Which reminds me
Anyone thinking of getting their ford repairs at the Dagenham Motors bodyshop in Enfield should go somewhere else instead as they are complete morons.

why the fuck would anyone want to go to enfield
unless their car happened to have broken down whilst passing through there, i guess.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:52, Reply)

Because that is where the closest ford body shop is to our house

apparently there is something wrong with living a pleasant and fulfilling life
with your wife, garden and own house which you are renovating. I suspect it's the lack of working all hours, not having a mortgage to pay and such that is the problem.

I think having a pathetic salary also has an impact.

"pleasant and fulfilling"
doesn't necessarily mean "interesting", though.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:01, Reply)

they do to me
for it to be pleasant and fulfilling it has to be interesting.

interesting to YOU, as the participant, sure
but there's a reason why no great films or novels or plays or poems or songs are written about things like that though. they can make for pretty dull listening, esp if the perp is then criticising other people for their lives!

so you are saying that your life is more interesting to hear about?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:06, Reply)

Of course it is.
I for one cannot wait to hear more about what a man I will never meet, but who if I did would almost certainly think was a cunt, is like in bed.

I daresay you have trouble remembering his name.
or at least spelling it.
( Bazongaloid, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:13, Reply)

true
i really struggle with J-A-M-E-S.

god al, you're SUCH A RACIST.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:14, Reply)

no, i am saying that al's constant criticism of everyone
comes across as a tiny bit bitter, like. which makes me wonder what is missing in his life.

then he goes on about growing vegetables and decorating, and i realise he has answered my question!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:11, Reply)

I don't think that is what you are saying.
which is backed up by your "however dull the law is" comment. You appear to be looking down on the sort of life that Al is living.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:15, Reply)

no, just on al
because he is so rude to/about everyone, so, you know.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:17, Reply)

to be fair to him though
they all deserve it most of the time. And I'd rather hear about vegetables and decorating.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:19, Reply)

ooh no
your 50's are for growing vegetables. your 20's and 30's are for being disgraceful. surely.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:22, Reply)

any time of life is the time for anything.
I think you may be missing the point of life. you should sort that out before it's too late.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:23, Reply)

this is not entirely true
it does depend what you like doing. eg if you are really into raves (which i am not), for example, you can't keep doing that in your 50's. you'd look like a dirty old paedo. so you should make the most of your weekends whilst you are young enough to go. don't miss the opportunity.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:26, Reply)

who cares how you'd look?
that's shallow. Do what you enjoy, regardless of what age.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 16:32, Reply)

everyone else there would care
and 50 year old tits are not going to look good in a neon pink crop top, however shallow that might be!
