blumeanie.

I read , read and read some more . Joseph Conrad , Franz Kafka . If im not on this bloody machine im working and er! reading at my work ! . And also try to teach some morality to my kids as the war booms on the news in the background! . And encourage my kids to read and always look for an edge to peek over . If you know what i mean.

I have been stretching myself over too many forums lately and it seems that many people on them are Star Wars fans . I cant go anywhere online without finding a bunch of Star Wars nuts. My gripe is that i have seen all of the Star Wars movies except the latest one but cant find anything great to say about any of them .I find it strange that they have such a huge fan base for such a crap bunch of movies. Maybe im missing something that everyone else gets?. What is it that makes Star Wars so special to a lot of fans?. Why isnt 2001 a better movie?. Please admit that its shit , Please ?.

I will have to go old skool - the kenny everitt show, in sickness & in health , the young ones, the two ronnies, smith & jones, hale & pace, only fools & horses and porrige. American- different strokes, fresh prince of belair, the addams family, beavis & butthead, the cosbys and i strangely remember the waltons being a bloody good laugh for some reason . The best british humour of all - billy connolly- no contest .

Im a sad trainspotter , i work in the railway and have a cosy signal box all to myself , it pays rather well £28k - £30k .I also get a week off every 4 weeks and 35 annual days holiday a year . I enjoy it even though it gets majorly scary at times (its like looking at a plate of spaghetti) and the suicides can be upsetting (why do they all choose the railway?)apart from that i like it , its a good white knuckle /seat of the pants ride. No wonder im so bloody stressed out all the time,LOL.

Wow, what a bunch of, beautiful, ugly, young, old, impressive, vacant, intelligent, happy, depressed, calm, frightened, too sane, totaly insane, unimpresive, relaxed, stressed, gay, straight, sane, enlightened, closed, shocked, surprised, elated, interesting, boring, confident, friendly, alone, amazing, real, unreal, kind, sexy, extraordinary and ordinary people you really look,LOL. Easy for me to say eh!, ok, ill give you all my hypnotizing mug shot soon . Keep reminding me though!!!!! i might forget.

"Tensions between north korea and her southern democratic neighbour currently demonstrate that , according to kim jong ils crumbling communist dictatorship,modern western ideals still pose a corrupt and dangerous set of values that the north are somewhat reluctant to adopt. This old (cold war like)division of cultures has evolved into a nuclear stand off with north korea firing missles into the sea of japan in a defiant demonstration of strength that has angered the international community and has allowed US president bush to have north korea added to his infamous list of countrys that meet his "axis of evil" criteria . Kim jongs regime has recently engaged in diplomatic neggotiations with the international atomic energy agency (IAEA) in a bid to defuse tensions in the region . Western analysts say this could be north koreas way of obtaining aid for a population that is on the brink of starvation in a nation that takes pride in being reclusive . The west is currently at pains to address the issue of north koreas nuclear ambitions seriously , but the spectere of iraq and its ever growing insurgency will no doubt render these disscussions to the "diplomatic " variety untill developments in the middle east seem to improve . ( I HOPE THIS IS OK #1CUBEPLAYER , EDIT AS YOU SEE FIT MATE ,. im not to sure about that last sentence though , i would consider it too (unpatriotic) for your right wing american education . LOL . But please , feel free man . Its my duty to help a fellow ninty fan.

Its easy, just cut back on the money ,champagne , cocaine and 70s disco funk . It always works.

I truly sympathize ,the same thing happened to me when i was 21 except my girlfriend was 7 months gone at the time . It totaly tore the soul out of me at the time and i remember looking for any excuse to blame myself for it happening and i became rather deppressed for a while . My advise would be - dont look for a reason why, dont blame yourself , it is a natural thing that happens to millions all the time . I understand how the two of you must be feeling right now and i am truly sorry . keep the chin up and youll both get over it in your own time in your own way.

I also like those crazy american paranormal radio talkshows man , there addictive.

At last ,someone who listens to quality sounds. Roadkill , you have taste. The dream factory is truly for the discerning chap. I trust you have heard of simon posford (aka)hallucinogen, slinky wizard, autechre, etc. If you like that psy trance stuff ,ambient or a bit harder , look no further than them.Anyway, you just hit my nostalgia spot, it reminds me too much of my raving days . Im listening to dream factory as i speak , its underground class, take a bow man.

Ignore the idiot grumblings of this lot of sexual malcontents. To get a girl just show her your money, flies round shit , bees round honey. Failing that, try a bottle of champagne and a couple of lines of cocaine with some 70s disco funk, she will definetly want more dates after that.

Jesus was a political aggitator . If, however, he is the saviour and returns to save us , we should tell him right away , "hurry mate , go back to heaven , the bastards will crucify you".

Ok, i feel guilty now .Moria , ignore my last statement , my wifes just burned my ears about robbie being a good fellow etc. I must admit hes a good showman and that "rock dj" video was class .

Robbie williams is shit.

PLAYING - killer 7 , thief deadly shadows, and age of empires 2 (cant wait for 3). WATCHING- nothing, i never watch tv, honest. LISTENING- hallucinogen, slinky wizard, the aloof .

Delivering democracy at the point of a machine gun or from 20,000ft through the bomb doors , yeah, i also hate terrorists.

What is it that makes people think that the press/media are somehow immune and able to freely tell any sensetive story they like?. In the uk there is a gagging order called a D.NOTICE (defence) that stops any uncomfortable or damaging news from ever reaching the public eye under the grounds of national security. Ever since 911 this notice has been served on a number of publications that seemed to have strayed from the "official account" of the story. The idea that we enjoy a free press in the west is a total myth and quickly falls apart under careful scrutiny.

" I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER , .. HEY B.A. GET THE VAN WERE MOVING OUT." The A TEAM , nuff said.

911 was a very tragic event and i have read tons of stuff that claims to expose a hidden agenda of sorts. The truth about 911 is there to find if you look wisely, i suggest you should find what you can about "project for the new american century" or read a quality book entitled "the new pearl harbor" by david ray griffin. Its a normal rule of thumb that anyone who gets close to the truth on 911 is automatically labeled a kook or a conspiracy theorist or (convieniantly now) unpatriotic . The book i mentioned does not deal in wild imaginings , it deals in hard fact. I know that hard facts can have the power to disturb people who enjoy a cosy world view but i would encourage you all to read it and realise that managing your own enemy to get what you desire is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

I cant wait for the revolution,although it will be a long time before europe gets it i will definetley pre-order mine alright.Its the most important next gen console for me anyday , metroid revolution- yee haa! . I might also pick up an xbox360 when the price falls a bit .

Dear o dear , looks like this thread of mine has degenerated into some serious political point scoring contest . This was never my intention (cough). Anyway lets just settle the argument and ask those poor iraqis if they want bush&blair or saddam back eh?

Mmm, good to see bush and hitler as the most despised so far. I also love my family the most ,obviously. I must give a nod to dabookerman as the person i most admire from history is M.K. GANDHI , the way and the method he used to fight the empire makes him ,for me anyway, one of the most decent and honourable human beings that ever lived . Modern leaders today pale in comparison to such a man . Bush is nothing more than a simpleton surrounded by megalomaniacs and blair is just his poodle.

Ok, this is my first thread , please be kind. As this is general chit chat , i would like to know who your most favourite or most despised person from history is and why?. It can be anyone from a politician to a game developer and can stretch back to the beginning of time right up to today. Get posting , we all love or hate somebody , right.

Well done MEIK, isnt it sad when people cant see the other side of coin. If it doesnt affect their pockets they simply couldnt give a shit. I sincerely wish you and your folks the best of luck if a ban is imposed in your area .They are trying to ban smoking in my workplace but i work on my own, its laughable. I wonder how they would police the ban if the landlords and locals refused to co-operate with it eh!. I will be the first to admit that there are health benefits in stopping smoking, but what other enjoyment do many working class people have apart from enjoying a smoke and a drink at the local ?. As for those who are ignorant to your familys plight, ignore them, they only jumped on the bandwagon because the "sun" or tony blair told them to.They are sheep. good luck man

It is strange though that some places still have a smoking area in the same room as if some invisible wall stops the smoke from reaching the non smoking tables eh!. The non smoker has every right to the clean air they demand but most of them probably think nothing of leaving the pub to spew their exhaust fumes for the 5 min journey home (sober of course). But hey , im just being picky and thats a totaly different issue isnt it?.
