Title: Something that made you smile or laugh today..?
Post by: Master Ray on April 17, 2015, 07:01:46 PM
... anything at all, no matter how silly or trivial... I'm sure something like this has been started before but it seems to be lost in the fog of this Forum, so let's start again...   ;)

For me, after a rather sad thing (see a different thread), I popped into my local insignificant town centre to get a few bits and pieces... and found myself meeting Eddie Izzard...

While I warned a new worker at my job about our chief's dog running around the house that he might urinate somewhere in the warehouse, and suddenly an older working mate pops out behind a shelf - and I said HE might urinate somewhere. This caused a lot of fun of course. I laughed nearly 5 minutes after it.

The tory party were in town today, they had a small stall set up at the cross.
I just shook my head and laughed and thought best of luck with that

A Finnish populist party called the "Perussuomalaiset" that have caused some minor panic among EU do not like a basic way we call them with a shortening as "Persu". That's because it's nearly same as like "Perse" or "Persus" which means ARSE in Finnish. ;D

Well, they've chosen their name so what are they whining about? Hehe.

I was talking to a mate I used to be in a crappy local band with... we played a few times at a now deceased (and sadly missed) club called The Limelight.. where JSAF played once and, to my shame, only drew about 30 people...  :-[

We used to pull in a couple of hundred people!  Granted, insanely drunk friends, but still...

Pah, those NMA types...  ::)

I'm hearing every evening shouts up from the trees that says:

Fukinasshole! Fukinasshole!

It's the Song Thrush (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_thrush) (turdus philomelos) singing. ;D

There are lots of thrushes everywhere here during this time of the year. Unbelievable and funny cacophony.

Thought i would swap some tea bags around today. We have all these labelled up tins containing the appropriate loose tea bags from earl grey, to lemon, to tea bags that need milk and ones the would never really be taken with milk.

As soon as i done this i walked out of the kitchen just as the lead salesman and some important customers walked in.

I heard the salesman say 'Right then, first thing is first....who wants a tea'.

It did make me laugh.

A very stubborn lamb who has learned to jump over the fence. I come back from a hike and see this lone lamb just leap over the fence while all the rest of the herd just stay put.  He's a really little bastard, not even food makes him go back in.

I've been laughing to something that occurred here in Everything Else years ago:

You know, I'm a so-called "twitcher" so birds are a hobby to me. I try to recognise as many species of them as possible, take photos of them and I have many books of bird species and some cd's about their singing...ok?

Well as I'm not a native English speaking I didn't know there's another meaning with the word "bird". Ok, so once here I told how I love to "feed the birds at our yard at winter", and that there's plenty of them, like fourty at the same time. ;D Well, Stoney replied to me in a bit angry way: what the f*** was I talking about? And this smiley:  ???

I didn't know the word has a dirty meaning too! ;D

OK, this made me smile / laugh in kind of a bitter way...

All those papers who supported The Tories and threw a great big smear campaign against Labour, thus pushing the easily-led politically naïve folks to vote Conservative ... the last few days, they've ALL had front-page headlines about massive NHS problems, that awful poverty we have and what disgusting things the Bankers are doing...

I was disappointed that I couldn't manage a meet with a very good friend, over from Amsterdam, thanks to his limited time on these shores... and this afternoon, out of the blue, a car pulled over and it was me old mate being driven from the airport to his family meet... manly hugs ensued.

Meetings with old friends always make me smile and laugh.   :)

I thought the video was hilarious.

Though on a more serious note you wrote;
Quote
easily-led politically naïve folks to vote Conservative.

Personally I think this has been one of the tragic things about this campaign, the rude statements made about people who vote for parties we do not disagree with and didn't vote for. Ie what you put there, and others say like UKIP voters are "racists", Labour voters are for the "work shy" and so on.

I think we do the mass a disservice. But more than that, it stops us for looking at WHY people vote the way they do and the underlying issues that concern people. If we think that people who vote for one party are because they were "scared into it", or "stupid" or "protesting", I think we will miss the real reasons it happens. Personally I think only three parties understood somewhat why people voted for them and that is Tory, Green and SNP. UKIP think it was for their manifesto, but it was for immigration as they have diddly shit economic policy. Labour and the Lib Dems are still trying to figure it out.

I don't know about you, but I read all the parties manifestos, every page. And it's very interesting to find what they really want, rather than what they say.

Apologies for going serious for a mo, but must get that off my chest.

Hey, mate!

Firstly, me mate was only over for a couple of days for a wedding, so family stuff meant no time for a proper meet with an old pal he used to play in a truly awful metal band with...

As to the political thing... I'm not looking down on many of the folks who voted Tory, I just think it was an utterly dirty campaign of Media smears that was loaded in favour of the bastards who had the money to pay for it.  Any public figure / celebrity who came out in favour of Labour was subject to such unpleasant stories about thir personal life... I mean, Martin Freeman did a commercial for Labour and the next day there were
 stories about how his wife went bankrupt... WTF has that got to do with anything political?

Most people didn't read the manifestos like you did... I certainly skipped through them...

Whatever, we're stuck with them now... let's hope it's not as bad as we think it might be...

What about those who wanted to vote Tory but were afraid to say? I certainly saw a hell of a lot of raw abuse from the left to anyone thinking of voting Tory or UKIP.

And as for the Freemans etc. If you read the stories, they were about his wife, yes, going bankrupt. But the issue was WHY she went bankrupt and that was to avoid paying debts, you know to businesses like mine that do work in good faith then get shafted. So in a way that is a debt/tax avoidance plan. So in a way it was relevant especially if they are supporting a stricter tax avoidance party, which they were. Lets face it any Tory that prothletises about family values and is found with his dick in a prostitute is also fair game. Hypocrisy will out.

The fact that luvvies used their media presences to undemocratically push for a party when you and I would never get that coverage makes me sick. Stand up Freeman, Brand, Izzard and Coogan your time is up!!!!!!

ps great debate MR, but I'm not sure we are in the right thread....my bad!  ;)

It's been an odd election and, quite frankly, I'm exhausted by the whole thing.  The Tories are in.  I personally think the next five years are gonna see some terrible stuff.  I'm happy to be proved wrong.

What the heck. It's Finnish. Sorsanpesä is a name for a certain hotel (and bar). And they had a mini festival inside there. Kiskasee is a verb for swallowing a pint or something like quite fast. (I can't see the meaning for the verb in that line.) He doesn't know the actual time but ilmoitetaan means he'll tell it to you later. Well, written in a strong Savonian dialect though. Plenty of seinäjokisia bands means: plenty of local bands from a city of Seinäjoki (where Sorsanpesä actually resides in Finland too).

Just  wait until you'll hear my gibberish at Manc.  ;D

I heard from news there was a lorry felling down from a road somewhere at 5:00 AM. There was a cargo of 500 living turkeys. Ok this is certainly not something to laugh for, I know.

But I couldn't resist a laugh when I thought about the situation I heard there was: It was pitch black at the time when it occured and located at countryside near to a big and busy road where people drive to their work then. The turkeys survived an flee away from the lorry and swarming everywhere... 500 of them... Then arrive the firefighters first to check the lorry (which isn't in fire)... Then they'll try to catch the angry turkeys running everywhere at the field. Imagine what did the people think at the morning what the heck is happening here, turkeys and firefighters everywhere, am I awake or not? lol

I laughed out loud when a mate at my work told last week about a gift he bought to their little kid:

It was some talking animal or a game that asks for attention by making noises. Before Christmas they hid the toy inside a warehouse but they woke up at midnight due to some sheep voices. Ok, then he threw it to bathroom that they could continue sleeping. But the toy kept up making voices and then he threw it to car's back box. When he drove to work the toy reacted with all the "bumps" and staggering. Neighbours could hear all the different cow voices and chickens. ;D

Thanks Rusco. Of coarse, its a line from "No mans land" quite a powerful line really. To me it about being in poverty on the dole in the 1980's. Having enough money to stay alive but not really live.

As for me now, its about wanting to eat what I would like, but not being allowed to  :-\

OK, this is a bit weird... had a great big (and probably ill-advised) 'mountain of pasta and garlic bread' lunch today, followed by a rather extended snooze on the sofa... and somehow woke up convinced that it was actually Sunday...  :(

No joke, it was coming up to 4pm, I needed to get a few household supplies but looked at the clock and thought 'nah, too late to go to ASDA' so went down the road to the local corner shop... it was honestly a couple of hours before I figured out that it was still Saturday...

An older mate at work told me about cars and their problems there were in the early days.

His friend had a Taunus in late 70's and the owner wondered why does it seem there fits always less and less fuel inside the tank. When he searched for a reason he found out a pipe that drains the fuel from the tank had sucked too hard and the tank had turned into a little foil ball around the pipe. Like a raisin or something.  ;D

The fact that Jehova's Witness missionaries are so innocent. There were two on a bike today outside my parents house. It was raining and they were in nice, perfect shirts and ties. I invited them in and listened to them and gave them coffee. Simply because I was bored and alone.
They are actually quite nice if people talk to them and don't slam the door on them or hide when they come. They wanted no money, Just someone to listen about their faith.

their devotion and persistence made me smile. And the fact of just how innocent and clean they appear.

Oh, that reminded me of something, 'Black Books' episode 1... can't find the isolated clip so may I direct you all to the full episode and 9.19 minutes in when Bernard is trying to find an excuse not to do his tax returns and a couple of religious lads knock on his door... so funny.  It's a great show if you want to check it out.

A pub meet with friends / bandmates from a long time ago, haven't been around a table for damn near twenty years...

... and this might sound like an odd thing to smile or laugh about, but one of our number finally admitting that he was, ahem, 'knocking off' my then-girlfriend for a while...  :o

I just laughed my arse off when he told me.  To hell with her, it was one of those mind f-ing, awful relationships that my earlier and more shallow / pretentious self misunderstood as being 'love'  :-\, I'm sure we've all had similar, she was bad news from the start and this just confirmed that I was well rid of her.  Yet another bit of emotional baggage lost!   :D

Went for a good walk today, first for a while just felt that I really needed it. Was so good to get out and stretch the legs. Its was a bit cold but good to see the woods in there winter state. There had been quite a lot of storm damage since my walk, a few old oak trees basically split in half. Not any signs of spring on the way and very few animals about a few grey squirrels and a couple of birds. The mp3 player on random as always highlights were tool opiate, some skindred and nma the hunt ( nobody else version)

Trying to teach the nursery kids about easter and jesus and all that gubbins.
We read the story about being hung on the cross then put in the cave then being seen in the garden and not being dead blah blah. All to much for a 3 year old head.
 So we talk about the cross and the sign of a cross on a hot cross bun. Oooh yeah, we all know about hot cross buns. I think I'm getting some where and ask "What time of year do we eat hot cross buns to remember jesus ?
"Tea time" was the answer.

Well, yeah it's easter coming quite soon.

Ok, so there's a pagan tradition of easter witches in Finland a week before easter. It's tomorrow and the forementioned witches are little children that wander from apartment to another telling a short poem. You're supposed to listen it and then grant the kids with sweets, cookies and maybe even a coin or two and they'll continue to the next house. There was a belief that you'll have luck in future if you grant them, and on the other hand unlucky if you don't. Ok?

Well, some people feel it's irritating in some circumstances when the kids arrive possibly at strange situations. I've had one very annoying (or funny, depending on a viewpoint) situation too something like ten years ago as I was going to a wc that resided in a shanty house at our yard. (They're approx 1x1 meter wide little wooden boxes actually that you may only have a shit inside.) And then there arrived 3 little witches knocking the door while I was literally farting inside, having a poo. Me shouting: "aye kids I'm having a shit and this is a f****** toilette, you go up the hill to our house!"  ;D

OK, spent the day with my Mum today and taught her how to rip her CD's onto her computer hard drive, then transfer them onto a USB stick and then play those tunes in her and her husbands brand new car... it might not sound like much, but she's a bit of a technophobe and it was like Alan Turing cracking the Enigma Code!  She was so delighted and excited, in fact she emailed me to say she's been ripping and transfering stuff for the last couple of hours... so cute, it really put a smile on my face...  ;D

Here's a thing..I haven't dyed my hair since January last year, due to lack of hair. Now it's starting to grow back people have commented on what a nice colour it is ( browny red) and are surprised it's my natural colour.
Praps they thought purple was my natural colour ?

Just in case it's a pro-EU thing...  didn't we have most of these things anyway?  'Freedom from torture and degrading treatment', 'the right to a fair trail', 'Freedom of religion', 'Freedom from Slavery', etc etc...

Also, 'Peace in Northern Ireland'... didn't the UK manage that one without the EU?

And the end of it, talking about 'the frogs and the krauts'...  ::) 

I dunno.  I'm a confused person tonight.  Just one of those days, I suppose.

Something sent to me on The Dreaded Facebook today... it had a picture of Blackadder and Baldrick at the top, from 'Blackadder Goes Forth' (one of my favourite shows ever) but I have no idea how to post a picture here, so you'll have to imagine it... and YES, it might annoy some pro-EU folks here (sorry)... but it made me laugh...

This is the simplest - and probably the most sensible - explanation, about the EU and the Euro, ever to see the light of day:
Baldrick: "What I want to know, sir, is before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. Now there's only one type of money that the foreign people use. Now what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs".
Blackadder: "Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start?”
Baldrick: "Yes sir."
Blackadder: "Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980's there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises."
Baldrick: "But this is sort of a crisis, isn't it sir?”
Blackadder: "That's right Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan."
Baldrick: "What was that then sir?"
Blackadder: "It was bollocks."

I'm not putting it down, whatever floats your boat!

Apparently, if you want your picture taken with Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), it'll cost you £140...  :o

Well... I just watched this weeks episode of '999 - Whats Your Emergency', excellent Channel 4 show...

Saw a depressing clip of police being called to a chippy on a grim street where a wild-eyed, nonsense-shouting skank, off her tits on 'legal highs', blood smeared all over her face, was screaming about how three guys kicked the crap out of her for no reason... only for it to turn out that she was making it all up and she just tried to bite her best friends face off...

Ladies and gentlemen... that chippy is literally 30 seconds around the corner from where I live! Yay, love my hometown and some of the people who live there!

Although, to be fair, it's a pretty good chippy when it doesn't have, you know, complete arseholes in it. They do Wrights Pies, so that's something.

Well, this might also be a thing for the "What pissed you off..." thread - but since I have been working for this company for almost thirty years now I know better than to let certain things upset me.

So we are expecting visitors at work today and my boss asked me to prepare the conference room. As per usual, why not, no big deal.
He did, however, ask my dear co-worker, Janina, to greet them and lead them there as too much of my ink is showing in summer. *ROTFL* It's not like most people who come visit us haven't  known me for ages.
He did, however, have the guts to apologise to me for doing this. If you know him, this IS a big deal.

After all these years I am really amused rather than upset.  ;D

OK, I've said before that my financial situation is pretty bad at the moment... and today, a bailiff showed up at my door for an old council tax debt... a pretty big and scary dude.  I can't deny that I was thinking he'd be out the door within ten minutes with my laptop and TV...  :o

Honestly, I swear this is true... I explained my financial scenario... and he agreed that I was fucked financially and then took the time to tell me what my rights were and how, basically, he could do very little, as his fellow workmates would be able to do if they put in further visits.  He even directed me to websites that could put it into further detail!

I know that these debts of mine will have to be paid off at some point... but this was a genuine act of kindness from someone who could have been a dick about the whole thing.  Perhaps he was just fed up with his job?  Who knows.  But I'm so thankful to this fella.  Put a bit of faith back in my head about the whole 'humanity' thing.

What a nice guy.  :)

Introducing new folks to NMA.  I'm quite active on another bands official Forum, one that's rather different to NMA (although similar in certain ways), and started a thread with a few nudges via posting clips and that... great response, several people truly loving what they've heard, asking for info, posting their opinions...  :D

Just goes to show that there's a lot of people out there who would love a superb band like NMA if they were just made aware of them... shame the mainstream music magazines / TV shows / whatever don't follow.

Back in the mid 90's, a rather terrible band I was in recorded a not very good demo tape overnight at a studio in Stoke... we also took along a video camera and recorded on and off through the night... that videotape was thought lost but, no, one of our number recently found it, converted it to DVD and handed out copies at tonights all-too-rare reunion meet...

Bloody hell.  Just watched it, spent half of it with my head in my hands and half of it laughing like a loon.  Reminded me that even if the band were totally shit, we had such a laugh making such a dreadful racket...  :D  Aw, I miss those days and can't believe it was over 20 years ago. 

Also, I had GREAT hair back then...  ;)

For the record, my hair was some kind of messy rock 'n' roll bouffant kind of thing (think Johnny Marr when he was with The Smiths) but matched with a 90's grunge-era goatee... all so thick and dark and luxuriant...it was a look that would make men respectful and women swoon...   :D

Aw, not something that 'made me smile or laugh today', but last night.. a works night out as the only man in a team full of northern women...  :o

Got in at 2.30AM and all I can say is that... well, you know how some people talks about 'men behaving badly on a night out'?  Jeez, that's nothing... nothing at all.  I think the world of my workmates, they're brilliant ladies, and usually so sensible, but once the wine sinks in, blimey, if they went to an NMA pre-gig meet, then ten minutes later, muthafuckas would be running out!   ;D  Put it like this, I had about seven pints and a couple of shots and I was the relatively sober one.

A hilarious and brilliant night.  So glad I work with these folks.

I used to go to Rock City... so every chance our paths have crossed. Love that sticky floor!'

I know, it's a bit 'low' of me, but I've been trolling the heck out of these numbskulls on various websites for the last hour or two.  Just for shit and giggles.  What can I say, I'm a bit bored tonight.   ;)

Loving the fuss about the new Doctor Who being an actress... so, no problem with The Doctor being a two-thousand year old alien who travels through all of space and time in a little blue box that's bigger on the inside... and who turn into a completely new person upon death, which has happened over and over again... and it has been signposted over recent series that the sex of a Time Lord can change... yet some of these 'fans' are really losing their shit over it!   ;D

I know, it's a bit 'low' of me, but I've been trolling the heck out of these numbskulls on various websites for the last hour or two.  Just for shit and giggles.  What can I say, I'm a bit bored tonight.   ;)
;D I hear you! What I love most is those self-proclaimed, life-long fans who now say they will never watch it again. Ummmm, yea, right.

Granted, I am not yet sure what to make of it - but she IS a good actress - and it opens up great new possibilties. I am definitely going to watch it and see what they are going to do with the show, I am really curious.

MotoGp-  Aragon Spain - With 5 rounds to go it's all square at the top with Honda's Marc Marquez and Ducati's Dovizioso on 199 points n Yamaha's Vinales a further 16 points back.  Valentino Rossi makes an incredible return having suffered a double leg break only 21 days ago ( tib n fib )
In another action packed race Marquez secured another win from his team-mate Dani Pedrosa with Ducati's Lorenzo 3rd

A tree felling lever is 'vänkäri' in Finnish. And it sounds almost like w anker. And you fell the trees with it...   ;D

"Vänkäri" is also a verb in Finnish: someone might 'vängätä' about something which means like "wanting about something" with a loud voice or "begging" very much (f.e. like children do in an anxious way).

I was riding a bike today in a residential area of Hoi An in Vietnam. Two really cute girls said "Hello, How are you." with the biggest, most genuine smile. They seemed so happy to practice their greetings in english. Many kids seem so happy to greet foreigners and kids here are extra cute. The babies are unreasonable cute.

Went to my first Christmas pantomime since I was a kid this afternoon (now that my little niece is old enough so I've got an excuse!), Snow White at the Crewe Lyceum, starring Cannon and Ball (a comedic double act who were huge in the late 70's / early 80's for any non UK folks reading this).  And it was bloody great!  Proper laughed my arse off, although the couple of pints I imbibed beforehand might have had something to do with it...  ;D  and Cannon and Ball (who I saw on stage back when they were one of the biggest names on UK TV) weren't some sad old act trading on past glories, they really put on a terrific show.  Proper funny guys who know how to work a crowd.

Also, my little niece loved it, first time in a theatre, I was proud of her, but the main thing is that I enjoyed it so bollocks to her opinion.   ;)

Apparently, some folks consider that NMA are too posh...  :o

There's a big post about The Levellers on the Guardian website (as I mentioned on my own 'Levellers' thread here), and someone posted THIS after my inevitable comment about how NMA and The Levs are linked and how NMA are the better band (but putting it nicely and respectfully)... 

'NMA were too posh. They were ace live but there existed too many rumours about their clogs and working men's gear hiding guys who were educated privately etc. Just saying like and I did say they were a great live band. You could here the big posh, blonde one approach from a long way off. Magnificent clogs.'

Fair enough for the 'ace live' comment, the 'clogs' thing is a bit outdated but fair enough if you're looking at it from decades ago... but POSH?  Maybe my memory is a bit bad these days, but I don't recall Justin raising a champagne glass at the end of a gig and saying 'chin chin, dear chaps...'

You know in Finland our sauna customs include men and women having different times, or on the other hand just a family together. (But well yeah nowadays some places have a mixed system.) It's not that usual to speak so much during a sauna, just some chatting but otherwise enjoying the hot steam. There's also some skin stimulation tradition with "hiting" your back with birch tree leaves. The scent of the leaves is absolutely great.

They start filming tonight, might pop on over for a look... you're right, I'll probably see Sean Bean lying 'dead'...

For the record, I found out it's not a movie but a Sky TV show called 'Curfew', 'a full-throttle U.K. original set in the world of street racing. The car racers will compete in customized and weaponized vehicles as they race across the Britain in an attempt to escape the control of a totalitarian government' according to Variety magazine.  Sounds like a fun watch!

Going through my PM's over the years since I joined the NMA Forum... so much humour, so much support for me when I was in a bit of a down place, so many things than shine new light on the way the Forum is today... but, I have to say, a bit sad as well, seeing so many names who are absent from The Forum these days, for reasons I know not why.  Heno, you out there?  We used to have a laugh!  If you don't want to communicate in length with us anymore then fair enough, but a quick post to us just to let us know you're OK, eh?   :-\

Perhaps they are now using FB or Twitter or Whatssapp other ways to communicate - they are still members here and visit the forum one or too times a year - but their way of living and interests and communication changed :(
Yes, I miss a lot of members and interesting posts here, too

Ain't it great to ignite a bit of love for NMA in the hearts of newbies?  I've been indoctrinating a few people into the joys of NMA on another bands Forum and I'm getting nothing else than 100% approval!  They can't get enough!

Someone posted this to me on The Dreaded Facebook, a joke that I'm sure many of us can identify with...

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: "'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am". The man below replied "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude".

"You must be a technician." said the balloonist. "I am" replied the man "how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip with your talk."

The man below responded, "You must be in management". "I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fuckin' fault!

True story that happened today.  I was at my local supermarket, buying some stuff, and wearing a New Model Army T-shirt, as I am wont to do.  Quite a rare one, actually.  Some guy seems to be following me around... hmm, OK...  and just as I am about to go to the checkout, he pats me on the back, with the friendliest grin you've ever seen, and says 'NEW MODEL ARMY!  YEAH!' and gives me a proper thumbs up.

I, of course, gave a thumbs up in response and gave him a handshake, tried to communicate with him but he didn't seem to speak any English...didn't matter, he seemed so happy to communicate with a fellow fan.  He walked off with a grin on his face and I also had a smile on my face for a while afterwards...

Honestly.  That happened.   :)

I once read a comment (might have been on this Forum, maybe not, possibly even an urban myth) when someone noticed a young girl wearing a Ramones T-shirt, as seems to be quite fashionable.  It was kind of a rock pub, so he found some Ramones tracks on the jukebox and plugged them in, back to back, just to see her reaction.  Within three or so songs, she was saying 'what IS this crap...'   ;D

Blackadder : Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?
Baldrick : No, but I've often thought I'd like to.
Blackadder : Well don't, it's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough sinewy men roam the valleys terrorising people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick, you'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.

I saw my sister today and met her new(-ish) boyfriend for the first time.  He seems like a nice guy, which is good because all of the others have been right cockwombles.

That made me smile.

Another great post from The Daily Mash, one I will dedicate to any utter tosswomble who is coming to Nottingham and fancies talking LOUDLY over the quiet numbers...   ::)

What made me smile / laugh today?  The complete and utter random stuff that comes out of the mouths of kiddies... I was looking after my five year old niece today and, out of the blue, she decided that my name wasn't 'Uncle Ray'  but it is actually 'Mr Barbecue Hummington'... and she insisted on calling me that all afternoon.  I mean, WTF?  Where did that come from?   ;D

An old friend of mine from a crappy local band I used to play in is now playing in a 'proper' (and rather good) band (ie one with a record deal, getting great reviews all over the place and making expensive videos like the one beneath)  and I just took delivery of their new album... and he mentions our silly little band in his 'Thanks' credits...  :D

Had a conversation with a young lad at work today, he was boasting about how much great music he has today... I don't blame him, I'd have done the same at that age... but 1994 (before he was born) is 25 years ago and we had albums like...

...Let Love In, The Holy Bible, Jar Of Flies, Dog Man Star, Vauxhall And I, Dookie, Dummy, Definitely Maybe, Ill Communication, Nirvana Unplugged In New York, Vitalogy, Music For The Jilted Generation, Under The Pink, His 'n' Hers, Troublegum, The Division Bell, Monster, Grace, The Downward Spiral, Awake, Brave, Superunknown...

Yeah, match that, you little fucker!

Anyone here remember the kids TV show 'The Banana Splits'?  I always thought they were a bit creepy but most of my friends thought they were just funny.

And now, like so many other kids TV shows, it's been turned into a movie... and dammit, I was right all along!

Awwww... I might usually be a supremely cynical person, but stuff like that does make me go a bit 'lump in the throat'...

Hope your girl gets all good things in life and you get yourself out of the funk you're in...   ;)

I love that kind of stuff. It gets me through the day at school.

"My mum has a blue toothbrush but she is a girl"

"Does (insert random name) have a bike?"

"All sharks are evil and Mrs Nelson is a liar".

"There was a snake at the disco and the policeman underarresed it"

"I have a twin sister and I am the boy because boys are borned first".

"Where is Lasagne?" (in relation to looking for a girl called Nathania)

^^^^all real quotes from my school.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but my six year old niece decided a year ago that my real name is Mr Barbecue Hummington.  I'm seeing her tomorrow and she will doubtlessly greet me with that name.

The odd thing is that we've never been to a barbecue together...  :-\

Blimey... just when you thought that UK politics couldn't get any more ridiculous... UKIP has elected a man called Richard Braine as their new leader. So, seeing as 'Dick' is an accepted term for calling someone 'Richard', their new leaders name is 'Dickbrain '.

You truly couldn't make this shit up.   ;D

LMAO!!  Only in Canada!  ::)  Too many super bored nutters up here, lol.  ;D  Gotta love 'em though.  8)  Wednesday's high will be a cool -29°C, factor in the wind chill, and it'll feel like a brisk -37°C... and that's just daytime!  Don't know how they do it out there (or up north, and out east, for that matter), but it's really great to see folk making light of it, finding humour in a crap situation.  :)

Just popping in to update the link.

On another Football forum Im on, the discussion is about Tier, Levels, Divisions and Steps being used in statements from various Football associations. Someone said how confusing it is amongst official blurbspeak...The alternative terms used for simplicity are: Dollops, Scoops and Portions.
 And Bojo's announcements are Boris-o-grams.
Tickled me.

Well, I believe the earliest I have ever seen Christmas stuff in a German supermarket was 28th August...a former co-worker of mine and I had this "tradition" - whoever spotted the first batch of "Spekulatius" (which my online translator says is speculoo in English - a term I have never heard so not entirely sure) had to buy it and bring it to work. We'd eat one or two pieces with a cup of coffee, then the rest was put away until we felt more "christmassy".  ;)

I actually bought a pack at the local Aldi yesterday, going to resume this work tradition with my new co-worker.  :D

Being back on the NMA forum after a long time away... especially going onto my PM's and reading old PM messages exchanged between old pals, some of whom I had great times with at NMA gigs and most of whom are not active around these parts anymore.

Regardless of whether we ever communicate again I'll always have a lot of love for those folks, there was a time when we were somewhat tight and supporting of each other.   :)
