do you prefer to shop online or in store?
I like going to the store and looking at things and touching them, or trying them on before buying.
But after searching all over the local stores, I've been able to buy a cd I want [Best Coast]
So thanks to a random gift card I've not been able to buy it online.
Yay.

Alt: Fancy dress partys, tell me about them. We'd decided Princess and Jersey themes are out, unless I'm being "ironic" [thanks al]. I've moved to a 50s/greaser theme.
What's your favorite way to dress up?

I miss flicking through boxes of records
Whether it is looking for something specific, or buying one just because it has a cool cover.
Sadly there are no record shops round here anymore.
Shopping online is dangerous as there are no limits but your imagination. If you are searching for something, someone somewhere will be selling it. Also there are fewer surprises because you can listen to most stuff before you buy it now anyway. It kind of takes away the magic of discovering new stuff.

You wouldn't believe the fucking trouble I've had over the last two days with video that I didn't even try to steal.
Trying to rip some DVDs to my Creative Zen has been an absolute ballache. I think I've finally managed it now though, so I'm happy.

I think my somewhat rambling point here is that I usually steal music and have no trouble putting it on my ipod, but content I've actually paid for gives me a boxload of karmic ass-kicking.

That's how may voted Tory in 92 ( and 13.8 Million in 87), a number that still stands as a record for any party.
That would include my mother, who was brought up in a state of absolute (yes ,not just relative) poverty in the 60's. She nearly died several times through out her childhood due to having no heating in her council house. She often starved and never got any Christmas presents and new clothes. She failed her 11+ and stared work at 14. They never had a TV, just a wireless+ small record player.
Yeah, she was fucking loaded!
When Thatcher came along, she brought a house, got a car, went on foreign holidays,worked hard, and never struggled again.

Also locked the nation into an cycle of wasteful, endless and absolutely pointless wars,
and turned the education system into a bureaucratic exercise where pupils take exams for exams' sake rather than receiving a useful education; a system where privileged pupils can be coached by private tutors into getting straight A*s all the way though and still come out knowing nothing and being about as useful as a glass hammer.

I agree with your point about him not being as bad as Thatcher, but he's got a bloody long charge sheet as far as I'm concerned.

I'm very textual, I litterally can spend hours rubbing a bit of silk between my fingers with my thumb in my mouth (I don't "suck my thumb", it's more, I hold up the top part of my jaw with my thumb)...
... but not all silk is equal, it can't be too big a piece, or too small, and it needs an edge that is contrast in texture (such as on a label where they melt the edge of it). Pure silk isn't always right eaither. Marks'n'Sparks and BHS do the best ones. A lot of the time after a month or soo the texture is no longer right for this, and eventually it'll wore off the print. I also love soft and furry textures, such as an animal or fleece. I actually chose those couches based on the texture primarly.

I'm going to buy a Slanket on payday and some silk PJs, 'cus that'll be the ultimate feeling of snug to me, I can't imagine feeling any nicer than with that, after a nice hot bath, with something good but naughty to eat.
