Tht tends to burn it on, smoke up the kitchen, and foul the hot plate. And then they put a sticker INSIDE the pan too. :p

Charlie Bloody Brooker.
Sorry - Brit-centric post. Though you might have caught him online, I spose.

Julie Burchill is an uber-bitch.
She has almost a completely opposite life view to me.
I don't really rate her as a writer.
BUT
Every now and then, through her spite and her ranting, I get it.
I rarely agree with her, but she does make me look at things from a different angle. She makes me question my views, my prejudices, my assumptions.

Charlie Brooker writes for a paper I admire.
A paper whose political and social views I pretty much agree with.
But the man is a shit.
Occasionally, I've questioned myself after reading one of his rants.
Occasionally. And within a second I've dismissed his POV because he's just an arsehole.

So now he has his own TV programme.
Oh hohoho Charlie.
Not as easy as you made out to have a hit, is it?
It's a bit shit really, isn't it?
You can pour bile on everything you're reviewing on the tellybox, but the onus is on you to make that bile entertaining in its own right, isn't it Charlie? AND YOU DON'T.

I came upstairs to type this rather than watch his programme.
AND Frank Skinner is on it - he's so quick witted (and an intelligent punster - something I thought was an oxymoron)

Sorry, just wanted to get it out of my system.
Charlie Brooker is intelligent. He writes well. He writes for a left wing paper. And I think he's a spiteful cunt.

The government gives all people receiving unemployment 25 extra dollars.

They then tax you five.

Pretty stupid stuff and another reason to shift from payroll to sales taxes.

skysidhe · 08-21-2009, 11:19 AM

Ironic and weird yet not suprising.

Shawnee123 · 08-26-2009, 12:18 PM

Dentist tomorrow. Yank this damn tooth outta my head (heh...then I'll be a damn yank-ee.)

I might also look into having my caps (the result of a playground accident in 2nd grade: the whole story is on the Cellar somewhere) re-done. It will cost a fortune, but now is as good a time as any I guess.

Maybe if my mouth doesn't hurt too bad after my 1 pm appt I'll go swimming.

Demand drugs regardless. Always get the drugs....

Shawnee123 · 08-26-2009, 05:03 PM

Yeah, I'm thinking you're right. A cow orker helped me out with the pain today...teeheheeee.

I WAS miserable.

Clodfobble · 08-26-2009, 05:39 PM

Goddamn raisins with sulphur-fucking-dioxide, that's what.

Undertoad · 08-26-2009, 06:23 PM

Almost all dried fruits use it, or they develop bacteria, molds and etc. through decay. It's also good at preserving the color of dried fruit, so if a dried fruit looks like what it was, it probably has the preservative. All wines contain this, even if not added, as some amount occurs naturally. Also check for it in OJ and other fruit drinks.

Cloud · 08-26-2009, 06:26 PM

I keep my prunes in the frig.

DanaC · 08-26-2009, 07:17 PM

stupid fuckwit fucking shopkeepers who put their stupid fucking over-sticky price stickers right over the cooking instructions of their stupid fucking over-priced ready meals.

That is all.

Cloud · 08-27-2009, 12:48 PM

MS Word, who has put Bold and Italics on their little quick access pop up menu, but not Underline. They want to phase out Underline.

But that's just dumb.
