Ban them from public transport.
Who? Pensioners, that's who!
Went shopping in town today with my eldest. Would rather have pulled out my eyelashes individually, but "school stuff" must be purchased before the little blighters go back.
We got what we went for (as well as soaked 'cos it's pissing down!) and hopped on the bus to come home.
It was fairly busy but my daughter and I got a seat downstairs. We got three stops and the bus went from "fairly busy" to "packed to the roof". Two elderly women got on and we, being polite well-mannered young ladies (no, really!) stood up to give them the seat.
Did they thank us?Did they buggery fuck. No they did not.
One of them looked us up and down and sneered (and I mean sneered),
"I should think so too. We're entitled to these seats, you know. We're pensioners."
Now I don't know about where you guys live, but here in Edinburgh killing pensioners on the bus is rather frowned upon. So I didn't. I was sorely tempted, but I didn't. I turned the other cheek (actually, I exchanged raised eyebrows and rolled eyes with my daughter and said none of what was racing through my head). But she wasn't finished. Oh, no.
"My taxes paid for your education you know," she announced to me from the comfort of the nice warm seat I'd given her. More raised eyebrows between my daughter and I. Eyes were rolled (it's amazing how far they can roll on a moving bus!) but a dignified silence was maintained.
"I said, my taxes paid for your education, you know. In case you didn't hear me, since you didn't bother to respond," quoth the old bat in the see-through rain hat. To whom I was determined not to give the satisfaction of an answer.
My beloved, wonderful, intelligent and resourceful daughter then proved that she is, indeed, TheWeeWitch's progeny.
With a completely straight face, she announced,
"I'm very sorry madam, but I'm afraid we don't understand you." Only she said it in French. Which I can't spell. So I've typed it in English, which I can spell (mostly). A lady sitting behind them very kindly told the old ladies what my daughter had said, adding for good measure, "I think they're French."
The old bat's face was redder than a very very red thing. My daughter and I then had to stand all the way home, not saying a word, stifling our laughter, until the old buggers got off. At the stop before ours.
We're still chuckling now, some time later.
I am a very proud mummy, let me tell you.

Dear QOTW.
I want to talk to you all about a friend of mine, and who is hopefully a friend of yours. He goes on here by the name of Phsyco_Chomp. He brings a hell of a lot to this board, he speaks resonably and is a good laugh.
As far as I'm concerned, he's a top bloke and a top member.
Now, I understand that some people on here can be a bit sensative, have had hard lives and can write their own books on being on the wrong side of the tracks.
Some White Knight in Shinning Binary has complained against him to the mods, and he his voice (and the light in my life (and this board)) has been dimmed to a picture of a crying cat, for the next 3 days.
As such, I will not be posting on /qotw (aside from this thread) for the same time. I've seen the comment he was talking about, and some people seem to be stuck in a cotton ball bubble world.
I'll leave you with this.
EDIT Please don't go the mods about this, they're aware of the situation and if everyone bother's them, then it'll just be a bit shit, they don't need this crap as much as we don't.
EDIT 2 No point cutting my nose to spite my face, I'll still post, just won't be anything of any use.

Bastard Medical Receptionists
Where do they create these haggard harridans?
Why do we put up with the nonsensical rules put in place by these pseudo-medical harpies who make it their life's work to stop you gaining access to the bollock-squeezer?
I've been told in the past that my week-old daughter with breathing difficulties was 'not an emergency' according to the post-menopausal cat's-arsehole-mouthed velociraptor behind the desk.
This morning the same daughter requires some medical attention - nothing major, just a referral to a specialist, the poxy GP just needs to type about ten words and off-ski.
There is one scab-lifter at this practice who specialises in rugrats, so we ask for him.
Booked solid.
Hang on, retorts I, how can he be booked solid when I called you at 0831 when the phones open at 0830? Ohh, you changed the appointment booking robot line opening hours and you now open at 0800? At what point were you planning to tell anybody? Oh, you weren't.....still never mind, I would be ever so grateful if you could stick junior down for one of your finest appointments for tomorrow, pleasey please.
You "can't" book appointments in advance? Well Heavens to Betsy, what a fine system you have there. Almost as good as the rule that you can't take pushchairs with you.
So I have come up with the formula that Ernst Stavro Bastard must have used in his super secret lair high in the Pyrenees. The same man responsible for the genetic engineering of Kevin the Trainee Sales Rep, Double Glazing Door-Knockers and BT Helpline operators. No offence, like. Program your clones as follows:
1. Female. Mid 40's on. This might be a stereotype, but they are. I briefly worked at a major University practice (yep, if you were at Edinburgh Uni 18 years ago I read your notes and may well have drawn pictures in the margin or recommended you for gender reversal surgery) and it's true.
2. All men are bastards. Except doctors. They are to be worshipped on bended knee.
3. All students are skivers.
4. All medical receptionists have the medical diagnosis skills of Doctor Kildare with a copy of Blacks rammed up his jacksie. Forget NHS Direct, these gargoyles in, well gargoyle form know everything.
5. It is mandatory to let a phone ring for at least a minute before even thinking of answering it. If you are talking to Brenda about her nephew Nokia and his latest ASBO, then your private life has priority. As does tea, Hello magazine, and sharpening your fangs as you await darkness when you can swoop out of the night sky seeking the blood of the innocent.
6. Faxes must be shredded or binned BEFORE reading. Failure to misplace vital medical information on at least a daily basis will result in your expulsion from the union and your hob-nobs will be confiscated.
7. Every department of every hospital is incompetent compared to the GP surgery as it is always the hospital that has lost the results.
8. 'The System' will crash a minimum of six times a day, meaning that no work can be done, calls accepted, or anything apart from blaming the Helpdesk. As nothing exists in reality unless it is on 'The System' you will be left with a waiting room full of mummified former patients, GPs idly experimenting with naughty drugs, or throwing one up a nurse in the store cupboard.
9. Cardigans are mandatory.
10. Personal hygiene is not.
I may continue.
I do not have issues.

So Badger's moving out, and I'm quite gutted, she is without a doubt the best person I've lived with since I moved out the family home. However, if you wish to fill her boots, so to speak, then read on. =)
Ladies and Gentleman of the board, I have an offer that can change your life. You see, time has come once again that I have a room for rent. Financial details will be available upon gaz, but there is a chance for you live with Me ! Gonz ! Your friendly neighbourhood web developer from the Beverly Hills of North London. I'm totally going to advertise this all over the show, but I'd rather get a b3tan who I know/semi-know than a stranger off the street who'll rummage through my cherrios taking all the dark coloured ones.
Here's the shcpeal.
- It's in Southgate, North London. About a minute from the tube, I could probably hold my breath or maybe two breaths in the time it takes me to walk to the station. Three at a push.
- Southgate contains:
- • Awesome links into central london, enfiled town and finchley.
- • Massive ASDA, Marks'n'Sparks, Tescos, Subway, The best turkish food available to humanity and lots of other resturants.
- • L.A Fitness, Huge public swimming pool and gym (I think it's olympic sized because it takes me 4 duck-dives to make it across and if I wee in the water in the middle of the pool, it doesn't heat up the edges)
- • An easy bus to Cockfosters, where you can point at a sign going "LOL COCKS", with loads of bespoke shops such as fishmongers and butchers.
- • Loads of pubs and bars. In fact, there is one downstairs, a private members club where you get free access including snooker tables and darts.
- • Easy bus to Enfield town that has a huge cinema and big shopping area and rioting.
- About the room
- • It's a haaaUUUUUge room, I'd say you could fit 4 double beds in there easy.
- • A roof garden (minus plants) that overlooks a police station so you can spy on hot wo/men in uniform. BBQ if the weather is nice.
- About the flat
- • Sky telly, internet, ps3, 360, generally got everything a geek would have.
- • I have friends over for dinner every month or soo where I cook things such as Lobster and Scallops. I cook about 4 times a week and love cooking for people, it's not always edible, but sometimes it's devine.
- • I'm not obsessivly neat'n'tidy, quite the opersite, I'm quite messy, but I'm not dirty or unclean. I am a hell of a lot cleaner now than I was before (for example, all the washing up happens on the day or morning after of eating).
- • Previous superstar flatmates include SuperMatt, Sexface, Neddy, Godzuki and the best one (without a doubt) is TGB.
- • I can make things very financially viable for the right person.
- • 1-3 month trial, if things don't work out, no big deal, you can move on, or I can move on.
So, if you're interested at all, or know someone who is, please do get in contact with me, I'd apprechate it.
One last thing, if you could popular page this, that would be fan-taby-dozy.

This is likely to be of scant import to most
but as of next weekend I am allowed to take my little girl out on my own.
As a self-styled reveller in this fine language we call 'English (UK)' it gives me great pleasure to state that I can find no words whatsoever to amply convey the elation and great joy I am feeling right now.
Without (hopefully) coming across like an emotional (and tedious) Oscar winner, there are so many people on B3ta who have been so supportive and helpful in their advice during my horrible journey: I cannot possibly thank you all enough. I genuinely couldn't have done it alone.
(Yes, I have been drinking)
(and no, I don't have a question)

NEWS FLASH!
In an announcement today, regular internet forum contributor and self confessed shirter, Monty Boyce (43), today admitted a sneaking love for the works of David Bowie (nee Jones) as long as they were performed by exceedingly loud heavy metaller bands.
In a recent exchange (http://www.b3ta.com/questions/offtopic/post667747), Mr Boyce was heard to comment that he would particularly like to hear a speeded up version of Space Oddity, as that was one of his favourites from when he was a child. "I used to sit in an old tin bath and pretend to be an astronaut in a space capsule when it came on the wireless", Mr Boyce told us. "And when the bleepy bit came on at the end, I would touch myself. I didn't know why at the time, but of course I realise now that I was subconsciously trying to get the space laser to work".
Mr Boyce's friends on the internet have vowed to rally round him in support, particularly since his admission that he'd love to hear the works of Keane performed by Hawkwind.
"It's a long road ahead, but we'll get him through it", one member of popular on-line chatroom B-three-ta said. "Either that, or we'll just get him completely off his tits and hope that he forgets all about it. Would you like to hug a kitten?" At this point, your roving reporter made his excuses and left.
Mr Boyce is 52 and still lives with his mother.

Sometimes, The Gags Just Write Themselves.
I haven't bothered much with QOTW over the last few months - mainly because I was sick to death of ankle-biters hooting "You made that up!! That never happened!!" So I decided not to bother anymore. I mean, whats the point of me slaving over a hot keyboard only to get called a liar half the time?
But I just had to tell you once more story. Happened today.
I was called out to a surgeons office down in Richmond, Melbourne, to fix a few niggly things with his network. When I was finished I was chatting to the doc and I mentioned that I was on the lookout for any spare anatomical models. Joints, bones - that sort of thing. The missus needs them for her study-group as the big consultant exams are looming.
"Yeah" says doc - "I've a couple of things you can have" and he rummaged through a cupboard and handed me a fully articulated femur, tibia and fibula complete with kneecap and all the bones in the feet.
"Oh - and you can have this as well" and chucked over a complete arm and hand skeleton. Again, fully articulated.
So I thanked him, gathered my gear and set off for home with the bits of skeleton tucked under my arm. I hailed a cab and settled in for the ride.
The cabbie was chatty and asked what I did for a living, so I told him computer consultant.
"Good money, is it?" he asked
"Mate" I said "I charge an arm and a leg" and waved my skeleton bits at him.
We almost crashed he was laughing that hard.
I tell you, you can't make this shit up....
Cheers

Apologies for my lateness but I was having a crisis in the REAL WORLD! SHOCK! HORROR!
Driving back from working this morning - had to take son #2 with me as he's got a sore throat and croaky voice and therefore can't irritate his teacher, instead he has to irritate me.
Hmm...
Anyway, also had my parents in the car - dental appointment, blah, blah, blah.
So, my darling eleven year old son blurts out, "Mum, what's a dido? Everyone at school says, You dido!"
Phew, I think, narrowly escaped that one...
"Darling, it's Dido and it's a name - she's a singer and there was also a woman in mythology called Dido married to a man called Aeneas - I'll find the story for you somewhere."
Oh, how middle class!
"No Mum, I got it wrong. What's a DILDO?"
................
My dad had (mercifully) nodded off in the warmth of the car.
My mother had to have the term 'blow job' explained to her some years ago so she sat silent.
I replied, "I don't know"
Well, what would you have said in front of your parents?
I then turned a ratherfelching fetching shade of scarlet as I attempted to stop laughing.
"You do know! You do! Mum! What's a dildo?!"
"....."
"Mum!"
"....."
"Mum! What's a dildo?!"
"Erm...what would you like for lunch?"
"A dildo please Mum. Dildo, dildo, dildo"

Driving back from working this morning - had to take son #2 with me as he's got a sore throat and croaky voice and therefore can't irritate his teacher, instead he has to irritate me.
Hmm...
Anyway, also had my parents in the car - dental appointment, blah, blah, blah.
So, my darling eleven year old son blurts out, "Mum, what's a dido? Everyone at school says, You dido!"
Phew, I think, narrowly escaped that one...
"Darling, it's Dido and it's a name - she's a singer and there was also a woman in mythology called Dido married to a man called Aeneas - I'll find the story for you somewhere."
Oh, how middle class!
"No Mum, I got it wrong. What's a DILDO?"
................
My dad had (mercifully) nodded off in the warmth of the car.
My mother had to have the term 'blow job' explained to her some years ago so she sat silent.
I replied, "I don't know"
Well, what would you have said in front of your parents?
I then turned a rather
"You do know! You do! Mum! What's a dildo?!"
"....."
"Mum!"
"....."
"Mum! What's a dildo?!"
"Erm...what would you like for lunch?"
"A dildo please Mum. Dildo, dildo, dildo"

Sandra, the Man Beast and Me
Belated response to last week's Cougars and Sugar Daddies QOTW, denied then due to newbie status.
Back in the heady days of yore when outstanding nights of revelry were fairly central to my core being, it was always my policy (once there was enough of the right stuff lapping about my insides) to actively seek out misadventure, adamant that the pursuit of full-power stupidity during one’s youth and young manhood was actually one of the cornerstones on which rich and satisfying lives were built.
And it was in this frame of mind, at the tail end of an invigorating little binge at a naff local nightspot, I met Sandra. She was one of those leathery-faced old birds you get with fondnesses for leopard print, short bleached hair and Regal cigarettes. She told me I looked like River Phoenix (wrong) with a touch of Ronan Keating (very wrong) and I maintained a diplomatic silence because I thought she looked like Grotbags.
Back at hers (yes, I know, but I had a policy to think of) she shimmied into the living room to fetch a couple of glasses and then immediately came rocketing back out again as though she’d met a lion in there or something. Grabbing me by the arm and hissing something about ex-husbands sleeping on sofas, she instructed me to go upstairs and wait for her in the bedroom at the top.
I found the room, perched on the edge of the bed and waited in the darkness as an argument between Sandra and an angry, booming voice began to emanate from below stairs. It was then I caught sight of the wedding photo on the wall. My bones turned to water as a nameless fear swept over me. The man-beast smiling out of the photograph was about 7ft 6 in height and covered in thick black hair – it was as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla and changed its mind at the last moment. And this thing was downstairs.
I buried head in hands and began quizzing myself out loud about what I had hoped to gain by coming back here – I mean, for what? Her? I am ashamed to admit that in my heightened state of remorse, I subjected Sandra to a pitiless character study that may have resulted in my saying a few off-colour things about her, including the fact she was a hoary old bird that probably took it up the shitter, and worse besides.
But just as I was running through this repertoire of foul abuse, the shouting stopped, a door slammed and I heard noises to support the theory that the man beast had skulked off. Sandra, full of relief and apology, entered the presence and flicked on the light I hadn’t dared to touch. The ordeal was over.
But the sudden impulse to start dancing around the room on my tiptoes while strewing roses from a bedside vase was squelched by the unmistakable look of fear and dread spreading over the ancient relic’s leathery old map. Was she looking at me? She seemed to be looking beyond me.
I turned, and suddenly shot up as though a spike had come through the bed and pierced my fleshy under parts. What I saw made my eyes pop. I reeled. Not one, not two, but three kids had been cowering in Sandra’s bed the whole time I was perched on the end of it in the darkness – listening in petrified silence to everything I had said about their mother.
And yes, after she had shooed them away, I still went through with it. But at dawn, as I was sneaking out of the premises, I was caught in the act by an early-rising four-year-old on the lookout for someone to fix his X-box. After obliging (a reluctant cable needed stuffing back in), I resumed my doorward march, all too aware that the little man was now sticking to me like a shadow. Reaching the exit, I turned and we stared at each other in dumb silence for a time, until finally he said ‘are you coming back?’
It was the single most heart-rending thing I had ever experienced outside of an appeal by the RSPCA and I don’t mind admitting it stirred the deeps in me, jerking my better self to the surface and leading to a complete revision of my stupid policy and immature attitude to life.
Yes, I thought, warming to the topic as I strolled away from this house of horrors, I would rise on the stepping-stones of my old, dead self and become a better, greater, nobler version of me. I would ditch the lad in me. I would become a man.
But then later that night I got drunk on gin and um bongo and smashed a cake shop window.

London Times obituary
***************************
'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentional but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant, and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility, his son, Reason. He is survived by his four stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, I'm A Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Yesterday evening, the platform at Stratford was particularly busy because some inconsiderate git had decided to off themselves at Bethnal Green at the peak of rush hour.
So, like the good Brit I am, I was queueing for the train. Over the 12 minutes it took a new train to come in, the space around me was slowly filled my more and more pinstriped suits and braying voices. It was, to say the least, heaving with people.
Now, heaving or not, I had been queueing, dammit, and I was getting on the next train first. The train pulled in, and a fellow with particularly wide pinstripes tried to shove his way in front of me. At this point, I grew massive elbows, and wormed my way on to the train.
Oh, how the people pushed, and oh, how the people shoved. Pin Stripe man, obviously angered about how he had to get on the train after me (can you imagine the indignity?), crushed his way on to the carriage - and, more importantly, started crushing me too. I let out a genuine "oh my god the air is being squeezed from my lungs and I fear I may die" kind of gasp. He questioned me:
"What's your farking problem?"
I replied, with the last air I had in my lungs, and at considerable volume:
"YOU'RE RAPING ME!"
He got off the train. And then, between Stratford and Wanstead, everybody was looking at me funny. So, b3ta, my question is this: when did you last falsely accuse a complete stranger?

Injustice, denial and blame.
I was pondering this week’s QOTW. A lot of the nice things people have done for each other are relatively small in the grand scheme of it (if you believe in such things). Which made me think. Feeling you haven’t so much beat the system but you have at least poked it in the eye can really make your day – little moments where you feel ever so slightly ahead of the game.
Missing trains fascinates me. If I’m on the train sitting waiting for it to trundle off and a group of commuters miss it, if it’s in a busy station there is a very visible and collective reaction of ‘awfirfucksake’ quickly followed by ‘fine, so it’s a ten minute wait, see if I care’. However a lone traveler at a quiet outlying station missing a train becomes a tragedy of epic proportions. Maybe its because there’s usually a much longer wait for the next train, or maybe if your on your own its suddenly ‘your train’ the only hope. One of my favorite Fast Show skits showed a family desperately battering along in holiday attire dragging bags and cases –nothing was ever explained, no resolution was offered, nor required. As much as I could identify with their plight I was also happy to mock.
Aside from the schadenfreude (oh come on – you could be the nicest person alive but there is a certain smug pleasure in sitting on the very train some sad tardy schmuck has just missed. It’s the same as seeing someone in a suit soaked by a lorry rampaging through a puddle).
I used to commute from a wee rural station in Lanark to Glasgow. I’m always late. Maybe not so much late but I tend to cut it finer and finer until finally the luck runs out. There’s another small pleasure – strolling onto a train just as the doors start beeping. “Fuck yeah I’m cool” Although to be honest it was more often a very undignified dash where only the victory steps were strolled. Adults shouldn’t run. Not unless there are trophies involved. Particularly if you are in any way overweight or out of shape or are carrying a bag. You just look like a tit.
Over time I noticed there are three basic types of missed train melodramas.
1. Injustice: “How could this happen?” (The doors are sealed and its pulling away) “Oh no it can’t be true – all is lost” coupled with a look of tragic bewilderment.
2. Denial: “NO! You utter bastard – you DEFINITELY saw me and deliberately left ahead of schedule.” Minor tantrum ensues on platform. Letters of complaint are drafted.
3. Blame: “Oh well fucking done! You knew what time you had to be here and you fucked it up. Can’t even get on a bloody train on time. Well fucking thank you”.
Which brings me to my point. One day I dashed up the escalators to the low level trains at Argyle Street in Glasgow – its it just me or is it odd you descend one escalator then have to go back up another escalator to get to the platform?
I heard the doors beeping as I got to the top of the stair. There was a throng of Denials and a few Blamers in front of me. The doors had started to close. The Injustice brigade had already started looking to each other for some sense to it all. A few had already begun tying yellow ribbons around the benches.
Not today I thought! I pushed through the fallen and bewildered and grabbed the closing doors. They didn’t stop closing.
Fuck.
Determined, I hopped onto the doorstep and for some reason began to Samson style heave the doors apart. Suddenly I was a superhero tearing open an impregnable vault – steel plate ripping apart like paper. The smug brigade on the train mere inches from my face looked at me through the door windows wryly.
“Daft fucker’s missed his train”
But then a marvelous thing – the doors gave up. Folded, or more so unfolded. As I casually stepped into the newly conquered carriage, the doors snapped shut behind, leaving the bewildered and the damned on the platform – excluded and bereft.
In true Glasgow style a bloke casually turned to me and said:
“So how do you get aff mate – through the roof?”
That day I was (slightly) ahead!

'A GAME OF STONES'. by Lord LycraMatt of I'gh-Tee. Chapter One
Mince Gaydar threw back his rugged head and laughed a gruff, manly laugh, and quaffed a hornful of mead. 'Hahahaharrrgh'. All the other Lordlings really respected him and he was always having sex - REAL LIFE sex with actual women, for free and everything. Mince knew that Laird Wan'qorr, Thring Larpling and the rest of his band of outgoing, popular heroic warriors who were in no way spotty, pathetic IT knobbers by the way ACTUALLY, would carouse deep into the night that night, for their mighty quest was at an end. He stretched out on his wolfskin, and looked around his castle with satisfaction. Yes, his lair, Castle Flatt'shayre, was indeed a mighty domain. He beckoned to a maiden (with MASSIVE TITS) - she meekly obeyed and came to him. They always did....

I Know I've Been Away For A While
But since when did QOTW turn into a trolls paradise?
Leading the charge seems to be the svelte and desirable Amorous Badger. He's set himself up as Judge and Jury on QOTW posts which he adds to his to his QOTW fail archive. He needs to do this. He needs to ridicule and belittle people he's never met to make up for the bastard trick that God's played on him.
'Cos he is a short-arsed weed. 5ft 7 and 8 stone, wringing wet. Poor bastard. No wonder he's bitter. He probably got beaten to shit when he was kid. Something made him this bitter and twisted..
Hiding behind a keyboard gibbering and flinging shit is the only fun he has, poor soul.
Judge not, lest ye be judged....
And I really should stop posting when I'm pissed....

Piss Pants
Thought about making this a QOTW post as it is sort of boredom at work related, but thought that wasn't quite playing the game.
With apologies for length etc, I give you another confessional.
In my days a stripling, while toiling away within the walls of the local C of E, I reckon I served under the banner pretty faithfully, my conduct and bearing being (on the whole) rather becoming of the better self. There was one notable occasion when I let the code slip however, and it remains particularly green in the memory.
It began one afternoon when I took a break from the customary playtime spazaround to take on water at the fountain in the boys’ toilets-cum-changing rooms, and found myself alone in there except for a forgotten pair of sports shorts hanging on a peg. Not a set-up that readily speaks of mischief I grant you, but it was enough to wake the sleeping fiend in me.
Unhooking these shorts, setting them afloat in the flowing urinal and pissing all over them for good measure was with me the work of a moment, and for a few seconds I was lost in a heady fog of my own naughtiness, face-a-glow and eyes-a-sparkle with impish delight. But these intoxicating mists soon cleared and I was left with a nasty feeling that what I’d done was perhaps a bit too French, and that unless prompt steps were taken through the proper channels, I’d be in the soup.
The only sensible thing I could think of was to find a teacher and start lying my head off, so this is exactly what I did, swiftly making a report of an ‘innocent discovery’ of the shorts-and-piss-trough outrage, and colouring the performance with a nice touch of moral indignation and offended sensibility.
The Headmaster took it big, and after narrowing the suspects down to the male half of my class (I forget how exactly), left us not uncertain of his displeasure, insisting through foam-flecked lips that we would stay in every break until someone owned up.
I decided to sit tight, especially as nobody suspected me, a fact that has never ceased to amaze. I mean it’s the old, old story isn’t it – he who smelt it dealt it and all that? But no, it seemed as though I was to be written out of this drama at the end of act one, which was fine with me. It meant the road to safety lay ahead – and if all they had to throw at me was a bit of silent detention – I was already tootling along it.
But nasty news was in the offing. The following day the Headmaster announced that we could forget Friday afternoon football if the culprit failed to come forward and I don’t mind admitting that this bulletin had much the same world-altering effect on me as an unexpected kick in the stomach from a seaside donkey. Believe me when I tell you I know. Things went black and sort of swam before me. Football, you see, was my thing, and I wouldn’t have missed it to please a dying relative. With an awful feeling of being caught in the machinery I now realised that I was the only person who could own up, and that if I didn’t, the ban would rumble on.
I didn’t much fancy revealing myself as the fiend in human shape whose hidden hand had caused all this break time captivity, and naturally recoiled from thoughts of all the askance looks and cold shoulders my fellow inmates would soon be hurling my way, but I had to put this out of mind. Now was the time to gird the loins, remember my fighting ancestors and let the preux chevalier in me prevail. It was time to confess.
It was nothing like I had imagined. No gnashing teeth. No frothing at the mouth. Not even a tapping foot or censorious finger waggle. And in place of the expected ‘shove him into a dungeon with dripping walls and see to it that he is well gnawed by rats’ was just a sotto ‘thank you’, so mild it even gave me the fortitude to ask if l could play football that afternoon (it was Friday by now). He said I could. Clouds parted, birds chirped, the sun shone and I revived like a watered flower, feeling never so strongly that God was in his heaven and all was right with the world.
Although I kept the details dark, I quickly ferried news about the lifting of the ban around the place, so was surprised that afternoon to find both changing room and pitch conspicuously empty of classmates (I wasn’t alone – there were three other classes that took football alongside mine). This left me a little mystified, but I’d had it straight from the Head that we could play, so just shrugged the shoulders and got on with it, scoring (if memory serves) a juicy hat trick into the bargain.
I would later discover that the absentees were still chained up in the classroom, copying out passages from the bible. The Head, wise to my enthusiasm for the beautiful game, didn’t buy a word of my confession and even thought it partially motivated by a desire to make a noble sacrifice in the interests of the greater good; subjecting his prisoners, so I heard, to some lengthy twitterings about how I was made of the right stuff and set a fine example each of them would do well to follow.
They had to pick litter up every break time for a term. I was made captain of the football team.
I think that’s what they call a result.

Thought about making this a QOTW post as it is sort of boredom at work related, but thought that wasn't quite playing the game.
With apologies for length etc, I give you another confessional.

Yay! Here's my story!
At last I'm home. I'm shaking and my hand hurts; it's not badly bitten, but I think the shock is making me feel worse. Mr Carter said he'd take me to the hospital but I didn't want to make a fuss. He looked more shaken that I was - little Max has never so much as growled at anyone before, he said. Bloody dogs. I run my hand under the tap and wash it with antiseptic. If it looks bad in the morning, I'll call in to see the doctor. I stare at my face in the mirror - I look so white, my features appear altered. I go to bed.
The next morning my hand seems OK, so I put a plaster over the bite and head straight to work. All things considered, I feel pretty good, but I get annoyed with the people in the office because the place is so noisy, much worse than normal. And there's a really strange smell in the air that no one else seems aware of. I complain to my boss, but she just looks at me oddly.
Two days later and the smell at work is no better; it's starting to affect me and I feel excitable. People keep asking me if I've done something with my hair - at lunchtime I look at myself in the mirror in the staff-room. I look different, but I can't determine why. I do, however, decide to book another electrolysis appointment with Marianne - it doesn't seem like I had one that long ago, but still! I look terrible.
At the end of the week, my boss calls me into her office and asks me if I'm OK. I assure her I'm fine, but I don't seem to be able to stop sniffing the air and I've developed a strange habit of turning around three times before I sit down. Maybe I've got OCD. She suggests I take a few days off, and I jump at the chance. I mean literally, I jump. I'm off that chair and out the door - I can go and play in the park!
The next morning, I'm alarmed to see that my hair problem has increased. There's a knock at the door and I don't want to answer, but the caller is very insistent. I open the door; it's Mr Carter, and when he sees me, he nods his head and says, 'I thought this might happen.' He turns to Max, who's sitting on the path behind him. 'I hope you're ashamed of yourself,' he says, and I swear Max shrugs. My phone is ringing, so I make my apologies and retreat inside.
It's my mum on the phone - she only lives down the road but she's always too busy to walk up to see me. 'Do you know Mr Carter?' I ask her. 'Oh him, yes,' she replies. 'Sad story really - he had a lovely family, but his son went missing and his wife died not knowing what happened to him. I often see him out with that dog; I don't think he has much else.' I ask her, 'Did they ever find the son?' Mum says she doesn't think so; we chat a bit more, but I decide not to mention my recent developments.
One week on and I can't deny that something very weird is happening to me. Mr Carter called by a couple of times, but I hid behind the curtains and scratched my ears. Next door's cat sends me into a frenzy of excitement and I feel terribly guilty every time I sit on the sofa. I'm sure it's stress-related, and I just need to take a few days resting at home. I tried to ring in sick, but my boss couldn't understand me. And as for my hair problem, who knows? I don't seem to be able to look into the mirror any more - it's like I've shrunk or something.
I feel very strange. I think I'll lie down on my blanket and wait for the feeling to pass.

The Stephen & Tiddles Adventures (for Pavlov)
Int. Hotel Corridor - North End. Night. Wide Shot.
A MYSTERY MAN in an overcoat, hat pulled down low enough to hide all of his face save his mouth and jaw presses himself to a wall. He seems to be peering behind himself, down the corridor, nervously. As he stands there a single drop of sweat tracks down his cheeks and drops onto his coat unnoticed. At the sound of an electric motor he looks around wildly.
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - South End. Night. Two Shot.
We're looking at the scene from the opposite end. Two wheelchairs, one normal sized, the other much smaller, a pair of fluffly ears just poking over the top of the backrest. A ginger tail drags limply behind. Framed between them we see our MYSTERY MAN at the other end of the corridor as he quickly takes off round the corner in panic.
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - South End. Night. Close up on STEPHEN HAWKING
STEPHEN starts blinking rapidly.
Stephen(computerised): "Quick Tiddles, the murderer went round that corner!"
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - South End. Night. Close up on TIDDLES
TIDDLES' head lolls towards STEPHEN. When it comes to a sudden halt, by hitting his own shoulder, a thin string of drool emerges from the cat's mouth and hangs there. TIDDLES lazily blinks once.
Tiddles(computerised): "Meow."
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - South End. Night. Two shot of STEPHEN and TIDDLES
STEPHEN blinks once. With conviction.
Stephen(computerised): "Let's ROCK!"
With a slightly higher pitched hum from the electric motors, both wheelchairs shudder as their tires spin impotently on the carpet for a moment, smoke pouring from them. Moments later they slowly shoot off towards the camera.
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - Corner. Night. Wide Shot.
Again we see the two wheelchairs from behind but from this angle, right in front of them is the start of a massive staircase which, as we watch, we see the MYSTERY MAN bound up the final two to disappear from our shot.
Stephen(computerised): Wank!
CUT TO:
Int. Hotel Corridor - Corner. Night. Two Shot - Front of STEPHEN and TIDDLES.
STEPHEN blinks rapidly, his pupils darting around like Neo's hands when he fights in The Matrix (and not at the start where he's all shite but near the end when he's like a god and stuff).
Stephen(computerised): "It's time."
With a little more blinking an audible CLICK is heard. A panel on the armrest of STEPHEN's wheelchair opens and a tiny ball of light slowly rises upwards to head height. As we watch undulating streamers of light spread from the ball. A whooshing noise begins, quiet at first but slowly louder. TIDDLES' fur ruffles and STEPHEN's immaculate hair is blown by an unseen wind towards the ball.
Stephen(computerised - His speaker turned up a bit to hear over whoosh effect): "IT'S WORKING!"
Scraps of paper and dust fly from all angles of the HOTEL CORRIDOR and are sucked in the growing ball of light. As the whooshing noise reaches deafening levels the images of STEPHEN and TIDDLES bend towards the ball.
With a thunderclap crescendo the MIDSHOT flashes brilliant white then instantly CUT TO black as everything is pulled into the supernova.
BLACK/SILENCE. Seconds pass. Just when it seems that everything has been reduced to the size of an atom and destroyed:
TIDDLES(computerised - voice over): "Meow?"
Captions - "The End?"
__________________________________________________________________
EDIT: Hands up who thinks I need to get out more. Anyway, only started this post so I had an excuse to post this; check out the new sig. Sorry if anyone's gazzed me recently and I haven't had time to reply yet. Things are a bit hectic and I've got to go away for a while (I might stick my head round the corner if there's a really excellent question tho, natch). Take care y'all. See you soon. I hope.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with this mod lurking all the time, ready to instaban on the off chance that shambles pops up with a new account.
I don't mind so much if it's peej, but I wish he'd post a bit as well - he's the best one here y'know.
Anyway, stop it whoever you are, it's boring and we have too few posters as it is.

Those moments when you realise someone thinks you're a cunt.
So I have just had a visit from someone who owed me money and he said he would call when he was outside. Not a friend just an acquaintance who buys gear off me occasionally. Well I heard him coming in his badboy car so walked out to meet him as I got to his car my phone started ringing. I tapped on his window and could clearly see on his phone display 'calling TURD'
When have you realised someone thinks you're a cunt?

Hello. Here's a load of old shit for you. For those who don't know me, I'm old.
I get the piss ripped over on /talk but I don't really mind. Being old has its advantages. I work in the music business and have done for over 35 years. I was there in the 60's and 70's and saw the birth of rock music, and spent my youth enjoying copious quantities of free love and no fear of AIDS.
I grew up in the film industry, my grandfather and uncle worked for Pathe News and I used to go to shoots with them in the hols. I've met The Beatles, been inside Lennon's house, I was at the launch of the first Moog synthesizer, played in some good bands and still do. I also met loads of film stars, rock stars and even had breakfast with Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Whight festival. I have a helicopter pilots licence and have started flying again after a brief period and I'm engaged to a model.
I now work from home running a recording studio and am on the committee of a growing rock festival which is held in the same village where I live. I work with a friend who does HD video recording to broadcast standard and we run a mobile tv/audio studio and we have some nice jobs come in for next year at a few top festivals.
I get as much good sex as I want and I drive a fast car. Work is steady despite the recession and I'm landscaping my huge garden with ponds, waterfalls and rare trees and there is enough room to put up a big marquee in November for a fucking b3ta bash.
I also started doing the odd spot of stand up comedy a few years back and have begun doing a few clubs and venues around this region. My set has been described as extremely rude, downright disgusting, in incredible bad taste but funny. That's just fine by me. I mean, I can't knock it, it is pretty strong.
I'm in good health and go running every day. I don't drink alcohol or smoke fags and have finished several marathons and loads of half marathons in the past. I'm training for a channel swim in June/July next year and am aiming to smash the record for someone over 50.
I occasionally work at a lap dance bar which is owned by a friend's brother as a floor security guard. I also have to escort the girls in and out of the changing rooms and if it's busy I help behind the bar with two topless girls.
My house is situated, unusually on a hill in the Cambridgeshire Fens right next to woods and a nature reserve and the farmer's field opposite has huge markets and boot sales in the Summer but only every few weeks. I have my own private road and have just extended the car park to hold another 6 cars.
By now you lot must be pissing yourselves as it looks like some of the unhealthily huge vats of bullshit that appear here.
Old? Fuck off.

I also met loads of film stars, rock stars and even had breakfast with Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Whight festival. I have a helicopter pilots licence and have started flying again after a brief period and I'm engaged to a model.
I now work from home running a recording studio and am on the committee of a growing rock festival which is held in the same village where I live. I work with a friend who does HD video recording to broadcast standard and we run a mobile tv/audio studio and we have some nice jobs come in for next year at a few top festivals.
I get as much good sex as I want and I drive a fast car. Work is steady despite the recession and I'm landscaping my huge garden with ponds, waterfalls and rare trees and there is enough room to put up a big marquee in November for a fucking b3ta bash.
I also started doing the odd spot of stand up comedy a few years back and have begun doing a few clubs and venues around this region. My set has been described as extremely rude, downright disgusting, in incredible bad taste but funny. That's just fine by me. I mean, I can't knock it, it is pretty strong.
I'm in good health and go running every day. I don't drink alcohol or smoke fags and have finished several marathons and loads of half marathons in the past. I'm training for a channel swim in June/July next year and am aiming to smash the record for someone over 50.
I occasionally work at a lap dance bar which is owned by a friend's brother as a floor security guard. I also have to escort the girls in and out of the changing rooms and if it's busy I help behind the bar with two topless girls.
My house is situated, unusually on a hill in the Cambridgeshire Fens right next to woods and a nature reserve and the farmer's field opposite has huge markets and boot sales in the Summer but only every few weeks. I have my own private road and have just extended the car park to hold another 6 cars.
By now you lot must be pissing yourselves as it looks like some of the unhealthily huge vats of bullshit that appear here.
Old? Fuck off.

Jumper - an OT post by DiT, aged 28 and three quarters.
Sometimes it seems that I could fill a book with all of the downright idiotic things that I experience on the Tube. If it wasn’t bad enough that I have to spend an hour and a half of each day pressed in to intimate contact with London’s Dark Underbelly, I must also witness the kind of relentless twattery that would make Darwin himself slap the Health and Safety Inspectorate with ‘Origin of the Species’ and yell “Survial of the fittest! Survial! Of! The! Fittest!”
I guess what I’m trying to say is that the London Transport network is a shining example of why natural selection should be positively encouraged when it comes to some elements of the Human Race. But the real bastards, the ones who actually make my blood boil, are the Jumpers. This particular genus of the human species is identified thusly:
1) He (it is most certainly a he) has a ridiculous, floppy haircut, and his name is Rufus Smythe Smythe Smythe Smythe Ponsunbury Featherstone Green.
2) Even though he is has a cut glass English accent, he will claim, at every given opportunity, to be Scottish, giving him the unenviable achievement of being hated by both the Scots and the English all at the same time.
3) He works in ‘The Cidee’. Not London, not even the City.
4) He is an employee of one of the big four banks.
5) He wears a pin stripe suit, and a red power tie. He very likely supports UKIP, but actually votes Conservative because Daddy has for the last 50 years.
But I should come to my point. The Jumper will, when hearing the warning beeps of a Tube door about to close, leap with all of the grace and poise of a Salmon through the snapping jaws of the bear that are the Tube doors. He will push and shove and hold the doors open until he emerges victorious from this most primal of battles. In doing so, he will save himself one minute, and cause yet another group of people to hate him.
But this very morning, my friends, I saw something that made my heart soar. I was descending the steps towards the Northern Line at Bank station when I heard, in the distance, the beeping that signalled I had missed a train. Suddenly, from behind me, a Jumper sprang forth, his floppy hair resplendent in the Tube wind.
“You’ll never make it.” I thought, and watched as he sped away.
As I emerged on to the platform, a wondrous sight beheld my eyes. The Jumper had made it as far as the last door of the train, yet his angle of approach must have been off, as he had not made the leap. Instead, he had thrust forward his laptop bag at the exact moment the doors closed – and it had stuck. He was pulling and straining, yanking and swearing, and yet still the bag would not come free. For some reason, the doors would not open again, and still he heaved. He actually put one foot against the train and gave an almighty wrench, which was accompanied by a terrible ripping noise. A forest of paperwork tumbled from the bag, spilling down the side of the train and on the the tracks below. The driver, with a suitable sense of timing and how these things should be done, opened the doors. Rufus, or whatever his name was, stared dejectedly as the doors closed again, and took a step backwards as the train whipped up wind, paperwork and his hair, and I swear I saw tears forming in the corners of his perfectly moisturised face.
It’s not often you see justice done so comprehensively. What was the last thing you saw that made you think that justice had been fully and righteously served?
Oh, and check out my sig...

An Open Letter To JMG
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. I'll bet
you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk,
a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf,meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I puke at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusion ally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would
have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living
emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb.
You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted flapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are
trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid.
Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on.
This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of your of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful.
I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success.
True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space.I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
Cheers

fri night
i was really excited about the counting crows concert. met my friend evie at westminster, all glammed up in our "rock chick" look - tight black jeans, lashings of black eyeliner and very high heeled black boots.
i had the tickets in my bag. show started at 7pm. we arrived at the 02 at about 6.55, feet already hurting in the stupid spiky stiletto boots. evie's tight jeans were already giving her what she attractively described to the entire tube station as "nappy rash".
the security guard looked at the ticket. then he looked at me. i looked at him. he looked as if he were trying not to piss himself. so i looked at the ticket. then it hit me straight between the heavily mascara'd eyes... the ticket clearly said WEMBLEY. all over it. in huge black capital letters. those fricking tickets had been pinned on the noticeboard in front of my face since september. evie thought i was a total fucktard. i think she may be right.
for anyone who might not know london, if the 02 is twenty past, wembley is ten to. they couldn't be much further apart. we had to "run" back to the tube and travel all the way over to wembley. in jeans that didn't want to let us sit down and shoes that were insisting we did, sparkly black makeup streaked everywhere with rain and sweat.
finally we got off at wembley at about 8.15pm. shit, shit, were we missing it? we ran limpingly down to the stadium. nobody there, but the concert was at the arena, after all. turned right. staggered over to the arena.
hmmmmmmm. looks a bit quiet, doesn't it?
bastards had only gone and cancelled it, rescheduled for MAY 2009. i bought our tickets on ebay, so it seems that the seller didn't feel this was information that needed to be passed onto me. i would really really like to cunt him in the feck.
i bet i win the "shit night" award for 2008, any other contenders?

Hey! It's my b3ta birthday!
I'm not certain what should be done in an occasion like this, so I'll tell you the story of how you've affected my life.
I love reading. Since I learnt how to do it, I've read whatever was close enough to my eyes. When I was a kid I rather go for a book than to the playground. My father would punish me without reading. I've read all kind of books, from very good ones to real crap; and it doesn't matter how bad the book is: I must finish it.
As you can probably imagine, until a couple of years ago all my reading was in Spanish (I'm crap with languages - sorry if there are a grammar/spelling mistakes). When I read a book from a non-Spanish writer I was never certain if the way it was written depended more on the writer or the translator. It became more difficult to tell when I discovered Science Fiction. You see, I love Asimov stories, he's great, but the way the story was written was appalling; was it Asimov's fault or a poor translation. The same happened with Philip K. Dick. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is one of the best Sci-Fi stories ever, but the telling was so poor...
Well, the years passed and I moved to England, and when my English had started to improve I thought it would be a good time to start reading in English. First, easy things (Harry Potter, I had read it in Spanish too, I was in the 4th book and it takes 6 months to get it translated from English). Then I got better and tried more difficult things. I've read the Ring World; Stranger in a Strange Land; Century Rain... I wouldn't say it was easy, but I could understand. I needed the dictionary a lot at the beginning, but now I almost don't use it.
Then, a year ago, I tried A Scanner Darkly. I had to give up. I couldn't understand a single word. Well, no, I understood them, but they didn't make sense in the context. I tried very hard, but no way.
A few months ago a friend came home and saw the book. He asked for it and I lent it saying "it's crap; it's written so badly it doesn't make any sense"
A couple of months after that, he gave it back saying: "This is a very good book. OK, it's K. Dick poor writing, but it's fantastic"
So I tried again. And, to my surprise, I understood it. Maybe a few words were still difficult, but they made sense. And yes, the story is great.
That got me thinking: why I couldn't understand it before and now I can? What has happened during this year?
The answer: B3ta.
Thanks to you I know that a chick or a bird means girl too. Junk is drug. Skint is without money... so many words I knew the "Oxford" meaning, but not the "street" meaning.
So, this is for you B3tans:
THANKS FOR TEACHING ME PROPER ENGLISH!!!

Caption Thingy
Spent waaaay too long making this site but it's nearly done. The technical bits work (at least in Firefox. IE shits a brick trying to handle png files).
Basically, it's a caption site where you can load your own images and add speech bubbles to them. Should be ready for people to play with in about 24 hours or so. Have to add some CSS to make it look presentable, fix the IE bugs with PNGs, add more types of speech and thought bubbles and add a gallery.
I also need to add in the Flickr API so people can save their images to Flickr.
But here's one I made earlier..
Cheers

Following an accident with a Remington beard trimmer, the experience having been so good but lacking the requisite liquidity to buy the company, I contented myself merely to shave my hair off.
Ze German (baz’s special ladyfriend) had been charged with a task she had successfully completed once before, namely shaving my hair to a sensible, presentable but above all, low maintenance length.
All was going swimmingly until the shaver appeared to stick. It dragged at my hair and caused some discomfort. Ze German thought the blade had gone blunt. I doubted this and taking it from her, took it apart and advised her to go clean the detachable parts.
Off she toddled with the two disconnected parts; the plastic attachment for keeping a wee bit of hair on my head and the cutting blade which attaches to the spinning doo-hickey in the main shaft which makes the cutting happen (a technically sound explanation if ever there was one).
I, meanwhile, applied my technical know-how to blowing bits of hair out of the main shaft of the device with short, sharp blows.
All appeared in order once Ze German returned and I put the parts back together again. Only that’s not quite what happened.
Ze German set about her task with her customary ruthless efficiency and painlessly gouged a 2-inch wide, 7-inch long furrow into the hair above my left temple. Ze German screamed, stood back and placed her hand over her mouth.
“What? What’s the matter?”, I said. “What are you screaming at, you loon?”
“Oh bazmorningstar”, she said. “You didn’t attach the plastic yoke.”
I had been sitting shirtless in the garden on a plastic chair on a day which rained intermittently in torrents twixt periods of glorious sunshine. It was a typical Irish summers day and in my haste to get the job over and done with, lest another shower should scupper the enterprise, I handed her the shaft with the blade attached but not the plastic attachment for leaving a bit of hair on my head.
Seeing my reflection only in the kitchen window, I laughed. I could only laugh. It wasn’t her fault. Her Teutonic fastidiousness has been somewhat decreased after eight years of living in tweedly-deedly-another-pint-of-Guinness-please-landlord land and she genuinely failed to see the missing part.
It was my fault for hurrying her and for not paying attention to the parts in my hand. The part was still in my hand. I immediately accepted my fate.
One of two coupes-de-cheveux presented themselves; The Dalai Lama or the Balding Punk. I had spent years in my twenties sporting the Hare Krishna look, convinced as I was that I was balding significantly ( I wasn’t – it grew back thicker after having been shaved weekly for about two years), so I decided the Playboy stripe was the way to go.
“Sweetie”, I said. “There is nothing for it only to persevere.”
Chuckling, she set about her task of shearing me like a soon-to-butchered-sheep entered as a last minute reprieve into a ghastly ovine ‘Crufts’.
So, “Mohawk?” you say. “Doesn’t it lend you an air of menace?”
“Don’t old ladies and children avoid you in the street?”
“Aren’t your colleagues shocked and appalled at your unprofessional appearance?”
“Has John Q. Law given you a knowing glance?”
“Shopkeepers coming round the counter to keep an eye on you?”
“Bouncers giving you the heave-ho without even an explanatory word?”
Not a bit of it. I’m Irish. I look Irish; all pale skin, rosy cheeks and freckles galore.
On top of it, I wear glasses, the blue-tinted half-framed rectangular type. I have a double chin, a pot belly and short, squat legs.
In short, I look like a mental patient on day release.

Pushed Too Far
Well, I'm working on the previous story I posted, trying to make it longer, so I thought I'd post another short story for the semi-competition.
Now, this was the product of a twelve hour shift, far too much caffiene and not enough sleep. It just kind of poured out - I have no idea where it came from.
Well, here it is:
***********************************************
"That's it, they've went too far. Far too far. They're going to have to pay, Amadeus. Fire me will, they? I'll show them..."
"Meow?"
"What's that? Why did they fire me?"
"Meow?"
"Well, my feline friend, they said I was freaking people out! Me! Freaking people out? Laughable. They're pushed me too far, Amadeus."
"Meow"
"I knew you would understand, Amadeus. You always know what I'm thinking. It's like we have...a mental connection. Yeah, we have a mental connection. I wonder why I never noticed it before. Hey, Amadeus, what am I thinking just now?"
"Meow?"
"Yes, I was thinking of a steamboat! That's amazing! Okay, let's see if it works both ways...I sense you're thinking...of how a TV show wouldn't have blind viewers? Only blind listeners?"
"Meow"
"That's amazing! We can hear each other's thoughts! But I'm afraid I can't be distracted, Amadeus. I'm on a mission."
"Mreoew?"
"It's my old boss, Mister Peterson. The one who fired me. I went into town and bought some...provisions. I've got something here, in this brown paper bag, that Mister Peterson is dying to meet. He's going to get it, Amadeus, and it ain't gonna be pretty.
"Meow"
"I knew you'd say that Amadeus, and in many ways, you're right. But I need to do this, I can't let him get away with it."
"Mrour"
"I will. And Amadeus, if I...don't come back...I want you to feel free to see other people."
"Meow"
"Goodbye Amadeus"

BRRRRRRMM, VRRRRRRRRRRRMMMM

"Well, seeing as Amadeus is back in the house, I guess I should talk to you, my invisible friend. I never caught your name, by the way."
...
"Really? Jake? You don't look like a Jake...anyway Jake, the reason we're driving this fast is because I have to catch my old boss as he's leaving the office, take him by surprise. Heh, he won't know what hit him."
...
"Well, I don't need to watch the road, Jake, you can do it for me. Just yell if I'm about to hit something. So, anyways..."
THUMP
"What the hell? Jake! I told you to yell if you saw anything! Now I just hit that old lady back there, and it's all your fault. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?"
...
"I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you, I guess I should've been just watching the road. But you could've at least warned me! Jeeze..."
...
"Hey, Jake, you ever notice how most people spend most of their lives doing things they don't care about? How most people hated their jobs?"
...
"Well, I think that's crazy. Those people are crazy, Jake. Not like me and you. I loved my job, and I bet you do too. Hey, what do you do for a living?"
...
"Yeah? You sing to fish? I hear there's some good career prospects in the whole fish-singing business. You've good your head screwed on tight, Jake. Good man."
...
"What, my job? I loved it, Jake, I loved it. I loved getting dressed up, putting on the baggy pants, the red nose, the facepaint. Entertaining the kids. Juggling, magic, balloon animals - I was the best, Jake. The best! And they fired me. Well, HE fired me. Mister Peterson. The man I'm going to see. And, boy, do I have a surprise for him."
...
"He thinks he's invincible. He thinks no-one can touch him. Well, he's wrong. Dead wrong."
...
"I can't make any promises, Jake. It might...get ugly"
"Wait a minute, there he is! Shit, he's leaving the office. Here goes..."

How is this a scary story, you may ask? Well, it allows you a view into what exactly my mind was thinking at the time. And that's a scary thought indeed.
I haven't counted the words - I'm far too tired, and I've got another twelve hour shift to look forward to tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.

Tales of the unexplained - in 500 words
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. How the hell did it happen? When? Why? What did I do?
Oh don’t give me that “It’s not you, it’s me” shit - who the hell was it then? There was only you and me, and if it was you, why the hell couldn’t you talk to me about it?
What do you mean you mean I never listen? I don’t understand.
Of course I noticed there was something wrong. I’m not fucking blind am I? I know you’ve been a bit down lately, OK very down for a while, OK for quite a while, but I thought it was just life, you know? Money, the kids, your job. My job.
Well no, now you fucking mention it, I’ve not been happy for ages if you must know.
Why didn’t I mention it? Well what exactly would you have done?
Oh right, so now you want to talk do you. Well forget about me for a minute, try talking about you. Who is he?
Oh you have got to be joking! You’re not serious? Well, fuck me. You’re a joke, a fucking sick joke. I don’t want to talk to you any more. Just go and pack your stuff and get the hell out of my house.
Oh yes you are. I’m not having you here for another night; I can’t bear to look at you.
Oh no. The kids are staying here. I’m not having you upsetting them any more than necessary. If you want to do this, then fuck right off and go to him, he’s welcome to you.
No, I won’t be quiet. I’ve been quiet too long, you can shut up.
I’m going to get a drink. I want you to go upstairs and pack your things right this minute and if you wake the kids then I’ll tell them exactly what’s happening and why: their Mum’s fucking off with some tosser from work because she’s an old slapper that doesn’t give a shit about them or what happens to them from now on as long as she gets a good shagging once in a while.
That’s right. Off you go.
---------------------
The bitch! I just can’t believe it. I don’t understand. I thought things were getting better, she seemed more cheerful - now I know why, the bitch! “No, I’m too tired tonight” too tired my fucking arse. I can’t believe I’ve been so thick, but then I’ve been so frigging busy.
I do not need this right now. I could really fucking do without this right now. The cow!
I was going to get in early tomorrow - 7.30 start, really get on top of the material before the presentation…now what the fuck am I going to do? If I call Mum first thing maybe she could come over, no, better still, I’ll get them up early and drive them over to her’s.
Fuck, where’s that new bottle.
If she’d only explain, maybe I could understand.
------------------------------------
Have a good weekend folks, and please leave your comments under the mat. I'll pick them up on Monday.

Late entry for the "accidental innuendo"...
I needed cat litter, among other groceries. So I wrote an abbreviated shopping list on the back of my hand.
Thus is was that I wandered around sporting the word "c.lit". And it took me ages to locate, too.
Oh, well.

Today’s upset forecast:
A warm front of upset is sweeping in from the Baggenfock sea bringing heavy downpours of bloo-bloo and a consistent and irritating wind on which can be heard the cries of children. This will continue all day and into the weekend, so grab those upset umbrellas.
In the South East there were dramatic scenes last night as an upset tornado touched down in Kilburn bringing with it scatological gay porn, Patron, wanking and domestic violence. Headhunters are currently on the scene assessing the damage, early reports suggest that they doubt any employment will be forthcoming. Conditions will remain unsettled as another upset depression sweeps in from the continent ruining any £100k weddings planned for the weekend

Girth Ironblade cast a grizzled eye over the castle parapet, and looked out across the Forest of V’irgynns.
His weather-beaten, tough face told of hard years fighting mighty battles with fire-breathing dragons, and squiring buxom wenches ALL THE TIME. Not made-up ones, REAL ONES. The suggestion that he was, in fact, a speccy dickhead with Asperger’s was laughable. Laughable. As he leant on his oaken spear, his cloak billowed around him in an epic, really cool way. He oozed dignity from every pore and no one ever mocked him or bullied him ever. No way. He was shaken from his reverie by an elven beauty with MASSIVE JUGS. ‘Take me, my lord’, she pleaded….
‘MATT? MATT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? YOUR TEA’S READY!’

The suggestion that he was, in fact, a speccy dickhead with Asperger’s was laughable. Laughable. As he leant on his oaken spear, his cloak billowed around him in an epic, really cool way. He oozed dignity from every pore and no one ever mocked him or bullied him ever. No way. He was shaken from his reverie by an elven beauty with MASSIVE JUGS. ‘Take me, my lord’, she pleaded….
‘MATT? MATT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? YOUR TEA’S READY!’

FUCK YEAH, DEEP FAT FRYER.
Totally got a deep fat fryer for b'day/x-mass. I'm going to do _soo_ much expermenting over the month, including....
- The Everlasting Desert - Ball of creme cheese, battered, deep fried, covered in nutella, battered, deep fried, covered in peanut butter, battered and deep fried, covered in....etc etc etc until I get a ball of golden crspy fried goodness.
- Battered'n'deep-fried confectionary bars, oh yes.

- Tempora & Katsu, battered and deep fried veg/meat.
- Aromantic Duck, oh yeah' baby.
- Crisps and nachos, oh man.
oh man, such delights, naturally it would have to be a treat rather than regular or my size shall double, but I can finally easerly have _real_ chips. It will replace something I do weeklyish; get a fattening take away, rather than suppliment it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A collective project.
There are quite a few people who blog on here, about all sorts of different things. Politics, Food, Video Games, general life stuff, technology... all sorts of stuff.
I was wondering if anyone would like to do a big shared blog? I'll set the whole thing up on WordPress, anyone who's involved will be able to write what they want, some people might even write conflicting things which might be interesting.
Gaz me up if you're interested, you can post once in a blue moon or every day, whatever you fancy really. Can you please Popular Page this in case someone is interested who isn't around at the moment.
What do you reckon?

It's a copy'n'paste from /Talk because I love you both equaly
Ooooo Gonz, you CAD.
This month I was short on cash, so I thought "Fuck it, i'll cancel LA Fitness subscription". This month they've sent me really abrupt text messages, and today I phoned them up, and they told me that if I don't pay them today, it's going to a debt collection agency, so I paid them. I then told them that I want to cancil, and she got all shitty with me, didn't try to sweet talk me. "Just so you know, I'm recording this, and will make it public record*"
However, I've just rembered, I have a whole month and 12 day passes, so I'm going to give them to George, my local big issue man, so he can rest his over-worked feet in their new "WOW £419,000 REFIT", and I'm going to keep it in my pocket and give the tickets to all the lovely homeless people I come across every few days, so they can relax in a jacouzi/steam-room/swimming pool.
* At the time, I was thinking of fuckin up shitcunts social network stuff.

Amusing yourself at work
I support bank computer systems. Big UNIX ones. One of those computer systems has the acronym 'PIRATE', although I can't remember what it means.
So there's the exposition. I received an alert earlier today telling me that the filesystem '/var' had filled up. Turned out to be some user log files, or something. To let the owner of the files know about this, I sent this message:
"Please delete some of your old log files from PIRATE's /vaaaaaarrrrrrrr filesystem :-)"
He replied, quite sternly with:
"Done. btw I've just noticed that PIRATE has not been updated to the latest patch release. Patch releases 'A' through to 'H' have been applied, but I think we're currently on 'I'
Please apply an 'I' patch to PIRATE as soon as possible."
In a truly bizarre twist, he was correct too. I am literally applying an 'I' patch to PIRATE right now. I have no idea if his brilliant (and relevant) riposte was accidental due to a total lack of acknowledgment of the original japery.

When I was at school
There was a boy who I shouldn't name called Paul Bentley
He was bullied lots.
One day before the teacher had arrived in classroom, a naughty child had drawn this on the whiteboard
All very entertaining I'm sure you'll agree.
The naughty child then shouted out
'Bentley, Bentley! Draw the pubes! Draw the pubes!'
Bentley was reluctant, he thought the teacher would walk in just as he started to draw.
Eventually he was cajoled into stepping up to the whiteboard, marker in hand.
'Draw the pubes! Draw the pubes!' chanted the class.
What Bentley drew relegated him to the world of the bullied forever. When he stepped away from the board this is what we saw.

The cold embraces me,
My hair floats before my eyes,

As I read upon the card,
"Michael Barrymore: Life Guard"

At the Karate Bank 500 employees have been given the chop.

As there has been a good deal of 'erotic' writing posted
I thought I'd stick some of my own in....
This isn't as hardcore as others have been and it's not as graphic as the erotica I posted some time ago....
Instead it's a bit of Literary Erotica ... well, I'd like to think it is...but I'm inclined to think it's just pretentious tosh...however, it is part of a novel I've written which is still sitting in its virtual drawer as a first draft. Maybe one day I'll get it out, redraft it and send it around to publishers to be rejected properly.
For now, all you lovely people can read it...

Instead it's a bit of Literary Erotica ... well, I'd like to think it is...but I'm inclined to think it's just pretentious tosh...however, it is part of a novel I've written which is still sitting in its virtual drawer as a first draft. Maybe one day I'll get it out, redraft it and send it around to publishers to be rejected properly.
For now, all you lovely people can read it...

Story reply thingy
While knocking back the prosecco the other evening my friend challenged me to write a story called "Cooking by the light of the fridge". I think maybe she expected something more comic or, indeed, more interesting, but I'm not in a humourous mood much these days and am rarely interesting, so have this instead. It's a 20-minute, first draft effort so, well, meh.

I've just submitted this to an online short story place
They don't have a bar to stories that have appeared elsewhere so long as you hold the copywrite. Added to which it'll take up to FIVE MONTHS for them to decide whether or not to take it.
So as I'm too lazy today to write something new - I've got various ideas knocking around my head at the moment and something may come up soon - have this to read instead.
As seems to be the current habit, it's in the reply.

Interview with a Psychic
First of all, I'd like to offer up a prayer of thanks to the Gods of B3ta - this off topic board is the greatest idea this website has ever had.
Che's writing challenge - a 500 word short story based on the week's QOTW - is a brilliant idea. I thought I'd take up the gauntlet.
Here's my story:
********************************************
I have something to tell you. You probably won't believe me - no-one ever does, but I had to tell someone.
I have a terrible affliction. Some people may call it a 'gift,' but I think of it as a disease. It has made my life unimaginably worse off - it's a curse, a millstone I have to wear around my neck every single day.
I can hear people's thoughts. I'm psychic. See, I knew you wouldn't believe me. Alright then, think of a number. 7. Think of a colour. Blue. Think of your happiest childhood memory. It was when you were 6, and you got that puppy you had always wanted.
I've told you how I know - I'm psychic. I wish I wasn't, but I am.
What do you mean, that would be amazing? Do you really want to hear the thoughts of everyone around you? Every single person? Hear what they're planning to have for dinner, the petty things that annoy them, all their fears and insecurities? You can't turn it off. You hear every thought that runs through their minds. Sometimes, when I'm walking through a large crowd, I don't even know which thoughts are mine.
Can you imagine it - knowing exactly what everyone thinks of you? Knowing if they're lying when they say you look nice? Knowing when they're only laughing at your jokes out of politeness? Knowing when they think you look rough, or ugly? Knowing when they're being fake, or dishonest, or only pretending to be interested in you? Do you have any idea how selfish most people are? How boring they are?
I have to constantly fight against temptation to use my 'powers' to do wrong. Some days, it seems like it would be easier to just give in, and become a criminal. I could walk into a bank and overhear someone's bank details, how much is in their account, their PIN codes and passwords. I know when someone's going away on holiday, where they live and whether they have a dog or a burglar alarm. It would be the easiest thing in the world to become a professional thief, housebreaker or conman. If I was ever caught, I would know exactly what evidence the police had on me, and what to say to get away with it. I can't do it, however - it would go against everything I stand for. I couldn't live with myself. So I don't give in to the dark thoughts. I struggle with them every single day, but I don't give in.
It's hard - some days, I think it would be easier just to end it all, take a gun and blow all the thoughts out of my head forever. And then I wonder if those are really my thoughts, or those of a passing stranger who is suicidal. It's getting harder and harder to tell...
********************************************
It's 486 words long. I wrote it in half an hour in one continous sitting, so it's probably a bit rough, but I posted it in the hopes of getting some feedback. Feel free to be brutally honest.

William's Ship Seizes Drugs Haul
Prince William's warship, HMS Iron Duke, has seized cocaine valued at £40m, in the West Indies, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The prince is spending five weeks on board the frigate as it patrols the North Atlantic.
Sources at Kensington Palace say that Prince Harry is "inconsolably disappointed".

Nothing new on the popular page ALL DAY
I now pronounce this the "well genius comedy" thread. Go forth and be fucking funny. Or, more effectively, start clicking things at random, or click something that raises half a smirk rather than a fully-fledged LOL.
Alt: 24 hours to live, access to an inexhaustible supply of funds and a teleporter. What would you do? Please note - teleporter, not time machine, so using the funds to cure whatever's killing you then going forward in time to obtain said cure is not on the cards. I'd go on a killing spree, wiping out everyone who's ever offended me in some way in alphabetical order, capturing each murder on camera and posting it on Twitter, thereby making myself the greatest avant-garde artist of the digital media age, or something, look I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I had a pretty good idea when I got started but it's got away from me somewhat. The question stands though. Also In the spirit of the main thread I think this is sufficient effort for a click. Factor in my compulsive neediness and you've got a compelling argument.

Dear mods.
Please stop stepping/banning funny posters. Ultimately your site suffers a great deal more as a result - in the end you run a very real risk of having nothing but Wilf-style positive threads and I am certain I speak for everyone except 'The Resident Loon' when I say we don't want that.
I am prepared to take a week's stepping myself in exchange for the revoking of AW's ban so that there can be at least some humour on here in amongst the fucking crisp reviews (yeah thanks Jeff).

Ignore code change
We've fiddled with the ignore code on B3ta so that it works both ways. If you ignore a person they can't see your posts, as well as you can't see theirs.
This means - in theory - if you have someone you find persistently annoying (say they post horrid things on your answers to the QOTW) then ignore them once, and they'll stop seeing your posts so they can't post and ruin your stories.
If you can test this amongst yourselves and report back to this thread that would be really helpful.

Today Is A Good Day
17 years ago, Mrs Legless started at university with the dream of becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon.
Today, we attended a hotel where Mrs Legless was handed a white envelope. She gave it to me ('cos I'd had a dream) and I opened it. It said:
"I'm please to inform you that you have been successful at the Fellowship Examination in Orthopaedic Surgery."
17 years, 2 degrees, a few years of hospital residency, 5 years specialist training in Orthopaedics and she's finally made it. She's now a consultant..
I'm so proud of her I could shit fireworks.
Cheers

‘Odd’s bodkins’ muttered Claypole to himself as he slipped panther-like from his jester’s outfit.
He had the horn and he had it bad. He knew that if his ‘mini Claypole’ wasn’t gratified – and fast – his taut, RADA-trained scrotum was going to overheat like a Fukushima fuel rod. Only these love-conkers were far from spent. Despite his earlier haunting of those Perkins cunts next door (after which his ‘ectoplasm’ left them with faces like plasterer’s radios), Timothy was straining like a kind of camp, bearded racehorse…and with a glossy, oiled cock to match.
He was going to take that Ethel Meaker right up the ‘Starlight Express’, he thought to himself as he roller-skated into her bedroom. He didn’t care if he still had some AIDS on his helmet from last night when Nadia Popov had more than lived up to her name – the time was now, and his sense of urgency was palpable. He glided noiselessly across the bedroom floor, leaned over the sleeping Meaker, whispered ‘gadzooks’ in her ear and patted her on the fanny.

Oh fuck what have I done?
This morning, I was using one of my Twitter accounts and it led to some banter with a couple of people about Chris Moyles following all the press coverage about him not getting paid. As a joke I set up a donation page in his name: www.justgiving.com/Christopher-Moyles with any donations going to charity.
It has started to go viral on Twitter and I am not sure what to do! 3 donations have been made so far, it is getting retweeted alot and I have just had a media enquiry.
I have found details of Moyles's agent online and emailed them to let them know.
What else should I do? I wasn't expecting this level of reaction!
EDIT: it has now made the Guardian: www.guardian.co.uk/media/mediamonkeyblog/2010/sep/23/chris-moyles-radio-1
SECOND EDIT: Someone (unrelated to all this) has done a Chris Moyles charity record to raise money for him: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySSreHakHFE

And now, a prayer.
Our Bertie, who turdspurts upon b3ta,
Hollow be thy ring;
Thy chickens came to roost;
Thy threads faintly peturb,
In truth as in your fantasies.
Please us in that thou might fuck right off.
And with your aimless insults,
Know that, smiling, we shun your tears.
Tempt us not into retaliation,
But allow us our scorn.
For yours is the dull,
The autisms, and the threadwoe,
Until you delete them.
Arsehole.

I'm sad that I missed out on that there London shenanigans
so tell me everything that happened and tell me something about each of the b3tans that you met In Real Life that will shock and amaze me.
Or tell me what you had for breakfast and how it could have been better. I haven't had anything but I'm in the mood for french toast so now anything I have will be a culinary disappointment.

NSFW The long-awaited (by some) sequel to Hitlercock NSFW
By request from CHCB, I give you, Bert Reynolds:
NSFW Stiffy and the Bandit (minus the Bandit) NSFW
Also by request from an anonymous B3tan (not sure whether they wanted their identity to be known), I am proud to present, Logan:
NSFW Wolverine NSFW
...and yes, I do find it as disturbing as you do.
EDIT and if you're looking at Stiffy, wondering why he seems to be red on top, but covered in blue splotches on the bottom, it could be down to my compulsive masturbation combined with hepatitis B, or it could be because I tried, and failed, to draw jeans and a red shirt on my cock.

Finally, it's finished.
I still need to get a 3/8" thick piece of glass for the top for a load bearing surface, but here's the result:
I tried installing lights under it, but I didn't like the effect- you can see through the glass too easily, so the lights showed too clearly. I debated putting a piece of white plexiglass like you see in a light table under it to diffuse the light, but it was starting to get too complex at that point.
So instead I put a piece of foil backed styrofoam under it. The foil was not smooth but had a bit of texture to it, which I kinda liked as it made it look more like water.
Detailed pics are here:

A career-threatening hangover...
Having had too much to drink last night, my hangover has just effectively removed any chances of promotion by disabling my brain-mouth sense-checker.
Having a sushi lunch with my boss in Camden, I started by describing the starter he was having as looking "a bit scrotal. Yep, it's definitely ballbagesque".
He skimmed over this faux pas by talking up the healthiness of Japanese food. When I cast doubt on his theory, he made the mistake of asking me to name "one Japanese thing that's unhealthy".
"Ermm... bukkake?"
So, how have you managed to single-handedly ruin your own career, hungover or not?

Its not me
So I get email for this actor guy, because we have similar email addresses. He is being chased for payment for some heating repair work (in summer??) but they keep mailing me. I told them I'm me, not him, I keep forwarding his mail to him, no one ever replies to me, no one ever listens. So now I'm being threatened with court action blah blah.
So I changed the display name on my email to his name, and replied.
"Dear Sir
Ref: Your email dated June 30th 2009 regarding non payment for account xyz.
Screw you. I am a busy man. I do not appreciate being harrassed in this manner. How do you expect to me perform in Hamlet, alongside David Tennant and Patrick Stewart when I am constantly worring about my heating repair bills? This is unacceptable. I don't believe that Dr Who OR Captain Picard ever had to deal with pilot lights or valves and stuff.
I demand that you cease chasing me - so rudely - for payment. I am a an actor in case you didnt know and these piddly little distractions that you muggles seem so endlessly pre-occupied with are not helping. Not one bit. Stop it. Stop it now.
Yours
Thomas. (Actor).
PS. I've just decided I will not pay you now. Never ever. I've had enough. You can have all your stuff back.

Fucking Hippy Drippy Woman
Periodically, because I'm such a grumpy and intolerant bastard at work I get sent on courses about dealing with stress and 'Me and my emotions' and other such shit and I have another one tomorrow.
The person who runs it is this ridiculously shrill woman who asks us about our experience and when faced with our usual wall of outright apathy reels off into breathless tales of her bloke and her kid.
The last one we had, "Well, my greatest achievement since I've worked here was giving birth to my son." Sorry love, I disagree, presuming the pregnancy goes well, the birth is a biological inevitability. If you managed to hold the little fucker in, that would be a fucking achievement.

A story from work
Not mine, but I've heard similar.
OK so this is a true story. We really got this call to my Hospital.
A guys call up and is in a panic. He is literally in hysterics on the phone and we can not understand what he is saying at all at first.
So once he calms down a little this is what he starts to tell us-
"OK so I was in the shower and I was "playing" with my dog (the dog was a Pit Bull). And now he is stuck!"
And the Tech on the line was like what do you mean stuck?
And he goes on to say-
"You know-stuck! He is stuck to my back! What do I do?!"
So the Tech puts the guy on hold and comes to the back where myself and the other techs and the Vet were. She explains what the guy on hold told her. We are all thinking the same thing, but no one wants to say it out loud. So finally the Vet says to her-"OK does he mean that he is naked and the dog has stuck his penis up the guy's asshole and the dog is now erect?"
The tech says to her, that is what I would take it to be. So the Vet gets on the phone. They guy is still there. The first thing that she asks they guy before anything else was-" OK before we goi any further, is this a joke?"
To which the guy replied "NO!"
And between what both the Vet and the Tech that answered the phone said was that unless this guy was an Academy Award winning Actor, he was for real and this was no joke.
So basically the long and the short of the story was that this guy and his Pit Bull were "playing" in the shower (you can draw your own conclusions there, I don't think you need to figure out how the dog's penis got aroused right?) and the dog had humped the guy in the back and was not stuck in the guy's asshole. What was causing the dog to "Stick" to the owner was the "mating tie" that had gone off and was now in the guy.
Totally totally gross.
So the Vet tells the guy on the phone all of this and the guy screams to know that is what is blowing up in his ass, and why he is in so much pain. Basically it was like he had a softball up his ass and it was pulling at his ass crack. The guy asks the Vet how long this will last, when will they get unstuck. And the Vet tells him that it can take up to an hour.
She starts to say to the guy-"When the dog is done-"
Then the guy chimes in with this question-"What do you mean "done"? What do you mean "done"? Do you mean he is gonna blow a load in me!!!!???"
So the Vet had to answer honestly and say yes. GROSS!!!!!!!!!
So after the guy finishes screaming in fear and disgust (which did take a little bit) the Vet said to him-"You may want to go to the Doctor when he is finished (he cried again when she said finished too). You might have some injury there after that."
They guy was not too receptive to that idea at all. He said to her"What do I tell them happened?". The Vet told him that was not her problem, but that he should seek medical attention. She told them that there could be serious bodily injury there. She then asked for his number so she could call back and see how he and the dog were doing. He would not give it to us because he said he was a client at our hospital and didn't want us to figure out who he was by his number. And he said he didn't want us to report him. That's really why we asked for the number, we were going to call animal control on him.
Needless to say he never called back and everyone guy who came in with a Pit Bull ever since we really had to look at and listen to see if we can remember the voice.
LOL
Again weirdest call ever......and it's totally true and sadly was no joke....
Just nasty.....but funny
Can you picture this naked dude with a Put Bull attached to his back hoping around his apartment trying to get from the bathroom to the phone to call us? That must have been a sight to see!

Did you know
Neil Armstrong wasn't actually the first man on the moon as he wasn't actually a man. A team of scientists working deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest developed a strange fungus that grew into a perfect man shape. Nasa sensing that a fungus probably wouldn't want paying took advantage of this free labour and sent it to the moon.
There are now thousands of mini Neil Armstrongs running about on the moon as a result of the fungus sporing quite heavily whilst it was there.

A team of scientists working deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest developed a strange fungus that grew into a perfect man shape. Nasa sensing that a fungus probably wouldn't want paying took advantage of this free labour and sent it to the moon.
There are now thousands of mini Neil Armstrongs running about on the moon as a result of the fungus sporing quite heavily whilst it was there.

someone must
have a paralysed friend and access to a Slendertone muscletoner. If so, then please make them dance about and film it for Youtube.
My mate has a good midi control unit for the light rig in his band. I suggested he connect it up to a Slendertone's control box, attach the pads to a paraplegic guy and have them lurch about during a gig a bit like a zombie Bez.
Against their will.

I have a confession
In maths yesterday - I got so bored that I played Tetris.
On graph paper.
For two hours.
And then swore and scrunched it up when I realised I wouldn't win.

A funny thing happened tonight
I was walking past the fridge and could have sworn I heard the onions singing Bee Gees songs.
On opening the door, I discovered that it was just the chives talking...

Predictive Text
I have managed to never buy a mobile phone in my life. Admittedly I'm only 23, and avoided getting one until I was 17, but they've always been hand-me-downs. (The first being forced upon me when my sister decided hers wasn't sufficiently fashionably, and my mother insisted that I'd find it useful, despite not having anybody to call.)
Now, with my current phone, its settings meant that it was easier to work out how to use predictive text than to switch it off. And in the end, I have found that it speeds things up quite a lot.
However, given this phone had originally been owned by my friend's sister, then passed on to him, and then finally on to me, I was most surprised that I had to teach it the word "Fucking."
Since then, I've had to teach it various other, shall we say, more creative expletives, including
Dickwobbler
Arsebiscuits
Cockdonkey
Badgerflaps
Cuntybollocks
Arsetrumpetry
What interesting or unusual words have you had to teach your phone? And will you also teach them to your children?

So anyway
Someone has mailed me, no idea who she is, she thinks I'm someone else. I got this:
Hey D
How's the weather?
Here I am in the library, writing an e-mail.Coming home, hurdling back
10.5 hours felt a lot like time travel. The first day of Hampshire classes, the
campus closed because of snow (strangely, it was the only campus to close).
There's ice on the ground and piles and heaps and stretches of snow.
I am meeting with DK tomorrow. Do you have a message for him?
My older brother is going to be in V for a few days beginning Feb. 5th.
He graduated from N this past year and has been traveling in
Nepal/India since mid November. I am going to give him your e-mail and maybe if
you are missing Americans you two can chat on a ghat.
I think being back would be easier if the goats on the farm had more
sweaters...perhaps I'll go sweater them some night?
Enjoy the weather,
M

Kid lols

QOTW FAQ - First draft
Hello /questions boarders!
This is the first draft of an FAQ for the QOTW compiled by No3L and me from various grunts and gripes on this board over the last few weeks.
What do you think. Is it too wordy? Not wordy enough? Anything missing? Too patronising? Not patronising enough? Not enough swearing?
Comments please:
EDIT: Moved into replies, so it complies with its own etiquette guidelines :-)

Don't try this at home!
Last night I had a splendid evening getting slowly twatted in one of Sheffield's less salubrious establishments. Many pints of Mulled ale, Rockin' Robin & many other pints of beers which names presently escape me.
I pottered off home and after a nip of scotch to keep out the cold, admitted that sobriety was no longer my bedfellow and hit the hay. I awoke to the feeling that something was seriously wrong and then suffered that sinking feeling ............ I realised that I was stood in the corner of our bedroom, cock in hand and was pissing all over the plugged in stereo which was faithfully playing the World Service.
I had even lifed the lid to expose the CD player (possibly thinking it was the bog seat) and my missus slept soundly through the whole sorry affair.

I'm not normally this sappy
Those of you that read my post on "The nicest thing anyone's done for me" some weeks ago will know some of the back story to this.
As it's coming towards Xmas, the stress on my G/F's daughter from her father is increasing exponentially. For legal reasons, I can't explain why she won't be going to any functions with his new partner, but he's still doing lots of emotional blackmail for her to do so. For weeks, every time she's come off the 'phone to her father, she's distraught. It breaks my heart but all I can do is comfort her and try to explain that none of it is her fault without belittling or blaming her father. Don't get me wrong, I encourage her to see her father (as often as he can be arsed) as I'm a divorced dad myself. I don't want her to lose touch but the circumstances are difficult. Its not easy but the happiness of this little girl means a lot to me.
Last night, very shyly and with a few false starts, she gave me an envelope. Inside she'd written this.
"Life has its ups and downs
But you're always there to take away my frown
Whenever I need a great big hug
You're always there to wrap me snug as a bug
You wipe away my tears
And take away my fears
So I'm glad to call you my Dad
When I'm with you I'm never sad".
Thanks Emily, best Xmas present ever.

I wish this had happened ...
in time for the cringe QOTW.
My mother slipped in the shower and fractured her L4 vertebra. Two weeks out from Christmas.
The inconsiderate cow.
Anyway, I have recently spent many frantic hours in our nearest A&E trying to amuse two little girls, aged 5 and 2, for fuck knows how long.
They were well entertained by an impromptu blow-up latex glove puppet show for a bit, much to the amusement of my fellow waiting room internees.
Now this particular hospital happens to be the war veterans hospital. So the moment all parents dread was just around the corner.
You know the one. The moment when an amputee comes within the range of your child's curious gaze. My first born child reacted with bemused but silent interest in the elderly (WW2?) veteran who sat close-by. He had lost his left arm just below the elbow.
The nurse called us in to talk about my Mum.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Just as we were mustering ourselves, 5yo politely asks the elderly amputee "Excuse me, but what happened to your arm?"
CRINGE!!!
He gave this beetroot faced poster a wry grin and beckoned 5yo girl closer. He then said in a low voice.
"I was picking my nose."
The look of utter horror on my wee one's face was just magic.
I then had to talk to a nurse about my mother's need for back surgery whilst trying not to wee myself from suppressed giggles.

The Tooth Fairy
The other morning son #2 got up and as I nagged him to get dressed as he'd be late for school (again) he told me to hang on.
"I've got to check if I've got a pound under my pillow!"
I ignored this and carried on applying the three inches of slap to my face to enable me to face the world and not look like a Terrahawk.
He returned to his bedroom and rummaged about.
He does this a lot.
Generally it involves making stuff and causing mayhem with his twin brother.
Finally I followed him in to nag again about getting dressed.
"Oh no! She didn't take it!"
"Get dressed."
"But I haven't got my pound!"
"Get dressed. You'll be late for school."
"But I haven't got my pound!"
"...."
"Look"
He shows me a large plastic tooth (god alone knows where he found it) which he had secreted under his pillow.
"The Tooth Fairy didn't take it and give me a pound"
I left the room quickly stifling my snorts of derision and laughter.
Bless him.
He'll be eleven in four weeks time.

The Great Halloween Username Heist of '08...
On Halloween the world was fun
With ‘tricks’ and ‘treats’ dealt by the ton
I thought I’d join in with the game…
And some cunt stole my username
It’s sad how some twats get their kicks
By turning into thieving dicks
Cos of my name I was quite fond
It’s ok to be called ‘gay pond’
It seems I’m not the only one
To find their B3taname has gone
So if I must, I’ll look real hard
But give it back, you cack spacktard!
Or now perhaps I’ll take this chance
On one of my poetic rants
And change the name of which I’m famed
To one of which I’m less ashamed
So…
Have fun with ‘Pooflake’ if you dare
And keep the name ‘cos I don’t care
It’s just a word as you will see…
You’ll NEVER be the REAL me…

My friend's just had a baby girl. I went into the hospital to see them, and she asked me if I'd like to wind her.
I thought that would be a little bit harsh. So I gave her a dead leg instead.

The sex misconceptions QoTW reminded me of this,,,
An old friend from school added me on facebook the other day... I happened to mention it while I was talking to my mum a couple of days after that.
The conversation went like this:
"Guess who added me on facebook the other day?"
"I don't know"
"[name changed to protect the innocent]"
"Oh! His mum was the first person your dad ever shagged!"
Haha, I so didn't need to know that =)

Investment Advice
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95. With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50. £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, BUT if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £21.40
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

My exciting night
Don't read this if you've got anything better to do.
[Selected highlights]
Or the tale of Kaol, his two friends and "why does this kind of stuff happen to me all the time?"
Last night I headed into fair London Town to go to a gig, accompanied by my trusty comrades Jom and Timmy (names altered for legal reasons).
We got to central London on the tube from Epping and went to get some food before picking up our tickets, at which point we got a call saying the gig was cancelled.
"Fear not," said I to my handsome entourage, "We're in London, the City of Dreams, surely there must be fine distractions for young men such as ourselves."
~~~~~Fast-forward four hours~~~~~
Timmy is "The most drunk he's ever been TM", Jom is also fairly drunk, and I'm not too bad. We're standing in Tottenham Court Road, eating waffles from a street vendor.
~~~~~Fast-forward four more hours~~~~~
We're slumped outside a rock club, Timmy looking a fine shade of zombie-grey. The half-price cocktail pitchers were a bad idea, especially the Long Island Iced Teas.
Just because something is half price, it doesn't mean you should drink twice as many.
Timmy mutters something about it being a "bad waffle" and I lead him to a dark, leafy flower bed to be sick.
~~~~~Fast-forward one hour~~~~~
Jom has decided it's a great idea to walk to Hyde Park and sleep there.
It wasn't.
We got as far as Green Park, Timmy having been sick about ten more times.
We meet a wonderful Watchman of the Night, Mr. Insane Tramp.
He started a five-minute rant at us that began with:
"I'm Jesus. In fact I'm fucking God.
I'm your worst fucking nightmare.
I'm the kind of person they warn you about at school.
I'll fuck you up if you look at me wrong.
I'm Hitler and Ghandi."
That kind of thing.
When he'd finished I offered him some chewing gum, and with a "Thanks mate" he wandered off into the night.
~~~~~Fast-forward one hour~~~~~
Jom and Timmy are both throwing up now, moaning about the waffles. I'm a bit worried, as I had one too.
We're now wandering around Knightsbridge, thanks to Jom's wonderful sense of direction.
It was at this point I decided to grab 20 minutes of sleep behind a statue of "Borridge", near the French Embassy, before being moved on by the police.
~~~~~Fast-Forward four hours~~~~~
After hours of wandering, and a few minor adventures we got on the Tube, having to get off every few stops for Timmy to throw up. He'd been sick about 50 times by this point, and I was a little worried.
An hour later I was home and in bed.
If your made it to the end, congratualations, but maybe you should get out a little more...
On second thoughts, you're safer staying at home.

Or the tale of Kaol, his two friends and "why does this kind of stuff happen to me all the time?"
Last night I headed into fair London Town to go to a gig, accompanied by my trusty comrades Jom and Timmy (names altered for legal reasons).
We got to central London on the tube from Epping and went to get some food before picking up our tickets, at which point we got a call saying the gig was cancelled.
"Fear not," said I to my handsome entourage, "We're in London, the City of Dreams, surely there must be fine distractions for young men such as ourselves."
~~~~~Fast-forward four hours~~~~~
Timmy is "The most drunk he's ever been TM", Jom is also fairly drunk, and I'm not too bad. We're standing in Tottenham Court Road, eating waffles from a street vendor.
~~~~~Fast-forward four more hours~~~~~
We're slumped outside a rock club, Timmy looking a fine shade of zombie-grey. The half-price cocktail pitchers were a bad idea, especially the Long Island Iced Teas.
Just because something is half price, it doesn't mean you should drink twice as many.
Timmy mutters something about it being a "bad waffle" and I lead him to a dark, leafy flower bed to be sick.
~~~~~Fast-forward one hour~~~~~
Jom has decided it's a great idea to walk to Hyde Park and sleep there.
It wasn't.
We got as far as Green Park, Timmy having been sick about ten more times.
We meet a wonderful Watchman of the Night, Mr. Insane Tramp.
He started a five-minute rant at us that began with:
"I'm Jesus. In fact I'm fucking God.
I'm your worst fucking nightmare.
I'm the kind of person they warn you about at school.
I'll fuck you up if you look at me wrong.
I'm Hitler and Ghandi."
That kind of thing.
When he'd finished I offered him some chewing gum, and with a "Thanks mate" he wandered off into the night.
~~~~~Fast-forward one hour~~~~~
Jom and Timmy are both throwing up now, moaning about the waffles. I'm a bit worried, as I had one too.
We're now wandering around Knightsbridge, thanks to Jom's wonderful sense of direction.
It was at this point I decided to grab 20 minutes of sleep behind a statue of "Borridge", near the French Embassy, before being moved on by the police.
~~~~~Fast-Forward four hours~~~~~
After hours of wandering, and a few minor adventures we got on the Tube, having to get off every few stops for Timmy to throw up. He'd been sick about 50 times by this point, and I was a little worried.
An hour later I was home and in bed.
If your made it to the end, congratualations, but maybe you should get out a little more...
On second thoughts, you're safer staying at home.

Tips not tits...
Shamelessly ripped off from an email I got ages ago, but the Ipod battery chat reminded me about the extra battery stash on your phone, enjoy!
4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
Also in Australia, the Australian emergency number 000 can be dialled whilst your mobile phone keyboard is locked. This is another reason why 000 receives so many false emergency calls!
SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone!:
star-hash-zero-six-hash
* # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

Che mentioned, in a reply to a previous post, the idea of replacing common cliches with more B3ta-friendly ones
This has been playing on my mind, and I've came up with a few
"It's always darkest before dawn" should be replaced with "It's always darkest when your head's up your ass"
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" leads to "You can lead a supermodel to a fridge, but you can't make her eat"
"It's like teaching your Granny to suck eggs" should become "It's like teaching your Granny to hate black people" (although that may just be my Gran)
"The devil makes work for idle hands" sounds better as "If you've got nothing to do, play with yourself"
"A needle in a haystack" could become "Sensible advice on /talk"
Anyone got any others?

Following Che's post below
During the time I worked in a JobCentre, and back in the days where jobs were placed on bits of card and then stuck up on the display boards, we had had a confectionary company place a vacancy with us:
Wanted: Fudge Packers. Experience preferred, but full training will be given.
Nobody spotted this for days...

B3ta - reflecting world religions?
We’ve got an Anglican church that is split between liberal minded folks open to the idea of gay vicars and female bishops, and the ultra-right wing bigots that are still stuck in the middle ages and wondering why church attendance is dropping off. You’ve got the Jewish faith which is split into so many different denominations of Jew that it’s hard to keep track, and they don’t mix. Catholics and Protestants, two faiths separated by a common God… etcetera. Whatever the denomination, their religious beliefs are right and everyone with a differing viewpoint will burn in hell.
And on B3ta we’ve got a number of forums, including /talk, and /board, and /QOTW… featuring members who have all (presumably) been attracted to B3ta by a love of creative and non-PC humour, whether written or graphic, but who are mostly comfortable in their own particular sphere.
I suppose what I’m saying is accept the fact that there are probably thousands of people that use B3ta and you’re not going to agree with all of them. But have enough respect to realise that people are free to post what they like, within certain parameters. Don’t hurl abuse at someone just because they have a different viewpoint to you. You don’t like that QOTW has become quite an interactive forum? Fine, don’t join in. Post something if you have something to contribute, otherwise leave them to their own devices. /Talk a bit quickfire and too full of abuse for your tastes? Leave it, it ain’t worth it. Can’t use photoshop? Not a problem, just look at the image challenge stuff. Find your niche, have a venture into other boards – if you don’t like what you see, you don’t have to go back.
But suggesting the removal of an entire board just because you perceive it to be of absolutely no relevance to you anymore? That’s just childish.
B3ta. It’s the new religion, I tells ya.

shit!
not literally, but shit, how embarrassing... going to a bbq tonight, so i said i'd make some salads. the friends who'd come here first to travel together were annoying my pasta/potato/rice boiling (i use the term "salad" very loosely. shameless carbs with vegetables and different flavoured cheeses and mayonnaises would be much more apt) system, so i packed them off to the pub and put the radio on.
oooh, portishead, not heard that for years. turn it up. sing along. aha, handy cucumber, makes a perfect microphone. sing along. bit louder, noone's home, turn it up again. sing along.
sway slowly whilst chopping, then turn around with a flourish - only to find two of the girls had come back for something. to see me. covered in mayonnaise and feta cheese, warbling to a cucumber that it had to "give me a reeeeeasoon to beeeee a woman....."
now they won't stop laughing at me. i think they may be hinting i was planning to do something unsavoury with it, other than chop it up and put it in the salad. how gross.
obviously that was what the courgette was for!
but seriously, everyone sings when they cook, don't they??

Oh well!
If K2K6 is brave enough to have a go then here is mine.
Nothing to do with this weeks qotw but it does have the word fear in it several times.
It's a lot longer than 500 words but I couldn't think where to cut it.

My Biggest Disappointment - in 500 words
“Hey buddy, how’s it goin’?”
“What? Oh, hi Tom, yeah, OK I suppose.”
“You suppose! Well sounds to me like you need a beer, am I right or am I right?”
“No, a beer is NOT what I need right now, but, I suppose it’ll have to do.”
“Great! I know a great bar not far from here, jump in.”
* * * * *
They pulled up at a bar on Sunset Boulevard, where a young white man opened the door of the car with a smile and taking the keys from Tom, opened the door of the bar and wished them a ‘great time’.
The music was almost too loud and as it sounded like something from ‘Hotel California’, Hugh’s mood didn’t lift. He looked around, the place was still fairly empty - Tom told him to find a seat and headed for the bar.
“What the fuck am I doing here?” Hugh wondered, “I hate this bloke and this bar looks like ‘the pits’.” but then he thought of his hotel suite and forced a smile as Tom neared the table with a jug of beer, a couple of glasses and what looked like a couple of shot glasses too.
“Right! Here ya go buddy, sorry it’s not warm!” Tom poured two frothing glasses, clinked his against Hugh’s and downed half the contents in two deep swallows. Hugh took a sip, it was surprisingly good actually, he took a proper swallow and put his glass down.
“OK, bud, now down this and tell me all about it.” Tom handed him the shot glass, waited until Hugh was ready, then winked and threw it into his mouth. “There you go.”
Hugh knew it was probably the wrong thing to do as he was tipping the glass into his mouth, but the little devil sitting on his left shoulder scooted round to the back of his head, yanked back on his thick hair and suddenly, the shot was in his stomach and making friends with the beer - who seemed to be the only other occupant. The little angel on the right shoulder was trying to whisper in his ear that he’d skipped lunch, remember? and maybe he should take it easy? ‘Fuck you!’ the little devil said, appearing from behind his neck, ‘let’s have some fun’.
“So, what’s the problem?” Tom said. He re-filled the beer glasses, then sat back in his seat. Hugh leaned in and rested his elbows on the table.
“What can I say?" he shrugged, spread his hands wide and pulled a sheepish, adorable grin, "Everything's fucking perfect. I'm rich, famous, good looking, talented, and I have a girlfriend that most men would cut off their right arm for the chance to sleep with her. What could possibly be wrong?"
"Errr, she doesn’t give head?”
“Close, but no cigar, as Bill Clinton might say. She tries, but she’s really shit, all teeth and no technique.”
“Hmmm, I may be able to help you there…”

cooked dinner
for 4 tonight. v healthy, low-fat veggie curry, quite tasty but ultimately bulky as full of about 8,000,000 different vegetables. and chickpeas. round, roll-y little chickpeas.
however, there were actually only 2 of us to eat it. so lots of leftovers.
tried to put the massive full plate of curry in the fridge. i have a beautiful retro pink smeg fab to go in my sleek dark grey, glass table and stripped wooden floored kitchen. oh and some lovely pale pink plates.
yeah. not any more. somehow i did the spakkerdance just putting the plate on the shelf. there are pieces of plate and fucking chickpeas EVERYWHERE. the fridge looks as if a giant chucked up in it. it's running down the freezer door. it's all over my formerly shiny floor.
and... worst of all... (she says as she was so distressed and flappy that her flatmate got out of bed to clean it all up) i BROKE MY BEAUTIFUL PLATE. i am a complete and utter wankpot.
has anyone else done anything this stupid today??

It's been interesting reading
what other people have done with their lives, degree or not.
FWIW
Film and media studies with video production BA Hons. Where has it got me?
Two years at the BBC in the news editing department, then two years at Blockbuster video head office, wine buyer for M&S and slacker at Lush cosmetics. Now a trainee veterinary nurse earning roughly about the same as I did before I started my degree but with huge career prospects and I look forward to going into work each day.

Geoff Capes scaled the walls of the £756,000 Sussex mansion with all the stealth of a gekko on a Mallorcan shower wall
As luck would have it the window was open. He dropped in and slipped out of his dungerees and let the cool air caress his distinguished greying beard.
The house was quiet. He looked into one room and saw the sleeping Peter Andre - without the wig and wax on his face he was rather beautiful. But Capes wasn't into arses. Not today.
He heard a noise coming from the bathroom. He ran along the landing, his giant budgie swinging in the air like Saddam on Youtube. He looked into the bathroom and saw a mad little f**ker, big as a barrel and blind as a bat leaping up and down in some boiling water.
"Capes!" said a voice behind him. "Stop looking at my son with your budgie out".
Capes slowly turned around and saw Katie Price in front of him - wearing nothing but a Juicy Couture camisole and the slightest glistening of her ample clunge.
As ever Capes' budgie became harder than the Guardian cryptic and proceeded to bang her tits off as Harvey ate a bag of Prawn Cocktail crisps from the floor that Capes had brought just in case.
Before Capes left he wiped his now dying budgie on Harvey's afro, bent down to the prone Jordan, who lay liked a painter's radio in the moonlight, and whispered "Awooga" in her ear and patted her on the fanny.

As luck would have it the window was open. He dropped in and slipped out of his dungerees and let the cool air caress his distinguished greying beard.
The house was quiet. He looked into one room and saw the sleeping Peter Andre - without the wig and wax on his face he was rather beautiful. But Capes wasn't into arses. Not today.
He heard a noise coming from the bathroom. He ran along the landing, his giant budgie swinging in the air like Saddam on Youtube. He looked into the bathroom and saw a mad little f**ker, big as a barrel and blind as a bat leaping up and down in some boiling water.
"Capes!" said a voice behind him. "Stop looking at my son with your budgie out".

Alright you cunts?
I'm really, really not.
After GJ's thread last night I've been thinking about my favourite record sleeves and it's been cheering me up a bit, now I'm wondering about what might be the worst one in my collection. I have a 'Best of the Yardbirds' one which is fucking toss, it's a painting of some birds. In a yard. Equally poor is Little Feat's 'Dixie Chicken' which is just an embarrassment. Whoever signed that off is a prick.

Would anyone like to sign this nice petition?
epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48628
Apparently if it gets 100,000 petitions then the MOJ's proposals regarding Legal Aid may be debated in the commons. This is a good thing becuase until now they have not, and the proposals can be brought into force without this happening.
I should point out that the proposals have received universal condemnation from the Legal Profession, and a large number of other groups (charities, judges etc.) who don't have any financial interest in the outcome.
I am happy to discuss the proposals in more detail if people would like. You can read what I think about them here:

Lokesy grunted like a mentally retarded Sasquatch, and ran his gargantuan palm over his bread-like forehead in puzzlement.
As he did so, vast flakes of greasy skin cascaded to the ground like an avalanche of stale baguettes, the impact from which caused a minor tsunami to ripple across Asia. As his flid-like brain struggled to compute even the most basic of notions, his pork-suitcase tongue flopped out of the corner of his blubbery-lipped mouth, sending a torrent of sputum which flooded half of Warwickshire.
He knew something wasn’t right with the thread he started but his lumbering, Deacon-like brain was not up to the task of identifying what it was. His tortured, saggy anus let rip a rasping, sopping wet shit-filled guff that pebbledashed the inside of his greying Asda pants for the third time that morning.
Suddenly the Bisto-like clarity of his miniscule, simian mind parted, and realisation dawned: he hadn’t even asked a fucking question. Lokesy, you prick, he thought to himself, you truly are worse than Nakers.

Are you? If so, do you do so as a technique to get what you want (as my ghastly prole of a boss does) or do you lose control and can't help it?
There was a hilarious dunce on the tube last night who was being absolutely destroyed at full volume by his girlfriend. We heard it all, including how his mum wouldn't post bail for him and how he was going straight to 'Scrubs' for 18 months, out in nine but he wasn' bothered. She countered this by saying he was a 'dick' who needed to 'man up' and suggested prison might help with this. It was v LOL.

Much as I love 'rebranding stories', that moribund thread had to be put out of its not inconsiderable misery.
It's the weekend, gaylords. What are you up to? It's supposed to be jolly pleasant weather in London so I'll be taking advantage of that, hopefully.
Alt: TOPICAL DISCUSSION. Minimum booze prices - surely this will do fuck all to curb our three thousand year old Northern European drinking culture? Are these people fucking stupid?
Alt alt: Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No people below us, above it's only sky. Now imagine me, bollock deep in your highly-appreciative dad's anus. He loves it - YOU love it. Your whole family are fucking revolting deviants. I hate you.

Shitty private schools
My missus works at a private school where it cost something like £15,000 per year for a child to attend.
Last week the colour copier in the infants was disabled by management because "they are making too many colour copies". This is shitty because the little kids don't use textbooks so the teachers need to make them handouts etc. and when you're learning about the basics (see Spot's ball - the ball is red!), then colour really helps.
The thing I don't get is that the management is basically saying that they're spending too much money on their pupil's education, which is kind of the point of a school. If I was a hard-nosed businessman it makes perfect sense: there are too few schools compared to the number of applicants they get each year so they can abuse their position as much as they like.
As far as I can tell, the parents know nothing.
Is it like this in other private schools? And how best to get a message out to the parents anonymously?
Alt Q: I'm reading the "Red Mars" series right now and loving it, what else would I like?
EDIT: This isn't the first time they've implemented some new rule which makes teaching the kids harder and just makes them more money.

Good morning.
I went to see The Jim Jones Revue last night (it was, of course, fucking superb). I turned to Lusty and one point and remarked 'what a showman' as Jones took to the speaker stacks. Unfortunately this was clearly not adequately conveyed because she turned to me in horror and said 'WHAT? You want to shag him?'. Err, no thanks.
I thought it was funny, anyway. The weekend is nearly upon us - what are you doing? I have my meeting with ex re overnight visits and my mother's 60th on Sunday, which I am expecting to be either cancelled or completely pointless, but we shall see...

I've just heard that one of the boys I know from Uni has just started an 'Atheism society'
Being somewhat older than the typical student, at 24, I don't share his belief that it's "a bold statement against an institutionalized, archaic belief system" - I just think it's a bit wanky and pretentious. Besides, what are they going to discuss? "There's no God" "Yep, pretty much" "I agree" "Right then...has anyone brought biscuits?" Am I wrong to think so - is it a worthwhile statement to be making?

I can't be bothered reading through the previous threads
Escpecially Foxtrots which seems especially gay.
Today I spent about 15 minutes wondering if the sentence "We have put your order on a euro pallet" should have read "an euro pallet" which follows gramatical rules but sounds worse than saying less people care about the fewer/less debate every day.
Monty I await your imput as you are the only person I can vaguely stand ranting about this kind of thing.
So if you're not Monty, and the chances are high, you can either do your best Monty impression (or anyone else for that matter, go nuts) or you can play the game "who cares" where you say something and we see if anyone cares

Do I really want to sort this out ? DILEMMA.
About 6 months ago I was in my local, which I use most days, talking the usual shite. My (very vain) mate Tim (who I thought was a mate) and I were talking about what we had done that day - he is a house husband and I run a very difficult business. (think EU bollocks preventing me from earning any money) So after he'd taken the piss out of the fact I have a cleaner every week and built upon that as to how lazy I was, I then asked him what he had done that day. Response was that he'd done some washing cleaning and ironing, "something that was beyond me" (i.e taking the piss) and that he'd been to the dentist. I immediately said to him "what - to have your teeth whitened" to which he took very big umbridge to and proceeded to get extremely annoyed that I had said it in front of his friends.
I dont give a fuck about his teeth or his whitening, but his last words to me were :
"YOU'D BETTER GIVE ME A WIDE BERTH WHEN YOU COME HERE NEXT TIME"
So - guess what ?
I HAVE.
Now, every time I approach the pub he leaves. He is an ex-policeman (traffic) and used to continually ask questions about my lifestyle etc etc, but was amusing, so, do I try and make it up with him or come to an agreement and talk ?
My husband says its silly and we should make up but the bloke is really a complete cunt and i cant be doing with it. However, the other regulars are beginning to ask why he leaves when I arrive and its such a close community in there its a tad difficult not to get on with someone.
Advice ? (I think I know the answers...........) !!!!

About 6 months ago I was in my local, which I use most days, talking the usual shite. My (very vain) mate Tim (who I thought was a mate) and I were talking about what we had done that day - he is a house husband and I run a very difficult business. (think EU bollocks preventing me from earning any money) So after he'd taken the piss out of the fact I have a cleaner every week and built upon that as to how lazy I was, I then asked him what he had done that day. Response was that he'd done some washing cleaning and ironing, "something that was beyond me" (i.e taking the piss) and that he'd been to the dentist. I immediately said to him "what - to have your teeth whitened" to which he took very big umbridge to and proceeded to get extremely annoyed that I had said it in front of his friends.
I dont give a fuck about his teeth or his whitening, but his last words to me were :
"YOU'D BETTER GIVE ME A WIDE BERTH WHEN YOU COME HERE NEXT TIME"

Because I just became an uncle for the third time.
Little boy, not sure how much he weighed yet, born by c-section because he got his umbillical cord wrapped around his neck, and they're going to name him something greek that sounds like arsepit or something.

I've just been listening to something very odd....
The electrician who is in to fix the god-awful wiring in my house just started humming to something that sounds like Poker Face by the equally god-awful Lady Gaga.
The plumber who has (as far as I can tell) never met the electrician before joined in with the humming and the occasional "pe-pe-pe-pe-pok-er face". The whole song ended with the electrician on drums (a bucket and plank of wood) and the plumber enthusiastically singing into a screwdriver.
What weird things have you listened to lately???

All hail the good and mighty Cr3
This fine b3tard has just given me a leg-up over the work fire-wall after some scrote put razor-wire over the top. He provided a ladder, grapnel, rope, blankets to put over the razor-wire and even an old mattress so that the drop down the other side was comfortable.
Hats off to that man - I was b3ta-less for less than a day.
So, if you could have two scoops of any flavour ice-cream, what would you choose? Me: prunes with Armagnac and cantaloupe melon.

Well, last night was fun. Or, WANKING GRANNIES!
On a rare night out, we went to see a local band that we try and see on a regular basis (although it's about ten months since we last saw them). The venue was a new one for them, a small pub in the country, but only a twenty minute drive from us. This band does mostly pop/rock covers (but a good mix - stuff from Erasure to Buzzcocks to Black Sabbath), but with a twist - on a lot of their set list, the lead guitar gets put to one side in favour of a cello. Believe me, Sabbath's 'Paranoid' done with a cello works - it shouldn't, but it does.
(For a couple of samples of stuff done on the cello, here's Eleanor Rigby and Paint it Black: www.gladstonemusic.com/music.htm)
So, the crowd is appreciative of the band, for most of them it's the first time they've seen them, and they went down a storm. Unfortunately, this was a country pub and the locals were, shall we say, a bit 'colourful'.
The missus was talking to Arty, the cellist, after the gig and he was somewhat perturbed by the fact that, right at the front, was a woman (a mightily pissed woman) with her boyfriend. Nothing unusual in that, you might think. Except, he was almost put off his cello playing by the fact that when he looked up briefly he saw her "having a good old dig at herself". Apparently it nearly put him off his stroke... We later gleaned that this woman was thirty five years old, and a grandmother.
Click "I like this" if the thought of thirty five year old grandmothers having a wank in public appeals to you.

My first look at off-topic..
Dear Regular Off-Topic Posters,
after noticing some weird overreactions and politics creeping in to QOTW in recent weeks I decided to check out Off-Topic. I can't say I'll be back, the word clique seems to sum it up.
I'm sure you're all nice people, and I very much enjoy your stories in QOTW proper but you're not very nicely behaved in here sadly. It's a very small and relatively insignificant corner of the internet, you can have it all to yourselves, with my sincere blessing.
All the very best,
Finch.

There we go, rest of QOTW, here's some emo poetry.
My pain knows no bounds, My fears that were lost are now found.
They ask me weekly, something not gloomy, a question of humour,
Their intentions were not of me to speak of my mother's tumour.
They once asked, a story of my favorite telivison loser,
I couldn't think of an awnser, so I recalled my childhood abuser.
He locked me the basement, and fed me on rats brains,
I'm embelishing, but tinned tuna is more or less the same.
Basement is a bit harsh, it's really just my downstairs room,
I only had freeview as they wouldn't shell out for sky multi-room.
I never really got much attention from the oppersite sex,
Turns out nobody gives a fuck the tatto on my bicepts.
Batman's logo is now emblazon'd on my forearm,
I thought "oh well, at least it would be considered geek charm"
But now girls don't want to know me, and neither do my mates,
My gran's my best friend, but at least I'm getting reuglar sex.

I found out today that two of my pieces that were sitting in the gallery for the past six months sold- a dragonfly and a glass-sided box.

From the Telegraph review (thanks to purpledoris):
'Where is David Bowie when you need him? Arguably the boldest and most creative solo artist in the history of rock, he seems the ideal icon for these uncertain times, the kind of future pop visionary who might bring the blurred possibilities of a disintegrating music culture into sharp focus.'
I'll tell you where he is: hanging, twitching from a length of electrical cable in a fume-filled lockup in the East End.
If only this were true...
EDIT re-reading that, there's one bit I have no argument with: he is indeed the perfect icon for these times: shallow, image and fame obsessed at the expense of quality, really fucking shit and disliked intensely by me.

i just want to go home and talk about it to someone "
She called me a nerd but that's ok - I am a kebab connoisseur, a kebaboisseur if you will. Every country in the world has their own version of kebabs and wherever I am, I insist on finding the best kebab house in town.

Christians! Old men! Party hats!
While most of you brits are just starting, here in New Zealand, Christmas is already over. Getting drunk was the most rational way to endure it. My whole extended family are christian - virgin birth, 7 day creation christians. This has always been the cause of a little friction - I'm atheist and I don't hide the fact. For me, Christmas is a festival which has been stolen so many times from so many different religions that for any religion to assert ownership of it seems rather arrogant. For my extended family, Christmas celebrates the birth of good old JC.
i'd wondered if it was going to cause problems on Christmas day, and enquired as such to my mum the day before.
"It'll be fine, it's all very low key, those who want to go to church will go, those who don't, won't. There are no obligations in any shape or form."
Which assauged my worries somewhat.
Christmas morning:
9am: Woken up for church. We're not going to church, we're having family church. In the house. in the lounge. As the only atheist, it is conceded that perhaps I don't HAVE to attend. If I'm really sure. But it would be SUCH a lovely time to have the family together. Your Grandmother will be so disappointed. This really is all rather inconvenient, you know. Pointed stares abound. Eventually, my assertations that I would rather drink antifreeze sink in. Of course, this won't stop my grandfather coming to have a chat with me and tell me to "stop being silly about it" and come and join the 'church'.
10am: The bible readings begin. Apparently it would be antisocial for me to tactfully withdraw, but if i were to sit in on the proceedings, that would be rude. So I'm given a couch in the corner to keep me out of the way, but not out of the way enough that anyone has to feel guilty.
10:15am The bible readings begin.
11.15am the songs about Jesus begin.
1pm After a rousing chorus of 'Christ the holy child', lunch is served. Topics of conversation include 'muslims just going back home where they belong', 'people who don't believe in god aren't in the majority so why shouldn't public money be spent in churches?' and the all time favourite 'PC brigade, can't look sideways at a faggot without being carted off but they can do whatever they like to us'.
2pm Party hats are donned.
2.05pm After biting my tongue for most of the day, I venture a suggestion that perhaps we should consider some of these issues from a different perspective. For example, if my grandfather went to Iran, would he find it reasonable to not be allowed to practice Christianity?
2.06pm I'm firmly 'advised' to not speak on such topics because disagreeing is "simply rude"
2.07pm onward: Losing the will to live, I try to remember why I didn't go spend Christmas with somebody - anybody else.
For a day that's supposed to be about peace and love and family, it sure was shit.
Anyone else not quite as cheery for the holiday as Hallmark expects them to be?

While most of you brits are just starting, here in New Zealand, Christmas is already over. Getting drunk was the most rational way to endure it. My whole extended family are christian - virgin birth, 7 day creation christians. This has always been the cause of a little friction - I'm atheist and I don't hide the fact. For me, Christmas is a festival which has been stolen so many times from so many different religions that for any religion to assert ownership of it seems rather arrogant. For my extended family, Christmas celebrates the birth of good old JC.
i'd wondered if it was going to cause problems on Christmas day, and enquired as such to my mum the day before.
"It'll be fine, it's all very low key, those who want to go to church will go, those who don't, won't. There are no obligations in any shape or form."
Which assauged my worries somewhat.
Christmas morning:
9am: Woken up for church. We're not going to church, we're having family church. In the house. in the lounge. As the only atheist, it is conceded that perhaps I don't HAVE to attend. If I'm really sure. But it would be SUCH a lovely time to have the family together. Your Grandmother will be so disappointed. This really is all rather inconvenient, you know. Pointed stares abound. Eventually, my assertations that I would rather drink antifreeze sink in. Of course, this won't stop my grandfather coming to have a chat with me and tell me to "stop being silly about it" and come and join the 'church'.

ITS FUCKING SNOWING
I fucking love snow. and its proper crunchy snow as well that sticks properly. The missus is in bed ill, i've been out with the lad in the pram - his first snow! Ive helped an old dear who fell over, chatted to some neighbours that i've not met before, helped a useless chav lad get his car out of our steep road - explaining that wheelspinning for 10 minutes doesnt really work.
I am very excited. Going back out now.

the whole office is in hysterics
one of our colleagues just fell in the pond outside. I'm not talking a small pond either, it's probably a metre or two deep and 10 metres by about 30 metres.
apparently something had blown into the edge of the pond (or lake perhaps) he was lying on his stomach to get it and somehow managed a forward roll into the water :-D

My sister got measured for a bra yesterday and is now a double J.
The woman came out of the cubicle and put one of the cups on her head like a hat.
And I thought Jesus Christ, in the genetic sweepstake that could have been me.
What physical characteristics do your siblings have that your glad you haven't been born with.

A b3ta dirty/erotic poetry competition
I am revising for exams, so (obviously) I have written some dirty limericks, for to share with all of you. That's right, literally ALL of you. Even you.
There once was a girl of Dunoon
Who had the most cavernous poon.
When a suitor fell in
She fetched tins and some string
And she talks to him each afternoon.
There was a young man who would drink
A pot of black Indian ink
He said "it's remiss
But now when I piss
I can write my full name on the sink".
There was a strange girl of Duntocher
Who could only get off with a poker
When asked "is it sore?"
She said "not any more,
Since I hired a high-quality stoker".
There was a young man of Algiers
Who hadn't reached climax for years.
His first girlfriend said
"I just gave him head
And it shot out my nose and my ears!"
There was a young lady of Spain
Whose tightness was cause of her fame
When a man tried to rape her
He turned white as paper
She'd snipped off his cock as he came.
There was a young man of Dumbarton
Who ate cabbage and beans by the carton
When told he was whiffy
He said, with a stiffy
"I get sexual pleasure from fartin'".
Do you have any more? I know that's not how you pronounce Algiers, by the way.

The Almost Birthday.
My oldest child just turned 20, and I went through with the earlier outlined plan for his party- since he's not quite 21 yet I got him some non-alcoholic beer (not quite beer) and took a box of cake mix and stuck crayons on top of it (not quite a cake and candles) and had one of his friends come over in a dress (a not quite girl to share his not quite beer with).
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? See replies.

Arsebiscuits!
I take my eye off b3ta for a few weeks and I miss all of the fun.....
Enzyme, one of the voices of reason on B3ta, gets a stalker....
*flounce*
Once upon a time it was me that attracted the crazies....
Anyway Baz, or Ritchie, - let me give you a little education. You do know that, by sending an email to someone you also send the IP address of the computer you were logged on at when you sent it? So, with a quick reverse look-up we know your provider and approx location?
Also, Cr3 knows his shit and can also pull the same info from the B3ta logs? So, on the offchance that anything does happen to Enzyme, you're off to the Strangeways Hotel you spotty, Racist, Sun-reading, Chelsea supporting scum.
And can I add my name to the list of people who would really like you to come and have a go?
Enzyme is a nice guy. I'm not.
Oh. And I might spend tomorrow looking you up and publishing what I find on you. And trust me - I'm *much* better at it than the best part of you (that was the bit that dribbled down your mother's leg...)
Cheers

I just flashed the postman
he brought me post, I showed him my left breast. Admittedly I had been feeding the ectoparasite, and forgot to put myself away - but the postman didn't know that.
Do you think this will encourage the postman to up his demands in the next strike action, or not strike, but knock on my door more often?
Have you exposed yourself to any members of the CWU recently?

Question Time with a Dimbleby
Glancing casually over someone's shoulder on the tube home yesterday, I noticed they were reading a column in The Times which was discussing the possible appearance of the oh-so-delightful BNP on BBC Question Time. The article was based on ten questions which could be put to the Rt Hon Mr Nicholas Griffin which would show him up for the nasty, hate-filled bubble of fart gas that he is.
So if a representative of the British National Party were to appear on this current affairs program and you were to find yourself in the audience, what question would you put to them?
I would be tempted to proffer, "Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler and Oswald Moseley...shag, marry or kill?"

I just had a visit from the cops.
Last night I had a smallish fire in my backyard fireplace. It's a circle of stones that looks a lot like a miniature Stonehenge, situated in the middle of a brick patio. I had built a nice little fire with seasoned oak and was sitting by it when the wind blew up hard and carried a lot of smoke toward my neighbor. The wind held for a couple of hours.
He came bustling over and yelled, "You gotta do something about that smoke! It's all through my house! You gotta move that fireplace to the other side of the yard or sumpin' coz it's blowin' in my house!"
(Now if it were me, I would have simply closed the windows... but I guess that makes a bit too much sense.)
"Sorry, I can't move it. It's built into the ground."
"You want me to get the cops involved? We can do it that way if you want. I'll call the cops, I'll call the fire department, I'll call the homeowner's association, I'll call the district attorney."
"Do what you need to do, I guess," I replied. "It's legal."
So this morning two cops arrived on my doorstep. "Hi, umm, can we speak to you for a minute? We had a complaint about a fire last night..."
I explained what had happened and showed them the fireplace, and pointed to the stack of firewood I had been burning. The cop almost looked embarrassed by the time I was done. "Yeah, obviously nothing really happening here. You'd think he could have just come over and said something like hey, I got some smoke in my house last night."
I chuckled. "He's still mad at me for calling animal control on his dog after it bit my daughter."
"Oh, the Dalmatian that doesn't bite?"
We both laughed. He turned to his partner. "Come on, let's go talk to him." And they walked back out.
I haven't seen the Choad since.

food
I've just been a different Chinese takeaway than my regular. The fact that the person behind the counter looked EXACTLY like the diamond-face villain from Die Another Day did not make up for how startlingly bland the food was.
What Bond Villain-a-like has sold you a piss poor takeaway? Perhaps a Turkish version of Scaramanga has sold you a kebeb that tasted of the polystyrene box they put it in.

Today's motoring awards
The awards committee have been very busy today, oh yes. Firstly, the "not a motor vehicle, but deserving of an honourable mention" award goes to the two cyclists who adopted a policy of "let's ride side by side and ignore the queue of cars behind us for several miles through a village because we're cool". The "trucker's co-operation" award goes to the three trucks and two caravans, none of whom could go faster than 60mph, but all of whom decided to spend nearly ten motorway miles trying to overtake each other building up a queue worthy of rush-hour on the M4.
The "less lane discipline than a stampeding herd of cows" goes to the FedEx lorry. His outstanding failure to be in the correct lane means that this award doesn't feel like it goes far enough, but still, I'm sure he'll appreciate it. He managed to be in the turn left only lane of a motorway junction roundabout and spectacularly turned right - his utter ignorance of what was going on around him only serves to further justify this award. I counted four near accidents on his way around, and he gets the bonus prize for not using any form of indicators throughout the maneuver. However, he was able to lip-read the word 'cunt', which I felt only partially expressed my astonishment at his driving prowess.
The "Mr Magoo" award went to the ugliest Citroen I've ever seen. Despite being on the brow of a hill looking across the valley thus ensuring he had a good two miles worth of perfect visibility, he was able to not see the stationary traffic. I briefly prepared myself for a brown trousers moment that could have in fact led to something redder and more hospitalising, but he spotted the upcoming technical challenge at the last moment and managed to execute a fast change of lane or two and avoid parking his car in the back of mine or the car in the lane next to me. It would be wrong for this award to go to anyone else.
Finally, the "Fuck everyone else" award goes to the mini-bus who sat in the outside lane doing a steady 50mph on the motorway seemingly oblivious to the rest of the traffic. Some daring motorists engaged in a little light Sunday inside overtaking including a motorbike that did it at such speed that he gets the "I'll be dead by Christmas" award. In the end, someone undertook me, pulled in in-front and was considerably more forceful with light flashing that eventually led to what turned out to be an OAP driver finally moving into the inside lane. I briefly spotted him move back to the outside lane in my mirror - hence all the other fucknuggets that day with fuck all idea of what lane they should be in pale into insignificance due to this one.
Thank fuck it's nearly wine-o-clock.
What has ground your bones, sunk your boat or burnt your temper today? If your day has been jolly and your temper is fine, feel free to recommend which colour wine I should drink.
Fuck me, the words, folks, the words.

At the moment I'm supposed to be working but I've recently developed an addiction to a game that I've been playing almost constantly. This in itself is no big deal - plenty of people get hung up on games...
Guess which one it is or else give us some idea of your embarrassing secret and let us guess the rest.
*EDIT* I'll be back in five minutes or so...once I've played the game a bit more.

Update On Casey
It looks like the site admins from Victoria's Secret have cleared out a load of votes that looked like they've come from bots and now Casey is the clear leader with more than twice the number of votes than Miss Vapid...
www.bodybyvictoria.com/#/Gallery/880
It looks as if they might have closed the contest early as it now doesn't give you the option to vote. Either way it looks like she's won.
And a lot of it is down to you lovely people from QOTW and /links.
Thanks everyone - I'll keep you posted when the news is official.
Cheers
Edit: If she has won I'll know which hotel she'll be staying in, and when, so I think I'll send over a teddy bear wearing a Union Jack with the message:
"Best Of Britsh From The B3tards"

CONTROVERSY ALERT!!!
I know I'm going to get pilloried for this by some B3tans but fuck it, I'm a big girl and I can take it but....
Am I the only one who can tell the difference between good natured ribbing and piss taking of each other on here and those B3tans who get off on being a cunt under the guise of, 'Oh I was just having a joke'.
I'm off home now so can't reply to anything for a while.
It's quite plain to me the difference in the posts. I wonder if anyone else notices?

Dear Bono
It's one thing that you haven't yet had the common decency to contract a horrible flesh eating virus on your many trips to third world countries, possibly also proving God does not exist, but now you have decided to not only rape my poor audio recepticals but also you are now shoving your hideous smug face in my eyes whilst wailing some lyrics so cheesy I actually feel the need to murder several kittens just to try and restore the balance of the universe.
It was bad enough that you demanded the iconic iPod adverts be changed so people could actually see your spunk guzzling cross eyed flesh bag you call your face, and you still insist on pumping out music more flacid than the pitiful flesh string you call your penis but this new advert must have been more satisfying than rolling around in your vat full of money whilst women wearing Bono masks try and massage some life in to your pathetic spam javelin. Not only do you get to sing what is quite possibly the worst U2 song I have heard since the last release, you also get to gurn your way through 30 seconds of pure Bono Ego Stroking.
I'll go crazy if I don't introduce your face to a very blunt object tonight.

Back from the gym and feeling magnanimous so I offer the dove of peace to psychochomp.
I think things got carried away in porkylips post and I'd like to man the fuck up and apologize.
In all honesty, I'm not very funny, I do have my moments but they are few and far between. Luckily on OT I'm welcomed regardless of my shortcomings and I would hate to see this place become full of antagonistic banter instead of the friendliness that permeates here.
I haven't changed my point of view, I've just decided that an intelligent middle-aged women should not be drawn into a slanging match.
Thank you.

Strange things....
I was just out in the fields just now with my camera, putting some use to my 70-300mm lens, something I hardly touch since getting the camera. I then stood in the field (it was my Dad's field) and suddenly started thinking about Dad and how much he loved it, started really missing him. Then this bee-like humming sound started going near my ear, I ignored it, it buzzed a few times, then I heard what I thought was my Uncle call out my name, and I yelled back "OK, be with you in a minuite".
I then turn around to where the humming is, and I see these tiny little creatures (can anyone identify them? see photo further down). I get the camera and take a load of fantastic once-in-a-lifetime shots (I'll upload properly tomorow, using mobile for internets at the moment).
After they've gone, I went up to the house, where my uncle was still crashed out on the sofa, same as I left him. His voice was very much the same as Dads.
I'm not sure entirely about what I'm implying here, I don't know the awnsers, it could be my head making things up, as it's two days off from exactly one year since he went, but that's what just happened, and the pain doesn't hurt so much at the moment.

Dear Off Topic,
I had the worst weekend ever.
On Friday evening I took my dog for a walk in the woods near my house, and it ran off, chasing something.
I looked for him for hours, but it got dark, and I'd shouted 'til I could shout no more.
With a heavy heart I walked home alone.

Along the lines of No3l's post, below
I'm in a good mood today, because I've acquired my first crank.
I feel like I've made it professionally. It can only be a matter of time now before I get my first death threat - the sign of real impact.
I also like the way I'm referred to as representing the British ethical establishment. I think I should demand a pay-rise.
EDIT: I've just been told of someone who was sent a bullet in the post by someone who objected to her ethics research... yikes.

Easter bastards
I sent my brother an Easter egg via a Thorntons online chocolate delivery service. They offer custom icing, so I got him a simple 'CUNT' iced on it. I was very much looking forward to seeing him open it as these little family moments make life worth living.
What arrived today was a blank egg. Should I sue for my missing CUNT? Given I have an order acceptance receipt from them - I think the item shipped is different to that promised and should therefore be refunded. Any legal opinions? Not to mention damages for my ruined easter.....

I don't usually post local news, but......
anyone living in the USA or anyone who follows baseball knows that this morning (Thursday, it's only 10.45pm here) a rookie baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was killed in a car accident this morning.
Usually, when an athlete departs our world, I really am ambivalent about it, but last night I was at the baseball game and saw him pitch. He looked good.
A promising young lad, 22 years old, on the verge of making a HUGE mark in Major League Baseball.
For whatever reason, this tragedy has upset me......he was hit by a drunk driver who was on a suspended license for a previous driving under the influence conviction...he was just too young.
RIP, Nick Adenhart. I'm glad I saw your last game, and I hope I get jury duty when that cunt that killed you is on trial.

I overslept this morning.
It's been warm outside, so I slept with the window open. Having recently been sick, I've been sleeping more deeply than usual. I vaguely remember the alarm going off this morning- apparently instead of Snooze I hit Off. I woke up about 8:30 and arrived at work an hour later, expecting to be explaining and apologizing.
No one noticed.

For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right?
That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.
7TH PLACE:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
6TH PLACE:
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
5TH PLACE:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just burgled by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish.
4TH PLACE:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella Awards when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard.
Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
3RD PLACE:
Third place goes to Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2ND PLACE:
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 ...oh, yeah, plus dental expenses.
1ST PLACE:
Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich.
Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit.
You can't fix stupid ..and now its profitable !!

I've made, EXCELLENT footsteps towards harmony with this. So I'm giving it to you again in a more well seen light. On the internet.
Ok.
You know how we as a human race like to track hurricanes, so we can monitor and warn people of it's impending strike on land?
Well, imagine a portly fellow wobbles onto QOTW for lively lies and fabrications about his stellar sex life with real life girls, rather akin to second life but without those GEEKS, eh? ;) Those geeks eh? You aren't that sad.
Imagine this gentleman, just as he reaches the PC, drops his gateaux all over the floor. NIGHTMARE! Not like the "Knightmare" you're all probably used to. With the bearded lad and the nonce elves, "WHERE ARE YOU?" "I'M IN A ROOM WITH A FOREST", etc.
Anyway, I'm leading off track. "Portly Fellow A" is now enraged, and as he sits down on QOTW, JMG is on.. Ugh!! That ruddy JMG! I'll show him!
So PF-A decides to have a right go at JMG's every other post, slagging him off as quickly as possible so all the girls can see what an excellent quipster he really, really is. Thus repairing slightly his ever-so-slightly damaged feelings over the gateaux that he's now helping up from the carpet with a desert spoon 50% garnished with trodden wools.
What if this could all happen for everybody to see?
QOTW, TALK, everybody you think exists on the internet?
Wouldn't this, a brilliant reality of fusion make all of your great big wobbly dreams complete?
There's more girls, more people, more FUN on /talk! Come on! It's like you're filthy Communist Russia, where you're told what to do and you have to apply to have fun. As to where we're the swinging west. Happy, free and with a lot less ratio of people to warts.
Chins up and hoist your dump truck butts over to /talk. See me as a man dressed in 80's attire and a "Frankie says Das Relaxen" t-shirt, hammering into your wall of confusion and denial.
We truly are better people, and I am head and shoulders over you all.
Shut down QOTW, expand /talk. 2009.
*Victory signs*
*Flares*
*GMoS endorsed sexy party*
*JMG Anthem*

A seasonal poem
Xmas is all about ME!
Never mind the children or the home-returning folk
Bedamned with sprouts and pudding, turkey, vodka mixed with yolk
I couldnt give a toss for Christians, charity or trees
As what’s important at this time of year is me! Me! ME!!!
I’m getting lots of pressies and my belly will get fat
I’ll drink myself unconscious wearing stupid looking hats
I’ll not do any washing-up or showering I think
I’ll melt into the couch while watching Star Wars with a drink
If someone gets me something which is tacky, cheap or naff
I’ll sling it straight back at them sneering with a little laugh
I’ll profligately dispense gifts and drinks and food for free
I’ll lord it over everyone with generosity
I’ll mock and jeer at adults running after little shits
I’ll “accidentally” smash the little fuckers xmas gifts
I’ll use the type of language innocents should never hear
And when I leave I’ll tell them all that I’m not coming back next year
I’m uncle baz, the bachelor, the wild one, the black sheep,
No children, wives or weddings, no responsibility
The world’s my pearl-filled oyster, life’s a daily bacchanal
So merry fucking xmas to you bastards, one and all
Rafter

Radio 4
Why does "Thought for the Day" always get up my nose?
I sort of enjoy waking up to the Today Programme - the dulcet tones of John Humphries, Ed Sturton, etc., are soothing, and remind me that even though it's 7am and it's bloody freezing, there are still politicians and venture capitalists to be shouted at.
And then Thought For The Day comes on, with some pious prick starting out promisingly, reminding us of some thought-provoking event, before disappearing up his or her own fragrant arse in a lengthy monologue about how wonderful it is to be such a smug sanctimonious prick who has found inner peace within the confines of his own cavernous and deeply spiritual rectum.
Perhaps I should just get out of bed earlier...

Attention /all B3tards…
If you’ll bear with me, I’d like to try something here…
I, like many of you, have been mourning the loss of the /all feature on QotW.
I don’t know how many of you knew about it, but it was a brilliant feature that sorted the QotW posts into the order of 'number of clicks received'. Just like the ‘Popular posts’ feature on the Image Challenge. It was fucking smart. Now it’s gone.
Chart Cat has replied to my post on the ‘bugs and features request’ thread stating that the removal of /all might just be a coding issue that was switched off when the new updates were installed recently, and was not switched on again.
However, what has left my cheese out in the wind, is not just the loss of /all, but the lack of explanation or proper response to calls for it’s return.
Anyway, I’ve been trying to think of a way to draw attention to this issue.
So I kinda got to thinking…I wonder if a sort of ‘off topic petition’ would work?
So here goes:
If you would like the /all feature returned – please ‘sign’ here by the way of a reply.
You don’t have to put a comment, a joke or anything. Just the word ‘yes’ will do.
1 each please – If you think of additional comments please edit your original reply. That way the number of replies to this thread can be a record of the ‘signatures’.
I am asking all B3tans as one. Let’s put our differences behind us and see if we can do something together. It will only take one person to fuck this up.
If you’re not interested in /all returning – don’t reply. It’s as simple as that. At least one way or another I can find out if I’m alone in wanting /all brought back.
Now, no doubt I haven’t thought this through properly and it will descend into anarchy, but hey ho – if you don’t try, you don’t get.
Thanks for your time.
BRING BACK /ALL!

on Mormons
I'm living in the Deep South of the USA, and as such am surrounded by religious types. My mechanism for dealing with them is very much of the 'stick fingers in ears, say la la la, and pretend they aren't there' school, so imagine my surprise when two mormons (mormen?) accosted me at the bus stop yesterday.
Now, owing to my not feeling well at the time, I was clutching the bus stop to prevent me from having a sudden face-ground interaction, I couldn't escape, so I ended up chatting to these two missionaries for about half an hour.
In this time, they asked me why I am not religious (my answer: I'm a scientist, and cannot really believe in something I have no proof of), would I like to know more about mormonism (my answer: no), and would I like to join them for worship sometime (my answer: ha ha, you're joking, right?).
But the reason I am boring you with this is the single greatest question I have ever been asked by a religious twerp.
'So, in europe there is much less religion, why do you think that is? Is it because you're all smarter and more educated than we are?'
Bless her, the poor girl had no idea why I was struggling to keep a straight face.
Felt y'all would enjoy this wonderful attempt at converting a b3tan to a mormon.

So I am in Wetherspoons
at 10AM one of the days last week (Thursday maybe, I can't remember) and I am standing at the bar having ordered a breakfast when a 40-50 year old man comes up to me with a pint in his hand.
"You know what's wrong with you young kids today?"
(I'm 23, while not exactly middle aged, I'm not that young)
Well I turned to the man and gave what I thought was a response that would send him on his way
"I'm not going to be lectured about what is wrong with my generation when I work five days a week to support myself through university and pay taxes so that work shy gits like you can do nothing but get ratted in the pub at 10AM"
He didn't even break stride
"The problem with the young kids today, is that they think they fucking know everything!"
You win this round old man.

I've just read this on sickipedia....
And it's made me giggle a little...
Once upon a midnight dreary,
while i porn surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'.
While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
On second though, not that great, but still made me smile!

Thank you
for all your suggestions for my pumpkin. After much agonising I ignored them all and did this:
Clicky to embiggen.
Three hours later, I am cold, hungry and in pain. And there is pumpkin everywhere. But ... hurrah for my pumpkin!

The Brand 'Affair'
I'm a subscriber the Brand podcast. It's a very funny, but rather 'on edge' programme. However...
1. It was Ross' idea to keep phoning up. Why isn't he getting grief?
2. Yes, it is an offence to make prank phonecalls - so why did the Beeb broadcast them?
3. 10,000 people phoned in about the calls. How many of them actually listened to the podcast?
4. Whilst the Prime Minister sees the finanicial markets collapse around his ears, he decides to comment instead on a rather trivial comedy programme.
5. Sachs actually gave his permission to play the recordings before the broadcast when contacted by the show's producer.
Am I the only one seeing the hypocrisy and parallels with the BrassEye furore??? Am I the only one who thinks that it's been a little bit blown out of proportion?
Edit:- Sorry, didn't read down. But my points are still valid. Moving on...

I've just been reminded about something by a qotw answer
a little while ago I was at home during the day and saw we were running out of bog roll.
bright was the sun and high my spirits as I sauntered down to the local shop.
To my great chagrin I saw that they only had one pack of bog roll left, and it contained 18 rolls.
Shrugging, I picked up the pack and descended on the till where the slack-jawed yokel behind the counter looked at the packet and said:
"are you sure you don't want some Imodium instead?"

bbc site - article about sex ed in schools
if this guy aint already a member can we send out a team to find him...
I went to school in a large fully comp in Feltham, West London. These were the days when your parents had to sign a consent form for you to have sex education. I was about 14 (1975) and the school had hired a film about childbirth. Being that it had the film for only a short period, it was decided to show it to as many as possible in one sitting. So there we all were, about 150 of us in the school hall, watching a 16mm film with diabolical sound, of a woman giving birth. There was the usual noises and comments as the film progressed. After the baby appeared, the voice over mentioned the placenta would follow. At this point the projector jammed, which caused the film to melt from the centre of the picture outwards. The mother in the film was still on screen, so at first everyone thought the melting of the film was the placenta coming out, but it just got bigger and bigger and bigger, and the gasps of horror got louder and louder and louder, until the entire screen was filled with what we though was placenta, the illusion broken by a lone voice shouting 'the films on fire!'
Pandamonium ensued, and 150 young minds were scarred for life. Possibly my favourite school memory.

Names.
I'm a boring average man, with a boring average name. My colleague Luke answered the phone to somebody who said "They call me Rick Highland". OK, so he was a nob for introducing himself like that, but I am very jealous of his name. We're going to try and get him set up with one of our consultants, Maggie Storm, in an effort to get them to start a crime-fighting duo.
It's a coolest names thread. Get in.

A question
Mr Bin and I have been thinking about joining one of these online film rental things.
So we are both on our laptops looking to see what we can find. He's on Safari and I'm on Firefox. He is on a macbook pro and I am on a macbook. (no mac flaming please).
He says "Lovefilm.com are expensive, their cheapest deal is £10" "No", I say, "I'm on their site and they do one at £4"
Well try as he might he can't get it to come up with the £4 deal.
Any ideas what's happening?
We've emptied the caches.

Cute fuffyness!
We've just moved into our apartment in Pune, India... and guess who we found waiting for us on our doorstep? This little guy:
He's somehow managed to get lost from his mom, we estimate he's only 3-4 weeks old. If anyone can identify the species or let us know what's best to feed him we'd be grateful.
He's eaten a lot of scrambled egg (thanks RSPCA website) and seems to like that.
And finally: Awwwww cuteness!

This made me giggle
.
Logging on to check my mail, the Yahoo home page has the headline "Black hole machine on blink" followed by "The Large Hadron Collider, the machine designed to unlock the secrets of the universe, has been shut down after only a week". Apparently the shutdown is the result of an electrical fault.
The bit that made me giggle is the sub-heading "Find an electrician in your local area".
I now have a mental picture of the CERN scientists all standing around, watching a man in badly fitting jeans displaying his "cleavage" whilst rooting around in a tool box. He will no doubt do a bit of tooth sucking before declaring that, "It'll all have to be redone, guv'nor. Gonna cost you, to be honest. Take a bit of time, as well."
Ah, the fun you can have when you're easily amused ...

So I am at work.
I am four hours into what is supposed to be a six hour job, and I've managed to get about an hour and a half of actual work done, meaning I'm probably not going to get home until 4 or even 5am. This is due to various processes falling over in our company's crappy payroll system, which is so complicated and unstable that it requires an IT bod to run it, plus two specialists on call in case of problems.
I am having problems tonight. All of them. I often have the mickey taken out of me at work for having all the crap payroll nights, but this one really takes the piss.
Cheer me up with your tales of shitty luck or I might just hurl myself off the balcony.

Possibly the last Home Sweet Home thread ever.
As you know, the Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to be switched on tomorrow. There's a miniscule chance that something may go catastrophically wrong and a black hole will be created that sucks the Earth into one supercompressed lump of matter. This of course will mean that the World, along with b3ta and the b3tans will cease to exist. So what better way to spend the last evening ever by partying away in this Home Sweet Home thread like it's 1999.

Because it's quiet, and I'm bored
Apologies if folk have heard this.
A bloke walks into a talent agency and with a flourish, places his resume on the desk.
"Can I help you?" asks the talent manager.
"Oh yes," says the performer. "I'm everything you've been looking for; and I seek representation."
"What can you do?" asks the manager.
"Do? Well, I can act, I can sing, I can dance. I'm an all-round performer".
Flicking through the resume, the manager says, "Well this is certainly very impressive, but I'm afraid I can't represent you. We would have a problem with your name".
"What's wrong with it?" demands the aghast artiste.
"It says here your name is Penis van Lesbian. Nobody will take you seriously or book you with that name, no matter how accomplished you are. If you would be willing to change it, we would certainly be interested."
"I change my name for noone!" rants van Lesbian. "I'm proud of my name and I change it for noone. I shall become the biggest star ever without your help. Good day to you!" and with that he flounces out.
Two years pass and the talent manager receives a letter, accompanied with a large bouquet of flowers.
Dear Mr. Manager.
2 years ago I came to you seeking representation and due to my refusal to change my name, I rebuffed you and stormed out.
I gave your advice serious thought and on hindsight, decided you may be right. I chose a stage name and have now become a huge star, and I owe it all to you and your advice.
Please accept these flowers as a token of my gratitude.
Yours sincerely,
Dick van Dyke

Love thrown away
*Inspired by a film*
I met her every day at the beach.
We never arranged a meeting beforehand, sent each other excited messages in anticipation, or met at the same time every day.
I just knew she would be there, always facing out to the sapphire waves. In all the times we met, I would find her in the same stance. She would be stood as described as the ocean came into view as I reached the summit of a dune, silhouetted against the glare of the sun off the water; one hand planted against her slender waist.
She would give no indication she knew I was approaching, but never started or displayed any surprise as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.
She would sigh pleasurably and nuzzle her head of spiralling black curls against my neck and reach around to cup my buttocks.
Speech wasn't necessary beyond small grunts and moans of acknowledgement. She would turn and almost bury her teeth into my shoulder with a strength and vehemence belying her small stature, drawing blood on occasion but causing euphoria instead of pain.
We would lay down in the sand, her small breasts against my chest as we made love, occasionally arching her back as she rode me, for extra friction against her clitoris. Our orgasm was always simultaneous.
Afterwards, she would dance to a rhythm inaudible to our ears, but which thundered through our hearts and loins. Primal and passionate, it was truly what a philosopher once called the vertical embodiment of a horizontal desire. I always became fixated with the small tattoo of a butterfly on her left hip which seemed to flutter, most alluringly, as she dipped and swayed. Afterwards, as she lay exhausted in the almost vermillion sand, I would lay a tender hand upon her head and say, 'I must go. I shall see you soon'.
She would look up into my eyes, her own a mischevious, sparkling emerald and say, 'Until then'.
Until today.
'I must go. I shall see you soon'.
She rammed her hands against her ears in a most alarming and painful-looking fashion and screamed.
'No! No! Don't go! Don't leave me!'
This carried on for what seemed like an enternity, until I came to my senses and wrestled her arms from her ears.
'I must, Sweet. I must go'.
She screamed again and beat my chest with her fists. Her sheer fury made the punches hurt, but as the flurry continued they became less substantial; even ethereal.
To my horror, I noticed my love had become almost transluscent, her pounding fists sinking into my chest uselessly. I looked up, and caught one last glimpse of her terror-stricken face as she vanished before my eyes. I screwed my eyes shut and howled primal grief at the impervious sky.
I heard a voice.
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room.
A face, not known to me, hazy at first, then with gradual clarity, swam into view. A doctor.
'Mr Bradley?'
I nodded.
'You were in a car accident. A collison with a truck. You've been in a coma for 2 weeks.'
I swallowed, with difficulty.
'Lou...Louise?'
'I'm sorry sir,' said the kindly voice, the Herald of Death, 'She passed away just before you awoke...'

What would you take?
Evening All
Mr Bin just asked what three things would you take on Ready Steady Cook to really piss them off?
Alaphabites, Crispy Pancakes and Potato Waffles was my choice, how about you?

Had to share -
A very good friend of mine (my son's godfather) tends to err on the side of 'queen' when the mood takes him. In fact he can be as camp as a row of pink tents. Bear with me this is kinda relevant as is it part of what makes him who he is.
Last weekend he was with his partner sitting outside a pub awaiting the arrival of another friend of theirs(female). Tom spies somebody approaching their table and looks up directly in to the sun - all he can see is that this person is wearing a pink trouser suit and a wide-brimmed pink hat (they are attending a family christening so such attire is possible). Tom, quite natuarally, assumes (still somewhat blinded by the sun) that this is their friend and decides to ask; "fuck me - what the fuck are you wearing?"
"I only wanted a light" replied the complete stranger....

I have just finished the first draft of a new short story so w00t for me!

Phallic carpentry :o)
We are in the process of having a new kitchen fitted (10th day of camping in the living room). Today two canny lads are mitre-ing(sp?) the work tops.
I just overheard them discussing male and female bits.....
Being me, I rushed out to investigate further. The template they are using has huge cock-shaped parts (in my mind anyway).
I asked Gary to explain the system.
"Those holes there are the female parts. The other bench will come in at a right-angle to that one and the male ends butt into the female slots...."
I need a pack of tena ladies.

I think
Pensioners should be banned from normal supermarkets, and have their own little versions, where they can push in at their own will.
Thing is, they'd keep pushing in front of each other, until they finally starve to death, unable to get served because some grey haired cunt has shoved in front of them.
Ultimately, this would result in some kind of Logan's Run situation, and if this means we're going to see 70's era Jenny Agutter with her norks for all to see, then that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it.
Edit: Yes, I did get 'pensionered' in the queue at ASDA today.

work
why is it that the day before you go away, when you have all your work planned out in nice neat to do lists that people will NOT STOP calling and emailing you?
and do people think that holidays cause more stress than they alleviate, what with the getting ready and the desk tidying and the file maintenance and the telling everyone you'll be away and the 32 sides of holiday notes....

Found on Jerry Pournelle's site
=================
My five-year old students, are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...
" A f r i c a n Elephant "
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful

QOTW drinking game
Seeing that several of us like to get drunk in front of QOTW, I thought we should discuss the rules for a QOTW drinking game. I've come up with a few rules. Suggestions for more rules are welcome.
Take some sips of your drink if you see any of the following (the number in brackets is the number of sips to take):
+ A story that's just a reference to one or more pervious QOTWs (2)
+ A story in which the author plays the role of the antagonist in an other story (4)
+ Any reference to Wednesday, 4pm (2)
+ Any other reference to the 'sacred calendar' (3)
+ A pun (2, +1 if it's good)
+ A length joke (1, +2 if it's funny)
+ Poster annoys you (3)
+ Replier annoys you (4)
+ Two posters flirting with eachother (1, +1 for each additional poster joining in the fun)
+ Someone mentions goats (1)
+ Someone mentions cake (1)
+ Someone mentions something involving goats and cake (3)
+ Someone whingeing about the current QOTW being crap (2)
+ Someone announces that the postcount of a thread has reached a numerical milestone (1, +1 if it's not a base-10 number)

Happy Sundays
I wish I had more time to read all the stories that have been posted here this weekend. What I have read so far is excellent; even Zapiola's brilliantly twisted pieces. I think I maybe a little less than constructive at work tomorrow...
Anyway, here's a short piece that I've refined from something I started writing a while ago (loosely based in fact), that seemed to be going nowhere, until the "Tales of..." topic gave me some inspiration.

Right, I've had a go at this 500 word story thingy
This time with an exotic angle.
It's pr0n, of sorts. And exactly 500 words, which I was pleased about.
It's straight out of my head, and so won't win any creative writing prizes, but here goes.
Enjoy. Criticism welcome as always.

The pr0n version
The story I wrote earlier was intended to be some bad pr0n as I seem to specialise in that on this site for some reason, but having read other people's stories, I decided to stick to the 500 word limit and keep it mild.
In the replies is the more full flavoured version I'd been playing with.

It's late at night, and it may be the cider talking
But I've just come up with the greatest idea for a kids cartoon. 'Stephen Hawking's cat.'
It's essentially Stephen Hawking's adventures with his cartoon cat, who is also in a wheelchair. It would say "Meow" in the same robot voice as Hawking. They could travel round the world, solving crimes which don't require physical activity.
What do you think - am I on to something?

A poem
Aimed at First Buses in Leeds after we nearly had an accident this morning on a roundabout when we had right of way. The driver was a bit rude:
As we were on our morning drive
A bus appeared before our eyes
In the spot that we'd intended
The driver, middle finger extended
We narrowly avoided a shunt
We hope you'll chastise this useless fool.

What makes Irish football punditry the best in the world?
These lads:
Souness - "Croatia were a little bit tippy tappy for me".
Gilesy on Ronaldo - “Marilyn Monroe was the greatest star in the world but she was never known as a great actor. Ronaldo is like that.”
Bill - ""Those two defenders are known as the twin towers. And they were destroyed there"
Bill - "what do you think of Group B gentlemen?" (the group with Germany, Austria, Poland and Croatia) Souness - "Looks a bit like World War II, Bill".
Dunphy - "Real Madrid are offering ronaldo €250,000 a week after tax, he has a model girlfriend, he's 23, he's good looking, I hate him"
Dunphy again - "Sergio Ramos is a headbanger, he's like Paul McShane on steroids".
Jimmy Magee - "and the ball is passed wide to Ricardo Ronaldo"... Mark Kinsella too polite to correct him, then a min later Jimmy realises...'I've just promoted the Portuguese goalkeeper to the wing'.
Jimmy Magee again: "This must be the most attacks by an Italian team in an international match in the first 16 minutes than anyone can remember"
Mark Kinsella after 15 minutes of the match between Austria & Germany..............
"I see what the Austrians are tryin to do here, they are tryin to stop the Germans playing football"
Mark Kinsella after lahm had been fouled (which resulted in ballacks stunning freekick)..........."he really needed to make that tackle........doesnt matter bout the free kick lahm was on a good run".............ballack riffles one home.........."ya see needless freekicks cost ya
Jimmy again: "klasnic has scored for poland, they lead one nil" then it shows the replay and he realise it was a goal against poland and he says "
of course that was Klasnic of croatia who got the goal"
Bill: - "Just one interesting point. Italy have now qualified for the quarter final with 4 points ,when last time they failed to qualify with 5 points....whatever that means........i actually don't know" ..... que laughter from Gilesy and Brady
With some classic back and forth from the panel
Souness - "I agree with Liam......"
Dunphy - "Its Eamon"
Souness - "Sorry, whats your name....haha....good job Liams not here"
Dunphy - "Holland look good but they haven’t played a proper team yet"
Brady - "They beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1, two WC finalists. what do you mean a proper team?"
Dunphy - "Sweden"
Brady: “The games at five o’clock have been inferior.”
Billo: “For what reason?”
Brady: “Well, I think it is cooler at night, Bill.”
Billo: “Hold on, we’re only talking 23 degrees. That’s what it was like in Dublin today.”
Brady: “Still hot. Still hot. I was playing golf today. I found it hot.”
Billo: “Did you shoot a good score Liam?”
Brady: “No, not really.”
Billo: “And were you as indolent as they (Romania and France) were?”
Gilesy: “You try playing golf at night Bill.”
And best of the tournament……
Souness unimpressed with Thierry Henry’s bravery for the Italian second
goal:
“He’s got his hands down protecting his downstairs area and sticks his foot out like a nancy”
Eamo: “If you don’t mind me saying Graeme, the shot was a bit low to have affected his downstairs area.”
Cue Gilesy mumbling: “You don’t know with these lads, Eamon.”

I'm sorry I broke the rules. I'll put it in a reply so it doesn't break the board.

I used to hang out with A listers
Well, mainly Z-listers in reality. I'd go to all the crazy parties and meet all the new novelty chart acts.
It wasn't long until I met a true intellectual equal and while all the other party guests were on the laughing candy, I argued long and hard about the need for a good LBW defense stroke, the triviality of Tolkien, the genius of Presidents Bush & Bush. Yes, that one from the Cheeky Girls was truly my perfect woman.
We started seeing each other in more formal occasions outside of the Soho set and before long I was going on double dates with her twin sister and her bloke. It would happen too frequently as it turned out eventually stifling our relationship.
Yes folks, my love suffered as a result of Oft Opik.
w00t my first punnage.
