i've never quite understood
why thatcher attracts so much more hatred than everybody else from people our age. not why she attracts hatred, but why she was apparently the worst.

ok yes if you were working in mining or manufacturing at the time she closed the mines/factories down, but for people under 35 or even under 40, well, we were still kids then. so why is thatcher any worse than the shower of utter incompetents before her who raised taxes to 90% and caused stagflation and the brain drain? or the last lot, who dragged us into war on the worst of transparent pretences and created a deficit that it will take the next 3 generations to clear... and then decided the way out of it was to spend more public money?? i think they are all as bad as each other, they are all lying, self-serving incompetents, and they should all have their graves danced and defecated upon, regardless of party or policy!

I think it's because Thatcher had such bad hair.

you should see mine this morning
i got absolutely soaked in the rain last night and something about rainwater makes every single hair on my head (and i have very thick wavy hair) run around screaming "rebel! fight! stand upright! charge!"

i make maggie's helmet look like a vogue cover.

Well after spending the last 2 years growing mine long I now remember why I got it all cut off in the first place.

( girlinthehole, Sun 3 Oct 2010, 11:02, Reply)

but your new facebook photo is so pretty!
it is a pain in the proverbial though. mine is about collarbone length at the moment, and if i take it to the hairdresser or spend 90 mins conditioning and straightening or curling it, yes it looks very nice. if i don't... it looks like i have a judith on my head!

You don't have to grow it past your arse or anything.
The Greek told me I should grow mine because "I mean, look at that girl walking over there. See how her hair is all swooshy? Wouldn't you like that?" and wonders why his arse got dumped.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 3 Oct 2010, 11:24, Reply)

a lot of men
do like long hair. not all men - my dad and my brothers all preferred it when my mother/their other halves had the chop. but then when you grow it, they do nothing but whinge because it takes you so long to get ready!

the greek sounds like a bellend, what a stupid thing to say.

God bless him.
We only dated for a couple of weeks. Five in total if you count his holiday to greece where I had already decided to dump him on his return BEFORE he'd departed.
He still wonders why I had the audacity not to attach myself to him like an obedient and appropriately-coiffured kitten.

What do you think of long hair on a man? I love mine but sometimes I get temptedto chop it
as it's not particularly cool.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 3 Oct 2010, 11:38, Reply)

It's not cool past a certain age generally
Some people carry it off because you simply cannot imagine them with short hair.
I prefer my boyfriend with short hair, but if he wanted to grow it again it's his business. If it got past Cat Stephens' length though, I think I'd have trouble appreciating his good looks as much as I do now. I think too much hair clouds a man's handsomeness.

Nonononononono, long hair for you, deffo.
You with short hair, your hair doesn't add any points, but you with long hair and it does add a few points, I'd say at least 2, maybe 3... so that'll put you up at least a 7.

I was born long after World War Two, but I'm not too fussed on Hitler. Ya dig, homez?
Besides, despite only being 32, I recall only two well how things were in the inner cities during the Thatcher years.
In fairness, I regard all successive leaders of this country with equal contempt. They seem to have this "Well I'm not as bad as Thatcher..." approach, and it's simply not true. They have her to thank though.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 3 Oct 2010, 11:03, Reply)

aye... hitler killed people
and blair's war killed people. this is my maths for thinking he is worse than thatcher simply for the sheer number of people who died and will die because of his poodlewar. which none of us voted for. and the fact that at some point there will be a horrendous terrorist attack inspired by it. but mostly the fact that he used to grin like a freshly buggered schoolboy but now he is old and haggard he just looks like the devil.

when thatcher croaks i'll think, meh. when blair croaks, i'll come in my pants with glee. especially if he takes his ghastly gurning duckfaced wife down with him. although as he is the devil i'll probably be about 137 by then.

It's not about numbers
The Falklands killed people. It was a load of balls too. People died who shouldn't have died. I don't think people should be converted into 'maths' or 'collateral damage'.

And Blair can piss off as well, I haven't forgotten that tuition fees were passed under a 'Labour' Government.

it's been said before, but a b3ta government would wipe the floor with any politicians we've had before. you'd have to be in charge of homeland security though, rootaholmes!

i do agree that people shouldn't be stats, but somehow i can't help feeling iraq/afghanistan are worse than the falklands. probably because i am now old enough to understand the reports, which i wasn't for the falklands, but also because i have a few friends in the army who say we have no idea how dreadful we have made it for the people living over there and that the press only reports 10% of it.

I have never voted Labour or Conservative. I would only vote Labour tactically if, like my nana, I lived in an area where the BNP were looking lively.

the constant fake puppetry
never ceases to amaze me. i would just have this thing in my brain saying "er, dude, this is really weird. step away from the computer."

i was in court the other day when the BNP were protesting about the plans to shelve them. i was just looking at them all thinking, ok freedom of speech etc, but... you might as well all have the same banner/placard screaming RACIST TWAT RIGHT HERE.

also the melee of people and press made me late, bastards.

Oh apparently the constant fake puppetry and carefully-detailed fake lives are just a harmless joke
and WE'RE the suckers.

I had a cracking little shout at the BNP yesterday. Was fun. Our branch only have one proper thug, and one very angry man who is fortunately very skinny and only thumps the occasional student.
Therefore I'm not a bit scared. My dad said "Pah, in my day they had Alsatians. And they still got battered."

it's tricky
because i do believe that anyone should have freedom of speech. but then when they use it to spout shit that makes me want to use my pink boxing gloves on their crotches... i think you did the right thing by yelling back. excellent work.

i simply can't understand it. if you want to take the piss out of people (bert) or to describe your perfect life (wbm), how can you not see that ultimately it's STILL FAKE.

They're sneaky too
They used the guise of an anti-war 'support our troops, bring them home' demo to reel idiots in and get signatures on clip-boards.

Much as wbm might use something like "I woke up with her this morning tangled in the bedsheets, and I can't wait for the rest of my life." to make us think "Wow, if she can create Roger, she must be a swell gal"
or Bert might ask a completely 'innocent' question about Monty's ex-bird in order to vent some hatred.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 3 Oct 2010, 11:45, Reply)

and yet
the meatpuppetry seems so much worse, somehow.

the clue with roger was that it was all too perfect. there was once a toolbag on here who targeted me a couple of years ago. said he was a doctor, a cancer specialist at that and i should get my best friend whose mother was dying to call him as he "might know a new drug". he sounded perfect in every way, but after a while, everything was just too cheesily perfect, you know? then his sister was hit by a drunk-driver and fell into a coma (which he knew had happened to my mother before she had died a few months previously, the coma not the drink-driving thing) it all fell apart. for example, he didn't just have tickets to the rugby world cup, his mother had surprised him with front row seats and a suite at the ritz.

so this sort of thing aroused suspicions and after a bit of sleuthing, it turned out he was a mobile phone salesman who never had a sister. he still posts on here but not very often at all, so it seems ok to talk about it now...

Don't they realise that it's fine to be a mobile phone salesman
or a sister-molesterer, or an accountant, or even mad cow who sleeps in the bath, so long as you're comfortable with yourself.
Pretending to be someone else to the extent of talking about your daily routine in great detail indicates that you are a) insane and b) deeply unhappy with who you are. None of the bile directed at us will ever make you happy because we're just internet folk. You shouldn't care about us enough to sit and devise this shit.
