Excreta
I've just been for a piss and there was a distinct odour of petrol.

Have any of your bodily fluids smelt of refined hydrocarbons? Perhaps you've had a wank that smelt of acetone, or been for a crap and someone thought the council were resurfacing the road outside.

Suggestions, please
I'm in the market for a guitar- not too expensive, but still good quality, with a low action so I don't cut my fingers to shreds. My last one was a Falcon, but I'm thinking along the lines of a Tanglewood electro-acoustic- what do you lot suggest?

Incidentally, I'm not thinking something along the lines of a Taylor here. I'm not sodding made of money...

On the subject of flouncing
Have you ever read anything or had something said to you on a forum that's made you leave or consider leaving? For me it would take quite a lot as I know that in all likelihood, I'm never going to meet the person who's said it and that if they knew me they'd reconsider their words

I take it back
I said in an earlier thread that nothing has pissed me off today.

That changed this afternoon when a two hour meeting became three and a half hours of utter bollocks because something liked the sound of their own voice. And then when I eventually got out, found I have an MPs letter to deal with tomorrow morning, written on behalf of someone who is basically making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ironically, it's about time taken to do project appraisals. Which has been explained to her time and again - we can only turn projects around in two weeks if we have all the bloody information needed in the first place, and the particular project in question had massive problems to resolve first. Which means that I won't be able to do any work on project appraisals until I have dealt with the fucking letter.

I'm very much an anti-smoker
I think it's everyone's right to be able to do so, but think that the indoor restrictions are a great idea. I love being able to come home from the pub, and not reek of fags.

However, I think that this is fucking ridiculous -
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8105585.stm

Do they genuinely think that it will stop kids from smoking, because they didn't see it in the cinema? For fucks sake, a lot of them smoke because their parents do! Are they going to ban that too?

What's next, they going to put a *censored* bar on television every time someone lights up?

My day has gone completely wrong!
I was hungover. Then got a call asking me to stay off work to look after a mate who's ill. I've spent all day hearing her throwing up, trying not to throw up myself, both of us shivering and napping. I went to the shop for her and saw my mental ex. Despite all this I've enjoyed my mate's company and the change of scene! Later I'm off to a star-studded bash. How's your day been? What've I missed?

Does your online life ever get deleted?
I've had the same username for around 11 years now and have changed my views on some things in that time. However, if I google myself using that name, a lot of stuff comes up that was written a long time ago that is no longer true or relevent. I cannot access it for one reason or another to delete it.

Makes me wonder if i (and we in general) don't personally delete every single email from this account, or from other email accounts, or online profiles/accounts of any sort, then will the content always be around forever, and able to be activated again by someone else in control, if not me, even if it is disabled/closed by your request at some point. Scary!

ok, here's a topic that I bet hasn't been posted before
and I'll do it as a poll for anonymity.

My mate questioned the illegality of beastiality because although they claim it's abusing animals, if you tried it on with an animal against its will, it would either attack you, or fuck off away from you. I told him he needs his bumps felt.

Does he:




**Bear in mind that the only animals he's ever owned are a couple of canaries and a cantankerous old cat (and you can imagine how unsuccessful trying to sexually assault a cat would be)

But then I saw a white envolope with my name on it, it was those padded kinds, with goodies inside. I thought this is strange, I've not needed to validate myself with syrophome packaging over the last couple of weeks.

Inside, I found this audio delight, and you know what? It's quite good.

I went to this café today
and the waitress said "what would you like?"
and I was like "I want a grilled cheese sandwich with some sweet chilli sauce"
and she was like "and what do you want?" to my friend*
and my friend was all like "Oh I want so and so" I don't really know what they said I wasn't listening or caring,
and then the waitress was like "so that's one grilled cheese sandwich and one whatever it was"
and I was like "Oh for fucks sake, I KNOW what I want, why do you have to ASK me twice, I did just TELL you you know!"
but she was all like walking away and giving in my order and stuff so she probably didn't hear and then she brought me back my sandwich and whatever my friend ordered and I was like "Oh thanks for that" and like rolling my eyes and I like walked out and stuff.

So, I'm eating grilled cheese sandwiches, what's everyone else doing?
