So . . . was that aimed at me, or . . . hmm . . . . I was quoted, but . . . hmmm . . .
I think I quie like being told to arse off, it's rude, but kind of sexy. Because it's got 'arse' in it. Arses can be sexy.
Quote: chipolata @ April 8 2010, 5:11 PM BST...ARSE OFF!
I'd hate to walk into a room and hear those last two words and sit there embarrassed wondering what the rest of the sentence had been... especially if it was my Dad speaking to my Mam.
Talking of arses, I walked behind a lovely one today. I was so impressed I took a photo on my phone. I might post it later.

I assume the "MP" in his title stands for "Motion Picture," seeing as he obviously has his head so far up their asses that he can tell what they had for breakfast this morning.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ April 8 2010, 4:57 PM BSTI remember staying at a B&B once, ran by a very sweet seeming old lady. Then one night she said, in quite a pleasant manner, 'It is really a nice place to live round her . Apart from all the dirty f**king niggers'. It's quite tricky to know how to react when that's suddenly tossed at you! I think I did a strangled little titter and shuffled off.
I usually say my husband/mum/whatever is black. That shuts them up. They're very sure of their views until it comes to saying them to someone who is black's face.

Well, obviously.
They're petrified of being made into a voodoo doll.

I don't want them to shut up, they're quite entertaining.

Not when it's someone you've come to quite like! And therefore assume is sane and ordinary.
It's just rather disturbing.

Do you put this stuff into your sketches? It's quite funny!
Quote: Scatterbrained Floozy @ April 8 2010, 4:44 PM BSTIt does annoy me incredibly with books more than anything, though. I need to use books to work, and the prices are extortionate. I just looked up one to buy on Amazon - £18! Two of my books this year have already cost that much, and if I buy this other one it'll only be for a few lines of insight. The libraries are rubbish for it too, with a lack of short loans meaning that people have the books for ages, and might not even be using them. And if that's just another supposed reason to make University fees higher, then politicians need to admit that this cancels out the possibility of higher education for many, despite loans, rather than makingit a better experience for all.
Robyn,
I was only kidding about Beowulf before of course,,
But you are LUCKY if your books cost only around £18 a time. Technical books for IT & other technical issues cost typically £30 to £60 each.
As I look around the technical books surrounding me here at home, I realise yet again, what a fortune I have spend on such books; a quick calculation comes to at least £9000 possibly lots more.
Recently I bought the IEE Wiring regulations and its on-site guide and the pair cost me £75 at a special discount.
And unlike classics, technical books go out of date and you have to buy the same book again after some time.
>_<

Oh, you have no idea. The man is a tool of epic proportions.

I think we all know the answer to that.

The letter is from Stephen Timms and he has totally confused the phrase IP address (which means Internet Protocol Address) with IP meaning Intellectual Property and he is ADVISING the MP pushing the bill through parliament.
===============================
Too late now...All done now. The damning bill has been rushed though by all the know-nots, including Her Majesty who has approved the bill today (presumably having given her representative instructions to give the Royal Assent, BEFORE todays brief discussions of the Bill).
