“The last thing we want to have in our city is a situation such as Paris where the less well-off are pushed out to the suburbs. I’ll emphatically resist any attempt to recreate a London where the rich and poor cannot live together. People will always cry and say that I am at war with David Cameron [the Prime Minister] and try and get a headline out of that, but the fact is we are in detailed negotiations with the DWP, Iain Duncan Smith and his officials. What we will not see and we will not accept any kind of Kosovo-style social cleansing of London. On my watch, you are not going to see thousands of families evicted from the place where they have been living and have put down roots.”
— Boris Johnson (Mayor of London)

If this doesn’t make you laugh or smile, check your pulse. If you hear a metallic sound, then that explains your miserable existence.
“A player said to me Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were not good enough and he wasn’t prepared to wait. That is the problem with potential. People don’t identify potential. We are very good at it. I have identified it all my life. I know potential. I know where it can be developed and how to develop it. I have faith in it. That is what this club is about. When you see Manchester United at the moment, with 14 players under 22, you don’t see the Manchester United for years ahead. In terms of the future of Manchester United, there are a lot of things in my favour.”

Hey... waitaminute!
- USA: Europe! Europe, wait up!
- Europe: Oh, America! What's up? What's the matter?
- USA: Oh, Europe... *pants heavily, clearly out of breath* Thank God I found you. I've got terrible news.
- Europe: Oh no! What's happened??
- USA: Three of your cities are going to be attacked at the same time. Berlin, Paris, and France, to be precise.
- Europe: Are you serious?? Well, do you know who's behind it?
- USA: Oh yes! From what we understand, it's an al-Qaeda branch in Pakistan that's intending on carrying out these attacks.
- Europe: No way! ...wait. Pakistan? Isn't Pakistan one of you political allies?
- USA: Well... *nervous scoff* I mean... not really...
- Europe: So Bin Laden's behind this, then.
- USA: *clears throat* I have reason to believe he and his officials are behind this plot, yes.
- Europe: Soooo... he's not in Afghanistan, then.
- USA: Erm... ha, ha. *nervous smile* Er... no. I believe he's hiding in Pakistan now.
- Europe: Now?! What do you mean 'now?!'
- USA: I've told Pakistan already... I want them to look a little bit harder for him in the mountain area where he could be hiding! Jeez, what more do you want from me?!
- Europe: It's been ages, America. You haven't found this geriatric fucker yet?! His kidney's are failing, for fuck sake!
- USA: Look, don't shoot the messenger, gotdammit.
- Europe: *sighs impatiently* Right. So, what exactly are they planning to do?
- USA: Erm... I'm not exactly clear on that.
- Europe: *blank stare*
- USA: Look! All I'm saying is: 'Watch your ass.' I'm going to ramp up more drone attacks in Pakistan and, hopefully, I'll foil there little plan.
- Europe: *sighs, looking deflated* Whatever, America. Sometimes, I wonder who the REAL terrorist is.
- USA: What was that?!
- Europe: Hmm?
