Breaking Decency Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Somebody used this to me today. I did not realise at the time that it had become common. She will be getting told tomorrow. Up there with Yaldi in the incredibly shit patter stakes. I thought it was only attention seeking teenage girls that said it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Why is Tony Robinson doing it? Terry did a brief introduction but such is the nature of his particular Alzheimer's (Posterior Cortial Atrophy) he cannot focus on written texts very easily or for long and written words on the page "disappear". Hence Tony read the bulk of Terry's written speech. Terry Pratchett forgot it was on. I hope you come to wish you'd forgotten to post that! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraser_smfc Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I thought it was only attention seeking teenage girls that said it. That's my view on it. Or by comic book nerds that use phrases such as "FTW". I only use it in an ironic sense to rip the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Whit phrase are we talkin about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyTillIDie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If you didn't realise that I was taking the piss in my first post then fair enough, but after reading my second and still not appreciating my tone means that something is drastically wrong with you. Seek help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking Decency Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Okay, thanks for the advice there. Now back on your high horse before it rides off.

Gordon EF Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I was at Banshee Labyrinth on Friday night. We were the first people in the bar at the bottom. More people came in, then a big group came and went. After they left, I noticed 5 pieces of paper lying on the table. They were tokens for a free drink from a backpackers tour. I took them up to the bar and got 5 drinks for free. I used that as my round and saved myself a nice wee amount. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've been really bored today in work and have managed to eat all of my dinner before I actually go on my dinner. Now, I need to go out of the office and go buy more food. Gets me out, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The DVD I ordered for my daughter's birthday was despatched yesterday, according to Amazon. So it should be here in today's post. If it isn't, it should be in Wednesday's post, which will leave me about an hour to get home, unwrap and re-wrap it and get round to hers! This is the most tense I've been for weeks! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Heads up, people: BBC1 10:35 this evening. The Richard Dimbleby Lecture 2010: Shaking Hands With Death Sir Terry Pratchett discusses how modern society deals with death. Its should be highly entertaining and informative and I thoroughly recommend it, particularly if you are studying humanities or medical ethics. Enjoy!

Deco Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Gets you fat too. Indeed it does. But I think I can get away with it though. I've taken a week off from boxing to give my body a rest, been training really hard recently so I'm allowed to eat like a pig for a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_binos Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm in the process of applying for a cracking job. However, the nag to this is I would miss a couple days uni and it might have an effect on my coaching. The job itself is 5 days over 7 between the hours of 10-4. If was fortunate enough to get it, hopefully they would be pretty flexible regarding my hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't in yesterday's post. It should be in today's. I am now getting rather concerned. This is not available publicly, it's only for those who are already in the waiting room. I'm still in my forties FFS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
