‘Btw, the chap on the Samizdata thread who calls him a "scrawny get" is dead wrong; I’ve bumped into him a couple of times round and about Camden and he is pretty stocky for a junkie.’
Maybe he had PD confused with his missus.

Yes, very well, but nobody is more of a cunt than Robbie Williams, except his songwriter Guy Chambers who called his child "Isis Bunny". I hope she brains him with a hammer while roaring inarticulately when she grows up.

I just ran at him, waving the hammer...

Fuck me. Wouldn't he have been 'within his rights' to shoot her?

Well, you see, the proprietor of this site is called John, and in my opinion he's not often wrong.

Like if you started a website, and the things you posed on it were usually not wrong, I might say "You're not often wrong, Jimmy". It's a phrase in fairly common usage, isn't it?

"You're not often wrong, John"

Sorry John, but I’m a whiny noise-complaining ninny too. A bit of noise now and again I’m not too bothered about. But constant noise coming from next-door’s hi-fi is not reasonable. A couple of years ago, I had an upstairs neighbour who kept playing "Eye of the Tiger". On repeat play. I was close to getting the hammer out, myself.

Whenever I read Samizdata I feel like I’ve suffered a head wound. D’you think I’d be able to get away with stabbing them all in self-defence?

Hmmmm, on the whole, now that I’m getting into the swing of "vigilante justice", I think that my ideal outcome would be for Pete Doherty to beat the living crap out of Samizdata, give up heroin and then buy some headphones. Btw, the chap on the Samizdata thread who calls him a "scrawny get" is dead wrong; I’ve bumped into him a couple of times round and about Camden and he is pretty stocky for a junkie.

The Samizdata post is rather OTT though. It ends in a form of death chant.

You’re not often wrong, John, but you’re dead wrong on this one; junkies who don’t turn their music down after midnight are perfectly suitable candidates for vigilante justice, although in the spirit of proportionate response I would tend to advocate swinging the hammer in the direction of the offending stereo rather than the owner. I adopt the approach that if someone wants to have a party every now and then, fair enough, but being unable to sleep in your own bed every night of the week is just bloody miserable and not something that anyone should have to put up with.
