the Literature Nobel, Jodi, so have at it.
I can't tell if that mistake was on purpose or not.
I'm going to stick the boot in and claim it wasn't and Ital is a FUCKING RETARD.
And the worst vocalist. Though it's probably not for that.
It probably wasn't.
No Literature Nobel Prize for me.
I like the sedate nature of the Nobel Prize. It's for a 'contribution', which you might not even notice for a generation, rather than just having done something at that moment in time. The fact that the Peace Prize is the least like that, and therefore the shittest and most prone to throwing up pish, speaks volumes.
This is a very good observation.
Every now and then, with the science ones, you get a result that obviously warrants acknowledgement immediately (Higgs et al. getting it immediately after the discovery of the Higgs Boson), but they are very much the exception. Most of the science awards are given out many years after the discovery, once its long-term impact has a little bit of context.
I'm not sure Dylan is the worst vocalist of all time.
I had actually forgot Thom Yorke existed.
Honest mistake, really. Who would think a suicide bomber was a suicide risk?

Very high opinion of your own singing voice.
It's basically how the honours system used to work before Tony Blair ruined it. Edmund Hillary got his knighthood as soon as he got down, and rightly so. But if you're a cyclist then let's give it a few decades because who cares about cycling mate.
Compared to them two? I sound like a cat being raped with a spade and that's still superior to off-key Dylan and the other drooling mess.
If you're going to have honours, that seems the smartest way to do it.
Has it been licking it's own forehead?
Congrats Jamie Oliver.
We all laugh but she's a paedophile's dream come true.
Adult-sized tongue's going to be a bit of misnomer if that keeps growing.
Not a sport/person anyone would know here, but jaysus how hooked would you need to be?

Ł200 for pissing on camera?
Sounds like a good job until it leads to you getting bummed/bumming.
He didn't need to accept the dicking though.
.....
Mahow's a changed man these days though. Can't keep criticising him for his past mistakes.
Given that the view from my window looks like the apocalypse has started I'm going to guess that whoever said this fire was 'under control' was being rather optimistic.
We wont snitch on you, Spoon.
You're safe.
I bet it was your lookalike.

Scottish RSPCA thing MD is getting paid way more than the PM.
For a charity that's had a big loss in income. So fucking lol at that. Never donating again. Not that I did to that Staffie saving shitfest anyway.
lol at Durgeon getting paid that much, for a nation famed for being tight you scotch do like to waste a lot of money, just look at what was spaffed on your truly awful parliament building. It's almost as if that stereotype wasn't based in fact.
The stereotype was presumably formed before they started using our money for everything.
All the crap about Poppy's on shirts made me aware that FIFA also outlow commercial messages;
Sure a Nike or Adidas logo is a commercial message.... and what about the massive '3' logo that Ireland used?Fifa, who govern world football, say they do not allow any political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.
Cubs win the World Series.
Baseball
Ireland don't wear the 3 in games, it's only on the replicas. I think we've had a sponsor on that since the early 80's. Bit of a pisser you could never buy a jersey back in the day without Opel on it though.
We did manage to get a Rising centenary shirt through vs the Swiss earlier this year though
Errrr, yay?Cubs win the World Series.
Baseball
BaseballI used to think the same, but I've come around the past month. It's a great sport. That's not even relevant though.Errrr, yay?
Baseball
The Cubs are one of the most popular teams in the country but hadn't won a World Series since 1908. The closest analogy I could come to would be Leicester winning the league last season, but if Leicester had as many fans as Manchester United.
To be fair, that's a 108-year wait to life the trophy. Even if baseball (a.k.a. rounders for Americans) is terrible, then you can respect the level of achievement.
The Cubs' drought is folklore. We were on a river cruise in Chicago in 2008 and the guide said that if the Cubs ever won the World Series they'd add a fifth star to the city's flag. It's genuinely surreal to see them win it.
On a side note, I always assumed baseball was sort of equivalent to cricket?
