And some of the young 'oldies' too! ;) lol

I'm 30 and don't consider myself old, but then I do think it's more a mind over matter thing. smile

And as for , can I have Matt Smith and David Tennant at the same time with Billy Piper and Karen Gillen too? :rascal:

Why thank you Miss Nolachops.
Almost worth logging back in for and going for a bit of a posting spree! ;)
Have you seen the film 'Annonymous' yet? It's not a book adaptation but an entertaining twist on Shakespeare and whether he actually wrote his plays or not. I can highly recommend it as worth a watch. Good point for debate and has upset some diehard fans. But diehard fans always tend to be a bit highly strung when it comes to their favourite obsessions. smile

Staggers
Favourite cigarettes - invisible ones that don't exsist (non-smoker living with a smoker)
Or, the cheapest.
Do you smokers realise how much those darn infernal things cost? And they smell bad. And they kill you quicker. And they make the house smell, especially the curtains. And I hate washing curtains, they're right pain. *sigh* Not that any of that would make a jot of difference, I know.
Apparently the new spray thing that's been brought out is pretty effective, if anyone is thinking about quitting. Just saying. smile

There is a good chapter in the autobiography of Caitlin Moran 'How to be a woman' where she has a good long rant about wanting to call hers a cunt and people's reactions to that.
I don't mind the word really. Can pack a punch when you use it in the middle of the office during a bit of a hissy-fit style rant. lol

And a few raised eyebrows.

At the end of the day, surely no film could ever really match your own imagination when reading a novel. You create your own imagery, the content may be similar, but your own perception of an event will never be the same as that portrayed in film, even if it does come close.
I find, more often than not that the book is far better than the film. Most times there is to much information lost when a book is turned into a film

:thumbup: I agree with these sentiments and was about to type something out that expressed similar.
Although I have enjoyed film versions of books, I have enjoyed them as films rather than adaptations. This is because I think you kind of have to take the film as it stands because the process is different. If they tried to make a film a 100% direct adaptation of a book it wouldn't work as a film in most occasions.
Favourite adaptation of book to film is Baz Lurhman's 'Romeo & Juliet' cleverly keeping the Shakepearean script and setting it in 1990's USA.

Ahhh, go on then, I'll log in for a bit after months of not bothering.

Hey MikeNorth! wave

Long time, no post (well for me anyway). smile

Surprised I've not been deactivated by the 'hang out everyone who hasn't posted for 90days' brigade! lol

OK Karrob, you've been here since 2007 and have only just realised that some couples are not live together, madly in love, married til death do they part?
Next you'll be telling me some of the women are actually men!?
:lol:
In reality, sometimes things between so called 'real' couples can be so much worse when they have a barney than when two strangers, for a whole host of individual reasons, have got together to have a bit of fun with others who match what they're both looking for.
Although if it really doesn't float your own boat Karrob, nothing wrong in saying so.

We like to feel comfortable in our environment and for us that includes dressing well and appropriately. This is our approach regardless of the nature of the venue.

How did you manage to put what I wanted to say and ended up waffling about in half a page, all squished into 2 sentences? :uhoh:
Clubs... different again. Felt a bit weird wearing my normal type of clubbing atire when on a club social with people who I'm happy lounging in my old scabby pjs while raising a mug of tea with. lol

Ok, I've been thinking about this and at first I was a bit... they'll take me (or not) as I am and they'll just have to like it or lump it regardless, free or payment party. :lol:
But then I know how I am and wouldn't want to upset the hosts of said party, nor show ourselves up, nor feel like a fish out of water; so I reckoned I'd ask loads of questions about what was usual derigour regarding dress codes/appropriate attire etc before booking in. But then I'd probably do that if it was a free house party too... ask questions. smile

And then I'd probably take several back up plan outfits in the boot of the car, just in case I'm so wide off the mark I feel uncomfortable. :)
I'd probably opt to not wear my most expensive stuff either way though because I've managed to loose shoes and knickers to collectors at previous parties/clubs we've been to and been furious they were expensive/nice/notwashdaygrays/posh/fancy/matching etc. :lol:
Although if it was a good excuse to get something new and shiny that I probably wouldn't normally treat myself to, I'd probably be less reluctant if it was an expensive party because we'd be very conscious of costs escalating, especially if I was only wearing it for half an hour! :lol: But I will admit the higher the price of entry the more inclined I'd be to wear designer stuff, but saying that I've worn designer stuff to nearly every house party I've been to, free or not.
Ok, I'm clear as mud, as usual!

That's right well done that fellow! BODMAS
That seems to be the main purpose of the kind of questions the op is going to be asked to solve.

'BODMAS' is the acronym for the rules for the order of mathematical priority when doing calculations.

Sometimes it can be hard to face up to the bits you don't like and make the best of them without wanting to turn back time, pretending it's not happening/happened, like the comb over recapturing the days when the hair was plentiful.
I've worn some hideous things before now to hide extra weight and it's not suited my body shape at all. That comes and goes in phases; times when I love me and would wear something more fitted/daring with a confident glow and other times when I just want to hide away in slacks.
When in the 'hide away' mode, it can be quite irrational thinking that goes on and it tends to cloud any other thoughts, which leads to poor clothing choices in favour of comfort. I think I need a good 'Gok'-ing

Are you indirectly checking whether your fingernails meet my exacting standards Tweeklelicious? :rascal:
Evil fingernails... just evil ones... aww, you've got me thinking now on how to explain my irrational quirks! Evil - hooker claws...you know like twenty metre long porno style things that will shred me to bits within two seconds of being anywhere near me. Or the other extreme of being bitten down so much they're sore looking. Anything spudtastic or spliting has got to go.
Just averagely trimmed/ filed/ painted/ short falsies/ manicured nails are great and I suppose I wouldn't notice if they weren't evil, only if they are.
lol

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a little odd at times. redface

Jilly's Rockworld...

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
It is shut because it wasn't making money.
Why?
I shall tell you... they hadn't washed anything since I first went when I was the grand old age of 15 (I'm nearly 30 now), then they cleared out all the underagers and then they didn't have anywhere to put the smokers that wasn't inside due to it being in a dingy damned awful semi basement!
It hadn't had live music in there for yeeeeeeears and quite frankly, it became a shite night out because the dj's hadn't changed in the last decade was dead for months on end with about 10 people in there at what used to be the peak time of the evening. The nights in there were ecylpsed head and shoulders by the rock night held at the MMU student's union and Monday night at the Ritz, amongst others. Live music of this ilk was gigged at the Manchester Student's Union or one of the many venues in and around the city.
Jilly's Rockworld will always hold fond memories for me, but I don't crave to go there. I didn't once I'd hit 19 and could go to other nicer places that played better music (same type though), the beer wasn't watered or so bloody expensive, there weren't tons of children off their face on drugs (or weak cider prentending to be on drugs), my feet didn't stick to the floor and I didn't have to worry what colour my clothing was because of being scared of not getting the furniture smear marks and teenage sweat off my attire.
How they charged what they charged to get in there for so bloody long is beyond me.
So, there you have it. lol
