This sort of stuff makes us look like the bed-wetting parochials certain non ED types consider us to be.

May I watch?

Sorry Katie, but that can only be declared by Huncamunca.

And where are Sly and Reggie for that matter ?

James, actually decided not to join when I realised I'd have to check a timetable to see if I could actually get in for a swim.

James - any plan to make the pool available to men at all tines ? Seems a shame to fork out for membership and then find you're barred at certain times. Or is it possible to get membership that excludes the pool?

See what you did there.

Sorry OP - these trawls traditionally get short shrift on here. Shrift ... Is that the right word ? If so what is shrift? It must vary in length if you can have a short one....

Crikey. What a unique world view

Hey how did meeting go ?

Talking "with" someone. Surely this means you are both speaking at the same time, innit? Also no task/challenge/change appears to be large or considerable, these days. It's always "massive".

Actually, re-reading the thread title - condoms.

The chap living across the road from me remembers being buried under the rubble of the post office as a child after a German airstrike. PM me and I'll approach him for you if you wish. Unless you ARE him of course.Would also be great to include local people who've died in Iraq and afghanistan.

It was a foolish vainglorious folly. And a load of bollox.

Can't sleep with a wardrobe or bedroom door open. In case of apparitions.

Luther must surely be the most ambitious home grown thriller on TV. Yes full of faults and improbabilities but still head and shoulders above the others. Can convey real darkness and the protagonist is a powerful figure. Series two better than the first, so far

I can trump that. The modern remake of Wicker Man featured some of the worst acting ever committed to celluloid ... chief culprit .... Nicholas Cage. Most ludicrous scene must have been Cage slugging Cathy Bates..in a bear suit.

Interesting statistic there illybilly99. Where's it come from ? And what's your point? Bit weird to define 'respectability' in terms of the unattrative aspirational ED fripperies you mention. These videos are pernicious and annoying - but I don't think catastrophist approach helps. Don't be frightened of every black kid you see in a hoody. He could be my son or that of one of my mates - and end up being the person performing that hip replacement surgery you need or defending you in that fraud trial, or even becoming your MP. DJKQ I agree with most of what you say - including councils retaining the right to threaten recalcitrant parents with expulsion from social housing. Also hats off to you for actually doing something to help. Good positive stuff. I think Quids has the measure of things with his comments about this obnoxious kind of material largely ( though not exclusively ) being about kids wanting to look hard.
