Dublin, Liverpool, what's the bloody difference?!? ;-)

Year started in Australia at a rock festival over new year, which was awesome, but coming home in January made it all a bit depressing to start off. However, there have been some great times, including the Reading Festival in August. However, My wedding day obviously wins by a million miles, and will be one of the best days of my life I am sure! (thanks Piers for the snaps). Also making some great new friends, a lot of whom were from here, and some of whom even attended the wedding. Oh, and playing guitar! >:D<

Give them a chance to settle, they might surprise everyone.

?950 is pushing it??? Bloody hell, we are talking before bills aren't we? Only 3 years ago we used to rent a 3 bed flat on Barry Road with a massive garden for ?1000 a month (not including bills)! If you do think Sydenham, we rent have a big 2 double bedroom flat for less than ?800 a month (also not including bills).

Jah you keep your balls away from Anna, she's a nice girl, and you'll need to buy her a bottle of JD first! :)-D

Meanwhile.... Ana runs across Goose Green chased by the hounds of hell... (or Clarence anyway). When suddenly, cats... cats everywhere, skinny cats, fat cats, ginger cats, tabby cats, they chase of the hound, and proceed to rub themselves against Ana's ankles... "Have you not got homes to go to" Ana screams.

I really don't think it is very cliquey (although I can see why you do think that). I just think there are a lot of people who use this a lot, and so are used to each other, but I don't think newcomers are pushed away or left out by a clique. Once or twice people may not have gotten particularly warm wecomes if they have come on here all guns blazing, but for the most part I'd say people are wecomed with open arms.

But Anna, do you add a "like" to the end of "No offence" in true scouse style? ;-) ... No offence like. I've started using "fella" quite a bit. "Alright fella how are ya?". I don't mind it really, but not sure it's really me.

at work not working (most likely answer), or at home with nothing on telly.

Is it just wines, or beer and spirits too?

Seriously, you've never head "you scum bag you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot, happy christmas your arse I pray God it's our last"??? I can promise you your missus knows those words, she was shieking them at me when we went to see The Pogues about 3 years ago! :-S The line I don't know is the bit Shane sings straight after "you're an old slut on junk". I think it involves a drip and a bed :-S

The serve is important, as for me it's an implication. I don't however agree with dismissing it all out of hand... ...Did that make any sense, because I seem to have confused myself, and my brain has just dripped out of my ear on to my desk.

I went through a recent phase of saying "Bigidibigidibigidibigidibigidi Bo!" quite a bit, but thankfully I seem to have grown out of it.

What he said. With regards to that article Sean, when he puts it like that........ I just don't know what to think anymore!!!! :-S

"Grolsch top please" is a phrase I say far too much for the good of my health! "In fairness" or "to be fair".

God I wish I'd just put the story in the News Today thread. I only put it here because someone used the phrase, didn't think it would stir such a debate. For my part, I have to admit Sean that it bugs me when you just dismiss anyone who says "political correctness gone mad", it comes over a bit superior, and I'm sure (whether I agree with it or not), I could take a few examples apart and make a good arguement out of them. Now I know that this phrase is often used by hard right tw@ts, but that is not to say that it doesn't exist, and to deny the existance of something is just to stick your head in the sand. You said at the beginning of this thread that the clip you posted pretty much summed up your views, and this worries me because it was just so labelling of people that do use this phrase as right wing biggots. Now in this particular case, they cencored the words "you're an old slut on junk" because "slut" is viewed as offensive swear word, and, I guess, because they suggesting drug use. However, the "faggot" bit was cencored specifically to avoid offending gay people, and that I would say is political correctness, and yes, I think in this case it's OTT (or gone mad perhaps). Whilst cencorship and PC are not one and the same, cencorship is often a tool of PC. I hate disagreeing with people.

LOL! Er, not at your pain, but the reiki comment... Give them a bit of pain and suddenly everyone's a believer! ;-)

In west Dulwich stands Cair Paravel, the castle of ice in which Dulwichmum dwells. "I'll get you young Ana, for my real name is Jadis, I'll get you before Santa does" she screams yells and rages!

Sounds good, and just after pay day for me... Although after crimbo I think I'll be skint til March!

Actually it's Soccer ;-) There's nothing wrong with footy and I hear it said by plenty of people in the pub, none of whom will ever be accused of being middle class!

So we do live in Camberwell after all... Maurice and Alan Dale will be so pleased! ;-)

LOL I like that, although I suspect they won't be deterred! ;-)
