why idolise when you can admire?

Why have cotton when you can have silk?

cotton when properly prossed can be very light and absorbant, silk is more luxurus and is heaver with not as much breathabily.

please don't use things that can be easy distingeshed, I like to nit pick

-- DoctorMO --

I'd noticed.

But silk feels nicer.

I think cotten feels nicer, but then I prefare it when it rains and when it's frezzing cold, so nothing new.

-- DoctorMO --

Are you part of that weather equality thing?

er no.... what weather equality thing?

I realy do prefare freezing cold to boiling hot.

-- DoctorMO --

You really should be. In there's a page of classified ads, and somewhere in that is some campaign for equal weather rights. For people that like rain and snow (well, I like snow. It's just rain I don't like) etc.

I am in the post, I'm a reporter I do graphics and things.

I'll have a look...

I wouldn't mind working for . Everyone who reads wouldn't mind working for it. By contrast, I probably would mind working for The Sun.

you'd get paid more, but would you get the intelagence that you get with the post?

-- DoctorMO --

Precisely! I might start working for them as some kind of deep- seated irony, but it wouldn't go any further. I could give it up any time I like. Honest.

You could always try the times?

-- DoctorMO --

They wouldn't accept me. And they have some quite good ironic and sarcastic stuff already.

yes but it wouldn't be quality control, would it?

how things btw?

-- DoctorMO --

With me? Well, I don't like the Christmas period. They should have christmas in mid- summer. It's cold and wet and illness- inducing, and there's so much false good cheer and jollying into things that that just creates bad will. And the commercialisation. /Don't/ get me started on the commercialisation. It's in winter that I really start to like Nirvana. Especially the stuff that's really bleak, and also some of the stuff that it sounds like Kurt wrote when he was drunk or high, or possibly both. But apart from that, I'm fine.

You?

I like Weird Al Yankovic's Smells like Nirvana.

During christmas, the only beef I have is with my mother, she won't stop taking out loans, it's like a drug and it's starting to get on my nerves because now I have a job I'm the one bailing her out. come on it's suposed to be the other way round isn't it? the teenager with no repect for life nor liberty, drinking and staying out all the time and recless spending.

Commersialism is best aproched with no money, you can laugh at adverts because your skint. and you can explain to people how, you'd love to take them up on there offer of a barbie but for the fact you only have 27p left in you bank acount. Oh and cut up any credit cards too, no good being able to spend money you don't have, unless it's a dier emegency.

The Jolliness of people, is because most people feel that other people should get along with each other, ep at this time of the year. what pointless is the fact that they jump into these things with out taking things slowly, I got 32,000 people to convert to happy desiens and I don't think I'm doing it in one life time so...

Better to have real good cheer anyway, oh whats it called again... happyness. good cheer is just looking upon things with a positive atatude, 'Oh look, it's you. the part of the family I would realy have hated to have come to christmas dinner, but I'll have to smilie and be nice for now.' it's when you can say, 'by invetation only by hosts, bye bye uncle x, autie y or sister z'

p.s sorry for the long post.

-- DoctorMO --

No problem. I recognise full and well that I'm a miserable .

What are desiens?

Actually it's mostly my immediate family that get on my nerves. The world of "nice" is irritating and my parents are "nice"- obsessed. The more obscure your family, the more fun they are.

mine must be halairous then, most of my family suffer from some form of clinical depresion, niether of my parents have worked in the last 17 years and one is a drunk engeneer with less sense then a table cloth and the other is slightly more unstable then fraud would have liked any human to be. as for my sisters well, I've got a horse faced anti men elder sister, an army cadet with a real mean atatude and the other thats going on a crash coarse in social guttering. my extended familiy gets worse, an epelptic aunt that is convinced my mother ows her... what it must be millions of pounds by now, an aunt control frek, and gues what 80% of my mother side of the familiy is female and they seem to have all been hurt or pissed off by men. damb.

and I think that proves I'm just as a sad git as anyone else realy.

You?

-- DoctorMO --

Sorry, when I meant obscure I meant furthest reaching.

I'm alright for family I suppose it's just this "nice" obsession that really annoys me. Not much to whinge about I suppose. But I once did this experiment. I went to my room and started a stopclock, and every thirty seconds someone would yell for me to come and do something. And the most annoying thing was that it would usually be the same person as last time telling me something they forgot to tell me last time.
