Lou

Excuse me a minute: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmkay..... feel slightly better now.... Thank you. Please continue as before.

*I really can't think of any reaction to put that doesn't involve being simply swear word after swear word after swear word. I don't care what any of you think, he's still my favourite player, and I'm pissed that I won't be able to see him play. He's just ruining ALL my fun....*

I'm listening to Idle Jack and The Big Sleep.... a band from York. My brother was managing them... or maybe he still is, I dunno, I've not talked to him about it for a while. They're damn cool... completely different from anything else... went to a gig they did that they filmed to produce a DVD of it, and it was just amazing. Needless to say, my parents hated it. It was "too loud". These guys have such potential though..... they're certainly not your run of the mill band!

Mags, you missed out the word 'antlers'. It's all about the antlers... We're never gonna let that one go Brockster.......

And to think this used to be a nice thread about Smarties......

You could do a Dave Gorman and get a drivers' license tattooed onto your arm, complete with Americanised birthdate and ginger beard if you want. I mean, you probably WOULDN'T want.... but the suggestion's still there.

There's a website somewhere of a cartoon representation of 'misheard' lyrics for Ticket to Ride.... (I probably saw it for the first time on here) "she's got a chicken to ride, my baby donkey"....

Do not tempt me to write to Nestle to ask if the smarties will become hexagonal in order to fit better into/with the new packaging. Because I will. And they'll probably offer me reimbursement on my unsatisfactory round smarties. Acccttuuuaallllyyy...... that gives me an idea.......... *plots and ponders*

I just found out that Smarties no longer are being put into tubes. Instead of being cylindars.... they are now hexagonal. AND DO NOT HAVE PLASTIC CAPS!!!! I just thought that those who were as yes unaware of this absolute TRAVESTY needed to be told. I think my whole world has fallen apart upon hearing this news

SPLEEN.

I still, and will forever, sing "to see the bleedin' raisons" instead of 'blaydon races'. Damn that confused me at my first footy match... ("why are they singing about raisons, dad?") A friend of a friend thought that I Predict A Riot was "I have tourettes, and I am a giant" My friend thought Enya's Sail Away was "Save The Whales". I had more, but I forget...

Fishster...

Best film in the world <:>give or take a few that might be better<:> is, without any ~or at least much~ doubt..... *drumroll please* THUNDERSTRUCK. It's Aussie. But it's FANTASTIC. It's just wonderous in so many ways. Not least because it stars Damon Gameau, who is undeniably hot stuff but not so much you want to hit him for his perfection. And also not least for the bit where physically handicapped midgits attack one of the main characters with their wheelchairs. Quite wrong, but so, so funny. AND, a fantastic soundtrack. Oh yes!! Simply spiffing stuff! PS - Fishie: no brackets in sight on this one, eh?

But it's fun putting things in parenthesis........ (isn't it?)

It must be so weird to be a celebrity and have people taking pics of you ALL the time, even when you're not doing anything. I've just signed up to Jenson's forum, although I'm not planning on posting much, because they scare me a bit on there, but I thought I'd be nice and show them a couple of the nicest pics of Jens from the karting. And they, bless their cotton socks, have compiled (from the internet) vast numbers of random Jenson photos on there...... most of them trackside, obviously. But it's like, he can't even take his helmet off without having a gazillion photos taken of him. I mean, yes I like the excitement of meeting someone that you feel like you already know because you've seen them on TV.... and yes, I love to have photos of them to look at so I can giggle and go "aww, he's so pretty, and he looks just like he did at the karting" or "on $15m a year, surely you can afford a haircut?!!!!" (i mean, seriously...!) ... but the scale of it just freaks me out. Do we really need a million photos of him taking off his helmet?? And do we then need to copy them onto forums to share with others? You can't even tell it's him, for gods sake!! I'm scared by both the intensity of the media, and the worrying obsession of *groups* of fans. Just one obsessive (but friendly!) (and hug worthy, lest we not forget!!!!) fan (aka: me) is FINE. And easy to cope with. (Restraining order works a charm. ..... or so I've heard...) But a whole breeding ground of obsession??!!! That's a bit scary. Anyways, that's my little, slightly bizarre, verging on the hypocritical, piece on celebrity for now.

Welcome back, Sir Laz! And Quantum Leap absolutely ROCKS. I was very excited to go over a bridge at Universal Studios that was used in one of the episodes. I like the one when the devil takes over Al and also appears in the form of a goat. Ingenius.

That kind of cool is relative Lou. 77098[/snapback] I thought the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] tags for the bit you highlighted might not be needed. I love how Stingray says "foccachia-ed" blatantly instead of "fucked". I can't spell foccachia, though, I don't think. I think I foccachiaed it up.

I love the names of episodes of Neighbours...... (yes, I'm the coolest person ever!) My faves have been: "Spiggin' Huftas" "Cricket Makes Me Cry" and the oh so duel-to-the-death-of-the-world sounding... "BOYD vs SATAN"

hooray! whatfore did I do to earn myself a coconut? *feels chuffed*

"York and Pork: The Book!"

And apparently you got to "tiptoe through the slush" as well.........

We had it deleted in the old days, Mags. It's never been the same since that first 'un....... I miss Rik and Laz and Sonty

I dunno, sounds familiar to me.

There was a bit when everyone was meant to read out (chant, perhaps?) about how we believe in god and his almightiness and although we are not worthy to believe in him, he lets us, and all that crap. I didn't say it. I thought God would be more angry at me for saying it and not meaning it, than asserting myself and not saying it at all. Either way, I'll burn in hell, right?? Hey, have you guys missed this news?? Jesus was on cannabis, apparently. http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/st...,869273,00.html
