I would do it for nothing, but nobody would ever ask me again after they saw the results of my labour.

The look on thier faces would be my reward :)

anc, people who use the term, skank, are not worth spitting on.

Just ignore them.

It’s an American bar-room term used for ugly women who’ll have anyone. It’s used by men who divide women into motherly types and prozzies.

You’re not a skank, nor is any woman here.

If you don’t let it rest there, then you’ll just get drawn into the mindset of…[Read more]

famous last Words.

That’s what Titus Andronicus said.

oh, Mr Squeers, sir, don’t be ungrateful, sir, I’m trying to do you a favour.

The case made everyone sick; eye-gouging is the activity of particularly debased human beings.

So I am now pushing you for the job of Official Eye-Gouger, Approved by Her Majesty the Queen (God Bless Her), to deal with these people.

Good money, good prospects, chances…[Read more]

this case upset everyone..and, Mr Wackford Squeers,you’re the man for the gouging job! Doubt she or anyone will want his eyes, but surgeons can be at hand.

do I laugh or cry??

Like many I still cant figure the pleasure folks get out of winding folk up. Personally I think they are sad.

But well said

probably the same pleasure as a rapist. Just a love of causing pain and embarrassment.

And as Mrs T says, Su, coatsy, none of…[Read more]

30 years ago (Easter, 82) I was with a friend in Elie, a small vilagae in Fife, kicking a can around a beach and talking about what to do with our lives. Very refreshing experience – a very important experinece personally. I can never thank him enough.

I can only add my applause.

I’ve hardly spoken to you, Su in the room, and not much in here, but I’e always found you to be a very warm, engaging person. You have no reason to feel ashamed of yoursellf, but your abusers have much reason to feel ashamed.

I hardly go in the room at the moment because I can’t be bothered with the nastiness that…[Read more]

I was walking along a street when I saw this old geezer on a bike sucking a fag-end when some ham and eggers approached him

F**k off, you low b***tards, he said with his kind and sensitive voice, ‘back to your Fagin’s den’. For some reason I couldn’t fathom, he seemed to be looking down on the ham and eggers,

He rode on, mumbling and grumbling…[Read more]

I saw Arthur Mullard as I walked down Charing Cross..

also Kenneth Williams stood beside me at a bus stop in Tottenham Court Road..we both studiously ignored each other.

only Barbara Windsor to ignore, then

I wd like to be star struck, but they ignore me so I ignore them..huh..

happy birthday, Mr Rob..51 again, hey?

Could it have been in protest at rising bus fares?

Jen, wasn’t trying to put you down. The poem sounded very personal, and it sounds like one of those relationships which had become lethal and needed breaking. What you describe, including the continued forgiveness of your partner for his emotional crimes, is what many people feel – some men (quietly) as well as women.

I was making a general point…[Read more]

Jen, here’s where I (sort of) disagree, and I’m not at all sure that I can get it across adequately without getting people’s backs up.

You rightly said that you didn’t mention gender, but the poem you quote (yours?) is very much written from a woman’s point of view, and a very narrow one too. It aroused the same ambiguity as I felt in the 80s…[Read more]

John Meier’s biography of Jesus – 4 volumes and still going.

Given Meier’s admission at the beginning that we know sweet f anny adams about jesus outside a few wise sayings, a few miracles, a good evening meal after which he was shopped to the cops by one of his mates and then crucified – and that we’re not sure even of those facts – I think…[Read more]

Jen,
that is very accurate. I’ve come across a lot of cases like that.

When I was a young guy i remember one friend of a friend who was belittled and hit by her guy. She would appear with a cut to her head and we encouraged her to leave. In retaliation, the man broke into her flat and cut her pet hamster’s four feet off with a pair of scissors,…[Read more]
