Keef

Sandperson, I do like it, but it has good and bad points. PROS Best mobile camera I've seen, with a half decent flash (for a phone). Can take a 2GB memory card, and hold a shed load of music Has 90MB internal memory which is pretty good. Lovely big screen Touch screen works well, is accurate, and you don't always need the little pen thing (I never carry it with me) It is sexy ;-) CONS Although the touch screen is good, texting is a pain if using your thumb, you have to go very slow, and this is the main frustration for me. Battery life isn't great, I have to charge every day, and it's run out on me a couple of times. That said, I use WAP and listen to music a lot! All in all I am pleased with it, but occasionally (basically when texting) I miss my old phone... Then again, I had that for 18 months, so I guess I just got very used to it.

Andy Murray is an odd looking lad isn't he. I like the fact he's more firey than Henman ever was, more of a McEnroe. However, I don't like the way he comes across, and not just because he said that thing about England in the last world cup. I just can't really take to him. That said, I want a different final, so I would like to see him win. I hope Safin keeps up his current form and wins it, would be nice.

My dad used to go in there a bit, commonly known as PJ. He was more a CPT man though.

Although say that in there and you may need that stab vest, they're Peckham and proud!!! Seriously, it is a nice pub.

I don't believe in class and will not be labelled as such! I also never attacked anyone or tried to be pc. I pointed out that you're arguement about someone saying you were fit for a gay guy wasn't really comparable to the original incident. I stand by that, it doesn't make me homophobic James for the love of God. Read everything I said again when you are feeling less like the whole world is against you.

I never said I was an expert on racism or homophobia either, but is that to say I should have no opinion on it? > I'm glad that I am supposed to be flattered by the > emasculating, banal stereotype that gay men are > "stylish and all that." This contributes to the > idea that all gay men are flippant, materialistic > and shallow so thanks very much for that Keef. Read back and tell me where I said you should be flatered about any stereotype... I just said that as IT WAS a stereotype (which you haven't denied, and have basically just confirmed!), it was unlikely that anyone would say "he's fit, for A GAY man". > > And with regard to your suggestion that "it's not > a competition" i think it's entirely relevant to > put things into perspective. Your knee-jerk > response only convinces me even more. I never typed the word competition, that was the post before mine. But this was a thread about a particular incident. As Piers said, if you came on here saying "some git just shouted homophobic stuff at me at the bus stop" or something like that, I am sure you would have gotten a lot of sympathy. I also suspect you'd have been just a tad annoyed if someone had then come on to your thread and said, yeah whatever, the abuse black people get is much worse. I wasn't looking for a row, I was joining in a conversation, but I'll shut up until I feel suitably victimised for my opinion to be worthy.

Yeah, but one stereotype about gay men is that they are fantastically stylish and all that, so you wouldn't be likely to hear that phrase. The phrase "she's pretty, for a black girl" suggests that black girls are not generally pretty, and that is well out of order. No one would suggest that homophobia isn't rife, and possibly more so today than racism (although I'm not sure about that at all), but that is not to take away from muffintop's experience this morning.

As do I I guess :-$

Citizen, not so much my good angel, but I have 2 stag weekends in the next 3 weeks, plus I'm at O2 Wireless on Saturday, which will no doubt involve drinking, so I am really thinking I may need to give myself a fighting chance of survival... That said, if I get bored I may well pop in... :-S

Now now Sean & Citizen, you're both seeming far too keen for muffin to attend the drinks now you know she's pretty? ;-) Sorry you had to hear that sort of shite, and I hate to say it, but if you responded aggressively, these morons would quite possibly just put that down as being typical behaviour "for a black girl". Blokes like that are just f**ing knob jockeys, they think because they're going in to the city in a suit, they are somehow special and can talk to anyone, particularly females, how they want. Quite often they talk to blokes like they are a turd on their leather shoes too though. Maybe next time, just smile sweetly and ask "do you really think so?? I'd love to hear their response. Or, just say "shame you're fugly", simply because I love the word fugly and think it should be used by everyone! >:D<

Leonard Cohen is also playing the Big Chill.

I'm not sure I'll make this one, feel like I need to have a quieter weekend both financially and physically!

I really don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me!

For the record, the CPT have removed their big projected screen and replaced it with a plasma. Clearer picture, but obviously nowhere near as big!

You're right buggie, here is ross in action.

If I remember rightly, Ross Kemp played Pat's dad.

How else are you meant to cope with public transport?

Yeah but you're not chav ;-)

The Kia-Ora one was great!
