*Bob*

I'd like to think if I ever found myself with so little good to say about the area I lived.. SE22, London, wherever - I'd have the cojones to stop carping on about it and find somewhere else to live that suited me better. The world is quite a large place, with experiences to suit all, if you can be arsed.

Strange how some people find London life unfriendly, unsociable and boring - and yet others find exactly the opposite. Must just be down to luck.

A black cab home is a fine way to end a night out if there's four of five of you. Bundled in the back of a Mondeo listening to Christian radio with the 'short straw' making small talk in the front passenger seat isn't always what you want.

But Jeremy, how will you do your yoga - bathed from head to toe in warm sunlight - without a floor to ceiling opening? Looking at a radiator is not good for your chakras.

I'm sure you must have some idea what 'the greater good' might entail, at least as a concept? As to the second part.. most don't, so it doesn't matter.

On the general election, I'm not that surprised. Surprised by the scale fo' sho' - of the SNP triumph and LibDem trouncing - but not the result generally. There's a vocal liberal anti-Tory educated (relatively affluent, naturally) posse whooping it up on social media at the moment, but let's be honest: most people vote for for selfish reasons, not for some greater good - despite all the talk. Labour just didn't target their potential selfish voters as well as the Cons did.

The two are surely very different. Ok let's not dress it up (or down) - I'll settle on 'killing' which is what it is whichever way it happens. I find the death penalty more disturbing than murder. For anyone who hasn't seen it, 'A Short Film About Killing' sums it up better than I ever could.

Ah yes, the 'PC' anti-state-sanctioned-murder brigade. Bloody do-gooders. We should cut rapist's cocks off as well. And not pay road tax.

There's definitely a sizeable portion of the population oo fink there should be deff for peedos etc so I'm sure the 'for' count is high. Fortunately, successive governments - of all persuasions - have seen fit legislate against base inhumanity.

Damn these places with their bastard bowls of complimentary nuts. I prefer a chinese burn and a kick in the goolies before my meal, every time. DAMN THEM TO HELL

Went to a wedding of a good friend a while back. The invite was carefully couched in 'we'd be delighted to have them but prefer it if we didn't' terms. As such, there were only half a dozen kids there. Still, the little bleeders screamed all through the ceremony / speeches nonetheless.

Oh go on then, I can't resist! fazer71 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Further there have been changes to Jet engines > which makes the current design prone to a high > pitched whistle in certain atmospheric conditions > which will drive the noise downward as the slow > and it?s at a level which can become noticeable to > some people more than others.

Quite often it's two different whistling tones, which accentuates the effect. It's by far the most disturbing and irritating noise up there in the skies, if this sort of thing bothers you. These are Airbus A320's (and previous incarnations which share the same design) - one of the most numerous aircraft currently in service - hence hearing it a lot. That said, it's been in service - making the same sound - for about 25 years. Casual readers and newcomers to this topic should consider small details such as this before they decide to accept 'as fact' the obsessive ramblings of a man who spent 25 years oblivious to a sound that was there all along - then woke up last Tuesday, suddenly noticed it - and decided it was ruining his life. On with the show!

What is 'dressing up' when going to the cinema? Do you mean like top hat and tails? Or are we just talking basic things like trousers? Intrigued..

Lou - when you do a massive rotten fart, sometimes it takes a while for the aroma to dissipate. Try to think in terms of you having done one long, continuous, stinking guff - continually - for several years. You can't wave your hand a bit and away it goes. Can't be done. Its going to take some window opening and duvet wafting; possibly even a scented candle.

Don't be sad. More hot cock action on your fave soap tomorrow. Enjoy..

I don't hang with the grammar police usually, but a comma instead of an apostrophe represents a whole new depth of dumb. What do you eat soup with? A coat hanger?

I think I can help here Tarot. I've attached a picture of something called a 'remote control'. This is used to 'remotely control' your 'television' without the minimum of effort. If you look carefully there are numbered buttons - pressing these allows you to change the 'channels' to see something different. There's also a row of coloured buttons. Simply press blue for 'less gay', yellow for 'less foreigners' etc etc If all else fails, there's the 'off' button.

What sort of a witless existence must a person lead to give enough of an actual toss about soap opera plotlines and manufactured talent shows - to commit fingers to keyboard with any degree of seriousness?

His Aunt (I think it was) was on the radio yesterday. What was Mark doing that day? "He was going home for his tea". What sort of country are we living in where a man can't simply go home for his tea - with his gun - without meeting his death at the hands of the Met armed response unit? If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone going home for their tea with their gun.

To be honest I don't see what couldn't have been achieved by rusted corrugated iron, razor wire and a giant spray painted cock and balls / overpainted the next morning / giant spurting cock and balls / overpainted a week later / giant spurting cock and balls with 'wobbling testicles' / ah what's the point

This thread is soiled. It must be cleansed. Let the healing begin..

What child wouldn't cherish a set of silver (plated) ornamental teaspoons? I know I did.

It's not called the music 'business' for nothing. It's fine when you're sitting around in your scummy rehearsal room smoking a doobie and being all about the music and dreaming of what might be, but when you find yourself with a big hit and money washing around it's a different story. Anyway, Ashcroft made his wedge on Drugs - a far shitter song - which I don't think would have happened without Symphony - so he did ok.
