Personally
I don't feel the need to join in with everyone else at a given time to remember our nation's war dead.

1) I fucking hate 'joining in' with a passion and
2) I'm already thinking about WWII most of the time anyway

There was one for Lady Diana.
Which was a bit puke inspiring.

The same Lady Diana
Who passed away the same day as Mother Theresa; who did thousands of better things for humanity than the princess. However, nobody does a minute silence for Mother Theresa.

I remember seeing Eddie Izzard doing standup, he said something like,
"Princess Diana dies and the world bursts into tears, my mum died when I was six and nobody gives a shit"

I disagree
I like Izzard, he's clearly intelligent, and I find him funny.

And as I've said in the past, I can understand why others don't like Noble, he is extremely hyperactive, but I quite like his comedy.

See I think that Diana was a slut
and Mother Teresa a hypocrite who was full of shit.

I think only one of them was honest about what they were.

I dislike being forced to do things, outside of the bedroom anyway.
I also find it hard to care about something that happened 100 years ago. I respect the fact that people laid-down their lives to fight for our country, but I don't really see the point in forcing people to think about it, be that by communal silences or newspapers making you feel bad if you don't. If this makes me a bastard, so be it.

so my colleagues bought me a selection of really fancy cheeses from neals yard.

this was a package from 2 friends who left recently. it's an absolutely massive cheese bomb, in the black wax.

i could actually open my own cheese shop. any london b3tans want to come over and eat their own body weight in different cheeses?????

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 12:29, Reply)

There's a level of smelliness
below which cheese is categorised as 'strong and tasty', but above which it is unpalatable, and vomit inducing.

That level varies for different people. My gran used to love stinky cheese, but my level doesn't extend much beyond extra mature cheddar.
