I'll snog anyone, me. even when not playing - like... just ordinary clubs and whatnot - it's no fun unless there is some snogging involved somewhere along the lines :>
it's all quite innocent! really...
Judge Dredd Casefiles #13 and 14.
No - wait - that's what I want.
Aside from perfume, girlies like, er, shoes, i think.
And chocolate.
HTH :}
::tries really hard not to make jokes about ghosts being too scared of scousers to make thier presence felt::
I am crap at video games but I enjoy them a bit... it's just taken me two weeks of solid playing to beat Arkham Asylum on easy, and that's just the story bits - I haven't bothered looking for all the pick ups... I suck.
I do sometimes roleplay and wargame with miniatures and dice... should I admit to that on a forum where I might one day try to get laid?
Return of the Living Dead.
I'm not, but other people might find it offensive and I think you should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.
I have one anecdote that may fit this. A community centre I was working in, in an area with a large Asian population and a clientelle consisting of about 90% young Asian women and thier children had not put up thier christmas tree or decorations by the middle of December because the new manager wanted to wait till Eid was over before starting the Christmas celebrations, so as to not offend anyone by making it seem like we valued christmas more than Eid, Diwali, Hannukah, Talk Like A Pirate Day or anything else. (previously we'd always just celebrated everything all together as an excuse to have lots of parties).
There were several comments from the women (Sikh, Hindu and Muslim alike) of, 'Why isn't the christmas tree up yet? we put ours up ages ago at home.'
I have not met a single muslim yet who has objected to christmas being celebrated, or to thier children being involed in a nativity play. This is just my experience, and I can't speak for people of any other religion... well, any religion at all, actually... but there it is.
I'd never have to leave the house again if I could do that...
Reminds me of the guy who, upon seeing a dog lick it's own balls, said to his wife, 'I wish i could do that', she replied, 'Well, if you ask him nicely...'
I am currently in love with The Moldy Peaches, so...
If I'm being sentimental, then:
Just because I don't say anything
Doesn't mean I don't like you.
I open my mouth and I try and i try
But no words come out.
Without 40 ounces of social skills
I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity.
I'm just a huge manitee.
A huge manitee.
And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands, and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you
And stay up late and watch cartoons.
Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.
I wanna watch cartons with you.
Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
I want you to watch cartoons with me.
He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fooey
I tried to ask you to your face,
But no words came out.
I put on my hood and walked away.
That doosn't mean I don't like you.
And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands, and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you
And stay up late and maybe spoon.
Just becase I dont say anything
Doesn't mean I dont like you, no.
I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.
And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skiny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you

But if I am giggly, then from the very same album: (the two singers sing the different words at the same time - it works really well)
Mardi Gras came and went,
all my money has been spent.
How 'm I gonna pay the rent
sitting on -my ass/your face?
Who mistook the steak for chicken?
Who'm I gonna stick my dick in?
We're not those kids,
sitting on the couch.
my former life i -had a sister/was a high roller,
I abused her and I dissed her/ walked my kids in a diamond stroller,
she got swept up in a twister/ found my calling as a part time bowler
first I laughed and then i missed her/ traded my wife in for a new green roller.
Who mistook these baths for showers?
Who fucked up that leaning tower?
We're not those kids,
sitting on the couch.
Oh, get on a greyhound and ride away,
different dreams from yesterday/ live on birthday cake each day
tell your -grandma you're ok/ grandparents that they're gay,
kiss her cheek/steal their money- and run away.
Me and my friends are so smart:
we invented this new kind of -darts/art
hit a bull's eye cut up heart/ post modernist throwing darts
smoking crack and -cutting back/crack.
Who mistook this crap for genius?/ who is dancing on the ceiling?
Who is gonna stroke my penis?/who is gonna hurt my feelings
We're not those kids,
sitting on the couch,
sitting on the couch.
Oh -even your mother is a crook/people are shiny like a brand new book
but if -I get/you take- a closer look
there's shit on every -road you took/hand you shook
You don't believe me?
Read the book/ Look at your hand.
Who made all these things for killing?
Whose -empty heart/pussy hole- needs filling?
We're not those kids,
sitting on the couch.
Who mistook the steak for chicken?
Who'm I gonna stick my dick in?
We're not those kids,
sitting on the couch
My faith in our young people is restored.
It is not quite that easy to migrate here. It may seem like it is to people who have never had to try and gain entry to this country, and it is certainly easier to move here than it is to places like America, but migrants (not asylum seekers - that's a seperate issue) generally have no recourse to public funds, they have to pay tax, and have to meet criteria in order to get a visa. I know that some papers would have you believe that people flood in here from all over the world and get given free houses and dole money, but it isn't actually quite that simple - many migrants are forced to go to Liverpool to get thier visa's - surely that's a barrier in itself ;)
That's too hard. I can just about keep up with about 3 Kimya Dawson songs.
I can play 'Boredom' by The Buzzcocks, too. Even that tricky 2 note solo.
Boys Don't Cry
Big Girls Don't Cry
I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying
My favourite two...
Your Ma Said You Cried In Your Sleep Last Night
and...
Think I'll Go Somewhere and Cry Myself To Sleep
If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry
And, just so I have my usual Gary Numan fixation thing
Cry, The clock Said
She Cries
I think its about time she has sex with monica lewinski.
I feel a bit less guilty now about having a policy of lying to cold callers at all times.
The way it works is as follows - if you call me on _any_ sales or business related pretense, you'd better be prepared for the fact that I am going to give you false and useless information.
Ask me for two digits from my pin number and I will say, 'four million, and ninety five and a half.'
Ask me for my mothers maiden name and I will say, 'Hitler.' It just spills out and is automatic.
Way I see it is, anyone calling me wanting to know this kind of information has no business knowing this kind of information. My bank NEVER call me, and I have banked online exclusively for years. They may ask me for 2 digits from my secrit number if I CALL THEM, but that's it. Scammers can have a ton of stupid information from me because even if it does no good, it still makes me feel a bit superior, because I can be a dick like that sometimes.
Oooooh, this is a difficult one. I have been to about a zillion gigs and have enjoyed the vast majority of them becasue I always make sure I have fun if I go out...
Should I say Gary Numan, as he's my hero and I have seen him about a million times and it is still never enough? This last tour was great, and the gig on his birthday was amazing.
Should I say Marc Almond, as he's my other hero, and I have seen him about a hundred times and twice out of those he has blown me away..?
Or, Napalm Death, because they went, 'WHOAAARRGGGGAAHHHHH' for 30 minutes and people's heads exploded?
Or Motorhead, because Lemmy rules?
Or Motley Crue, because they had nudey dwarves and flamethrowers?
Or Gogol Bordello, because I could not stop moshing for the entire gig and I got beaten up by a ton of people (in the moshpit - I came out bleeding, I think... accidental injuries I am sure, but hey...) and it was amazing - as good as The Pogues for exactly the same reasons, if fact...
But really, my favourite ever gig I attended was The Cramps, on the Stay Sick tour. Because they just ruled, and seeing them that once was enough.

Today...
are they writing, 'GothicPunk has a 9 foot willy!?'
I can't comment if this is not the case. If they are, I am sorry - I will try really hard not to influence the next generation of vandals quite so much...
(ps - I may have enouraged them to overestimate by a millimetre or so either way...)
(pps - whatever - I have had a hard weekend - you can say what you like, but it doesn't change anything... I will still claim every millimetre is really a yard...)
ppps - I have no idea what I am trying to talk about. i put it down to lack of nicotine. which I only gave up last week from a 30 year habit stretching at least 40 fags a day for at least 20 years... + i have maybe imbibed a slight amount of vodka-ish-type stuff, ... um... today - ish...)
ps - ignore me - i am unusually angry due to not being a smoker anymore....
I wish I had been following this, as I hate facebook especially because TWO people I may have accidentally have had a slight amount of sex with in the past HAVE FOUND ME ON THERE.
What the hell is up with that?!!?!?!
The difficulty is, though, convincing people of that.
Not everyone has the time or knowlege of cookery to be able to do it.
There are a lot of people who just buy whatever packets of food are cheapest - the smart price beans, the buy one get one free frozen pizzas, and so on - not because they don't care, but because it's easy and the kids like it.
When the veg is all organic and it's a quid for 4 tomatoes in the supermarket, and all the lettuce is pre washed and in bags, and you just want to get the tea done quick because you've been at work all day and you have a limited budget, it's really easy to fall into the trap of fish fingers, chips and beans - and when the kids get used to that and start to refuse fruit and veg - especially fruit and veg that doesn't come in a thomas the tank engine box, or with a free toy from macdonalds, then it's hard, and a happy meal and pint of lard is easier, and it's also
That's why I say that healthy food should be cheaper - yes, it is at the market, but not eveyone can get to the market or know what to buy there or how to prepare it when they have got it - that's where education needs to come in, but it's a bit of a losing battle.
Yes, there are a ton of cookery programmes - as an ex chef who now works with families I tend to watch them - it's rare that even I bother to try and cook stuff from them, though. Way too fussy, on the whole, and expensive - Maket Kitchen today, for one recipie for making fresh Chinese takeaway style food, listed ingredients that would have cost about &20 to get in - most of which I would have to throw away after a few weeks of having them sat in the cupboard doing nothing... all this, 'Use fresh beef stock' nonsense - the only time I have ever made fresh beef stock was when I was working in restaurants and we had plenty of bones to boil up and all the required herbs - at home I just use a cube! - point is, cookery shows are unhelpful as they _aways_ demand you use about 20 ingredients that you'd need to buy in especially - fennel and fresh basil and root ginger and rice wine vinegar... cheaper and more practical to just get a takeaway, for the majority of people.
Point is, it all need to be practical and do-able, and you have to recognise the fact that people actually do have limited time and resources - I am a trained chef and can not be bothered messing about to make the majority of the stuff I see on cookey shows.
Keep it simple, promote fresh, home made cooking with decent ingredients and teach people how to make it, and you can make a start.
