the diet crap just doesn't hit the same mark. Nooo I love the diet stuff and I've had sooo much recently, like 4 cans a day. It's finally hit me though as I've got bad heartburn as the acids are just too much :( Not to mention the artificial sweeteners, many of which are toxic and are banned in a n...

And Happy Birthday, Lara.

(No prezzie, tho, I'm afraid.)

Alec Rivers

Hippo Burpday, Sue!

As a prezzie, I'm happy to pop up one day soon to show you what you said you wanted showing. Remember what we were talking about in Manchester?

Andy, have you bought that second cabinet for your pop quiz trophies yet?

I don't know about fuddy-daddy [sic], but maybe naive. Story of my life. :P Many (in fact, more) people at that time had similar negative life experiences to those discussed in hip-hop, but had no creative outlet for their experiences, and could not even have aspired to a career in music. Hmm, good...

Talking of enriching knowledge, I suspect that the precise message of feminism may have been somewhat lost on Ms. K. I think she feels empowered by being able to use sex to control - at least in some small ways, perhaps the ways that matter to her - the thugs and niggas that otherwise would try to ...

Oh god I'd forgotten how funny this was in the unexpurgated version (it was only ever the very very heavily edited radio version that got played when it was in the charts). "Lick my pussy and my crack" is the best ridiculous single entendre in a song since "darling, come here, fuck m...

It's like when you try to fare dodge when riding a train - you keep thinking "what if I get caught?", and you can't concentrate. It's never worth it. If you do get caught you can end up with a criminal record . Are they giving out Susan Boyle records to fare dodgers instead of a fine now?...

I was one point behind as we went to a crucial conundrum. Smugly, though, I recalled overhearing Damian telling Kate that he'd chosen the scramble - and its solution - especially for me. The board turned over... and I stared at the letters in mounting dismay as the seconds ticked away: HESALOSER I ...

Thanks, but we already have http://www.channel4.com/4od which doesn't open ad windows all over the place, doesn't require the installation of a custom player, and works on most/all OS's.

If you'd like to see Kirk's excellent performances in series 60, this YouTube playlist has them all. (In show order, four clips per show.)

Ha, could be fun! It's a lot of booze, though, just for that. Mind you, maybe Ben can help.

p.s. I hear Matt Morrison's going off on a jolly, soon. Anyone know when he's going?

I press and I press but get no response, and I simply can't get a word in. A bead of sweat forms on my troubled brow — this isn't the first time I've found myself in this situation. It's a terrible time to quit, but maybe Apterous has gone down again.

I can't help thinking Ian posed for his at gunpoint or at least for a bet - he doesn't look drunk enough to be doing it willingly! 8/10 for a) enduring the trauma or b) having the bottle.

I like Michael's avatar. It's quite a professional-looking photo (nice colour temperature and balance, etc.) and well-posed too. An enterprising creature, no doubt - I wonder how much it was paid to model for that shot.

I get on really well with the lesbians next door. They asked me what I would like for my birthday. I was stunned when they gave me a Rolex. It was very nice of them, but I think they misunderstood me when I said, "I wanna watch."

penisland.net looks to be a pen supplier. penisland.com, which Alex has linked to, is a gay porn stash. Kind of puts his sermon about checking spelling and grammar into perspective.
