  1. You should be commended, frankly.

    This is a far better use of a persons time than dressing in a toga and praying to trees. Good luck with the campaign. I hope you're protesting in the correct manner and not relying on some sort of curse thingy that you give the developers by dancing around crab-like in a park at dusk, while reciting the Lord's Prayer backwards or something. wink.gif

    Thank you.

    No, no toga's involved. Or curses, crab-like dancing or reciting fictional poetry backwards.

    There was fruit tea from a hippy café, placards, politicians from all parties but the Tories, a second-hand bookshop involved and afternoon tea with the rugby afterwards in my friends' flat that overlooks Otaga Lane; she has a beautiful altar and he has an extensive library of Egytptology. Yes, they're Pagan too!smile.gif

  2. No.

    It needs to be a post where you say it would be good to donate money to charity or something.

    Okay. I was out with friends at a demonstration yesterday to fight to save Otago Lane in the West End of Glasgow from a hideous building development that will ruin the local area. I'm also in the crowd photo on page 22 of today's Sunday Herald.....

    Is that "worthy" enough to test the usual opprobrium?!

    Not that I'm on the wind-up, of course!whistling.gif

  3. PTTGOYN thread for this pish.

    I don't consider it that noteworthy.

    Do you not think if you stopped reacting to it like this it would stop happening? People are clearly just doing it for a laugh now, as you seem to get a large amount of them, far more than a few 'stalkers' as you put it would be able to dish out.

    I did but it hasn't.

    Added to that, it's my first day back after a four day break, the airport is dead, I've done all my work, I'm bored shitless, it's snowing and I can't get on Facebook which is a lot more rewarding and a lot less petty and there's too many people about to try the finger lifting thingy mentioned on the other thread.rolleyes.gif

  4. He'll be queuing for tickets for something. And, if so, my son or daughter or both may be with him. The last time they turned up at a reasonable time for tickets (if anyone can call 06:30 reasonable) they missed out on a special wristband or some such. rolleyes.gif

    Could we please have an additional box to register tedious fuckwittery, seeing as this "controversial" post was apparently worth a minus point? Either that or have a cut-off point for voting so that by, say 10:00 am the sad acts will have spurted their loads and we can all get on with the day in peace.

    It really does highlight the banal stupidity of this system.

    And for those who usually do jump in right about now, don't bother - it's not the "points" that I give a shit about, it's just the annoyance of knowing that whatever I post, the same bunch of pathetic stalkers will trawl the site and spunk over their keyboards as they click on their vote buttons and shoot off their daily quota.

    This is a thing I want to share with P&B.wink.gif

    I feel better for that!smile.gif

  5. I'd never seen Enoch Showunmi before, but my suspicions he was a bulky black man have just been confirmed.

    That was hilarious. He easily brushes the Aberdeen boy off and prepares for a cross into the box, only for the wee laddie to clip his heels and bring him down. Then he turns round and squares up to the offender and the ref bravely jmups inbetween the pair!laugh.gif

    Curses! Been spotted!

  6. I'm finding that VO5 advert where the boy and the burd carry their own heads about a bit disturbing.

    I quite agree. Very surreal. A bit like Jan Svankmajer's "Alice" where the White rabbit keeps having to pour his sawdust stuffing back in and sewing himself up.....

    .....what do you mean, you're not familiar with Czechoslovakian stop-frame-animation Surrealism?blink.gif

  7. The only nail clippers I have in the flat are fucking shit. They seem to just be able to make weird indentations into my nails, instead of cutting through them.

    The keratin that forms your nails is extremely tough and sometimes nail clippers don't do the job if your nails are particularly dry. If you have time, give yourself a footspa and after 15 minutes the nails will have softened sufficiently to allow a pair of childproof plastic safety scissors to give them a trim.wink.gif

    The commentators are Graham Bell and Ed Leigh. They're geunuinely passionate about it and that comes across, which I think makes it even better to watch. It has been a brilliant addition to the games.

    Aye, fair enough. It must just have been the "shoutiness" thing that late at night/early afternoon that got to me. The ski-ing itself was great to watch with the sound down.smile.gif

    I just got home from school and got changed and there was a bird shit on my shirt, which has been there for at least 2 periods mad.gif

    You've had the same shirt on for two months!!ohmy.gif

  8. SkiCross at the Olympics! I saw a bit of it last night but switched it off after 10 minutes, thinking it was just me being tired after having a very full day out. But the repeat highlights are on just now and it's still the same. The ex-skier commentator is screaming his commentary at every race like Murray Walker on speed, he keeps getting the names of the competitors wrong "Oh, oh it's Hayer, Hayer's gone, Blissard has taken him out........no that's Flisar...I used to ski with him and he's awesome....Oh, oh that's BRILLIANT on the turn.....OH NO, he's gone, he's gone, he's lost it at the corner, that's a tragedy....." and he constantly interrupts the guy commentating alongside him who is the one who actually seems to know what he's talking about.

  9. laugh.gif Bet you that was exciting.

    Oops. Missed you for a minute there. Sorry.

    Aye, it was actually. I went round with one of my friends who is extremely knowedgeable about crystals and who was very helpful in advising on ones to mark the four point daily solar circle. I also got a beautiful silver Goddess pendant like this.....

    ...with a moonstone set in it.......

    Hang about.....you weren't being serious, were you!laugh.gif

  10. Makes sense. If folk are mental enough to swallow things like crystal therapy and spiritualism, then there's a good chance they'll swallow all the 'Jesus' shit.

    Aye, I suppose you could look at it like that. It's just that they seemed to be as appropriate as a pork chop at a Barmitzvah!laugh.gif

    Oh well, a few people took a leaflet out of politeness but I don't think anyone was won over, but full marks to them for trying anyway! I'll look out to see if they're there tomorrow!

  11. The Body and Soul Exhibition in Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall was excellent and I'm going with some other friends again tomorrow. The only puzzling thing was that there was a small stall with two people handing out leaflets explaining how Jesus is the true faith and how he can heal you and save your soul.

    Now I'm NOT having a go, and nobody paid them much mind, but I couldn't help wondering. The hall was full of exhibitors with aromatherapy kits, reiki treatments, Indian head massage, Shamanic drum healing, herbologists, crystal therapists, feng shuei, shiatsu, spiritualism, meditation and visualisation techniques and the like.

    Did they get booked into the wrong gig or were they hoping for some sort of mass conversion to take place!blink.gif
