My last pet was flushed down the toilet.

Reminds me of an ex, (who has since become a much closer friend than ever he was a partner) - happy happy happy, just impossible not to feel moved and happy listening to it

Well did you hear, there's a natural order Those most deserving will end up with the most That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top Well I say, "Shit floats" If you thought things had changed Friend, you'd better think again Bluntly put, in the fewest of words: C*nts are still running the world C*nts are still running the world Now the working classes are obsolete They are surplus to society's needs So let 'em all kill each other And get a maid overseas. That's the word, don't you know From the guys that's running the show Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls, C*nts are still running the world C*nts are still running the world Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails, Find a school near the top of the league In theory I respect your right to exist I will kill you if you move in next to me. Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so C*nts are still running the world C*nts are still running the world The free market is perfectly natural Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy? It's the ideal way to order the world "F*ck the morals, does it make any money?" And if you don't like it, then leave, Or use your right to protest on the streets. Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard: Oh no no no, c*nts are still running the world.

I know he's no longer of these shores and I know I've never actually seen him, but Huguenot is a forum hottie surely, and warrants not anyone's pity...

Edited because I can be a grumpy cow and I don't want to rise to this bait

Mick Mac Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- she loved it Yes Mick, that's what they all say. Oh, and "feigning embarrassment"??? Sweet mother of god man. Was she wearing a short skirt too? Hmm, I remember now why I originally decided not to comment on this thread.

Not as green as you're cabbage looking?

Swagger, I can't quite place the accent. Are you from Tiverton?

Hmm legalbeagle, I'm generally of the opinion that the sort of man who shouts at a woman from a moving vehicle / overhead scaffolding / outside a pub with his mates is the kind of tiny-dicked-can't-get-it-up type who's never likely to get a girlfriend. And of course it's entirely unacceptable that they should feel entitled to comment on your appearance in that way. However the unpalatable truth is that sometimes for some people it is vaguely flattering to be on the receiving end of a wolf whistle. I am a card-carrying feminist, but even I have been known once or twice to smile when I've thought I wasn't looking all that, and someone else has, erm, expressed their appreciation. The problem is that it's a fine fine line, and even though I smiled, I'd say it's categorically unacceptable to heckle strangers in the street. It is objectification and that's not ok. But as to whether you should have felt offended - I think that's a matter for you - depends on your mood at the time really, and certainly don't let anyone tell you how you should or shouldn't feel. Although maybe pity for their tiny penises would have been the apposite emotion.

Weed? Anyone got some? Pop round.

What the hell kind of hotels are you staying in Brendan? Or have I mistaken your meaning on the battery powered personal electronics?

Thanks all, some very good ideas indeed (except Mick who is very very lucky to have found a woman to love him in spite of his understanding them so very very little) Am I right in thinking G&B does bottle shop champagne on Friday nights? I saw a sign but it could have been a one-off. Actually, would it be gauche to buy champagne for a friend who is in the throes of splitting up? Actually, perhaps I should be toasting her new-found freedom...

Woof, you are a gentleman and scholar - I love your bitchiness (just so we're clear) *spits her cider out all over the table and lets go a tiny wee bit of wee*

A friend is coming to stay with me the weekend after next - she's going through a painful separation that has also left her skint. We were originally going to go for a weekend away but her straitened financial circumstances have put paid to that. I want to treat her to a weekend of girlie fun and am happy to pick up the tab, but because I'm paying for two, am looking for cost-effective (not cheap!) suggestions. To be honest, she'd probably be happy sinking a few bottles and snogging someone inappropriate at Liquorish, but I'd like to do something special for her Any brilliant ideas (or knowledge of amazing deals on spa packages / day trips to Paris)? Or, you know, offers of inappropriate snogs.

woof, sometimes I think you might actually be a bitch

I'm intrigued by what those true colours might be - what are the true colours of a possibly-illegal (or possibly-entirely-spuriously-accused) fly-posting politician? Is it perhaps showing their true colours to be quite street? Because I'd be down with that my brother - at last, someone who really knows what's what in the badlands of SE24.

Cooking a 7-hour leg of lamb for friends while wearing bunny ears (for no one else's benefit but my own, they just make me laugh) Rhubarb Cashmere socks

Also, D_C is like well fit innit, and that Dr Who geezer's a bit funny looking

Sean, I assumed those venues were suggested as being child-friendly... (Giraffe certainly is)

My old nan had one of those - most peculiar - would have been worth filming too I reckon on account of all the shady strangers who kept telling me how sorry they were for my loss. Would have solved at least 6 or 7 open cases on Crimewatch I imagine. However, I concur with the majority - the thought of someone filming my grief (or indeed unbecoming lack of it) is pretty abhorrent.

A few years ago, Tesco put out a story that people were buying satsumas in preference to clementines, because of the social embarrassment of what to do with the pips (pick? spit? swallow?) Seems Brum you may be their perfect target demographic (how terribly un-ED).

Don't know about on a train, but certainly in my office, it's the place for the special hangover quiet time (and before I get kneecapped, 18 disabled toilets, 1 wheelchair user - chances are, no one's waiting)

Someone trying the door when you're in the disabled toilet: it's too far away to put a protective foot out against it so you're already feeling vulnerable. It's got a red indicator to show it's occupied you fecker. Can't you just check that, instead of shaking the door to the very foundations of the building (and to the point where I think you might actually shake the special lock free), when I'm trying to have some very special alone time.

As is Stokie these days. I think they outnumber us on the inordinately expensive baby shops too.

I read yesterday that it starts at 35. So next birthday I will be 34.
