sounds like you’re just old and grumpy with no coherent argument.

*Whistles*

Did your ex object to hypocrisy too?

I just wonder how he hears so many women talking about weddings. If he does how he’s never heard they getting married but sime how are having a wedding

Bollocks to English translator anyone?

I’m 30 and having a lovely time, thanks.

How’s life going post-failed relationship?

Agree with mrmo.

People have rushed into marriage too easily, for too long.

I seldom hear young women talking about marriage or how they can’t wait to get married. Conversely, I’m forever hearing them talking about weddings!
That’s where the focus is, that one day. Spurred on by the ludicrous celebrity culture, young couples who in many cases had little money to begin with are spending £20-30K on their ‘perfect day’.

Starting married life not just skint, but in debt, seems pretty stupid to me. A lot of young men seem to have abandoned the idea of marriage entirely. Certainly amongst my male friends (26-33), few if any of them can envisage getting hitched before the age of 35 at the very earliest.

I’ve got a Finisterre Etobicoke (Primaloft rather than down) and a Penfield Outback down vest.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend either of them.

Sounds good 5lab, much obliged

Not if they’re telescopic.

Besides, you’re going skiing! If you want to save money, make a load of rolls during breakfast and sneak them out in your pockets, thereby saving yourself a veritable fortune up the hill.

Pubs, bars clubs….open to anything really. Just want to drink til’ 2/3 or so, if possible.

‘Pierced nips or hood, the sex will be good’…as my old mother used to tell me.

Based on an extensive sample of errr….1 girl with pierced nips, I believe that to be correct.

I saw Therapy when they toured with The Wildhearts 5 years ago, a great night!

My friend is going to the Troublegum gig in London, wish I was going too.

Definitely utilitarian in origin.

Police officers, railway workers and postmen seemed to be the early adopters. Punks, mods and skins made them their own at various points along with indie rockers and then along came grunge/riot grrrl (during your DM era).

Fashion is nothing if not cyclical.

Because, when I’m lounging about at Starbucks in my skinny Levi’s, New Balance trainers and two-tone American Apparel zip-up hoody, flicking through the latest issue of Wire and pretending to be a vegetarian in a doomed effort to pick up an art student, it really blows the whole deal when I pull out a Dell.

A pretty girl in DMs is truly a sight to behold!

The situation with DMs is that the mainstream line are manufactured in Vietnam/Thailand now and have been for a few years. The consensus is that quality has deteriorated significantly.

Conversely, they now have a spin-off ‘Made in England’ line that are a fair bit more expensive than the regular ones. On the plus side they are even better than the old pre-SE Asia DMs.

Finisterre Anabatic.

Maiden never went away.

Phenomenally popular band.

I’m going to see the Wedding Present on the Bizarro tour too, 19th Nov at the 02 in Bournemouth.

Then Atari Teenage Riot the next night and Al Murray the night after that.

On one side there’s a lovely couple from Devon who bake me things and are always offering to help me with the garden.

On the other side there’s a biker, nice enough guy, but keeps himself to himself. He has some enormous friends who pop around every now and again to do biker type stuff in the back garden.

My flat used to be occupied by a working girl, I’ve had a couple of visits from confused looking gents who’ve made their excuses and left. One of them propositioned my ex, asking her if she was ‘new’ when she answered the door!

In common with most, I will never understand why some people are prepared to take potentially life ending risks in order to overtake or get to work 30 seconds quicker.

The recklessness is breathtaking. They usually regard themselves as good drivers, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

I estimate there to be somewhere in the region of 10-20% of drivers who should have their licences permanently revoked, with immediate effect.

Basics like mirror, signal and manoeuvre are becoming a lost art. I’m almost surprised to see anyone using a roundabout correctly these days and you come to expect utterly unhinged driving at every junction.

Is it acceptable to own bombers with bombers?

I used to date a girl who liked me to hold her down, tweak her nipples and call her a bitch.

I had no moral qualms about doing this, she was a bitch.

:twisted:

So yes, torture is justified when in the company of up for it women.

Very nice indeed.
I think some custom “specialized Bitch” stickers would be great!

Arise/Chaos AD era was so good, pity they went downhilll later.

The Black Keys?

You make it sound like a Municipal Waste/Lamb of God/ Infa Riot triple header!

:p

Buy a Pitch Pro and some coil Lyriks, then remove the stock forks and sell them.

Should end up coming in a couple of hundred quid under budget.

I work for the probation service and was once reprimanded for using the term ‘junky’.

I’ve been referring to them as ‘heroin enthusiasts’ ever since :twisted:

Some seriously iffy bicycle shaped objects are the transport of choice for a lot of our guys. One of them rides quite a well maintained Rockhopper though.

Post Lardcore

Orange 5

Chips and mayo.

Actually, throw in a currywurst too and a bread roll for the whole Schnell Imbiss experience.

It should be so much better than it is.

I took a chocoholic there on a first date once, she seemed to think it was really good though.

In the unlikely event that said Italian fox actually liked him, he’d blow it just as soon as she asked him what his favourite Ramones album was.

Well, you read the Guardian so presumably, you’re offended by absolutely everything anyway.

:wink:

Yes, I volunteered assisting 9 adults with learning disabilities.

I did it for a year and a half, 15-20 hours per week, it was great, Only stopped due to the fact that my hours in my regular job increased and I found I was routinely working a 65-80 hour week!

Am searching for a new opportunity now.

I remember when that trend first started, circa 1992.

It was the era of ‘tech’ skateboarding, small wheels and massive jeans.
I remember New Deal used to make some that would comfortably fit one person in each leg!

It looked ridiculous of course and yes, I was guilty of this through most of the 90’s.

However, you can sort of understand it with baggy jeans, often a waist size or two too large for you. I just don’t get why people are doing the same with skinny jeans, it really does look stupendous, particularly when coupled with one of those beanies that hangs off the back of your head like a condom on a flaccid cock.

Compose a heartfelt letter in which you express all of your hopes and fears, then wrap it around a brick and throw it through the office window.

Les Arcs is a one stop shop, literally all things to all people.

You can’t go wrong there.

For a minute there I thought that Ned’s Atomic Dustbin were performing at a fireworks display, which would be great!

HP Sauce on bacon sandwiches and shepherd’s pie.

They used to have this really nice Heinz tomato ketchup with Tabasco ready mixed in Canada, it was called Heinz Kicker or something.

Am quite partial to Reggae Reggae on chicken too.

‘Niche to see you, to see you, niche’

‘Downhillers like 8 inches between the legs’

That sort of thing?

TAXI!
