Right, I'm taking a lead from our lad JM, and I'm making an entire thread to declare that there's a new update. Go and read it, its spiffy.

Entertaining rag paper bashing Chyld, thought that article never made it to the northern edition, probably because it's rather south-easty (aswell as highly inaccurate).

At a cynical guess I'd say the missing item was *drum roll*

....

'The Sun'!

Yes, not content with plugging their page 3 girls, and giving their white van driver readership a pat on the back, the countries biggest selling trash mag promotes itself.

Thank god you didn't buy a copy....

Quite spiffy. How are white vans even remotely specifically British?

I'll field this one.

The White Ford transit van is a common sight on British roads, normally employeed for light goods transportation. The drivers of said Van tend to read the red papers (The sun, the star, mirror, and sport), eat pork pies, and have arses the size of manchester.

Buy The Sun? I can barely afford to feed myself, and considering that I've been sponging off of the parents for four months, that says something.

And methinks The Sun would have been a lot more smug if they'd made the list. Half of Page Three was taken up with "WE GOT INTO TEH BIG LISTT!!!!111 ROFL!" The other half... well, its not hard, really. I imagine if they'd made the list themselves, it'd have hit page one.

Word on the pint glasses. Most beer here is drunk either from the bottle(if it's of drinkable size, drinking from a longneck or whatnot is considered bad form)or in midi glasses. Pint glasses are usually only used when drinking British and Irish beers. As that's about the only beer that I drink, I find pint glasses quite ordinary, but a lot of "more Australian" Australians don't.

AND they fucking insist on beeping at me when I'm walking along becasue the moronic drivers inside insist that it's funny to beep at fat ugly women as if to somehow say 'You're fat and ugly (incase you didn't realise) and for that you must be punished by my humiliation of you on a daily basis'.

Now come on my dear, there's no way they can be Chavs. Chavs are a recent trend, and they all have their driving licenses revoked for speeding their spoiler heavy Volkwagons in built up areas.

Surely the correct term would be Knuckle dragging Oiks.

I always imagined oiks to have a kind of self-deprecating humour about them, whereas chavs haven't got any sense of humour, subtlety, irony, style, respect, dignity, wit, manners or worth.

Arseholes.
