When was the first time you got really legless, totally smashed, rat-arsed?
Where were you?
What were you drinking and what happened?
I can't remember - and that has been a recurring theme ever since

Just read all of this at once, have been away. I think its absolutely mint that anyone could think that because a single guy probably stole something it means that all single guys are likely to be like that. I'm genuinely amused, not offended in any way as a single guy - it just reinforces my view that there are a lot of silly peopl out there!!
I have a red one - Justice for the 96, its a Hillsborough disaster one. At first I thought people were just trying to be trendy and showing off but then I realised that the recipients of charity are not interested in the intentions of the donor, just the aid itself. So yes, a good thing especially if it encourages people who wouldnt normally donate to charity to do so

You're not originally a village idiot are you?
Ouch! Touchy aren't you James.
Is that pre-match nerves or is it because you don't have a clue what I'm on about?
I see you want the Olympics in London. Why don't you build the new Analfield there too then all your fans won't have far to travel.
Yes, I am touchy. One reason is prematch nerves and another is that I don't like the Chuckle Brothers. Interested to know who you support Scandal?

the aim was to make ur country proud
we can come across millions of reasons why we should not get it
but then are we making ourselves proud..
i am in the country for a short stay and i dont think i iwll be here in 2010 to watch those games as i will be sitting back in africa but
when i know london did win the bid i would feel proud just coz i voted for it
thanking the city where i live
so reason being good or bad once the country has decided to bid lets just back it up
Olympics or no Olympics, what makes me proud is that people visiting the country want whats best for it - as above. Cheers Azappo
The best answer is 'Yes, why not, lets celebrate our identity;
The worst answer is the far too common one 'Why should we celebrate the Scots Welsh and Irish days and not ours they're bloody taking over the place, cant put a Georges cross up without being called racist its a disgrace' etc etc ad nauseam
Why not just be quietly proud that England is such a wonderfully tolerant and cosmopolitan place that so many diverse cultures and nations want to live here? That, to me, is patriotism in the truest sense of the word.

Bumping up just to say good luck to Parrot and to Kristof too. Gave up about a year ago after being a heavy smoker. The secret is to look at people smoking and not think 'I'd love one' but think 'Wow, poor guy/girl, I'm so proud of myself that I dont have to do that any more'

i'm not saying this cause i'm a brummie.
but the best location for it would be near the NEC site... spitting distance from the airport, railways and a major Motorway network... plus the fact its the centre.
but as like every thing.... its gotta be in london!.... remember the up roar when crufts moved to the midlands!
Jiggle
Crufts went to the Midalnds? And there was I thinking it was the other way round and Birmingham had gone to the dogs

I hesitate to post in a controvertial thread that's not related to swinging, but this is the biggest waste of taxpayers money to happen in East London since the millennium dome.
The whole thing makes me sick.
I agree but for different reasons.
London and the South has had far too much spent on it.!! The games should be held up north and to do that the goverment needs to invest far more up here, there by allowing Manchester or another major Northern city to put in a viable bid.
Depravation is far worse up here than down South!! A reasonable working infrastructure is our first need.
Hmmm, well the last comparable event in the UK was the Commonwealth Games - in Manchester. Can't think of anything in London in living memory (well mine anyway) apart from Euro 96 which was just the one sport

No disrespect but this is a message to all you small minded people. I know this kind of thing isnt too common but whats with all the shit the new people get. Just because you regulars get to know the other regulars, whats to say that somebody new isnt as keen and honest as yourselves everybody does everything for the first time so give them a break will you.
how do n00bs get a hard time here? I'm a n00b-queen here and still haven'y got a hard time... c'mon peeps! why do all the other n00bs get the fun? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I had a hard time (amicably resolved) yesterday. I managed it by being spiky and rubbing people up the wrong way. Cant recommend it enough

Can I just say that as a very new member I am learning swiftly that a) 90% of posts are piss-takes and b) it is very difficult to tell what tone some posts are meant to be posted in. (I have been misinterpreted and taken too seriously already)Therefore, is it not fair to say that peeps should think twice before jumping on bandwagons and condemning people who might just be taking the piss?
The PM facility helps a lot with that. It is, as you say, easy to misinterpret, and a quick private message can often clear up misunderstandings. (Sometimes it can make them worse, but hey, that's life ;) )
So that's what PM's are for!!
I though they were so that the various cliques on here could keep up a whispering campaign about the people who don't fit in!!!

Thanks Ice, I don't care what people say about you, I think you're alright

Am expecting of a deluge of 'you're too new, you dont know what it was about etc' but to be honest I dont care if I'm new and in fact think it means I have no prejudices - therefore in a great position to comment.
PS In case you were wondering, that was a serious post. I think. I dont know if I can do serious but I certainly know I'm no fan of over-zealous political correctness!
