There are an awful lot of people I would happily nominate for the boiling water challenge...

Surely not Simon Weston?  

Would he feel it?

That was the first name that popped into my head as well...

What's wrong with you two....Justin Beiber still walks the Earth and you'd nominate Simon Weston to have boiling water poured on his head.

I'd have Beiber flung into a lake of boiling lava

Never understood why people get wound up by the likes of Beiber or One Direction. I am never going to buy one of their records, attend one of their gigs and they almost never feature in any papers or books I read, or appear on TV's I watch. As such they have an absolutely minimal impact on my life. Get the impression people go out of their way to get wound up by such folk.

Their earning a living, without impacting on me, good luck to them.

*They're

That is a pretty poor one Union, must be talking about Beiber sending me all a flutter.

Theirs no excuse for it Jeff.

I see what you did their

C'mon jeff, they're must be an obscure bantamweight from the 1890s that you'd like to throw into a lake of boiling lava.

I nominate Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary but only after I've had a one on one no weapons fight with him. After the boiling water the governemt would have to revoke his passport and send him back to Egypt where he came from.

Leave me alone.

Him handing you your backside would only be a punishment for you, sean.

That is a risk I'd be willing to take. The way I see it, a lot of these jihadists are bullied kids who had no respect. Looks like a scrawny tw@t and they have no heart.

Who is he?

Please lets not turn this place into the off topic section. Quite enough ill informed drivel masquerading as political discussion over there without it becoming a feature on here.

Union Cane wrote:Who is he?

A grime rapper.

I'd also like to have a ruck wih Piers Morgan.

And Chris Froome, and Nico Rosberg actually.

Do you keep this quote on file ROWLEY as it's one you drag screaming into the sunlight to reproduce seemingly verbatim every so often.

As for Beiber, whilst his music is as insipid as anything that's been released in recent history (or even the glorious "I remember when music was in black and white and all this was fileds" era of music as far as you're concerned) it's his obnoxious personality, sorry, "personality" that grates on his detractors as much as anything else. A truly obnoxious little tw@t who makes me think that some of these "Death to the West" fanatics might be onto something if this is the best a civilized society can produce.

I think he is funny, what is the point of being young and rich if not to act like a complete tool. Still intrigued as to why a metal fan from Bradford would hear so much of Beiber's music. I genuinely think I can't name more than one song and I'm not particularly certain what that is called, is the one that goes baby, baby, baby a lot. Me getting wound up by Beiber is like me getting wound up about the bin collection schedule in Rochdale.

He regularly features in the Lost in Showbiz column on the Guardian website, I am an avid reader of said column.

I think he's a tw@t...as for why/how a fan of Death Metal knows about his music, my life isn't (sadly) one long moshpit. I have nieces and nephews who blather on about him and from what I've seen and heard and read...he is a blight on society.

Yeah, the industrial mix which sadly did little to detract from the Jonathan King connection and therefore anyone caught "dancing" to it was automatically arrested by officers from Operation Yewtree

Thats gonna screw the office Christmas party mega mix up if Cliff Richard Tino gets sent down

Having seen the footage of Slade on Top on the Pops in the '70s performing 'Merry Christmas Everybody', I think it's only a matter of time before you can cross that song off the Christmas megamix playlists.

To be honest it'll make a pleasant change from all the post Xmas party assault allegations and the fire Service having to free some fat git from the photocopier after his arse copying escapades go tragically wrong. That and finding out someone's puked in your desk drawer.

I thought it should be crossed off the list as it's sh!t.

"Are you hanging up your stockings on the wall?" No, at the foot of the bed or on the fireplace like normal people.

Only 20 Friday's 'till Christmas...

Never had an office party misdemeanour. Nearest I came was nearly boning a 40 something colleague (as a 25ish year old) who's partner was the Martial arts / cage fighting coach at the local gym.

Many years ago at a my old nick, during one Christmas do, one woman happily serviced a number of detectives in the snooker room and two officers got arrested for fighting. In a room of 200 people there wasn't a single witness who saw them both showing off trying to impress the big t!tted typist then coming to blows when it went too far and one ended up with a broken nose as the result of a headbutt.

Great days

Which one did you end up with?

Great work on the DM site, michaels. Your Rainbow Bridge post should be trotted out next time there's an article about a dead animal, preferably one shot by an American. These articles appear daily (unfortunately they disappear from the main page after a day or so so can't be enjoyed for posterity).

Thank you, dagless. DM is a Poopie substitute for this site but it does provide its own accidental entertainment.

By the way, has anyone brought up the possibility that Tino is Jihad John? Would make sense as his missus is Canadian so must dislike Americans.

Jihad John wasn't wearing a pastel coloured jumper from Next, Galted.

Rowley, are you that squirming bloke from Rotherham who won't resign?
