Same here on the taboo thing - I used to tell a young girl that I worked with that it sounded so nasty when she said it. Then a few years later when my boss decided to sell the business to someone who didn't want a conveyancer and he'd arranged my departure behind my back (and the bloke didn't buy the business in the end anyway) I went down on the prom and called him the 'c' word over and over again and then I never looked back after that but I do still think of it as the ultimate swear word. Gareth (Blob) never really swore much but he's the only person I've heard say someone was a f'ing c (could have been QPR related) that sounded like it just tripped off the tongue with his accent. We have 'tuss' in this neck of the woods which doesn't seem to be widely used as Gareth hadn't heard it before?
I had a Cadbury cream egg the other day and I don't think it tasted the same as it used to but not an improvement. Had another one and the same thought. Lindt do a milk chocolate coconut bar that you can't seem to get in this country and I dare to suggest it is the best chocolate bar ever. Chocolate at breakfast - only if it's Coco Pops
I was trying to work out whether the games at the bottom make it mathematically impossible but it was beyond my maths skills -that earlier one and also Cardiff v Oxford, Hull v Derby, Portsmouth v Hull, Derby v Stoke I think over the course of the last games?
Same here. I think I've told the tale on here before of leaving the fair and finding a stash of soft toys that someone must have won and didn't want just sitting there waiting to be claimed. Ran off with them, jokingly, across the road, tripped over a step and found myself hurtling towards the pavement at break neck speed with no chance of saving myself unless I threw the toys up in the air in a comedy style dive. They all landed on me so I couldn't be identified - I think. Last time I wore high heels - and they weren't even stilettos merely a high wedge - trip trapping down the main road turned a corner at the post office and blam I was splatted on the floor. I still don't know how it happened. Again I think I'd just got out of sight of the main road so blushes mainly spared and high heels abandoned for ever. I've done some pretty fancy footwork outside of Boots when it was raining and they had a slippy tile surface outside. Tried to save myself a few times but the footwork was just getting faster and faster until I fell into some young man's arms, thanked him for saving my life and walked off with what little dignity I could muster. The worst one was about five years ago when I forgot we had a metal rail at work where the gate went across as I was too busy waving to a couple of work colleagues, crashed over it, hit a manhole cover full on and broke bones all the way down the top right side - that one hurt but I managed to stop from face planting so that was a small mercy.
Can I add that if I'm thinking of a band that has always been around and maybe I don't listen to all the time but when I do I still love them. They have stood the test of time so that you could pick many a tune from way back all the way through their illustrious career
Oh my lord - I don't think I have a favourite ever artist - it probably changes with something new I've found at any given time. Perhaps the Kill Devil Hills I was listening to a lot at one stage and still love
Like Logman I've read Perfume and it was a good read and the film somehow managed to capture the feel of the book really well I thought. I also read The Butterfly Collector quite a few years ago and don't think I finished it as it was a disturbing read and I'm not one to give up too easily on a difficult theme. The most disturbing read that I never got very far with (just a few pages from memory) was a Marquis De Sade book that I decided to purchase after watching Quills - I think I imagined a Geoffrey Rushlike figure who was possibly misunderstood - but no it was very unsavoury .
He did make it home from the hospital in the end but I heard from his older brother today that he had passed a short time ago and that it was a stroke that he didn't recover from. Can I thank you all for the kind messages and thoughts about him.
