From what I heard they were referring to the use of social media to glorify gang culture, ie vids of knives and weapons on youtube/facebook and all that malarky. Just to be specific. I freely admit I'm going from news reports etc. here rather than the first-hand statements, so I hope it was as specific and targeted as that and I can merrily eat my words. I haven't had lunch yet. Failing that I'll just loot Kevin's Maccy D's.

Aye, what are the odds of any of the under- and unemployed young people involved in the riots having any experience in the heady world of the entry-level-wage fast food industry?

Me too, best website on the internet by a mile if you sort through the many mugs and add the right people. I very rarely even use the website tbh, browser add-ons and apps all the way. Ah aye me too, app I meant "app" yeez younguns. You knew what I meant. Honestly I didn't, I know a lot of people who just use it from the actual website (which seems a bit inefficient). Meanwhile, heartening to see Cameron vowing to clamp down on "social media", that evil and nebulous entity that allowed people to find out whether they were safe to leave their houses or not, communicated local information more efficiently than traditional news sources, helped people to organise voluntary clean-up operations and is still helping to identify criminals (while the latter were busy using the non-social-media Blackberry messenger system to arrange their next targets). How is that politicians (of all hues) can be so clueless about this kind of thing? I realise Modern Technology is a daunting thing if you're cut off from the real world in a Westminster bubble, but these people are supposed to have advisors at least.

They broke into Ladbrokes and both lost £50 each! They broke into McDonalds and cooked their own food! Oh wait - that actually happened. Did it? On the first night when it was just Tottenham, apparently, aye. Don't think it was ever reported anywhere 100% reliable, but I like to think it's true just because why would you make it up?

I was watching the Spain-South Korea U20s match on Eurosport late last night, and for all I reckon they do a decent enough job given the budget they're on, I lost count of how many of the pens in the shootout were greeted with a response of "Buried it!". I mean I realise there's only so much you can say about a pelinty, but still...

Spit or swallow?

Gangstas nicked it innit

Have I ffs pmsl not early signs mate, been doing it for years. Too many cowies as a kid I put it down to. Just think, Cantona retired at 30 so you're not alone among greats if you retire now. And Des Hamilton only made it to 27.

Having finally scrapped My Family, the BBC's replacement is going to be a comedy about a gay couple... starring Robert Lindsay. Radical.

Oh well, nevermind. She's changed a lot since she was in utero. She's got a look in her eye that says RAPE MEEEE In her Heart Shaped Box? Kevin S. Assilleekunt will have his revenge on her asshole?

See, that's why they're not real Germans. Can't be trusted.

Saw that on Twitter. Was just about to reciprocate your "hope things are OK" text from yesterday until I remembered the obvious flaw. Fingers crossed the people and places we both know in the city are fine, anyway. I don't think my bumbling boss is capable of surviving in the wild. The vegan Bavarian lass would probably happily take on all-comers armed with a plank of wood though.

Aye, fair point both of you. Maybe the free gift tokens from the bags sellotaped to the inside of a card, then.

Is that your sister, Fish? If his next birthday present from her is a multipack of Walkers, we'll have our answer.

There's loads more sirens out and about here tonight than last night, but no reports of any real trouble so far. Anyone might cautiously conclude that a visible police presence acts as some kind of deterrent to greedy little feral thugs.

I'm a bit the same too even though it'd mean the nearest town centre getting properly trashed. Strange times.

Because that's where you were with that post.

A Serbian friend of mine says she's seen plenty of riots in her time and she's adamant this whole thing is being organised and funded by foreign mafia. Someone needs a crash course in the "tinpot democracy vs. feral underclass" distinction.
