  1. cheers jobless - sounds like a bad vibe all round - glad you've had time to cool down as well. Only rarely have I ended up in a place where I felt uncomfortably unwanted but it's not nice. I wonder iff it was a one-off and they were having a bad night.. I'm tempted to mosey down there and have a look
  2. I know which I think is more accurate ;-)
  3. Fair play for owning up too!
  4. Theme to *Bob*'s previous relationship
  5. But it is still a bit erratic isn't it? I tried to do a search for "look" yesterday - not one match. That can't be right can it? (none of this excuses the MULTIPLE Duke threads on the same page. You don't need to search for Duke to be aware there are several threads already open. Plus, given Smokie's prediliction for posting on all of them, he will have caught up with Keef and me by the end of the month!)
  6. I can hear several correspondants' blood-vessels popping as they read that. Given that their job entails contracts and close examiniation of same, "seeing what people mean" doesn't seem enough I would argue.
  7. Not much to argue with in what you have written Huguenot, it's what you haven't written... "Give me well-informed convergent concessionary politics any day." - for sure.. but historically we can see that some of the most progressive changes have happened not through this means but through direct action by a "minority" against a "common enemy". Wether it was segregation in the US or Voting rights here and elsewhere, power has had to be fought for and is seldom granted. James when starting this thread was fighting his own corner and lost some support by seeming "one-issue" about the whole thing but essentially, within his narrow terms, he was correct to challenge the laissez-fair attitudes against gay people. Ditto all of the other groups mentioned in the subsequent arguments.. He stands accused of trying to "prove his tribe is the most hard done by" and this is clearly what irks you the most but I don't think it stands In the wider argument of "hate crimes" poverty plays a large part for sure but anyone who has witnessed a drunk city-boy tearing into a homeless person near Charing Cross (as I have done several times) knows it's not just about that either. Ignorance is a trickier one because, compared to anytime in history, the vast majority of people have access to pretty much all the information they need.
  8. Oh but look - you and did and you did. Chill snorks- not everyone is out to get you you know.. oh and THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. fish....;-)
  9. I read your original post here And was pretty appalled at the treatment you described. But now you have repeated it verbatim in the main thread... a whole day later. With nothing else to add, say or to give context. I'm not saying what you describe didn't happen, and it still sounds horrible... but it now begins to sound more like a personal thing. I would love to hear more.. how you feel a day later now that the event has passed? Have you been there before? Was it different then? If it was your first time what made you choose to go this time? Did you recognise anyone at all?
  10. as the Famous Forumites has just been resurrected I couldn't help but notice this line from Annaj, which made me smile Partly because I can imagine her face when she wrote it
  11. I was sure there was something similar on here before and I just found it - of course loads more people on the forum now but you might get an idea about some of the old-timers from this forum lookalikes
  12. Hmmm - some extra noise BUT balmy weather... or less noise and cloudy grey meh. Can I choose?
  13. I feel the need to point out to those not aware that PGC is not, in fact, 16....
  14. At the weekend I witnessed over 2 days the negative side of having kids. For the sake of privacy I can't go into any detail but it sure didn't encourage me Also at the weekend I was interested to read this To have or not to have To be fair, on Friday night I also saw the positive side of children when I witnessed TillieTrotter's amazing daughter sing at the Plough, just before starting Uni...
  15. No chance of this thread dying and the conversation continuing on the original thread then? Pretty Please?
  16. I was wondering the very same thing re: Singapore presence - good stuff H
  17. Pagey TO give you more background into ????'s mention of how this has cropped up before you can see how the conversations went by following these links Here's one - 20 plus pages! here's another I'm pretty sure there are others but that first one covers just about everything (and less) on the topic
  18. Ahem. . Not to be fussy but i take "hail"s only. Unless it was a deliberate mis spell. .
  19. Have you seen these mini-prequels yet? Not available on any of the DVDs, I think they are being held back for complete 1-5 boxset I haven't had time to watch them properly yet but I don't think they contain any spoilers
  20. Wow. Impressive diary skills. Judging by that list we have yet to visit surma
  21. Lady Mac gets very upset if I play SMS I PCG....
  22. Blimey indeed Jah! I did not see that coming...
  23. Trust me - many many parts of Exeter are riddled with the stuff as well. And swan poo down by the quays But best of luck in Exeter anyway - I had 6 marvellous years there
  24. I fear you may be wrong Mr Carnell and that Brendan has a fan club who would love to.. nice gag as well Mr Lush
