Some fine specimens.

Is the fella holding the picture you??

Millsy the ‘woman’ with brown teeth?

    I don’t TRUSSt her at all.

    That’s why I call her MISS TRUSSt !

    (geddit lads?!)

    So funny watching the body language between ex PMs. How Gordon Brown would far rather talk to Boris than Blair.

    Amps

    Wayne really nails it there…

      Congratulations for having a king again. Broads, eh?

      Homegrove When I see all this nonsense, all I can think of is the woman interviewed on the BBC who said she voted leave in the Brexit referendum ’because it’s what her dead dad would have wanted’. The general public are terrifying.

          Amps it’s the old Carlin-bit about how stupid the average person is. Then consider that average means that half of the population is even stupider.

              zackster this was quite funny actually. I noticed he pocketed the pen and then William had to wait for the pen tray to come back

                Fuck me is there anything else happening on the planet other than the queen karking it? Fucking sick of it now. Just want to see the normal news FFS.
                Like Ukraine kicking Rusky ass…or trump getting served. Or anything just not the fucking queen.
                Apparently, according to the BBC news, the reality of her dying won’t set in until you see the coffin leaving in the motor. Believe me, the reality has well and truly set in already.

                  I hardly ever watched normal TV, so it’s a doddle to avoid.

                  A bank holiday next Monday will be nice. I hope my favourite local restaurant is open, that’ll fuck me off.

                  We had an end of summer staff event booked in for next week….bbq, free bar etc. Its been cancelled because ‘its not appropriate to be seen to be having fun at the moment’.

                  Also been offered bereavement counselling by my employer ffs!

                    According to the BBC world news she’s ‘the Queen of the world’ not just the commonwealth.
                    Haha the absolute brass neck arrogance of these sniveling royalist cunts. Is it any surprise most of the world fucking hate us with statements like that?

                    Anyone want to start a poll or take the odds on how long it will take Charles to pop his clogs now he’s finally king? I’d say 2 years max and then sausage fingers croaks.

                    It’s all kicking off on Twitter about the inheritance tax swindle

                    technically that’s only true under a very specific set of conditions that you wouldn’t expect to hold in the real world, i.e. a perfectly symmetrical, normally distributed mesokurtic data set.

                    What he’s really talking about here is the median - but that joke would be lost on the average audience I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️/Hugo]

                          We’ll get through this together, I’m here for you hun xox

                            There isn’t a dictactor whose arse Bliar wouldn’t kiss for his own enrichment

                            Lol, yes well for one thing it will depend on how you’re measuring stupidity/intelligence. It also depends on what population you’re considering.

                            An obvious example might be a typical IQ test, though the results of those are as you suggest typically normalised to a perfectly symmetrical standard distribution. It’s actually surprisingly difficult to find studies which monitor the IQ of a sizeable population and show how the results are distributed without being normalised.

                            However, I did find these two papers which appear to be among the most thorough studies out there and which also appear to come to similar conclusions to each other at least with regards to the averages and skew. They’re also both based on data from the UK.

                            TLDR - it appears IQ is pretty close to a standard/symmetrical distribution, but with a slight negative skew. i.e. the tail of “idiots” is slightly longer than that of “geniuses”. So if as per the joke you did pick the median average person on the street (the person at the half-way mark if you lined all the humans in a row) they would actually be a teensy bit more intelligent than the mean average intelligence of all the population.

                            So the mean average would still be around 100, but the median average person will be slightly higher at an estimate of maybe 101-102, and the modal average (the most common inidividual result) of maybe 105.

                            I’ve added the graph below it from wiki to help you visualise where the drawing of the mean, median and mode lines would fall on such a chart considering my points above and the apparent negative skew of IQ (but the size of the skew in the illustration is a bit larger/less symmetrical than what is probably the case).

                            Final point - to reiterate the above are focused on studies of the UK, where the mean average is about 100. Different countries will have a different population average IQ, but the shape of the curve could well be consistent across different populations.

                            PS I’m aware this isn’t that funny.

                                C_J I don’t give a shit about everything else you wrote - but I just want to 👏 for using the word ‘mesokurtic’
