I'm sure that they could cope with flippant irreverance as much as the next man, as long as the next man had been approved by their selection committee. [does that even work? - Ed]

MiniGree was watching a video this morning, Loch Ness with an angry Ted Danson, and I overheard a great exchange between our Ted and the little girl who lives by the lake, about the existence of Nessie:
Ted: I've got to see it before I can believe it. Girl: No, you've got to believe before you can see.

It's true what they say about wearing black colours when it's very sunny. I just went out for a fag and felt like I'd been dipped, head first into a chamber of volcanic lava. Poxy fucking black shirt. Oh: it's short-sleeved too, however I've been assured that the short-sleeved shirt, tie and pants ensemble looks pretty effective and not, as has been mentioned previously here, a pile of shite.

I don't think that's true, Barbelith is extremely resistant to irreverence. You'd most likely get a slew of replies saying "However much you think it's funny to mock, it's not nice for the people who would be genuinely offended by your misguided joke. It's not a pleasant feeling to have to deal with the images you're dumping into people's heads. Maybe you've just had a few too many down at your local - I can't say. If you do find yourself regretting this in the morning, I think an apology will suffice and we can all move on and learn from this."

I think that Michael chap from Big Brother has a lot to teach us about God, and energy, and love, and how they're all the same thing, so that means he is God. We are all God. Mmmmph. Yes.

I've got trousers on. They're the same as pants aren't they? Or have we Northerners got it all wrong?
emo! Pfft!
Edit: A quick google search has revealed that I have been incorrectly using the word 'pants' for years. So, just to confirm - I'm wearing trousers. They're the trousers that came with the suit, however the jacket has been left at home due to the current heat levels. Otherwise I wouldn't be wearing a short-sleeved shirt as part of my suit. That would, indeed, be very emo.

There was always some confusion about the whole kecks = trousers or underpants issue. At my school, this was cleared up by separating the terms as follows:
kecks = trousers cacks = underpants
I don't know if this happened elsewhere. I have a vague notion that the word kecks originates from the name of an indian garment, but this may be incorrect.

Well, they do in my neck of the woods. Can't speak for the rest of The North though.
Waynster: Yes. It is most liberating. Have you never felt the urge to grab your girlfriend's g-string after you've had sex and stick it on your head to sample the beautifully erotic scent of the fanny juices? Wearing them after this is the 'icing on the cake', so to speak.

I don't think that the uk suburbia and the US suburbia are the same. UK suburbia is generally a dreary lower middle class thing, where the same level of low-level hatred may exist, but the mums have jobs. In SE England, the upper middle classes live in small towns/villages in the home counties, and the non working women (who still do WorkLite) drink champagne and have crazy sex parties. I don't know what goes on outside of SE england though.

Okay: the wearing a g-string part was fictional, but, come on, are you trying to tell me that you've never had a little sniff, you know, just for the sake of it?
Come on Benway. Don't be afraid - you can tell me.Posts: 1696
