UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the heller-uses-easydns dept.

asobala writes "According to this story at The Register, the UK parliament is using the domain www.parliament.uk. It's a top-level domain because it was registered before August 1996, before Nominet handled .uk domains. But since there is no registrar, they can't prove that they own it."

    You know why? Their cigarettes. They've got these fucking cool exotic brands that I can't pronounce, like Gauloises. Hell, what do we have in the good old USofA? Fuckin Camels. Who are you going to impress with Camels? A motherfucker whips out a pack of Players, however, and you think "now here's a guy with some fucking class."

    Fuck you, Europe and your amazingly delicious cigarettes.

    By the way, how do you pronounce Gauloises?

      "Goal wazz", more or less. It's a traditional British word borrowed by another European nation a couple of years ago, apparently.

      "good old USofA"? Try:
      "good old USofA's [i]gas stations[/i]".
      Find a real smoke shop. You'll have a heart attack at the selections. Or roll your own. There is _nothing_ anywhere prepackaged like a quality hand-rolled with a fine, fresh tobacco.
      Let these 'gauloises' and 'players' smokers have there dry, crunchy, smoke flavored air.

    Today's episode of American Culture was brought to you by...

    I think our culture sucks nuts, but that doesn't mean our country does. By your reasoning, if I think the traffic light by my house takes way too long to change, I should just get the fuck out of the country.

    I don't know why I'm responding to someone whose first volley involved penile derision.

    If you're going to bother to reply to something I post, at least think up something intelligent to say. Or, actually - you'd probably have to hire someone to think up something intelligent for you to say, since you're a fucking moron.

    Don't bother replying again. You've obviously got no argument against your filthy suburbanite longing to be in another country where Dr. Phil doesn't reign supreme.
