Can I just take this opportunity to say that I hate itunes? I hate, it I hate it, I hate it. Why the fuck does it refuse to acknowledge that any other software other than fucking itunes exists? Why does it think that it knows best what music I want to listen to? Why won?t it give me the file information I want? It?s like a petulant, cane happy house master with a religious bent badly in need of a good shooting.

there's a shark in Summer Bay dontchaknow.

Yeah but that?s cheating, skinning up makes Home and Away funny.

And the odds on favourite gets it. Although I though Jah was going to make a surprise move.

Pipe Full would be quite a good name too.

Perhaps, although more than anything I know that this post is offering this thread up like some sort of sacrificial lamb.

And, breath...

Chip Eater would be a good name for a beer. So would Feckless Eejit or Old Anorak

How much for a pipe full?

Don?t insult the devil like that. I like to think he has more style and would at least have had some black candles and women with goats legs involved. That is the work of delusional egomaniacs preying on the unsophisticated and vulnerable.

They have pollocks there I presume.

Pollocks.

Sounds interesting, do any of the locals have it on tap?

Yeah that?s always bothered me. I?m sure anoraks were only invented in 2006.

Jesus!* That?s just voodoo. *If you?ll pardon the pun.

You?re thinking of Columbo Kahn, the epic detective series set in the Mongol Empire which was ended mid-series by a pillock from Porlock.

Although you?re right, this dead horse has had just about enough I think. And why on the gods? green earth am I letting idiots in charge of keyboards get to me. I should know better.

Yeah yeah, inappropriate comments about plunging necklines and fukboots are a completely different story Sean.

Not that I intend to come across confrontational or old fashioned or whatever but isn?t the most worrying thing about this the borderline aggression being shown by men towards women? I can just about understand it from other women towards women but where I grew if a man displayed that sort of aggression towards a woman they would, justifiably, get quite badly hurt. I dunno maybe it?s ok if it?s online or something.

You could try opium I suppose.

I could probably write a book about cooking while under the influence of ale. 3am, Heinz Beans surprise anyone?

Isn?t it dirty lines that give beer a metallic aftertaste?

There is something is what Mockney saying but I wouldn?t be too cynical about it all, maybe just a little cautious. While many new-age-yoga-ninja places are just offering a genuine retreat from the stresses of the world mixed in with some good exercise, healthy eating and time for reflection there are some that are looking to get people to follow their way of doing things. These places prey on the needy and are often run by weirdos with huge egos. We already have a perfectly good institution for spiritually and emotionally needy people. It?s called church.

A word of warning; Hiking is nothing like fishing even thought they sell the stuff at the same shop and it?s all brown. That getaway sounds pretty fun though. How many days is it? Could get tedious after about a week.

I never said it was real ale. Or even ale for that matter. I just said it was good for pie. It?s good for stew too.
