Super DiT and me did the good samaritan bit this morning
and helped out a 90 year old lady who fell over a step and possibly broke her hip. We called an ambulance and waited with her until they arrived whilst generally keeping her smiling.

Have you done anything nice for someone else today or if you’re not feeling too nice at the moment, have you done something particularly eeeeevil today?

On holiday last week
We were driving to Hay On Wye, and we picked up a couple of entirely-dressed-in-beige-canvas hippies who were going there too.

They smelled a bit like joss-sticks,
And were talking about "freedom is like a river" quite a lot.
I couldn't be bothered to point out that a river is fairly well-constrained by it's banks.

ah, but freedom is like that too
and then you get a sudden deluge of airborne freedom droplets at which point freedom rises from its banks and fucks up your house.

This is true.
They were angling for a lift back too.
We politely declined.
They invited us to the pan-pipe concert that they were organising though.

what did you think of Hay?

Not bad.
I got one book, ha!
( Cawl, Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:11, Reply)

think I bought none when I was there
I have trouble with bookshops, and music shops. When confronted with books or cds en masse all knowledge of what I want to buy, or even what I like goes out of my head.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:12, Reply)

Yeah, same as.
Unless I clearly know what I'm looking for, I end up getting overwhelmed.
( Cawl, Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:14, Reply)

that's exactly it
I have a couple of lists of books these days so I don't forget.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:15, Reply)

Hahaha I do that too
I have a tendency to forget the names of authors but remember the name of the book, which isn't much help really!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:20, Reply)

its not
particularly in a second hand shop, and I read too much to be able to buy new books.

my lists at the moment are almost exclusively "as recommended by b3tans"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 Aug 2009, 11:21, Reply)

Hehe I read a lot too but am not sure where a good second hand book shop is
so I tend to buy off Play.com or Waterstones. B3ta is very helpful for recommendations I have to say!! :)

buy used off amazon
postage isn't particularly cheap unless you get a bunch of books from the same seller, but I've had books that look new for 1p.

greenmetropolis.com is a good site too.

Oooooh cool
I'll give greenmetropolis.com a go! Thanks!

I've stopped using Amazon because of their sodding postage costs!! Bloody bum heads!

I fail to understand why you would take her home
if she immediately spilled that stuff to you. not because of the stuff necessarily, but because she shared it so readily.

Well I'm just back from the toilet
And this "hardman" type came out of the cubicle and hit the button on the soap dispenser with some hardman gusto. In a beautiful scene that I wish I could have recorded and played back in slo-mo the soap dispenser detaches from the wall the top flies off and the guy is hit by a perfect arc of 2 litres of liquid soap. I quickly dried my hands and left. It was 10 minutes ago and I'm still giggling.

I'm never doing anything nice again
because however nice you are to people they inevitably end up being a selfish twatface who doesn't give a tiny rats ass about you.

In the "not answering the question properly" vein I gave Lab the food parcel sent from Ma T yesterday even though I have no food in the house and really wanted to eat it myself
