People who pronounce it mischeevyus - there's no second i people

Devil-Jim I thought - that lift went down, and there was definite screaming (or maybe not quite devil, more demon - has anyone read CS Lewis's The Screwtape Letters? A recruiting demon as it were.) Is it pathetic that I'm slightly in mourning? Oh Gene...

Gin and tonic sorbet - one of 5 courses I made for lunch for two dear friends who have just returned from 6 months overseas - and just left my gaff now. 12 hour lunches - exceptional.

You great soft southern ponce Quids!

Ooh, the Casino - they burned it down before my time, turned it into a roller rink, but someone burned that down too as I recall. Still, my boyfriends' big brothers all went there and made me some good mix tapes. And you know, Bellenden's great.

Nice!

No idea, but they were just looking round Wigan (that's Wigan Kirstie, not Wiggin) and they made it look so purty, I almost wanted to move back there.

dunno, is there? don't think I was invited if so, you fucking cliquer, you....

Damn straight - that means you've come the fuck in, right? Not that I mean that I'm in a clique you understand - just that I think people should join in if they want to and quit bitching if they don't (that said, I do recommend being pushy - took me about a year and a half, but I did finally manage to get those CPT boys to buy me a drink)

My view on cliques? Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off.* *with thanks to Malcolm

ha ha ha

Mick Mac, if I see the words "tin hat week" appear in any your posts, I'm going to come round there and bludgeon you and get my doctor to say I was suffering from PMS.

Huguenot, and you felt you had to make a point of being illiberal on another thread?! I don't think it had to be crucifixion - and therefore it didn't need the cross - as PGC pointed out, the fish is a symbol of Christianity that is still commonly used today (although crosses are considerably easier from an architectural point of view than fish). The emphasis on the crucifixion seems to me to be two-fold: 1) it was a spectacularly brutal, public and humiliating form of execution and therefore shows the degree to which Christ is told to have suffered for us, but also the emphasis on Christ's death is crucial as it leads to the resurrection - the most important part of the Christian story of Christ. It's many many years since I studied RS GCSE, but I seem to recall that Christ's time on the cross was around 6 hours, but that typically death by crucifixion took considerably longer than that. Which might, or might not, suggest that the excruciating slow tortuous method of death was less important than the simple fact of his death.

I walk into doorframes. A lot. I'm going to have to start claiming spousal abuse so people don't think I'm an utter retard. You wouldn't want to go on the pill?

intravenous? Vrouw, you suggesting we all get smacked up and then we can shoot the shit more interestingly?

Haha Moos, I'm with you on this one. The irrational part of mine is that, when I've washed my hair in the morning, I somehow think that my lovely clean delicious smelling hair is more likely to soak up the dirty dirty cigarette smell. It's weird, smoking doesn't bother me at any other time, but when I've washed my hair, it makes me really quite cross.

Oh yeah, and don't I just know it

I like steamy windows, but my penchant for 80s soft rock doesn't win me any friends for the most part, so I tend to keep it under wraps.

Yeah, fuck you MacGabhann - you saying MY points aren't valid???? Ha, I dunno - this thread seems to have excited some sensible discourse - everyone's responsibility to try to create some interesting threads, no?

Matt Smith - he's no David Tennant - but I well would. Well, I well would if he wasn't going out with that irritant Daisy Lowe.

Hmm Sean, I think the Drawing Room is a fine thing in theory, but the reality is that I seldom go in there because I don't have the time. Having changed jobs, I have an altogether more hit and run approach to the forum these days, as I have very little time to get on here (today's "working from home" notwithstanding). That seemed to me to be more acceptable when serious discussions took place in the Lounge, but the posts in the Drawing Room are a lot longer and a lot more considered, and I think consequently deserving of an equally considered response. Unfortunately I don't have the time for that at work any more, but I'm a bit bored in the Lounge - I do miss the days of having a bit of argy-bargy with the likes of Huguenot, Mick Mac and even (whisper it) TLS. As for mikecg, he wasn't combative - combat suggests a degree of skill - he was just angry and needed professional help. edited because I can't spell today

Well there's feisty (interesting, never heard a man described as that before) and there's downright c*ntishness

Or the time when, I think it was a monk, had amnesia and said "my not remembering" about someone being shot on a train, and Cracker immediately knew it wasn't him because he used the possessive with the gerund (I do have a slightly freakishly detailed recollection of this) plus ca change...

Otherwise why the fuck would we think complete strangers would have any interest in anything we had to say? (you know who you are people - I know what I am, but what are you?) Still, Vrouw, wasn't there a thread in the What's On section a wee while back about swinging action in ED? This has to be an optimistic thought, no? We like each other enough to want to have pop-socked sex on the synthetic settee while the kids are at mums'.
