Wispa Gold was excellent, but soooo sweet it made your teeth cry. Wasn't there some evil Wispa mint too? AN experiment too far in my opinion. Once bought a "special edition" Kit Kat Caramac. Kit Kat: good, Caramac: good, Kit Kat Caramac: Not so good. What is the king of the "special edition" chocolate bar?

and a bullet to the back of the head of all slow-walkers please.

I'll bring some books I haven't read then, so at least I'll have something to swap if it's just me.

B U M P ! Old books for new.... It's this wednesday Forumites.

Too right. I would imagine that about 90% of the music listed on this thread is completely un-listenable to all but the most hard-core "muso". This week I am mostly listening to The Best of Disney. Hakuna Matata everybody (it means no worries)!

Mrs Birdseye and the Birdlings reported seeing it this morning. Proper albino apparently, red eyes n'all.

It's good isn't it?

Let's say Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at the Clockhouse then. I'll change the title of the thread later today unless there is a mutiny in the next few hours. Rules are you can bring a maximum of 5 books, so those who stay longest aren't lumbered with 27 copies of the Book Thief come the end of the night.

"Not long now til lunacy," what's all that about then? Is this deeply satirical, or could they not think of anything else that rhymed?

Lovely vignettes from the Daily Mash: "We don't expect everyone to become a regular churchgoer, but it would be nice if you could turn up from time to time and humour us while we go through our voodoo nonsense." and "Charlie Reeves, who was married in a village church last month, said: "It was lovely. There was even a moment, with the choir singing and the sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows when I pondered the concept of a supreme being, and then I thought, 'nah, it's all bollocks - I wonder what time I'll be getting my end away'.""

I'm mystified as to why people should be angry about being thought of as selfish with regards to wanting/not wanting kids. You are selfish whether you want children or not because the decision is entirely about you and not about the people you are (not)bringing into the world. Being selfish shouldn't automatically be seen as something that is bad.

Paperclips and Bulldog Clips: where are we in late 2008 (around tea-time)?

I'll let you off then. B)

Thanks Moos, the ginger community appreciate your support. Tony: your card has been marked...

and gingers!

...and Ratty's children will be paying for your state pension (unless they've been scrapped by then) :)

Alan Partridge Quote: "Wings, the group the Beatles could have been".

Tessa Jowell's office contacted me to let me know that they "have contacted the local councillors and also Southwark to add Tessa Jowell's image to the wall." The results are attached...

Although I love the Beatles, I can't help but blaming songs (or anthems) like Let it Be and Hey Jude for giving us the likes of Oasis, Coldplay and Snow Patrol. And how about Lennon: a reassessment. His Beatles work is amazing, I still love "in My Life" after 1000s of listens. But his post-Imagine output really ain't all that. That dreadful song about Sean, jesus wept no! And it sounds like the guy was something of a grade-A tosser. However his assasination has seen him deified (John Lennon Airport? Why?). Face it, if he was still around there would definitely have been a Frog Chorus equivalent, perhaps a Disney soundtrack with his mate Elton John...

Band on the Run is a great album, especially the closer, 1985. As a kid I quite liked Pipes of Peace, especially the video of the WW1 Xmas football match.

Is it OK to use the word "Numpty"? It's one I'm particularly fond of, but would hate to think it was actually offensive to anyone...

So you think it's OK to use a woman's sexual organs as a derogatory term? ;-) Complaining about the hijacking of the word 'Gay' is sweetly ironic. I wonder if there was all this broo-ha-ha years back when people realised they could no longer admit to being in a gay mood?

James, to be fair, having followed this thread closely you seem to be doing more word-twisting than anyone else. You've (whether deliberately or not) misconstrued a lot of arguments and taken them to be direct attacks. Read them again with a calm, rational head on and you may find you've been overly defensive when in essence pretty much everyone is agreeing with you.

Think it was PGC's, it was a preview copy with an odd cover. I have your Book Thief though, seeing as you swapped it for one in nicer nick!
