Hmmm.. highly successful shopping spree, topped with sashimi and saki. Life's good.

I think it's both tragic and sad, I just don't have much sympathy. I really hope I don't sound callous, because I'm not that type of person, but much worse things happen to people every day and unlike Best, they have no choice. 60233[/snapback] Exactly.

Not when I was a child Sammy- but now..... BBCAmerica....

Can't help but hum the theme to 'Button Moon' to myself now.

Fair enough- be taken aback. Simple fact is he chose to facilitate it, regardless of whether or not he chose to become one.

Yes, he has managed to completely knack a new liver in three years, I imagine that takes some doing. It is sad, but it is difficult to have sympathy. 60208[/snapback] I have no difficulty whatsoever in feeling a lot of sympathy for him. It's not like he made a conscious decision to become an alcoholic. 60214[/snapback] WUM but I'll slightly bite with a sarcastic- 'Oh I'm sure his hands were always tied and he was forced to swallow that devil's brew.'

Terrible thing, yet my sympathy is tempered- didn't he have a liver transplant some years ago? And still drinking? Not meaning this in a cruel or harsh way, and I would never wish that kind of death on anyone , but fact is he brought it on himself. Tragic tho.

Pass. And on that note I'm getting my sorryarsed self off to bed. Lovely thing a holiday tomorrow- cook like mad and have the men piss off to watch gridiron football. Couple of bottles of wine for me- sorted.

should know that with benders(as well as in fact most things in life) it's all a matter of perspective.

Nah... I've been suckered into drinking that stuff that you'd suspect contains a high percentage of another Colombian export to drive the price of it into the stratosphere...posh or gutter coffee- the distinction is lost on me- can't stand the smell, nevermind the taste.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... tea. With biccies. Has me feeling better already.

has made me giggle and is correct.

Coffee is minging. Vile nasty gagworthy stuff. Now, chocolate covered coffee beans.. that's another story.

suspects being dang bent is preferable to having a bent dang.

knows I'm better than average full stop.

While you're there.... a cuppa would be lovely- 2 sugars and milk ta.

is Sammynb's biggest fan

Hmmm... GF fucking up or is it my cold meds kicking in?....

has been perusing the lost scene footage from 'Pretty Woman'

As in Williams?!?!

has a firm grasp on his genitalia vocabulary.

Maybe Craig, but I can say from experience here that in general we have less of the binge/hurry up get hammered/power drink that I saw in my limited travels abroad. Pub/bar patrons still get completely pissed, but it's a gradual thing which again in my limited observations leads to less fights with other customers as well as barstaff. I like being able to get served at 2am should I wish. Last call anyone?

despite allegedly possessing such anatomical equipment, is still unable to spell 'testicles' correctly.

About the same temps here Zath, with snow due tonight. Don't think it'd phase me too much except for the $425 worth of fuel oil I just had to pay for.
