Moos

Take more'n a chair and a whip to tame ME.

Try the Daily Mail. Apparently it's full of it.

Hmm, this thread started off affectionate and funny, and it's gone a bit awry.

I've got no history with MW74 - but NatashaD is right, I was sharp with you, sorry about that. I still think you should read the thread though, it's all on here. Edited to say - we cross-posted. Heavens, are we enemies already?

:)) funny man

Er, read the thread.

Arrgh! *tries to run away, but trips over mega shoes and falls splat on face* *sits up and rubs nose* It ain't the first time I've fallen on my face in the Forum.

James, I hope you're wrong about what people would say if the roles were reversed, and I hope you'd get the same treatment Muffintop has received. I do see your point about 'slightly subtle' homophobic comments in the media. But when I say you've got the wrong end of the stick, what I meant was that I think most people who have responded to your comment have been responding to the context and not the content. It's not necessarily about turning the debate into racism vs homophobia (and no-one has said either is anything other than deplorable) but about perhaps unintentionally redirecting a thread about a recent event to make it about something to do with you. Your original post read as 'Get over yourself, it's worse for me' (although I'm sure it wasn't intended to be unkind, and mine is a crude rendition). So regardless of whether it's true - and I don't know - it came across as insensitive. So I don't think anyone was having a go at you because you're gay or because they under-rate homophobia, but because of the context of your comment. Anyway. That's my two penn'orth. Peace to all.

*evil grin* Muffintop, come over here and smell this pretty flower I've got on my unfeasibly large lapel!

James, you normally seem like such a nice guy and such a smart poster. Can I suggest you take a deep breath and read the thread from the beginning? I honestly think you've got the wrong end of the stick, and need to step back.

Surely MP must be the ringmaster! Let him out of the box and hand him a tailcoat, someone.

*honk honk* Moos driving car painted like a huge tomato chases Keef driving car decorated like a daisy around the ring. Moos is shaking fist and threatening to hurl bucket of glitter all over Keef's ridiculously enormous trousers.

Ra-da-dadadada dada daada Ra-da-dadadada dada daada Ra-dada daaada Ra-dada daada Ra-dadadadadadadadaDA DA (repeat) Spotlights swing and drums roll as Moos enters in clown costume including (natural) enormous feet, and performs series of handsprings around the ring. Roll Up! Roll Up! to the EDF Lounge's very own Circus Room! Here you can tame lions, swing from trapezes, fire yourself from cannons, throw buckets of glitter, squirt water, drive silly cars, dare devils and make the crowd sigh. This room is for people in the mood for foolish fun - enjoy!

Where will you go, TJS? At the risk of sounding sarcastic - which is not my intention - I think you'll find it harder to escape crime than you might wish.

The delicate minutiae of My Place vs Your Place around here are getting quite mind-boggling. I'm thinking of dividing our house into 2, My Part (where all the good bits are, like the telly and my bed) and Your Part (including the sink, the cat lavatory). Then I will sneer at Your Part, and only go there with fear and trepidation.

That photo's hilarious. Some old fart has clearly got fed up with his nursing home treatment, and has slung his rubber chair cushion at the nurse. Luckily someone had their camera ready.

:)-D I do like Ms B.

Muffintop, what a horrible start to your day. I think Annaj hit the nail on the head with her post. And the idea that somehow black women are intrinsically less attractive than non-black women ("for a black girl")!!!!! Tell that to Naomi Campbell or Alek Wek. Seriously, well done (even if involuntary) for your remaining silent - morons like that will not improve their narrow minds if reproached anyway, and you'd only have ended up feeling worse, and possibly in an unpleasant confrontation. I do think the comment has to resonate more for its racial content than it would if it were 'pretty for a fat girl' or 'pretty for a ginger' (though all such comments are hateful), and you have every right to be upset. Glad to hear from subsequent posts that you're feeling better, and I hope enjoying the sunshine today. Do bring your beautiful white half and your lovely black half to the drinks on Friday too!

Indeed, Louisa. Outside the fevered world of the EDF, East Dulwich is really just another tubeless SE London suburb. Chelsea it ain't.

Congrats, Mockers!

Was it a ceiling rose, Woodie?

Chav, by that argument we should just have a 'Tribe Pride' march, with everyone of every class marching proudly together, wearing their tribal colours of Burberry jackets (vintage post-1998) or Burberry jackets (vintage pre-1998) or whatever. But to be honest, it doesn't sound as much fun..

2nd thoughts re: the 2nd coming? Personally, I'm inclined to think of it as a tribute. This thread is marvellous, but I feel we need more UFO nuts, I mean enthusiasts to balance the battle. Edited to feel like one of the gang...

Oh, and the other really annoying ads are the ones where inanimate things are humanised, presumably in order to convey their message more clearly to us dumb bunnies. Firemen in your stomach-settler, TicTacs that run down the street, talking germs in the lavatory... it's just weird and a bit creepy. Except for the car/robot one, as Honaloochie B says, which is cooooooooooooool. Buggie - moonpig?? You DO need to elaborate!

Blimey, they're giant-slaying at Wimbledon today. First Sharapova, and now Roddick!
