STOCK MARKET CRASH?

 It seems a lot of people in the know are predicting a stock market crash in the autumn (that's the fall for the colonists}

Obviously this is just speculation but the conditions seem right for something to happen with the massive debts and high spending many countries have.

I only have a few thousand pounds worth of shares but if the price is high in September I might think of selling I can always buy back later especially if the price goes down.

What do you think?

Welcome to the latest Music/Meme/Giffy/Stories/Random Stuff and mostly light hearted and fun thread 🥳🍻🥂🎸🎷🎻🎺🪇🥁🎶🎵🪉

 No politics and no cross blog drama.  Thank you

The theme today is a  unique idea 💡  from GG!  

Basically, what are some of the unusual (Obscure) voices and musical instruments found in songs!

I thought of Tom Waits and Bjork for unusual voices.  For instruments, I thought of the hurdy gurdy! 

 As always, in addition to the theme, please post and share any music you like, plus share the jokes, stories, memes etc!

Or just chat amongst yourself!

Politics American Presidents

We need a new thread and as politics seems to be a very popular subject , who is your favourite president of all time?

As politics can be depressing we all need something to cheer us up.

 And while you're all talking politics I'll be thinking of the world cup and other things.

Women Of Song

 Today we will begin this thread listening to songs named after women. It's like a theme thing, right? lol

Of course, all songs are welcome. And memes...and gifs...and silly jokes and stories and more songs. 

Relax and enjoy the day! 

Ok, now for the best part...the rules.

1. No politics

2. No religion

3. No fighting

4. Clover and I will be using our most extraordinary mod powers for the rule breakers! 

Donald Trump Buffalo spared from EID sacrifice in Bangladesh.

A Buffalo named Donald Trump for it's blond tuft has been spared from Eid al-Adha sacrifice after a last minute government intervention.

The rare albino, weighing nearly 700 kg had already been sold to a ritual slaughter.

But a home ministry official said on Wednesday that authorities had stepped in, citing safety concerns, following a surge of public interest ahead of Thursday festival.

The home minister ordered the Buffalo spared and the buyer refunded.

I'm guessing the public were just looking forward to the killing because of the animals nickname.

I'm sure that wouldn't be the case with Americans or would it?

CAN ATHEISTS BE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS OR DO YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN A GOD TO BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING?

 So this is a thread for a mass debate about religion of course you can talk about anything you want.

On a more important note I've backed Japan to win the world cup,win and place. The odds are 50/1 to win and 25/1 to reach the final. it's a bit of a longshot but I'm very impressed with this Japanese team.

HOT HOT HOT

 The weather in London this weekend is going to be Sunny and 90F. This is very unusual for us and even though shops have air conditioning we don't have it in our homes because this hot weather is very unusual so it's going to be a bit of a bastard but I'd rather this than freezing cold weather.

Maybe you Americans can give us some tips on how to stay cool.

Laurel And Hardy

Just recently I've been watching Laurel and Hardy films again and I think they are the greatest comedy duo of all time. It's incredible that some of these films are now 100 years old and still so funny and will still be watched in another 100 years. 

Of course there are many great comedians out there but will they still be funny in one hundred years time?

So let's have a comedy special and post your favourite funny stuff but if you want to carry on talking shit to each other or talk about politics and how great God is that's fine as well.
 

KING CHARLES THE THIRD ARRIVES IN AMERICA

 Diplomatic relations are strained between the USA and UK at the moment and Charles will try and help improve things with his visit but what should Charles apologize for.

1. Prince Harry

2.Meghan Markle

3. Prince Andrew

4.Keir Starmer 

Do you have any other suggestions?

Should Trump apologize for anything?

THE POPE SAID NO.

 As we know Christians are under attack from Muslims in many parts of the world. One place this is particularly bad is West Africa where thousands of Catholics are being massacred by Muslims.

So Erik Prince a former Seal and Catholic now boss of Blackwater which is an integrated private military went to see the Pope and his mafia and said if you fund us ( because the Vatican has lots of money) we will send a force to West Africa to protect the Catholics and the Pope said no.

As God isn't protecting the Catholics do you think it was right or wrong of the Pope to not want to protect the Catholics?

WHO THINKS RELIGION IS A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS?

THE GOD PEOPLE ARGUE THAT LIFE MUST HAVE BEEN CREATED BECAUSE IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT BUT THAT'S NOT PROOF OF A GOD BECAUSE YOU COULD ARGUE A GROUP OF ALIENS CREATED EVERYTHING BUT THEN THEY WOULD SAY BUT WHERE DID THE ALIENS COME FROM   AND I WOULD SAY WHERE DID GOD COME FROM.

ALSO THE BIBLE IS FULL OF CONTRADITIONS AND FULL OF FALSE FACTS, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE WORD OF GOD BUT GOD  AT THE TIME DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT TOOK BILLIONS OF YEARS FOR THE UNIVERSE TO FORM AND BILLIONS OF YEARS FOR THE EARTH TO BECOME A LIVEABLE PLANET NOT SIX DAYS AND NIGHTS IS ONE

 EXAMPLE OF THE BULLSHIT IN THE BIBLE.

LET THE DEBATE BEGIN.

 

WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF EUROPEANS HADN'T COLONIZED AMERICA?

 Indigenous people would have continued to develop and as the Native population increased they would be  forming trading partners. The Native American population would have controlled the Continent and the scale of disease from immigrants would have happened at a much slower rate though they would always been susceptible to European diseases but at the slower rate.

One interesting fact is there would have been no horses which were introduced by the Europeans though at a later date they may have been introduced at some stage. there were horses in North America but they had become extinct.

I think America would be very similar to India today in terms of advancement and technology unless Hitler had invaded and taken over America

There would have been no Atlantic slave trade and possibly without Americas help Hitler may have conquered Britain and gone on to world domination.

There's lots of other possibilities to what America would have looked like today would do you think?

HAS TRUMP FUCKED UP IN IRAN?

 SO A SIMPLE THREAD TODAY HAS TRUMP FUCKED UP IRAN OR WILL THE WORLD BE A BETTER PLACE WHEN AMERICA ENDS IT'S BOMBING CAMPAIGN.

THIS OP IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY PAUL THE UNITARD.

FOOTBALL WORLD CUP 2026

 Reading that Ursa's son has made the football team (I'll translate for Americans so it's a soccer team ) reminded me that the world cup in America Mexico and Canada in June is not far away.

Spain are favourites to win with England second favourites, the United States of America are 100/1 to win.

Of course we might have our very own reporter on the ground in Camilla who is going if Italy qualify they have a play off to reach the final.

I don't think Iran will be taking part. The very first game will be Mexico vs South Africa on the 11th of June.

The world cup will only take place if WW3 hasn't started.

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF FREE SPEECH WITH THE BEST MODS ON DISQUS

I actually hate banning people unless they do something illegal or break disqus rules but in the case of breaking disqus rules I will always give that person the chance to correct themselves before banning it's the British way.

During the great days of the British empire when we civilised the world we always gave people a fair trial before we shot them.

I might be slightly on the right of politics but I welcome people from the left to post here even though some of them are a bit mad because "JAW JAW IS BETTER THAN WAR WAR" also echo chambers are really boring.

It would be nice if people could be pleasant with one another but on a free speech blog you have to allow people to say what they like within the law and the rules of disqus.

So enjoy your time at COVERT PAULS.

COVERT PAUL{WAR EDITION}

Here's a new thread to carry on with the most talked about subject at the moment as relations between America and the UK sour because of our human rights lawyer Prime Minister who puts international law above our special relationship with America.

So carry on with the debate and do you think Trump is right or wrong to attack Iran?

War is a dirty business unfortunately sometimes necessary.
 

A NEW THREAD FOR FRED

 Fred a beloved member of our community {Fred loves himself very much} doesn't like it when there are too many comments on a thread so here's a new one for Fred and everyone else to peruse.

It's an open thread to post whatever you like as long as it doesn't break disqus rules.

So let's get ready like a freddie.

OBAMA SAYS ALIENS ARE REAL- BUT HE HASN'T SEEN ANY

On a recent podcast Obama said Aliens are real ,I don't think he was talking about illegal Aliens who we all know are real.

 He was talking about creatures that look like Bob but from another planet. He did say they aren't being kept at Area 51 but statistically they must exist, so I'm taking from that the US don't have any hidden away.

So do you believe in Aliens and have you ever seen one?

JESSE JACKSON HAS DIED AND SO HAS URSA'S CHANCES OF BEING A MOD

 

Jesse Jackson has died at the age of 84. I remember him in an episode of Lou Grant giving a motivation speech.

He fought for civil rights and especially for black people at a time when white men didn't like white women getting fucked by black men even though many white women loved to be fucked by a big beautiful black man with a big P-nice.

America use to be a very racist country and banned black people from white only spaces.

And now to Ursa. I considered making Ursa a mod but quite frankly he does associate with some strange people on another blog. So even though I like Ursa liking someone and trusting them are two different things, plus I only like to give mod positions to intellectuals yes it's true I did make Pony a mod once but that was because I felt sorry for him after he cried like a pussy when he lost his mod spot at Stan's.

So sorry Ursa but no can do.

AMERICAN POLITICS AND OTHER THINGS

 I'm staying out of this debate because I'm not American but politics seems to be the most popular subject. I'm British sort of even though I was born in Canada but having lived in the country that civilised the world for a long time I feel more British than Canadian.

So here's some questions.

1. Is Trump a good or bad President?

2.Who would you Democrats like to see as your next leader?

3. Who is the hottest woman in American politics?

4. Should Ursa be made a mod?

HAVE YOU EVER INSERTED A BOMB IN YOUR ANUS OR IS THIS JUST A FRENCH THING?

 A frenchman walked into a hospital in France with an 8-inch world war one bomb in his anus which was found out to still be live and the hospital had to be evacuated, obviously he got confused about what a good bang means.

I suppose he could have mistaken it for a dildo but dildos aren't usually made of metal though I'm not an expert in this matter so I'll have to ask Ursa he might know.

HOUSES

So it's that time of year again to renew my building insurance so I decided to have a survey to find out the rebuild cost and it came out as £786,545 this includes the demolition cost,legal fees and the complete rebuild because as you will know you insure the property for the rebuild cost not the value of the property.

This is  the cost of a 3 bedroom house in the part of London I live in . Other parts of the country you could probably have a six bedroom house built for that and I'm sure in some parts of America a small mansion.

It would be interesting to find out the value of property where you all live.

And now back to my favourite subject shops in Japan.

 

CAN LACK OF SEX MAKE YOU MISERABLE ?

If you don't have sex you may find your social life reduced and also find you are not exchanging any affection with another person. This easily leads to depression and anger.

Sex won't kill you but what a way to go if it does. Of course if you go with cheap whores like the people who post at "not Stan's blog" that could kill you but antibiotics will probably save you.

IT'S A MAD,MAD,MAD,MAD WORLD.

 I watched this film the other day for about the fifth time ,it's a brilliant comedy. Apparently the film was over three hours long but was reduced to two hours for it's release because they thought it was too long but the original version which you can now watch fly's by because it's non-stop entertainment.

Anyway it got me thinking what a mad world we really live in and thank goodness for bosoms to help take our minds off all the madness.

Of course this is what helps us men take our minds off the madness ,women will have a different view but not being a woman I can't speak for them but maybe something like picnics.
