You can have my opera hat, MM - but take care of it.

Ah, thanks for the tip, mightyroar - I quite liked the Lovely Bones (and limped through her autobiography) so will steer clear of Almost Moon. "Raging drivel" - brilliant. The Alchemist by Paolo Coelo - philosophy written by Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Po.

...and apparently you get your soul saved for no extra! Bargain.

Thirded! Very wrong. Also nominating pretty much everything by Martin Amis.

Not even in the 'older style packaging', D_C? I thought that would be right up your young fogey street. What I Want - some chuffing rest - ridiculously extravagant diamond earrings that are so lovely and sparkly that I haven't the heart to insist on their being taken back - a promotion and a payrise What I'll Get - lots of stress - A house plant - to stay in my job - if I'm very lucky....

Do ALL the threads in the Lounge need to be about pulling these days?

Or too late. Or something. Someone's going to quote the 4 Yorkshiremen in a minute, the competitive equivalent of Godwin.

I'm gonna get medieval on yo' ass!

To clarify, I had been up for well over 2 hours when I wrote that, and it was still feeling horribly early. I think I'm going to go to bed in a minute. Saw the aforementioned kid this evening for the first time since Sunday. Not good. :'(

The values put forward in the New Testament (well, the Gospels) are a pretty good basis for ethical behaviour, in my opinion. Most of the Old Testament is pretty frightening reading, hard to live by and you'd wonder why you'd want to. As for the preaching on buses... I'm a bit torn. I can see why if you genuinely believe that a person can only have their soul saved by becoming a Christian (or whatever your religious flavour is) then you have a very strong moral imperative to preach. Christians are basically supposed to be evangelical for that reason, although it makes me a bit uncomfortable. For me, it's about manners and intelligence. If someone stood up on a bus and was charming and articulate, then it would make my ride more interesting. I can see that it would annoy other people, though. There's absolutely no excuse for haranguing, lecturing, patronising, threatening, or tediously droning on for Jesus. And anyone who disagrees with me will get a jolly good smack and a finger-wagging, so there.

Oh no, gutted I missed it now! Did you record it? (what am I saying... of course you recorded it!!)

you swine you

Are you having High Tea?

I mean, it really is, isn't it?

Anyone remember Smith's Square Crisps?

Weeeell. Roughly.

I think I'd make a lovely Buttons. You, on the other hand, were born to play Snow White! Annaj with her knowingness could be the Magic Mirror On The Wall. Now, to find 7 appropriate actors for the dwarfs...

(wickedly) a Bellenden Bloke, Belle? Are you sure, now?

I am indeed both magic and real. (but seriously, one can't hang around for ever... a girl's got her pride)
