  1. But did political correctness ever have stated intentions? It's not a movement as such and there's no organised agenda. I think of it as verbal camoflage which can be used to disguise personal attacks on those expressing opinions deemed excessively caring. Instead of an individual expressing dislike - which can be awkward and embarrassing - to cloak that dislike beneath what seems to be pre-existing social trend can work to make that unpleasant attitude sound ok. It's not bigotry or racist in itself and Mr Lee is a bit casual about that. How un PC of him.
  2. It seems Derby aren't actually in Premier League this season.
  3. asset, post the image on the web then use the globe/chain icon to link to it. ;-)
  4. sean, the editing saga was down an uploading befuddlement.
  5. A classic and a little obvious but I'm a sucker for Peter Saville's design for the Technique LP by New Order. http://www.oneanother.ltd.uk/i/technique.jpg
  6. A classic and a little obvious but I'm a sucker for Peter Saville's 'Technique' - New Order.
  7. I was that volunteered DJ and am looking forward to it already. Could do with a few of us doing the sounds, anyone else up for sharing the role? BarryM? I'll be using my laptop but we could set up decks too. Michael, we should ask the Plough about their set-up. ap
  8. too lame
  9. Penny for the guy is begging unless the guy is well crafted in which case you're sponsoring art.
  10. I agree Keef, the scary monsters should go to people who can take the fear and have some treats in stock - and no I don't mean razor blades mixed in with sweets. Maybe we could see you out as a miserable scary git? And those sweary kids should know that money is a crap treat, they will grow up scary but not in a funny way.
  11. Pure evil mockney.
  12. And as for the integrity of the NFL? The teams are all franchises which can relocate when attendances drop. There's no relegation or promotion, new teams are invented when someone comes up with the cash so it's all about money and has been since way before our Soccerball got it's cash engines all fired up. We should give the US Real Tennis and Darts.
  13. This is all a bit nuts. People on the radio were gushing about the chance that one day that Superbowl XXVVIIIVMMetc will be hosted here and maybe the Premier League and Champions League playing games over there. Have any of the morons coming up with these ideas heard of global warming?
  14. I too had one of the those (very poorly executed) leaflet/flyers. I find it perverse that the Police have time to do this kind of vague and incoherent scaremongering. They seem to be implying that people should be really scared of a few kids asking for sweets in case they might be Jason or Freddie A few weeks back my car was broken into on Overhill Road and lots of stuff taken. The police didn't even return my call and on-one visited. They were too busy thinking up that flyer. Sigh.
  15. A 'travesty' it is not, as for 'driv(ing) a road across the the park', they seem not to know what across means. I'm wondering if the Friends of Brockwell Park is a front for the drunks who are the only people who use that patch of the park. Oh, and I think it's a great idea. (edited to include a positive)
  16. - Desireless :^)
  17. Catchy enough to get lodged in the brain and replay, over and over, whether you like it or not. A positive example. An involved and important phone conversation with a client was going well until I started hearing "It's alright to say things can only get better, you haven't lost your brand new sweater". I fessed up and admitted my plight and the client was very understanding. A negative example. Desree's 'Life'. The line "I'm afraid of a ghost, rather have a piece of toast and watch the evening news" is capable of downing a whole day. Twisted. Careful if you click the link, only listen once. ap
  18. Hope you have a great day and marriage Keef!
  19. Hustler - Simian Dancing Shoes - Bob Marley Valerie - Mark Ronson with Amy Winehouse Peace frog - The Doors I Bet you Look Good on the Dance Floor - Arctic Monkeys Witness the fitness - Roots Manuva Close to me - The Cure Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode Upside Down - Donna Summer Adidas Hoodie - Lady Sovereign Ahjustwannadance - Superthriller So many more would have to take a day off work to list them.
  20. Kimbo is my favourite coffee, fiesty and Neopolitan. It's stocked in SMBS and no I don't work there.
  21. I just hope it all just gets on and ends soon so I can get back to buying stuff i don't need, driving about in a 4x4 the size of peckham and then settling down to watch endless sport on my plazmar skream. Snorky, could you knock me up a diamondette anderson shelter? I'll pay you later etc.
  22. Civilisation is ending, of that there is no doubt. A convenient 'oops, where have all the americans gone?' moment would come in handy. Barring that mockney's link to flow charts will keep me happy. And my kids won't get the mad max thing at all.
  23. I'm so glad to see Osbourne Stewart, local estate agents and free internet access providers still have support after such malicious accusations were laid against them. The idea that one of their staff actually impersonated a member of the public and shamelessly promoted their business here on the forum is farcical, they would never do something so silly. I wish them every success and once they've ceased trading as an estate agent and made the tough switch to being a DVD/webcafe, does anyone know what kind of movies they will stock?
  24. shitty death that's harsh. six (not seven) cats in one garden might tip me over some edge and I have a cat. here comes the cat snobbery? my cat is burmese and so is relaxed, peaceable and sans juice so non of this turf war nonsense all they fluffy cats go in for. and burmese live for ages unless snaffled by people who have truck driving mates (organised weirdoes). so, cat owners should hook up with burmese breeders then everybody nice. ap
  25. 1. Doorstepping Someone came to my front door and; was flogging crap cleaning equipment offered me some old fish wanted money asked me to vote for them needed somewhere to sleep believed I should believe in God hoped to steal things left fake charity unwanted clothes flyers. I said no to most of them, was a little peeved but got over it. ap
