Righto.
I object to working for a living. I really do. A few generations back the idea would have been unthinkable (even for me as the second son) and I resent it hugely.

I couldn't agree more
it's outrageous that we have to spend so much of our time working

ARGH!
I just sent off an application for a job I REALLY want and fear I won't even get an interview for. EEK!

That's the kind of job I would never resent (at least for the first year or so)

There isn't a job on earth I actually want to do.
When I was asked at school what I really wanted to do, my answer was (and still is) 'go on the Grand Tour'.

i find without work
I get all undirected and mopey. Then I spend hours on here and get to the end of each day feeling unfulfilled. Not that talking to people on here is essentially fulfilling..but...well..you know

I consider work a massive imposition and inconvenience
I'd far rather spend the day quaffing claret at my club.

You'd better be tugging your forelock right now.

Why not?
It's just a bit of harmless fun.

Nicely whined by two idiots who spend all day on here.

That's called clawback.
If I really do have to attend a fucking job, at the very least I feel obliged to spack around on here all day to redress the balance somewhat.

Clawback!
Sounds like an arch nemesis.

sounds like a minor He-Man villain.

It is the arch nemesis of all commission based sales people

if I was actually challenged a little more by my job then I might not spend so much time on here
:-P

Quite so, dear boy.

You two seem pretty challenged to me.

I shall overlook your rudeness on this occasion.

I am prepared to be lenient for a first offence.
But if she persists, so help me God I shall have her horsewhipped in the town square, as an example to other would-be miscreants.

No one's whipping me with a horse.

It's the only way you'll learn.
Never did me any harm. Made me the man I am today*.

You're getting soft in your dotage
If I were you, I would already be consulting the Marquis de Sade. His 120 Days of Sodom is an excellent guidebook for inventive punishments for persons with no manners.

I haven't actually read it, to my shame.
TOO BUSY LIVING IT, YO.

Superb read, laugh out loud funny as well that could be seen as a blueprint for modern day Internet nastiness.
The image of someone fucking a goats nostril while it lapped his balls, is one that will stay with me for a long time.

I might get it from Amazon.
I'm looking for an antique Mein Kampf as well.

Go for it, you won't regret it
Get that and Aleister Crowleys 'Diary of a Drug Fiend' with its ultra modern themes and issues and MASSIVE DRUG abuses.

Ever read
Thomas de Quincey's 'Confessions of an English Opium Eater'? It's rubbish - Robin Askwith's not even in it.

No, I haven't fortunately
I can only assume he was tryin to rip off 'The Beast' himself with a title like that.
(, Tue 17 Aug 2010, 15:46, Reply)
Unlikely: he wrote it in 1821

(, Tue 17 Aug 2010, 15:47, Reply)
Fair do's
The Beast must have been doing the ripping off. No one was going to pull him up about it though.
