Someone's selling the tickets for 02 as we speak. Take binoculars. You'll be fine. No, I wouldn't.

The council website won't tell you. The police website might, which is why I requested my earlier thread to be 'stickied'. But there is certainly information on the Local Info tab.

I still get dividends. Are you a member of the Co-op?

An asterisk***. The little star thing to the right of your name. It usually refers the reader to a note*, not necessary in the main body of a book or article but that can be seen at the end**. * like that. ** or this. *** Also the name of a French animation character.

What's with the asterisk? Or is that the name of your dog?!

I saw a photoshopped one (obviously, at least I hope 'obviously'!) of one crossing the San Francisco Gate Bridge. Can't find it now. Sorry.

I'm coming back as It'sSpeltPHOENIX or PedantRose

He's allergic to dogs?

Oh I ain't knocking it. I'd go if I could afford a ticket! I saw the Penny Wilton / Michael Gambon version in the 80s. Can still remember that!

The Stage truly did not like it, and highly rated ad preferred the version also currently on at the Globe. Apparently they went for easy laughs! Well, I kinda thought they might have.

PM sent.

Sort of like the Telephone Preference Service you mean? Wot, and miss out on the opportunity to have fun testing theories and making them sound like idiots, on days you're feeling bored and mischievous?! I like spouting from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or - more radically, the very wonderful Pat Condell, who some people - even Atheists and Humanists - can not stand!, just to watch their little religious eyes glaze over.

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/sexual-violence-against-women-predates-porn-20110603-1fkcw.html Nahhh Here's another article.

Here's another very good article reminding us that rape was around before porn.

The wonderful Attila the Stockbroker wrote a rantpoem about this years ago in the 1980s. It was about the time a rapist was let off because the woman he was accused of raping was wearing a short skirt. The Judge cited the reason for letting him off as being 'contributory negligence' on the part of the raped woman. So one evening (Attilas said as part of the poem) he follows the judge home and attacks and robs him. Why? Contributory negligence! He was a High Court Judge, he was begging to be attacked! I do see your point, dita, I really do. But the real point is that some men are weak and can't control themselves. But not all men. Should we all dress in burkhas with the full veil because of the few? Is it our fault they're like this? No. The fact that many men are NOT like that points to two reasons; education and self control.

It's not all that bad.

Well, before I found a man to teach me how to sit appropriately on my motorcycle, this was me.

It would be good if this could be placed over a streetmap so we could see where we were, as it were... Really interesting to see that ridge of hills which I assume are the ones including Forest Hill, Nunhead Cemetery, Rye Hill, and alone to Kingswood Allotments hill by South Circular.

What a completely wonderful event. I wish all you sluts and slutters(male?!) a wonderful slutwalk. If I were able to be there (as a bikerslut, natch) I would.

Wot, MacBeth? It's okay, I said it whilst I tossed salt over my shoulder turned round three times, got dizzy fell over got up and walked under the touched wooden ladder as the black cat crossed my path. It's all nonsense, it really is, made up by people who wanted to pretend there was some kind of power, or to tell stories to explain stuff that science had not yet got round to explaining. Bit like religion, but dafter. Like homoepathy. ;) (pulls out pin, throws, runs away!)

Macbeth MacBeth MacBeth Macbeth Macbeth!

Could I just ask, what's the problem? So they erect scaffolding in your garden to fix his roof which ultimately could benefit you too. Am I missing something here?

HAAAHAAA THIS one, which my best mate bought me. Only bring it out when the posh folks arrive though.

Nahh you're right, the big one for morning coffee but the posh bone china for afternoon tea.

Thanks DJKillaQueen! The biggest mug I have.
