Morning all
The one I hate the most is "life's too short". Is it really? Compared to what, exactly? Life is the longest thing any of us will ever know. Compared to the history of time itself, a life is obviously a drop in the ocean, but what concept do any of us have of a period of that length?

The other one is "schooldays are the best days of your lives". If I'd believed that at any point during my teens I'd have topped myself.

That's because you haven't seen my cock

POTD
It's early days yet. Don't get cocky (seewhatIdidthere)

I don't think I've ever met anyone
who believes in the schooldays are the best line though. I'm pretty sure that comes from an earlier age.

And quite frankly when I read E.F. Benson, I think that if I'd been born in his era (and male obviously) I'd have quite liked school as well.

I liked my school days
Now I have to go creeping around parks in the dead of night for a bum raping.

You're probably right
I still remember being told it when I was about 8 and thinking "You mean it gets WORSE?!"

Did you work in an ice cream van in your teens?

I assume this is a topping pun
C-. Can and should do better

Compared 'with' what, please.

You're quite right of course
I shan't attempt to cover up my error with an edit (too lazy. No coffee as yet).
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:38, Reply)

I'm on a enforced no caffiene diet.
Not by choice, but fuck me it's depressing. Made worse by the fact I've not been to bed before 2 for the last 9 days.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:41, Reply)

That sounds horrific
If I'd had to go caffeine-free yesterday I might have actually died. ACTUALLY. What's brought this on?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:44, Reply)

Caffiene costs loads of money, except for in tea/coffee
And I have so little milk in my tea, there's no point in ever buying it, because it'll always go off.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:48, Reply)

You can drink black tea
I mean, it's rank, but needs must when the devil vomites into your kettle
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:56, Reply)

I'd rather go without it!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 9:56, Reply)

You can only drink black tea when it's Earl Grey, and even then milk is sometimes permissible in it.
Word of law. Never sugar.

I don't like tea in any form
so am happy to defer to your verdict on this matter. Knowing this sort of tea-related etiquette may come in handy one day.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:01, Reply)

Actually, my statement is completely incorrect.
I think there are different types where it's more likely to drink black- like Lady Grey (strong citrus flavour) and other particular types.

I find it inconceivable that you don't like tea, but I am the girl who drank 60 cups when home over Christmas.

Was that a target, or did you just drink your way through a box?
Whenever I'm hungover at one friends house, we'll always start the day with marmite on toast, and a brew. After that, the brews are non-stop, until we're vibrating from the caffiene (and sugar).

I need one of those days soon, not had any tea in over a month.

milk in Earl Grey?
What lies is this?

I noticed that, isn't it meant to be lemon?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:05, Reply)

It is well-documented that I am made of wrong.

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:05, Reply)

this is true
You evil genius. Mind you I just almost climbed out of my window to avoid my scout
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:10, Reply)

What would they have done?
I had a dream a cleaner tried to clean my room. It didn't go well and they were chasing after me trying to charge me £50 for something I would say that I'd do but wouldn't.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:12, Reply)

she keeps asking
To be allowed to clean my bedroom. It sounds stupid but I still get a bit suspicious of her.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:19, Reply)

Hmm.
Just claim you're very very private. How messy is your bedroom?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:22, Reply)

I've just cleaned both my rooms
It's just how messy my room is, is usually a direct indicator of my health (when I'm ill I have zero energy) , and up to my second year I suspect the chaplain still asked the cleaner how bad it was.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:28, Reply)

My room is always messy.
Seriously messy.

At least I no longer have to keep food in it.

washing up is the bane of my life
Thank god for plastic plates and cheap mugs
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Feb 2011, 10:39, Reply)

Charms cleaned the kitchen while I was out on Saturday.
Keep meaning to thank her.

THANK YOU CHARMONSTER
