By now you'll probably have heard that cheap clobber megastore T.K. Maxx has been selling these (Swiss army) knives with hoodies attached. Or is the other way round? Yeah, I think it is: hoodies with those deadly (Swiss army) knives sewn into the lining. Either way, it's fucking disgraceful. I was so shocked I had to call up Boris Johnson's office to see if I could get the albino labrador lookalike to make some sense of it all. Unfortunately Boris had popped to the shop to get some Jaffa Cakes when I rang, but I managed to speak to his very helpful secretary, Melissa, who was more than willing to answer my questions.
Prancehall: So you can now buy hooded jackets with knives attached?
Melissa: Yeah.
That's pretty fucked up, right?
Yeah.
OK, thanks. Bye.

Of course this was old news when the Maily Telegraph reported on the Sun's story three days ago - BUT, more importantly, identified the Swiss army-knife as a "Vecorinox". I'm not sure who's winning any more.

What's the big deal... my dad gave me a pocketknife when I was about 10 years old. They're quite handy.
I still carry one to this day & I have yet to stab a single person.

Shouldn't you sensitive brits be fighting each other with magic spells or something?

"Shouldn't you sensitive brits be fighting each other with magic spells or something?"
Hilarious.
