Like a wasabi pea quality tit or not as good? ;)

Green, but hot?

Or small and bitter and gaudily packaged?

Oh, I give up :(

About ten years ago I had my worst, nastiest crash on Oxford Street, so I hate riding down it. Though looking back I used to ride like a bit of a tit. I should maybe forgive Oxford street for that one.

Knocking my hobby again are you?

It's nice to have a past-time.

Nope - reading novels, is what I said. It's not really the same as reading newspapers. What you want kids to get from reading at a young age is the pure joy of being immersed in a story, a narrative. The 'quality' of a story, for kids, anyway, is in many ways determined purely by how enjoyable it is. Reading for pleasure, as a child, interestingly, is apparently the single biggest indicator of social mobility. I read that in the Guardian ;-)

Dignity schmignity.

Better than staring at a wall while thoughts of death flit playfully across the waste land of your imagination.

Oh, I do agree that pseudo-(semi-?)literary ponces are worse. But it's a bit of a desperate dilemma to have to choose between the two. Then again, it was an argument in the pub. :)

The best type, Oliver.

Unfortunately my girly figure precludes the wearing of any sort of explosive belt and there is* no way* I am wearing a vest; simply hideous darling.

You are so old-fashioned. 'Mould them to your genitals' inside your underwear, obv.

I can't believe I just watched that whole thing :-s

We had Romans, Saxons, Picts, Celts, Danes and Angles. Bit weird now I think about it. I was a Roman. We had black badges. I think it was some sort of mark of Cain type thing.

well done sir- should elicit plenty discussion on sex-morality-partnership I would have thought.
Staffy pup with studded collar be acceptable?

Awesome. I'll set him on people who disagree with my interpretationz.

@Plurabelle.
good point well made actually. Getting the younger generation actually reading something is difficult enough today, personally Im going for indoctrinating as many as I can with bike related stories and not Rowlinginit or Madge.
some of those 'coming of age' novels are amazing, like Hesse "Narziss and Goldman" (I think that’s the title but its been a while) although sure many like Casteneda fit into a stage of the life cycle.
anyway, less drugs -more books.
good suggestion above, im going to relate the story of Tomas and Teresa during next available bedtime, but who can name the book?

Unbearable Lightness of Being, innit. Do I win a puppy?

I would walk that I reckon.

I had an argument in the pub about Harry Potter the other day that reminded me of this thread. If you can get a kid, or an adult for that matter, reading for pleasure, then they are further ahead than the posers who, when asked which books they like, list off the same fashionable, 'literary', sub-undergraduate authors with cool covers as all their mates that they never actually read but which they think that having on their shelves will make art-school girls want to do them.

At least the people reading harry potter books are enjoying them.

Many happy returns x

Sounds ghastly.

Oh I didn't says I wasn't grateful, and I do love recieving gift, however somehow at Christmas time (and noted I said Christmas), I have feel we've come so far to the point that we are more compelled to give gift for the sake of it to prevent hurting people feeling, last thing I want to do is to have relative giving me gift simply out of necessity, you see where am I going with this?

And a happy Christmas to you too!

Course I do! I'm just half-cut and argumentative. Chin chin.

I refused to ask for anything at Christmas, and made sure that I shouldn't, I don't need to recieved gift on Christmas Day, I find it rather depressing that the world is going to hell and we still used up a lots of precious resource just to fill their materialised need at Christmas time.

I do apologise for being a party pooper thought!

Who asks for things past their 15th birthday? I ask for nothing either, doesn't stop people buying me pointless ephemera. And to be ungrateful when it comes would be needlessly hurtful to some very generous people who can ill-afford it but for whom the act of gift-giving gives pleasure.

Happy fucking christmas ed :-)

I got nothing cycling related at all. I got a nice diary, some posh scants, a hairbrush and 50 squid.

And indigestion.

I imagine that's very fairly priced considering it will be an epic century, rather than a normal one, and probably moodily shot from interesting angles at various stages.

All drug-use should be heavily ritualised. Then we wouldn't need any laws.

My Dad used to roadie for the 'Quo, btw. Back when they were all hippy and shit.

I think the best song ever written about sex is the Milkshake song by Kelis. That is some sensual shit.

That was about sex? Stop talking shit.

Well it wasn't about a fucking milkshake, was it?

It was about felching, ffs.

Ha!

I am relatively mentally stable, and yet I have long known I can never take it again after that. In all seriousness.

Of course. Worst to the power of totally best.

I retired from acid aged fifteen after consuming two so-called 'double dipped' black microdots. The worst night of my life by quite a margin /nostalgia
