One time in a tech class someone asked the teacher what he would do if someone tried to attack him with a chisel, his exact words were: "if we're being attacked we're authorised to use whatever force we deem necessary to protect ourselves, in that situation the force I'd deem necessary would be to batter him round the head with a chair" Which was surprising, he never struck you as the violent type.

I am watching Match of the Day in HD for the first time on the new telly I got with my Christmas money Shitting hell This is amazing

Rangers players voting Yes and the assorted seethe it's caused is just delightful. I feel as if the prospective effect an independent Scotland would have on Rangers fans should have been a bigger thing for the Yes side. It would have been worth it to send them all mad, surely. PS

What annoyed me more about this advert when I first saw it was how they kept saying it was a 1:1 scale model. No it isn't. If it was a 1:1 model then £893 would be considerably better value.

Birch Barlow: Mayor Quimby, you are well known for your lenient stance on crime, but suppose for a second that your house was ransacked by thugs, your family was tied up in the basement with socks in their mouths, you try to open the door but there's too much blood on the knob.... Mayor Quimby: What is your, ah, question? Birch Barlow: My question is about the budget, sir.

Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry, do they?

"reality," eh?

Lewis Macleod allegedly on the way to Brentford for one million pounds. How long until that money gets pissed into the ether?

You're a bit late bringing that up 2946 posts later.

You should have kept the lid on it.

You know those videos of football with Spanish commentary where the commentators are completely unbearable? Well, it's spreading to other sports: (also I managed to delete this by accident after posting it the first time)

I sleep in a drawer!

Since there was discussion of the irrational fears of women at the start of the thread: There was a female maths teacher at my school who was scared of sunflowers.

It picked up as it went on but overall I think it suffered from obviously being two or three ideas melded together into something longer. Social rejects being guided by smarmy c***s is an idea in its own (hey, maybe one of the Don Drapers goes rogue and gets his slave to go rob a bank or something), blocking people is an idea in its own (albeit a flimsy one that you'd struggle to get an hour's episode out of) and then the Cookie thing is an episode on its own. They all tie together, slightly, but not really satisfyingly enough, I think. And unlike some of the previous ones which featured implausible premises and even more unlikely resolutions, some of the logic in this was just ridiculous. So, you can get someone pregnant, then they can prevent all direct contact with you, and the child? Bullshit. There's no way at all that could ever happen. But yeah, felt like a few ideas in one, not really sure how well it was ultimately executed. Not sure it should have been a feature-length effort.

Not sure what I think of this so far. Feels like a few idea thrown together into one thing rather than a distinct story on its own. Perhaps us being on the 5th advert break within the hour isn't helping this, however.

I know I'm looking forward to some dystopian misery in the run-up to Christmas.

Ended up a lassie came up the queue with a clipboard for folk who weren't students. Gig was astonishing, as expected. Although Fatherson might be the most irritating looking assortment of people I've ever seen on a stage.

What was the Mumsnet thread?
