Liberation Day and Guernsey Futu

One of my current favourite websites is called Guernsey Futu. It is kind of a sarcastic take on Guernsey news and comes up with such classics as “Noonday gun job cruel metaphor for sexual impotency”, “Struggling banks turn to hedge-veg” and a particularly entertainig take on the electoral crisis entitled “Brown: ‘Britain is Futu’”.

Today is Liberation Day in Guernsey and this year they are celebrating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the island from the occupying forces of the Germans. Guernsey Futu has come up with a classic article entitled “Locals remember Red Cross hashish bonanza”. It had me giggling all the way through. I am not sure who writes this website but I think it is very very clever.

NB) Futu is a Guernsey patois word which means ‘tired’ (although I suspect it probably actually means “fucked” but I am unable to prove this!!!) This word is regularly used by my mother when I phone her up and ask her if she is alright… the inevitable response of “I’m futu” comes back.
