Labour

A socialist political party currently in power in the United Kingdom. Known for quick-fix solutions and crap handling of the economy. Best prime minister so far was Clement Atlee who managed wo things in nearly six years- Beating Churchill out of government, and making the national health service.

The last Labour government under James Callaghan taxed @ 98% for any earnings over £100,000. A great way to get people to work for british business. Thankfully, it was reversed by good old Maggie Thacher

putting on the jacket

A phrase of Ned Kelly origin, that refers to police officers. The police of the times were characterised by thier jackets, which are notably absent from the uniform of today. Kelly was notoriously a hater of the police. Putting on the jacket refers to enroling at a police station.

By putting on the jacket, one signs themselves up for hatred from the criminals of the world.

need-to-know basis

Fairly self-explainatory, a tight security method in which information is only given to those who can present a good case for knowing about a project.

The example is classified, and given out on a need-to-know basis only. Obviously, it isn't funny.

world's strongest man

Reknowned strongman competition started in 1977. It involves Several heats who get various points for thier placings in events such as the farmers walk. The weights used in such competitions vary, but 300lb is the lowest generally. Certain stationary endurance events will go over 1000lb.


When first started, the leaderboard was set ablaze by the United States, although this stranglehold (The first three years there were anomalous Europeans getting on the board) was quickly diminished, and Northern Europe has become the dominant power.

The greatest show of force however, is two Icelandians; Magnus Ver Magnusson and Jon Pall Sigmarson, who have each won it four times. There have been a few winners from the UK and central Europe, although Mariusz Pudzianowski (Representing Poland) has blown the competition away since his first entry, along with fellow eastern Europeans
