Linux

Contrary to what is claimed by many Windows-haters, not all versions of Linux are particularly good. The price you pay a stable OS is the amount of fuss and bother you undergo in trying to find a decent version of it!
I installed the free version of Linux that came with the book "Linux for Dummies". It didn't work. I am still trying to work out if there is any irony in the preceding two sentences.

MAKING THE BEAST WITH 2 BACKS

Sexual intercourse.

The actual expression is hundreds of years old, and was made famous by Shakespeare in Othello.
BRABANTIO: What profane wretch art thou?
IAGO: I am one, sir, that comes to tell you, your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.

(Othello, Act 1, Scene 1).

England Header Rule

Enough of this bullshit irony.

In Euro 2004, the only person Sol Campbell fouled to score his perfectly legitimate winning goal against Portugual (which was subsequently disallowed) was *his own team-mate* - i.e. John Terry.

Urs Meier the referee deserved everything he got after that.
The so-called "England Header Rule" is a cynical attempt to deny the achievements of our Football team.

Taboo

1. (Original meaning) "Sacred" - something too sacred in fact for it to be allowed to be profaned by the common people.

2. The exact opposite of Sacred - something that is too profane for the common herd!
1. Village Elder: don't desecrate the shrine, it's taboo.

2. Moron: 'Ere, don't you be talking about incest or bestiality, it's taboo!
