View Article  THIS SITE IS MOVING

Over the coming week this site will be 'migrating' to a new domain... and, let's hope, a better life. The current (Trinity) test site is: http://bohodotcom.blogspot.com/

However within days... or perhaps even within months (assuming the ISP gets it frigging act together) we should be findable under the domain: www.boho.com

Good luck finding us (assuming you give a damn.)

View Article  "Haggis Eating Surrender Monkey"

Gordon Brown, leader of the Anglo-Caledonian alliance known as the 'Haggis Eating Arctic Surrender Monkeys' is tomorrow going to say that he is livid about the fact that his letter to Colonel Gaddafi demanding 'sensitivity' was leaked to the press.

Brown does not know how to express his outrage, partly because his speech has not yet been drafted by Lord Mandelson. But let there be no doubt: Outraged he is.

Brown wants an investigation. He cannot fathom why any official, adviser... any apparatchik could possibly suggest that he, the PM literally begged for sensitivity to be observed. The leader is known to be a subtle man - not one for blowing his own trumpet. And he wants this subtlety to remain just that: Something that only emerges when subtlety dictates.

So we are left asking, what is the cause of the surge of subtlety in this, our Scottish Prime Minister? Why would he not want his subtle letter to the Libyan Dictator to come out? "I'll just say this." said the PM. "You'll have to ask that bloody Glaswegian, Alex Salmond if yee want ta read the roons. I'm an Edinburgh man mah-self. And indeed we know just how ta do subtlety."

Specialists in the field of political correctness are tonight trying to determine whether calling a black woman 'a black man' should be deemed sexist, racist or both. A furore has emerged after the South African 800m runner Caster Semenya was considered too butch to be a woman. Members of the South African athletics squad have said that the accusation is essentially racist because it suggests that black women are more like men than white women.

"Puh-lease," said legendary feminist Germaine Greer tonight. "We all know that gender stereotypes are created by men to enslave women. Take my gorgeous tran-servant Carita Delilah Dubois (not literally of course... please don't take her, she's mine.). She's always thanking me for everything that I have done for 'us women' over the years, yet as soon as my back is turned she is out of her fishnets and mascara and knifing specimens of the Mexican street scum in downtown Trumpington. And so it is with us women. The only reason why women have muscles is because men invented the Olympics to hide their own gender insecurities. And then along comes Caster who is trying to conform to whatever the crypto-gay, misogynists consider to be 'In Vogue', and bang she is in the dog house (not literally of course, I hope.)

Specialists in the field of specialists tonight audaciously suggested that all of the journalists and academics currently trying to fill broadsheet and tabloid column inches alike with their takes on modern gender are totally clueless. Said one, herself a recent mother, "When you are born, they stick a pink bracelet on girls and a blue one on boys. But when we women are lying there watching it happen, do we complain? The fuck we do. We're just thinking, like the gal in the next bed, How can I lay my hands on some more of that lovely Fentanyl that the midwives were pumping into my spinal column just a while ago?"

View Article  Where there's oil there's (top) brass

There are hopes tonight that Pentagon hacker, Gary Mckinnon, might not be extradited after all, but may rather be allowed to serve his sentence in the UK after oil was found in his back garden. The hacker, who has by no means been resting on his laurels of late is understood to have been digging for oil, ever since his computer was taken away from him.

It is understood that as soon as Mckinnon hit the 'black gold' senior officials in both London and Washington were on the phone to one other negotiating a deal that could be worth millions of dollars. It is thought that if this deal can be struck with the Americans, then Mackinnon's future might be secured.

Last night at a joint UK/US teleconference a Pentagon official said, "Yes, this guy committed one of the most heinous acts of betrayal since Iscariot traduced JC. Yes, this guy hacked into 97 Military and Nasa computers. But that being said, oil is oil and we realise that this amazing find puts McKinnon into a whole new different league. We now realise that the poor boy - can I call him Gary? - probably took a 'bum rap' on this.

At the press conference Gordon Brown and Home Secretary Alan Johnson said that they were "obsequiously sorry for any misunderstanding and that British citizen, Mckinnon would be welcome to remain as the honoured guest of Her Majesty's Government."
