7 Reasons The 1950s Were Better Than The Present

1.  Pipes.  In the 1950s if you smoked a pipe, you were a stand-up fellow, a good chap, a pillar of society who drove a Morris Cowley and wore a hounds-tooth sports jacket with leather arm-patches.  In the present if you smoke a pipe, you are probably embroiled in a downward spiral of addiction and degradation that will ultimately lead to you living in an alley and offering to fellate strangers in exchange for something called crack...

7 Reasons You Said Yes

7 Reasons You Said Yes

1.  You’re polite. You always have been. It would have been rude to say no to the guy who asked, “Shall I jump?” 2.  You were drunk.

7 Reasons That Sir Alex Ferguson Should Retire

7 Reasons That Sir Alex Ferguson Should Retire

1.  It would give the other managers a chance.  Seriously, he just keeps winning stuff. 2.  We would get to see Manchester United playing in white.  It’s a little known fact that Manchester United’s shirt is actually white, it only appears to be red when bathed in the glow from Fergie’s nose. 3.  He’s won so many matches and titles.  Why can’t he celebrate any better than this? He’s a rubbish...
