Sweet Home Alabama…bloody awful.

Amen. I had to play that in a shit covers band. That and that awful, long winded piece of shit Freebird. The latter is probably good if you’re a guitarist but that **** solo at the end – aaaargh!

On my last performance of that song, which was always the last song, at some point in the solo I drifted off into an image of me wandering off mid-solo and while passing the guitarist, giving him a gentle shove and watch him tumble over his Marshall, legs akimbo, guitar merely humming.

It’s true that the things you don’t do are what you regret the most…

Jeez, Mattyfez, you and your old man must get **** when you go over for a stay.

Kind of relevant…

“…it’s a deadly weapon.”

“Coooool…!”

Would’ve been my response if it’d been my first lesson.

Yes and the fact that sugary sweet things are delicious and lovely. Can’t get away from that.

Well, yes, you can. Sugary foods are only really tasty if you eat them on a regular basis. Stop consuming them even for a short period of time and I find they taste wrong, feel crap in the stomach and generally leave me feeling like shit. Same with a few food stuffs that aren’t all that good for you – stop eating them for a bit, return and you’ll put yourself off for life.

Well, it worked for me anyway. Folk lack self control, plain and simple, but will always find excuses and “science” to help explain away their inadequacy in this area. Probably because they’re sugar addicts.

Edit : I blame the 70s and the low fat diet as well as misinformation and a general dietary misunderstanding. The low fat diet was probably pushed by the sugar companies, though I have no evidence of that.

not sure how you can ram a bike, you are chasing, into a tree that requires the rider to have three days in intensive care and then actually argue you never intended to do real harm to them- well not convincingly anyway.

Yeah, obviously she was wriggling in court to attempt to get off or encourage some leniency. That little lunge just before the impact – she really had lost it and was definitely not thinking straight ’cause she almost hit the bloody tree!

🙂

Sorry, not funny really.

No treated stuff goes on my fire anymore. Maybe about 2 years ago but now I’ll use a pallet for kindling if I can’t get my hands on some pine trees to process. Has to be MB free, obviously, so have to check some foreign pallet stamps to be certain.

It’s not so much the smoke as the ash.

As in, look at me, look how healthy I am, I’m so much better than the fatties.

But what’s the problem with that? In the context of this thread he is better than the ‘fatties’.

TBH I think if this was a different poster you probably wouldn’t have a problem. IIRC someone called for some body images Edukator posted of himself to be removed. Smacks of jealousy to me…

See, Molgrips, your sensitivity on the whole diet issue is becoming legendary. 😉

Hey, man. Missed your posts.

That is all.

Muchos lolz, especially the comparison chart of harms.

But seriously, I’ve done very similar on more than one occasion. How I ever got away with it I’ll never know. As previously claimed, I’m quite lucky.

I have the ability to think before I act now so just shrug or at worst glare. Just not worth the potential consequences for either party, even with just fists it can go very wrong.

I thought maybe this was another thread about phimosis…

kicking a wing mirror..[is] daft

It’s just not necessary and if you do that then you have to expect folk to react regardless of who’s in the right. Not defending her actions in the slightest but if I’d booted off someone’s miror I’d expect a come back.

3 years, though she’ll probably do half that at most, is still a fair chunk of your life. If she’d have killed him it’d be a lot more, I would’ve thought.

Three finger tap on the Macbook reveals it’s derived from a Greek word meaning “muzzling“.

*winces*

Edit : Sorry, that’s phimotic not phimosis.

Sad to hear of your loss. I, too, am going through loss right now and finding it hard to do anything but shove it down with a sigh and carry on. What else can you do.

Had a health check last week and was asked a few questions about current mental health. Had a call from the doc and had checks since with a view to me being suicidal. I don’t really feel like that, more anger. Like, extreme **** anger. Again I just shove it down because what else can you do.

Apparently the warning signs were a quick tale of watching a friend drown and not reacting (age 7). The other, a few weeks later, a mate gets killed by a bus whilst cycling. I was there but didn’t see the impact as it was on the opposirte side to my view. At the time there was no support network (70s) and I never opened to anyone about it. I didn’t bury it but I didn’t ever discuss my feelings. I did the other day. I then discussed it with my partner who felt horrified I’d kept it under wraps for so long without detailed discussion.

Anyway, I could rattle on – long story short – it’s thought I suffered/am suffering with PTSD. I guess it explains the need I had to drink at 12 and the following history of drugs (something I always thought was done out of curiosity) not to mention self hate, anger and violence.

What I’m getting at is what others have said – trauma can be very delayed. Luckily we live in different times now and folk are aware of the need to address these things before they become a problem.

Good luck and again, sorry for your loss.

Predetermination – sort of put it all together before the reveal even down to her/him being their own offspring but enjoyable nonetheless.

I am a sucker for time travel films, tho…

Haven’t watched this yet but to be fair to the guy playing Shadow – yeah, sure, he’s not the most expressive of actors but if the book version of Shadow is anything to go by then ‘cardboard’ and ‘wooden’ are quite fitting.

Looking forward to it.

Newark to Grantham on A1; tailgated by DPD night trucker.

Used the tried and tested method espoused by Cougar – slow down, brake, speed up, slow down and repeat ad nauseam; Mr DPD got a little annoyed – repeated use of horn, flashing lights and generally threatening behaviour.

Window down to give him two fingers followed by speeding up and slowing down; pulled into layby and he followed, naturally, but I didn’t stop; drove slowly and then accelerated back onto the main road.

Made sure he could see me by driving relatively slowly and then…..repeating.

That was fun – always have 4 cell maglite to hand.

Some lorry/truck drivers are considerate and drive appropriately but many are nothing more than f***ing halfwits in a hurry.

The road isn’t the place for that kind of childish shit TBH. Behaving like that makes you no better than the driver you’re attempting to punish for bad driving. If a copper saw you doing it they’d probably do both of you and rightly so.

Some of you folk need to get a grip…

Clearly not driving like that as the STW Roadcraftsmen drive impecably, right.

Unless it was Stevextc closing the gap in case someone was thinking of pulling out of the slip and nicking his braking space.

…or rides a bicycle.

Good to read. Hope it continues for you.

@teasel – you know what’s said about windows phones, “there’s not an app for that”

I didn’t but probably because I don’t use a smart phone. Just a plain ol’ PC user here – a couple of rMBP 13 and 15. One for pleasure and one for…uh…musical pleasure.

Their higher priced models are well made

This is something that rarely gets pointed out – if you’re willing to spend similar dosh then there are some well made Windows equivalents – nice screens, metal case etc. When I got this little 13″ in 2014 there was a few models that almost swayed me, the HD size being the main deciding factor. The Retina screen at that point was also slightly ahead of the others, probably not so much nowadays.

White, too, for maximum effect…

two car lengths

That’s a bit lax – they get within one around these parts; small herds of ’em trundling along.

Dream fulfillment.

Going through grief at the moment. The only thing that’s tangible right now is immense anger, particularly around other folk.

I’ve cried enough in my life; reckon the tear ducts are shrivelled and worn out.

Edit : No kids so probably par for the course.

Glaswegian goes into a cake shop and asks “Is that a doughnut or a meringue?”. The lady in the shop says “No you’re right it’s a doughnut”.

🙂

Brilliant!

I was 37 before I read or wrote the word meringue on a public forum. When I did it was merange, of course.

I was mocked.

with no reason I could see for it having ever been reduced to 40 in the first place???

That doesn’t discount that there could have been something that was removed/crawled off the carriageway before you arrived. Perhaps some debris removed by the police before they shot off with it in their boot. Who knows – I doubt there’s some bod flicking a switch just for shits and giggles.

Worrying about the “no limit” perception, too…

Edit : Sorry, just banging on without reading Amedias’ post, who basically wrote the same thing. Consider yourself told, young man. 🙂

Superb typo. Conjures up a weird, hair-based massage/whipping experience.

Sorry, nowt useful to add – I’ve always been lucky in love. And cards. Life in general, actually. But I seem to remember a thread on this forum with a similar subject and someone’s advice was

go out, meet folk, get buff and meet new women.

So, I’m gonna guess that you’re already ripped (cos everyone on this forum is, right) and write that it’s cool to…

want to hit every club, tinder (the young blokes at work showed me that a while ago) and every dating site going.
