Kurtz?

Naaa, riot grrrl I reckon.

In this country, probably, though some people really are hard to say no to, so it's a fault of education and it really is the fault of selfish arseholes who refuse to listen to reason. In the wider world there is a huge culture of buying antibiotics in small quantities for every other sniffle. I work with an Iranian lad who doesn't complete courses but takes them until he feels better and keeps them for later. I gave him a very stern and snotty lecture sounding like someone's dad, but it's absolutely the norm in vast swathes of the planet and that's where all the multi-drug-resistant strains are originating and then going global. So really rosie and I are pissing in the wind with this one.

"Are eggs still bad for us ?" They are when sellotaped to a machine gun.

I've often heard doctors complain that it's easier just to give them the damn pills than persuade them of the pointlessness (and wider tragedy of the commons dangers) of the treatment. Some people in not take no for an answer shock, or as sturgeon's law states "90% of everything is crap" or as piers' law states (who he?) "people are cunts".

One of the hisghest concentrations of the word posh in london!! http://www.yelp.co.uk/wordmap/london/posh

out of curiosity, why do this? The mother in law requested the same with similar results, but there's so many ways to store, host and view images these days I can't see why you'd want to get it back on a camera when getting people to get them off the damn camera is usually the hard part ;)

I haven't been to the theatre for far too long thanks to kids, so looking forward to Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom at the Croydon Fairfield. *sighs* actually I am quite looking forward to it.

the economics of ego massaging at a guess.

Ha renata, force of habit, that's in fact where i was looking. Thanks mellors, will check it out.

I only really caught 'gl' this year in snippets on radio 6 when cooking. Portishead sounded good. Erm, that's about it. I caught in passing on the tele, a flash of Bjork having stepped through the magical fountain of rejuvenation, as she played a mishmash of colplay and mumford and sons classics with a reformed Sugarcubes, minus the character, under the name 'of monsters and men' Quite freaked me out I must say.

Does anyone have any updates about when this will be fixed? Not that it's stopping anyone from going in, but the stagnant fetid water is pretty 'orrible and probably a health hazard for the kids playing in it yesterday. Southwark council site was devoid of any info as far as I could see.

Just for the record I didn't. I got the Wessex reference but had only read the one blighted tragic novel. Can't stand the writings of the whole damned Victorian lot of them, with an exception for some dickens. Dreary bunch, always full of women staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to Moseley ;)

Were you in a Thomas Hardy novel?

I'm pretty sure UncleBen must have something on those lines. If we're talking cats, then woodrot is your best bet.

I'm with you on both counts quids. I loved the reaction in the comments section and the continued inability of the detractors to spot any irony whatsoever, which coming from a subculture with an apparently ironic concep(tualisa)tion is, well, ironic I guess.

I thought a few of you might enjoy this http://potlatch.typepad.com/weblog/2011/03/an-open-letter-to-the-hipsters.html

I get it now, UDT was predicting a year into the future. Wow, he was really good, I take it all back!!

Jude Fawley?

Woody, it's the residents; I recall a conversation with an expat complaining that he had to leave Bradford because the 'bloody p***s' wore their own clothes and spoke their own language and didn't want to be british' The irony was completely lost on him. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/29/europe-news

Ooh a good Stilton is my favourite, Cheshire is like no other, and if you want their luggage searched, Stinking Bishop!!!

Jam may be universal but really good bitter marmalade is hard to find in the rest of the world, damned sweet toothed johnny foreigner!!

Spot on foxy! He lived under the name of Sanders, and obviously loved hunny, and would say pooh to get rid of flies on hhis nose when his arms were stiff. All yours.

His name derives onomatopoeically, perhaps, from his method of solving insect issues.

I've done a subtle change (beneath -> under) jsut to make it a little easier.
