I didn't tell anyone about the pixels!!! Dang you Gadget!!! and what about this one...
Govind Dhar, as a fetus, survived 13 abortion attempts. He came out of the womb
with the umbical cord that would eventually kill the doctor.
How do they know these things?

Have you read Boris' appraisal of the Dodge Ram pickup truck in GQ this month? You'll fucking piss yourself at what he has to say about it.
Some phrases from memory:
"That's exactly what this was: a rednecked, plaid-shirted, abortion-loving, gun-toting, Bush-voting..."
The article is genius. Go geddit.

Here's a question...
When you put 'Kind Regards' at the end of a mail, both K and R are capital right? But what if you want to say Kind Regards and Thanks...it all starts looking a little odd...
Or is it all just
Kind regards and thanks...
confused
jonnyploy
16-May-06, 12:40
I use 'Best regards' rather than 'Kind regards' (it has the advantage of being autocompleted by Outlook), but as far as I'm aware only the 'K' is uppercase.
As for how to say thanks at the same time - don't bother. Pick one or the other of 'Kind (or Best) regards' and 'Many thanks' (or similar).
Wow, that has to be up there with my all-time most mind-numbingly dull posts.

I rather bent the door back some, though I think I used the front tyre rather than any body parts, but then who knows? All I remember is seeing a door appear in front of me and being magically transported to a heap on the floor in front of the van.

Gnarrrrly dude
At the risk of offending a select few, it struck me yesterday that there are 3 kinds of people in particular who I don't understand in this world. And they are, in no particular order:
Smokers
Vegetarians
Religious people
Its not that I dislike them, its just that I dont understand them.
If I'm talking to someone smoking, I'm just constantly thinking 'how about a clean pair of lungs?'
If I'm talking to a vegetarian, I'm thinking 'how about being a carnivore like we're supposed to and tuck into a lovely bacon sarnie'
I won't get into the whole religion thing as that is slightly more complex. Still don't get it though.
Discuss.
jonnyploy
2-Jun-06, 20:29
I see it like this:
There is a hierarchy of 'understandability' amongst the three types you have mentioned.
In my view, smokers are the easiest to understand because the reasons why they do it are more compelling. Essentially, they are persuaded into it by other smokers. (I know that's a poor reason to smoke, but peer pressure is nevertheless a very real thing). Also, once they have started, there's the obstacle of addiction to get over in order to stop.
Next easiest to understand are religious people. (And I'm assuming we're talking about organised religion here). They, in many cases, have similar pressures on them to smokers, the difference being that the pressure to go to church (or wherever) usually comes from family rather than friends. However, religion isn't addictive (at least not in the physical sense) and therefore it is less clear why people remain religious. Social reasons maybe?
Next comes vegetarians. I've never heard of peer pressure to be a veggie, and it can't possibly be addictive, so I'm inclined to fully agree with Sammyboy - vegetarians are weird.
Additional:
It has just occurred to me that many vegetarians probably have a similar attitude to meat-eaters as Sammyboy (and, if I'm any judge, King) have towards smokers. I still don't understand them though, the freaks.
RosieBear
3-Jun-06, 12:09
I understand vegetarians - some that is - i have the privilege of having an insiders point of view as my sister is a member of the veggie cult - her initial reasons for going veggie were that she just didnt like meat - except for the odd chicken burger which she was caught scoffing when drunk once. She eats fish because she acknowledges it's very good for you and also tasty - she has never really talked about cruelty to animals - although she does oppose hunting- as her 3 kids and hubby all tuck into their sunday roast and she cooks meat for them too - which isnt ver nice for her as she hates it in its raw state especially. So there you go -some vegetarians are understandable.
It's vegans i dont get - it's hardly cruel to eat a darn egg is it...the hen pops it out no matter....and its especially ok if its a free ranging hen..also if you didnt milk the cows their udders would get really sore and they would moo in pain and discomfort and keep the farmers awake - so thats actually cruelty to animals....i watch one of the teachers at school scoffing manky beans every lunch and observe his pale and pasty complexion, listen to his droll conversation and conclude that veganism really isnt good for your physical or emotional state..
Mmmm Meat...gnnnarggrrrllll.
I'm sorry what were we talking about again?

ha ha i can comment from an insider's point of view on that one too - as in full devonian tradition I have a tattoo of an anchor on my arse you see....
..... no not really
but my pa was in the navy and one drunken eve in some port in asia somewhere, he got rather drunken and he and his fellow matlow's got tattooed - he woke up in the morn to find that the top left of his arm - from the shoulder to the elbow- was covered in a naked big breasted lady sat upon a large red rose....the said tattoo has now faded so so much that the lady and her rose are a pale blue/ turquoise....but her breasts are still large and if i remember rightly really quite pointy and conicle shaped....

Oh I've got another one for you to consider
fat women and girls who wear those short pleated jersey skirts designed for cheer leaders - especially the ones who wear them in white along with a white vest and white furry boots and then go to a nightclub so that they can be laughed at even more when they parade under the uv lights
How about people who watch Big Brother, or in fact most other "reality" tv shows.
I mean I'm sure we've all fallen off the tracks and accidentally flicked over to one. However when this happens surely (as in my case) a little alarm bell should go off in your head saying,
"Yo Chris, what the fudge are you doing watching someone else live their life. You're not living their life for these moments, which I agree would be interesting. You're not watching an interesting social experiment - they're all just narsisistic nutters. You're just wasting time when you could be living your own life, doing something far more interesting like putting seven names in a hat and then pulling them out one by one and shouting 'woohoo' when you pick the last one and declare it the winner. Or watching Top Gear."
...or something similar depending on your own style of inner-monologue (and name). Perphap's your inner monologue can even spell narsicistic.
It's not that it doesn't make interesting viewing (for 2 minutes perhaps), it's just that its shit - plain shit.

Agreed.
Wow, your inner monologue is funny you should let it go on tour...or you should market that name out of a hat game; it's a winner.
This is turning into an episode of Grumpy Old Men crossed with Room 101. But I am glad I have stirred up a bit of passion in you bunch of lazy good-for-nothings.
Ok Big Brother: Yes it is cack. Yes it is way past its sell-by date (series 1). Yes people shouldn't watch it. But for some reason that doesn't confuse me as much as smokers or vegetarians.
I can sort of understand it in a twisted way. Also, I am still mentally scarred from catching a glimpse of Rebecca Loos and James Hewitt 'singing' on 'Celebrity' X-Factor. Good thing is, you can just switch it off! Haha! The miracle of technology.
As for girls in white skirts/pumps/tops, this also doesn't really concern me. You get to see a lot more of that in Stevenage than you do in the cultured environs of Islington so I cant say it bothers me.
So at the moment my list remains at
Smoking
Vegetarianism
Tattoos
Religion
Also Chris: You need to patent that names out of a hat game pronto. Channel 4 will be round any second. Deal or No Deal got away with it, why shouldn't you?

I'm interested in what part of religion you don't understand Sammyboy.
For me, it's not the organised worship bit that bothers me (I think that that can be explained to some extent by people's need to do something).
My problem is rather with the actual 'believing in God' bit.
Why do people do it?
Other things that I'd propose to add to the list:
Animal Rights Extremists
'Pimped Rides' (or 'Chavved-up Motors')
People who enjoy going to the gym.
You mean you don't understand the duality of people who think it's bad and wrong to torture and maim cute, furry little animals but feel no compunction at severely damaging slightly less furry and cute humans?
I think we need to lump them into a category labelled extremists (as in animal, religious, Monopoly, etc...those Monopoly extremists can get violent if you pick the car before they get to it you know; Monopoly money paper cuts are no joke). I don't get any of them; how anyone can be so convinced of their path, their way of thinking, that anyone who gets in their way, or whose thoughts don't correspond, must be eliminated is beyond me.
On this general subject I watched the scariest program last night: It was called God's Next Army and was about Patrick Henry (I think) College. A College just outside Washington DC, expressly for the education of Evangelical Christians in the ways of politics and debate. The aim being to 'rescue' America from its moral decay by educating the next generation of (Conservative Republican) politicians in just how to take over the country and, in doing so, serve God.
It was full of shiny, self-full young mid-westians who have been home-schooled and therefore see nothing wrong in their Biology teacher stating that Geological strata is not due to a gradual process taking place over millions of years but was caused by The Flood. They also see nothing wrong in looking to the Bible to settle anything in this world and going to Uni whilst signing a pledge to not drink, smoke, swear, have any sexual activity outside marriage or have any fun at all. I mean, I'm all for abstaining from all that if you want to but signing a pledge and having your mates shop you to the man if you have a half of shandy?
Anyway I've gone on about it a bit now...safe to say the campaign for the Republican nominee in their free time and I couldn't not watch.
I fear that they may just be unstoppable.
"I want to right the heartbeat of America" indeed!
Jonnyploy: in answer to your question, I guess the thing I don't really understand about Religion is how any sane, rational, intelligent, logical, practical people can buy into any of it. The Bible, God, Noah's Flood, Genesis, the whole shebang. Is that how you spell shebang? I've never had to spell it before. Its a bit like sane, rational people smoking or being vegetarians I guess. It just suggests to me that the whole bloody lot of them are several cards short of a full deck.
I'll get back to you on the Extremists and the Chav Cars but I feel I have to draw the line somewhere as this is getting out of hand.
bloomin hell chaps!
My list of stuff:
1.arty farty people
2. hoity toity people.
3. Namby pamby stick it up your jacksie people.
4. Animal rights activists
5. Overtly politically correct, we love the world, and are so enlightened compared to you, rediscovered ourselves whilst trekking the deserts with the nomads of the Sahara, got shot at and held at gunpoint but now all I have is these lovely photos on my ikea coffee table people.
6. the religious american lot, bush et al
7. The religious muslim lot, osama et al.
8. Al et al.
by the way, the first three are a homage to a character in the Thin blue line, which none of you have probably remember as it is crap, but I am not afraid to admit that I like naff comedy, it has it's place I think, like before the watershed or really reallly late on a weekday night.

I'm not going to knock The Thin Blue Line. It was no Blackadder, but (imho) it had some of the greatest completely juvenile lines in comedy history:
'Just remember Raymond, my arse is on the line and I don't want a cock up. Your cock-up, my arse!'
'It's my arse on the line, so you better pull your finger out'
'My arse is on the line and if you stuff it, I'm going to look very red in the face'

QUOTE
Good Day,
I am a staff of Shanghai Commercial Bank attached in Private Banking services Please do allow me to fully introduce myself my name is
Professor Syech Syarif Hidayat .
I am a personal friend and business colleague to the dethroned Charles Taylor who was the president of Liberia until august 11 2003 when he
officially resigned from the post of president .I will not bore / engage you with much but rather furnish you with very important information¡¦s
with which is vital . Due to the allegations of both fraud and genocide which he is been charged for all efforts have to be concluded in other
to save some of his personal assets and finances because they are all under the verge of confiscation by the international authorities /
prosecutors. After the ousting of the president due to these charges and the unsettlement in Liberia during this time in question an interim
government was established where Moses Blah was sworn as his successor until a transitional government was established on October 14. At the handover
were Ghanaian President John Kufuor, South African President Thabo Mbeki, and Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano, representing Afr
ican regional councils.
In 2000, the subject matter; ref: bb/tsb/bank/73 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services
Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 17.35 million Canadian Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over on his behalf. I
was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the
Private Banking services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any
investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is
to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money
around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this p
oint at over Five million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns
on investments.
Being that the international committe and united nations have apprehended him,he stands to face trail for many crime attributed to him as the
then president.As a friend we have decided randomly and occasionally on the best possible solutions to some of his personal investments and
finances which will eventually be seized and confiscated by Interpol however this will be subject to all his investments and assets, stocks and
shares which they know of so we agreed that some of them should be immediately channeled to other country.
What I wish to relate to relate to you is that there is $19.15 million Canadian Dollars deposited, I alone have the deposit details and they
will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so as the personal financier to the original depositor my client Mr. Taylor
.They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that shall be introduced to them and considering the present situation
of My Taylor¡¦s arrest , it became very clear that the funds will not be claimed or transferred to his family , so by considerations and
international official banking protocols the funds are to be immediately transferred to his next of kin and family relatives , but the trial will
entails the confiscation and seizure of all his belongings , investments and funds so it would be very stupid and ironical to have them transfer
the funds to his family for it shall be seized and confiscated by those prosecuting him in Liberia,Serea-Leone and the united nation d
ecisive decision has to be made soonest read through and get back .
My proposal;
I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the finance firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation to Mr.
Taylor being that he is exile and the united nations. I am prepared to share the money with you in certain % I will simply nominate you as the
next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 60% for us and 40% for you.
The alternative would be for us to have the firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need
for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive or
destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this email account:profsyarif11@yahoo.com.hk
Please observe this instruction religiously. Again note I am a family man I happily married with two kids. I send you this mail not without a
measure of fear as to what the consequences might be, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches
never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If
we can be of one accord then we shall both enjoy the fruits of our labor. What i am demanding from you is just a very simple and short answer
if you are in or out.
Sincerely Yours,
Professor Syech Syarif Hidayat
