ffs he hasn't died yet. Yes he's going to, but arn't we all eventually. Don't know about anybody else but I would be dismayed to have people writing me off in public prior to my death.
One thing though, makes you think that he could pass away on the day they allow 24hr drinking................

Oh the irony!

Ooo, well, I dunno so much about the 'stalking' element - but there are certainly a couple of people here who I find particularly interesting in their views, opinions and general contributions to threads, and I do tend to follow a thread if they're posting in it redface

redface

redface

does that make me a thread stalker? or just interested?

this would actually be reaaly easy to do ( ok, not that easy but would definately be cheap- fondant icing, food colouring and a creative hand - would actually be a really nice wedding token gift too!
get handy with kids plasticine for practice, fondant icing even comes in ready-to-roll blocks! nimble finfers and a couple of cocktail sticks for detailing and you're well away! wink

wink

I've done Xmas cakes with figures on..... dunno if i'm competent enough for wedding figures tho redface

redface

Edit: ooooo that Ebay link to the Thai artists is brilliant, forget the fondant icing luv!

There is no mention on Nizlopi's official website that any portion of the money from the single is going to any anti-bullying charity, or any charity.
In addition, the group want everyone to hold off buying the single until December 12, so that they can be the Christmas number one - those are your orders!

I concur! I've googled, been on the beat bullying & other agencies sites and On the Nizlopi site, and no where does it say that any proceeds from this single will be donated to charity. I'm actually stunned at this! a damn good opportunity missed.
As far as I'm aware though, it's never actually been marketed as a charity single - it was Angel Chat who made me think 'hang on a minute' ! (thankyou), so yes, one very very clever piece of marketing for it to coincide with anti-bullying week mad

mad

if it's not actually doing so for that purpose (did that make sense?)
Having said that, I'm still a fan of the song itself & its content, and my little one loves it - but I definately wont be buying it, I'll download for free! :twisted:

24 Nov 2005

bumping, from page 3 :shock:

24 Nov 2005

there's a but
before we all rush out and buy the single....
i'm not sure that the proceeds of the sale of this single are going to any anti-bullying charity. Need to check this!!
I'm not sure whether it was very clever on the part of the artist re the release timing, or wether its just coinidence, or if it was released for anti-bullying week and a percentage of sales is going to charity.
runs off to find out!

Seriously tho I applaud some councils for tackling it but its like sticking an elastoplast over an elephants arse if not done right.

You dont mind if I use that quote in my next team meeting do you?! - that just about sums it up in a one liner that will ensure the funding board at least switches on and listens to me! worship

worship

The song itself though its bloody brilliant - on surface value, and what most people will hear, is pretty much Mike's perception - its a song about some bloke blocking the roads with his JBC from the view of a 5 year old.
When you dig into it (no pun intended rolleyes

rolleyes

haha) a little more, its written by a guy about his memories of being young, his relationship with his dad (the hero, the guy he looks up to and protects him) , the sense of importance and power a kid feels because the JCB is a bloody big powerful machine, driven by his dad just increases this feeling more.
The bit about the 'sitting on the toolbox with me bum rattling' gets me every time - its a memory that sticks, like granny's apple pie or your grandad sitting by the fire telling you stories about the war. It stays with you - just as being victimised at school does.
oh bugger it, i'm gonna buy the single biggrin

I just don't think that as a song it will do anything to stop bullying. You tell me where the problem lies when you sit in a doctors surgery with your child and hear her say she wishes she was dead because of bullying.
No song will solve the problem.
When you have to formally threaten the local education department with a writ for failure to keep your child safe, along with the Governors of the school responsible and teachers when she comes home pouring of blood becuase an 11 year old high on booze and drugs decides she did not like her because she was prettier than her and tried to take her eye out with a metal umbrella.
Until something is done at the core we will never stop bullying and I find songs as inane as this one cause more of a problem than they solve.
But thats just me others may have a different view and I respect that.
Each to their own
Steph

of course Steph - the song on its own wont do anything, and I'm disappointed in Marns comments that he wasnt aware that it's anti bullying week ( not a comment directed at you Marms - i mean in that there hasnt been much of a drive on it this year, and what is being done publicity wise on radio etc is not filtering through into the local community and onto the streets, where it is of course meant to be getting through to and where it's needed! )
On a good note - and without saying too much, because I cant without revealing my occupation & details that will identify me rolleyes

rolleyes

- I have been heavily involved in an anti-bullying campaign locally, and we've had some really positive results - but, the only reason for success is the 1:1 input my team has had in working directly with these bullies & their victims. There;'s a whole host of reasons and behaviours that lie beneath someone's bullying behaviour, and more needs to be done to tackle that - before things escalate into physical incidents, like metal tipped umbrellas. Unfortunately, the resources, and more often than not, the understanding and parental input just isnt there to do this.
If anyone is interested in the project & its results, please PM me!

My daughter absolutely loves this (kids rolleyes

rolleyes

lol

)
I read an article about how the song came about - the guy who wrote it was bullied at school, and the thing that kept him going was that his dad used to pick him up from school in this bloody great big JCB instead of a car/ walking. Hence Dad was super-cool and being in the JCB makes him feel big & on top of the world when he's riding in it and not facing bullies at school. The 'JCB' is a euphamism for a sense of 'power' and escapism that the lad needs psychologically as his coping mechanism. Also hints at the bond & love between father & son too, which is nice - this'll be the one that pulls heart strings over Xmas once folk understand what the song is actually about.
It does kinda grow on you doesnt it?! Christmas No. 1 me thinks! :karaoke:

blink

and breathe!!!!!! 1...2...3....

think i,ll stick to having fun in the flesh at clubs etc

that's assuming people want to play with you, knowing how discreet you are!
problem is, you gave enough of a description - and a commentary of what happened - for people here to know who you're talking about. Forgive me if I'm wrong here but isnt it usually more of a 'what happens in a club stays in a club' thing?
I for one would be mortified if someone I 'met' in a club then came on here the following day to tell all and saundry all about it! You may just have been curious as to wether or not she's (they're) registered users here - but, I'm kinda of the thinking that if she (they) wanted to see you again, arrangements would have been made in the club or msn's exchanged etc.
and your attitude really aint gonna help!

23 Nov 2005

Hi Alex, I'm not going to be able to make this after all I'm afraid - but thankyou for reserving a space for me to date.
>>a seriously pissed off Dark wanders from thread :cry:

23 Nov 2005

well, unless the audience was your mum, sister or boss, I'd say stop panicking, apologise and wait for the response. You never know, it *could* work in your favour ... dunno

dunno

if we;re talking seriously wrong audience then go with the 'OMG my / msn got hijacked OMG OMG... total drama....are you ok over there, it hasnt affected you has it? is your puter ok?' suggestion! that way you might be able to judge their mood dunno

dunno

otherwise, this time of year and the weather is a great excuse for a holiday!!! deepest depths of Peru might suffice! lol

Yep! It's good... but thats only because the sense of community here is brilliant...
Now, go get a notebook and pen, leave it by your bed, write down those threads that come to you when you are laying there in the dark.... and in the morning ....
