Now, it's all making sense! Bunch of dodgy dealers in Bracknell.

Please send cake.

[Tunster]

Please send cake.

2nd'ed. Marble cake would be nice.

In other news, it's tomorrow I'm off on my 1st/2nd date. Everyone I've spoken to about it has basically told me to man up. So if I * this opportunity up, it'll at least be done in style.

[The Deadly]

Just remember that no means no. If you force it then you'll be arrested.

Yupidy yup. Banned and put on the no go list. Why do women make it so difficult to let you know what they're thinking?

[MK Chris]

Well done Deadly, good luck.

[The Deadly]

Thanks. First day back at work after two weeks off and I've not even thought about it. Because of my jobs casual nature and the amount of spare time I have during the day I'd easily have smoked 10 fags by now.

[dimtimjim]

Good on you sir.

Although I haven't smoked full time for two years, I have been jus' couple of time a week when with friends or having a pint etc. But managed to knock that on the head too, into week 3 and loving it. Obviously not so much for the money side of things, 3/4 a week hardly broke the bank, but for health reasons, s'all good. Amazing how much more I can smell now, too! (mind you, thats not always good!). Not found it too hard either, although I would never smoke when away on family holiday, for example, and could easily manage a week without then.

I can't think of anything I'd look forward to less.

[The Deadly]

The One Show made me smile, which is rare. Down one end of their sofa Tulisa. Someone who is wealthy and famous for little or no reason and down the other, six kids who all have disabilities that rode around Britain in a Rikshaw to raise money for Children in Need. They raised over a million pounds where as she gave someone a very poor blowjob and released even poorer music.

Good job kids.

[Boboff]

It's also a cliche to knock her now though is it not?

Personally I like N Dubs, and her voice is very good.

She had a difficult upbringing, and from an early age showed drive, ambition and determination.

There is no such thing as a very poor blowjob IMO, even looking like a camel sucking a golf ball through a hose pipe is still a good one, sorry.

As for a bunch of kids peddling a rick shaw from Wales to London, well done, that is an achievement.

[dimtimjim]

Again, I agree with Sir Bob. Tulisa has done very well for herself, especially from where she came from. Yes, the sex vid is a blot on her rep, but I still believe she deserves to be where she is today.

[Yudster]

The sex vid was never a blot, it was a brilliantly managed opportunistic PR excercise which increased her profile and subsequently her popularity enormously.

[SAV1OUR]

Really?

I don't think any self-respecting person would put themselves through that.

Bag fer balls, publicity stunt and all that.

[chrysostom]

There was a split as to whether it was or not. I was of the opinion that it wasn't planned, but was well managed.

[Boboff]

Exactly Chrys, well put.

[Yudster]

I don't think it was deliberately planned, but having happened, it was put to excellent use - and I don't believe for one minute that the temporary issues which she may have had regarding self respect (I can't help laughing when I write that...) were well purchased by the overwhelming benefits it all brought her. She made damn sure it kept going for far longer than it needed to as well, every time it was out of the news for a few days there was another unnecessary quote, or a family member chipped in with their pennyworth - it was so transparent it was unreal.

[Misfit]

it was also a really shit blowjob.

[Boboff]

*cough, no, it wasn't, it can't be.

[SAV1OUR]

Never mind then.

*puts fun away*

[Yudster]

You need to get a blog.

[SAV1OUR]

Why? Cos I'm expressive? Or just a bit hungover?

[Yudster]

That way we wouldn't have to read dreary excerpts from your apparently featureless life on here.

Wow that sounds harsh. Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Well I did, kind of, but not as nasty as that came out. Nowhere near.

I will now remove my grumpiness from the Smile thread, where it clearly doesn't belong.

[SAV1OUR]

Pfft!

Nice.
