Recently bought some Oakley Frogskins in white, love them so much.

Did anyone go to the freebie gig at Rough Trade East this lunchtime?

Rejected. Bet the sour-faced coffin dodgers in the photograph are breaking out the special reserve custard creams.

I’m in it for the cake, the cycling is an unfortunate interruption as I travel between tea rooms.

It’ll be a useful location for the MOD to send squaddies to top up their tans after Afghanistan packs in.

I’ve seen snakeboards, ripsticks, ‘aggressive’ inline skates and countless other fads come and go…do him a favour and get him a skateboard.

Skateboarding never goes away, it outlasts everything. Sure, sometimes it goes underground for a while before hitting a wave of popularity again, but it’ll be around long after the stunt scooter goes the way of Scatch, Global Hypercolour t-shirts and the Betamax.

My grandad died in Belsen.

He got drunk one night and fell out of his watchtower.

TAXI!

As above, disgusting the amount that is thrown out.

There should be a way of matching the ‘surplus’ with local food banks in every town/city across the country.

Become homeless and move to an al fresco location near a branch of Pret a Manger.

As a research assistant working at CERN, the large hardon collider on the Franco-Swiss border, I have neglected the upkeep of my Wookie-esque man garden and pencil sharpener for several years – this has never been a problem before given that I naturally enjoy nothing more than taking part in full scale reenactments of Star Wars each weekend.

In order that one day I might be able to lure a non-male back to my mum’s house, I decided to invest in a tube of the above creme, and with laissez-faire gay abandon, began dunking my entire lower body in bath of veet and matey bubble bath.

Having regained consciousness from an induced coma a mere 5 days later I returned to work despite the gently pulsating patch of ultra dense biomatter that had formed where my foliage had been growing unchecked just a few hours earlier. Having of course completed the occupational health screening that is mandatory with this product, I resumed my role at the LHC, whereupon I was somewhat surprised to find that a small but distinct gravitational vortex had formed around my balloon knot.

Upon further investigation I was surprised to find that the contents of the creme have the same density and particle structure as anti matter, and are responsible for the creation of a gravitational singularity in my (now billiard-ball smooth) ringpiece, when in close proximity of the LHC, through which the known universe is likely to pass in the coming few hours.

In summary, a slightly more dignified option than a back sack and crack wax, offset by the distinct potential to cause the cataclysmic implosion of the universe and to end all life on earth.

Would buy again.

It’s pretty casual where i work now so I tend to wear my two pairs of Clark’s desert boots, though not at the same time

Vans Era in navy/black…pretty much universal.

I saw a lovely emerald green fixie (yeah, I know) the other day. It had this sort of sparkly paintwork and white rims. I found myself coveting one for the very first time.

Working 19.30 – 07.30 tonight.

I’ve been doing regular bursts of night shifts for the past 4 years. It’s bizarre how quickly your body becomes accustomed to it. My biggest tip would be try not to eat any hot food during the night shift, that used to give me horrendous indigestion.

I love Bayonetta!

Utterly deranged game, ludicrous amounts of fun though.

Just about to play some Left for Dead 2 before going to work.

O NOES, TEH EVIL TORIEEZZZZ!

Borrowing against your house was a calculated risk, though at least you did it for a worthy reason.

Plenty of other people did so because they simply had to have that new X5, marble kitchen, twice-yearly exotic holidays etc etc.
Do we really have to outsource personal responsibility for everything in this country?

No mayoral elections here. It seems like a waste of time unless the Mayor can wield real power akin to those in large North American cities. Even the London Mayor lacks power (which given the candidates may not be a bad thing), so I imagine equivalent posts in smaller cities would be even more pointless tokenistic figureheads.

Paedophilia is not a sexuality, it’s a perversion.

Yes, the push Eastwards must rank as the greatest military error of all time. Had it not been for that, the war would have been markedly different.

One other side-benefit is that you get to pretend that you’re a viper pilot from Battlestar Galactica if it activates.

Obviously it does little to guard against the real scourge of the roads, driver’s mate types who chuck their empty Coke bottles at you from the passenger windows of work vans :?

My ex-girlfriend was raped by a priest when she was in her early teens, she has never recovered from that ordeal.

My contempt for the RC church (the institution rather than the adherents) is beyond measure. Religions get away with so much, if it was any other type of organisation we would close it down and proscribe it.

Amazed nobody has launched a passionate defence of the dog yet or suggested that you abandon all other commitments whilst conducting a house-to house search of all local municipalities until you find it.

1) Gather all Guardian and Daily Mail readers in a big chalk-lined trench
2) Machine gun them
3) Carry on with a radically less moany population

Yes, a lot more since I got fast broadband

compositepro – Member

we cant do it alone though.

We used to however

Bit easier to do that with standing armed forces that were 3/4 times larger than at present.

Yes, but they knew that if they had invaded it would have removed any chance of David Hasselhoff playing an unscheduled Berlin date :D

JP Morgan Chase? Doubt it though!

4 Seconds too slow…

Inappropriate use of ‘myself’, ‘ourselves’, ‘yourselves’ etc etc

e.g At the meeting between yourselves and ourselves, we resolved to make more effort to keep the customer in touch with yourselves. They’ve been in contact with myself, but is there anything ourselves can do to assist you?

I hear that bollocks all of the time and it just screams out short-sleeved shirts and machine washable suits.

All points North of Oxford.

Skunk Anansie – May 1995 – Clapham Common

I remember wanting an H-Street so much…

My first deck was a boring old New Deal blank…it was a slick though which seemed pretty glam at the time.

On the topic of all things skate related, did you know that Think Skateboards are back from the dead?

They have a BRILLIANT new film out and the whole thing (26 mins) is available on You Tube courtesy of Thrasher:

Enjoy.

Cheers, the situation is far from ideal, all I can hope is that the dog doesn’t try and nosh anyone else. I’ll certainly
inform the police if it reappears, maybe a surprise visit in a month or so will net it?

I would suggest that you are the troll. But, I’ll probably receive my OBE before you get your C grade in GCSE English.

I did and your colleagues are aware of the incident, what they do (or more likely don’t) do now is down to them. If said dog magically reappears like some aggro version of Benji I’ll give them a buzz again.

Sorry, but if the police can’t be bothered why should I do more than I already have? I work two jobs, volunteer at a shelter and study for a Masters…I don’t have the time to play detective.

I work with the police and individually most are great, but on an institutional level they just can’t be bothered with this type of thing. Until dog attacking a down jacket becomes a sanctioned detection they’ll do nothing else.

Munqe Chick, I have reported it!

UPDATE: A PC went round for a chat and the guy informed him that the dog belonged to an ex housemate of his who had moved out and abandoned it (fancy that!), but at any rate said dog had ‘run away’ and wasn’t at the property. The thoroughly bored looking copper then explained that they weren’t about to stake out the guy’s house (nor would I expect them to) and that that would be that.

Am I surprised? Not really. So, the result of all this?

My car will probably get vandalised, I’m still out of pocket and that dog is still out there and a threat to the public.
I did the right thing, but I’m not surprised that many people don’t bother. Hopefully this chap will let sleeping (biting, surely?) dogs lie or else I imagine I’ll be replacing all four of my tires in the near future.

A massive Rottweiler, they’re just misunderstood.

Don’t wear a down jacket and you’ll be fine! :wink:

No doubt that the guy is a bit of a chopper, but I wouldn’t wish life in SuperMax on anyone.

Just to clarify, it was reported earlier today!
