You know that film, This is England... well This is Essex!

This is a half-million pound house near where my parents live - incidentally, surprisingly not a BNP area!... at least as far as I am aware.

Chic or what!

    For the moment, words fail me.

    The pain of someone defacing a perfectly fine house (in my hometown) is too great.

    aren't you proud of your nation Marcus?
    I was thinking on doing that to the flat, the external facade is too white.

    The BNP website states that the best red stripes are made with the blood of half a dozen Frenchmen. Spanish blood is also know to have been used (with mixed results)

    what about this Marcus?


    p.s.: no french or spanish blood was used on the making of this picture.

    I still haven't got past feelings of tragedy to express myself on this issue. It reminds me of a similarly decorated butcher's shop in Lancaster where the slogan above the window reads: "British meat at it's best" There is no apostrophe in its as a possessive pronoun, but only in the contracted form of "it is". If you are going to be proud of a state you have practically no personal connection, at least the language. Please! It's "yours", "hers", "his" Why the fuck would "it" change to "it's"? Please don't get me wrong: I am not a grammar purist either (I read chickerino.com quite calmly overlooking many trouble spots :D The above noted contradiction is the main point. As a remedy, I would first like to recommend my professor's book. Secondly, in such moments, I have to listen an ADF album through.

    "at least learn the language" I wanted to write. Amazing! Unintentionally proving my laissez-faire nature to language. I should become a linguist or some shit like that.

    You must be more careful with your next posting! You're obviously capable of starting a revolution!

    Stop taking pictures of my house. If I see you hanging around here again I will unleash the Staffies on you.

    They move much faster since I started loading them into the trebuchet.
