Weekend open ‘anti-whaling’ thread
And we’re back on this lovely, sunny weekend. To add to the celebration, the whales have been saved, and there is some Sri Lankan festival going on in central London today and tomorrow but I can’t find any website.
Whatever it is, get it off your chest.

Hello Sunny. Taking a break between the 2 o’clock game and the 5 o’clock game too? No of course not.
Is there a game? whoops!
I’m off to central London in a bit, the picklers are meeting up for the first time in a super-secret venue to hatch their plans for world domination. And exchange tips on how to make samosas. *drool…*
sounds fun. thanks for the invite (only joking). was there any merit in that small piece I sent you?

Still taste lovely though, apprently.
What I found interesting was thus
“I think we could whale more, because the number of whales has now increased to the extent that they are damaging the ecosystem by eating too much fish,”
Does that mean that if the japanese start eating too many whales and start damaging the ecosystem we can start eating japanese people ?
um. maybe it’s a charter for cannibalism generally.
anyone had whale meat on the barbie yet?
Hurrah for the weekend open thread!
I can’t think of anything to say on it, but hurrah anyway!
Let’s play the headline game!
Think of a scenario, then let someone else come up with the most apt News of the World headline
For instance, re: Sunny and his two trusty picklers getting it on over a samosa as we speak
Sunny’s Spicy Love Triangle
Or assuming sunny’s being bummed by those who think the sun shines out of his arse
Sunny Side Up
Have a go. Clearly, it doesn’t matter if the headlines are crap
Best Sun (sub)headline ever was in the gardening section, advising that fat and suet should be put in bird feeders in cold weather;
Lards Out For The Tits.
Sunny denies making pocket money at Kings X, threatening to sue anyone who suggests he isn’t a butt virgin
SUNNY’S TOO TIGHT TO MENTION
Sunny invents way of pleasuring the ladies using his silver tongue alone
SUNNYLINGUS
Sunny is left with a crusty cock after attracting too many wishy-washy wooly liberal female posters
LIKE CHEESE TO A SUNNY
Bikhair announces her undying love for Sunny
SUNNY BOILER
Editor of Pickled Politics loses his rag with idiot poster
SUNNY FLIES OFF THE HUNDAL
Kismet takes a bow
SUNNY HAPPY RETURNS
My favourite News of the World headline EVER was when Frank Sinatra had a revolutionary surgery using sheep’s bladders instead of plastic…
I’VE GOT EWE UNDER MY SKIN
Genius
I need a wank.
Well all comments here are very jovial today. I’d like to say something a little more serious, that a Pakistani man in London shows how much he loves his sister, by slitting her throat. What a terrible death she must have had, seeing her own family members cut the life out of her.
Sorry folks. Back to your football and wanking.
You really haven’t got the hang of this open thread thing, have you?

I agree with JOnz scary stuff 2006 in th UK
jonz really is thick isn’t he
I think my favourite Sunday Sport headline ever was “Woman gives birth to 8-pound duck”. The front page carried a picture of a baby with a duck’s beak tied round its head. They didn’t airbrush out the string.
Make up your own stories to amuse yourselves with these Pickley headlines:
OUT ON THE RAZ
GET OUT OF THE JAI
BRAIN JONZTOWN MASSACRE
WILLY THE SID
DON YOU WANT ME BABY
NEWTON’S THREE LAWS OF PASSION (gr-rr)
You raz, are a wanker.
Say it ain’t so, Raz, say it ain’t so.
Better?
Much.
Splurt Splurt
Back to the original thread
James Whale
What a cunt
My dad’s sister is fat
Auntie Whale
James Blunt is a complete c**t if you ask me…
Bloody hell, Italy were crap today.
I just made a vegetarian meal which involved tofu. I didn’t add bacon or anything. Go me!
The whale, while often thought of as a fish, is actually a legume.
WHALE=MAMMAL
I know, technically he’s even human. But he’s still a cunt.
Dude, whale is so tasty…!
Joke
I’ve never eaten a whale… honestly!
Let me just say that Free Willy is a shite movie.
And apparently, there’s a Free Willy II and III as well (yikes).
Amir but you are deluded, for there is no such thing as Free Willy. Nor were there these sequels you speak of. The mind is induced to wish this or that by some cause and that cause is determined by another cause, and so on back to infinity.
Ah yes, Zeno’s paradox (Achilles and the Tortoise)!
Well noted Kismet.
Do you have any answers to Zeno’s paradox?
Well, The dichotomy paradox is easier to understand… but it says more-or-less the same thing as Achilles and the Tortoise.
Think about it for too long and your brain will explode.
Apparently, The dichotomy paradox drove Søren Kierkegaard to the brink of insanity when he was 18-years-old.
Kinda like the numbers on Lost.
Or maybe you were being sarcastic Kismet?…
You caught me unprepared. I was instinctively expecting a cheap pun on ‘free Willy’.
But hey, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
Where’s Jay Singh these days? He hasn’t posted for a while, and his diary seems to have vanished from PP. Has Sunny bumped him off?!
The typical comeback to ‘sarcasm is the lowest form of wit’ is ‘yes… but it’s also the funniest’.
Just to pre-empt a ‘witty’ reply.
Or maybe I’m just talking to myself? [I blame it on powerful super-skunk and 'Dark Side of the Moon'... heh heh!]
Raz
Yeah, where is Jay Singh… me and him didn’t really ‘get on’, but I did (nevertheless) have a lot of respect for his views and contributions. A valuable cog in the machine (so to speak).
Whatever he’s doing I wish him the best of luck.
sarcasm is the highest form of wit
Sonia… ha ha!! [A very witty response]
On an unrelated topic…
I love the gardens on your blog (Past; Present; and Future). They’re absolutely beautiful!
Horticulture is one of the most amazing gifts to our species. Did you know Sonia… Before he converted from philology to philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche contemplated becoming a gardener? Honest.
I wish I had a garden [cue the violins of self-pity]. Sob, sob.
So yes, I have a cringe-worthy confession to make… on environmental issues, I nearly always agree with George Monbiot [shudder, shudder]
The guy’s a dweeb when it come to the economy or to foreign policy…
But he’s spot-on (usually) when it comes to our beloved countryside. Go George! [note: I fell so dirty when I say that.]
@raz: Man you really gotta come down to Mumbai in monsoons to check out these chicks. I bet they’d give lahoris the run fer their money!
@kismet:
plz do a one on mirax!
Why thank you Amir. There are some beautiful gardens around – I’m like you – I wish I had a garden – but I don’t. So I treat the public park as my garden!
Seriously though – have you thought about guerilla gardening? It’s for people who don’t have gardens of their own..and helping to green up public spaces..
Kismet Hardy – I’m sure the Sun would love to have you and your headlines!
James Whale? Agreed. Complete Cunt.
You got a camera phone Vikrant? I need some photos from Mumbai
Amir, it’s all an illusion. There’s a clue in the name: Zeno of a-liar
“Kismet Hardy – I’m sure the Sun would love to have you and your headlines!”
True story: I had a freelance job with News International five years ago, but my ex-girlfriend wept: ‘Do you know my parents still talk about your sense of values (I was a member of SWP back then, so I only joined to shag their daughter but they weren’t to know). They’ll be horrified to learn you work for the Sun. As will I…’
So I turned it down.
I coulda been someone, I coulda been a contender, I coulda been that broke the news of Freddie Starr’s hamster
.. instead of a bum, which is what I am. What a great movie.
Hmmm. Here are a few more:
Sunny gets a toupee for his balding pate — SUNNY AND HAIR
Sunny gets a German boyfriend — SUNNY AND HERR
Sunny switches to butter from margarine — SUNNY AND BEURRE
Sunny gets an unexpected drubbing in televised debate — SUNNY AND MARE
Sunny comes back fighting and lands a few punches — SUNNY DELIGHT
Spanish Londoner starts to contribute to well-known Asian-run blog — PICKLED ONION
(That’s enuff – Ed)
Bloody! I come back after a relaxing weekend with the picklers and all I see is abuse.
But at least Katy resisted eating meat! woohoo!
@raz: If i get caught clicking chicks with my phone in public, i daresay i’d be lynched!
i think even great Sunny had problems with Mumbai police years back. They’d booked him for “public indecency”.
“i think even great Sunny had problems with Mumbai police years back. They’d booked him for “public indecency”
Chasing [I]kusra’s[/I] again, eh Sunny?
“i think even great Sunny had problems with Mumbai police years back. They’d booked him for “public indecency”
Chasing kusra’s again, eh Sunny?
what is kusra?
khusra/hijra = transgendered/eunuch community prevelant in some areas of Pakistan and India.
I believe they call them “chackka” in Mumbai Hindi!
I did indeed. I roasted a veritable medley of vegetables in olive oil with salt and pepper, fried some tofu in sesame oil, garlic and soy, slung in some slivered almonds and a drizzle of maple syrup and scoffed the lot. It was very tasty.
[here follows a line specifically aimed at winding Sunny up]
I bet it would be good with chicken too.
All I want is an entire pig dripping in grease with an apple in its mouth
Tastes like human flesh, apparently
But then I’ve never knowingly eaten an apple
Kismet, #9. Gotta hand it to you. That’s hilarious!
Suckling pig — now you’re talking!!
Here’s a recipe for “Cochinillo de Segovia”:
