Good point (all of them). Leon, did you book up your ground for the 18th? I'm going to have to start jogging up those Warren St steps, I'm woefully unfit, and nets sounds like a good idea.

true words STB, and yes Izodia, I too thought that was his worst film. (loved dead man's shoes too)

And i stand by that STB. It had a lot more humour than 2DIP. Oh how we laughed in the scene where she saw an ex-boyfriend in a cafe and screamed at him that he was a kid fiddler much to everyone's embarrasment but her. Oh how we wept at party full of french-shoreditchtwats, where boyfriend finds out she's taken naked photos of men before. That's not comedy of manners, that's just a bad film.

Oh no, I wasn't saying that, it was more the desire for the fantasy world to be more concrete. I anted the same, but ultimately it makes more sense when viewed wholly as a mechanism for escape, and thus has no chance at introducing any sort of more satisfying ending, such as saving the girl or killing the captain.

I'll sneak a moment on the forum to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY

**Pans Labyrinth Spoilers** Citizen we all wanted the ghouls to save her, but ultimately it was just her imagniary world, even though they added moments of ambiguity. It's sad she didn't make it, but then they was sad sad times. Izodia, 2 nights in paris was dire...don't do it. No rom, no com. It was a 'comedy' of manners between france an america where everyone came across as frankly irritating (though the opening sequqnece at the airport was quite funny)

I'd actually deleted the final sentence "I'm not saying that authority isn't necessary, just that's it's normally dysfunctional and bonkers" from my previous post So you're still right ;-)

*darnation, will remember not to attempt that one again* *heads off to real pub...huzzah*

I only recently got "you can't have your cake and eat it" I always thought, yes you can. You have your cake, and then you eat it. Then had one of those head slapping moments ...oooooh at the same time!!!! Doh!!!

Laphroaig, good choice Moos *proffers empty glass and attempts puppy dog eyes thing*

"Perhaps those of us that found our talents considered a bit upside down by the system in our formative years are more likely to turn out to feel as though we're looking at the system from the outside when grown up?" A valid point moos, though I'll stick with Lazy Tardy Liberals ;) I will say that reading Catch 22 was a bit of a life-defining moment when I realised that systems and authority figures really were petty and absurd and I wasn't alone in thinking that. My mind has not changed much since then.

Yeah, been up at 6 and stillll sitting in an office * Sobs into zombie * * mmmmmmmm zombie *

Again similar tales, my shitforbrains economics teacher predicted me an E/N for the simple crime of not being my older brother, whom he had liked, as far as I could tell. I got an A. He didn't even have the decency to look me in the eye when he came down on results day to congratulate everyone. Yep, I'm still pretty annoyed too.

Blimey, respec' to mrs keef, where does that put her? Bakunin?

bloody hell!! Those who accused the forumites of political bias might just have a point!!

Blimey, aren't we just a revolutionary triumvirate. Bagsy Lenin!!

Vanity Fair has been doing surprisingly interesting feature articles of late The men who called for torture

Bright, lazy and frustrating pretty much summed up every single teacher's opinion. In fact my reference from Mr Cossy (spits) for my ucas/pcas applications said pretty much exactly that, meaning 8 out of the 9 institutions didn't even offer me a place. Tosser!!

I've been a fan of his for quite some time. His latest is even better http://decentpedia.blogspot.com/2008/04/cough-cough-mumble.html

I think you'll find a nice cocktail should sort that hangover out Jah ;-)

Here you go Keef, this should explain everything. http://decentpedia.blogspot.com/2008/03/tibet.html

I'm guessing an obsessive compulsive insomniac with a serious issue regards liberal councillors. We get it ok lynkse you don't like the council and our roads are terrible, now if you can stop hijacking every thread...

Hmm, I'm an anarchist version of Ghandi apparently Economic -5.62 Social -4.26

I seem to recall there had been some confusion in the early days of aluminium's discovery, and so here's the whole sorry aluminium/um saga http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/aluminium.htm

For years I read tousled as tussled not as in tow(rhyming with cow)zled. When I first heard it spoken I was very embarrassed for myself.
