Monster Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 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..... http://www.saveotagolane.co.uk/Save.html Is that "worthy" enough to test the usual opprobrium?! Not that I'm on the wind-up, of course! 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyTillIDie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm wide awake right now, whereas normally at this time on a Sunday I'm nearly falling asleep. And my girlfriend's going in for an operation tomorrow and I'm wanting to send flowers to her house, but it's bloody expensive - I mean, 30 odd quid? What a larf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There she'll be, miserable and frightened, and there you'll be, flush. No option - let the bitch greet and go buy cider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyTillIDie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Would you not be better buying her Y-fronts and a Gilette Fusion? Very good. Totally. There she'll be, miserable and frightened, and there you'll be, flush. No option - let the bitch greet and go buy cider. I'm starting to think the £30 would be better off spent elsewhere, for instance booze for when she can drink again after the operation. Sure, the flowers will look pretty for, what, a week? Then they'll start to die and eventually smell, and then they'll be in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they'll start to die and eventually smell, and then they'll be in the bin. Sure the flowers might only last a few days but she'll remember for ever if you don't buy them.

MarvMarvSuperMarv Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I was on the bus going to my girlfriends today and the driver stopped for an old man at the stop, as normal. But then got out the bus, a went into a nearby shop. Leaving me, his money, the bus and his keys in the bus. With the doors open! I thought someone was going to steal the bus, the money and me. When I got off he didn't realise I was still on as he didn't open the doors until I said 'excuse me' It didn't bother me though, made me laugh the driver coming back with a couple bottles of irn bru and a paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 In all seriousness, buy the flowers. To me and you, it seems like it's a lot of money for very little, but I bought my lass some flowers for her birthday, and she absolutely loved them. I didn't think she would, but she really did. At the end of the day, I think it's something they can stick in a vase and say to people "Look at that, somebody bought me those!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Buy the flowers, but get a nice bunch from a supermarket and take the labels off. Get some nice paper and a wee ribbon or something to wrap them in so you've made a bit of effort with it. Much cheaper and still a nice gift for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she lived nearby then this is what I'd have done in all honesty, but she lives in Prestwick and I don't have time to go down there this week due to my exams. Delivery is the only option, and after reading yours and Dunc's posts then I'll probably head down to the florists in the morning and get them ordered. She better appreciate them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
