I don't think it's necessary but it pretty much inevitably comes up if you're in a longer relationship.

I love people who watch five minutes of something, ignore a thing we like to call "context" and generalise a far more complex idea as something so basic. That said, I do regard Iron as a permanent troll these days. Personally I think it's a fascinating show with a great storyline and...

I've read about 15/20 guilty pleasures this year, 15 solid good reads and 10 blegh books. I like my guilty pleasures - Dean Koontz or other random crime novels are very fun to read on the train.

I actually don't mind it. On a flight in the states we were delayed by an hour because a whole bunch of people brought oversize luggage on board and it literally would not fit on the plane so they had to either squeeze them in or gate check which takes for fucking ever. Because a number of...

Since it's only 3cm it's not too big a deal. The only time this will matter is if they're being pedantic and make you put it in the "guide dimensions". If it doesn't fit into that then they won't let you take it on. I saw them do that to a guy who had a bag that had a bulge. He took out a...

Since I can write and read as demonstrated by this thread, your argument lacks quite a bit of credibility. Stop being a hostile teenager. Animal Farm is a brilliant example of allegory but not a literary masterpiece - it's far too blunt as well as bordering on preachy. Stop swallowing what has...

Right... Before I put you on Ignore - it's not a masterpiece either. Anyways, I'd love to hear what nerdsforever thinks about their glaring obliviousness.

... And the 08er doesn't make sense again. You edited your post after I posted mine. Either way, I find it very hard to fathom that a high school student could read Animal Farm and completely miss the everpresent and permeating allegory that really makes the book. And if they did, wouldn't...

... See above. And don't copy+paste from random websites.

The sad thing is that this is one of the most obvious allegories ever written. That would be my biggest complaint about the book - that it's too obvious - and yet nerdsforever has completely missed that.

I cannot believe you just called Animal Farm "cute". I hate the world :(

Don't get a crappy plastic or veneer bookshelves - they will collapse/chip/break within a few years. Don't go to Officeworks either or any of the chains as the same thing will happen. I'd recommend going to a few wood furniture stores. I got a fabulous wooden bookshelf from one in Crows Nest...

I'm just finishing Wonderful Town, a collection of stories from The New Yorker. Fabulous anthology.

How exactly will you make them grow up and show respect though?

I very much dislike this. I'd prefer the patdown I think. I'll be at LAX in a week though so it'll be interesting to see if/how they're working then.

That's me. Sometimes you have to employ the whole "tough love" crap when it comes to your friends if they're doing really stupid things and refusing to listen to reason. You can't coddle them all the time. Although, if they're making fun of you for the sake of it (which is how it sounds...

Which is exactly what happens the first time you smoke marijuana :rolleyes: HAHAHAHA Right. Sorry but no way. I'd say I have more control when high than when drunk. It's just that the high from marijuana is consistent whereas when you're drinking it's a progressive thing.

Re: URGENT REQUEST on my review on EDUCATING RITA wrong right??check my errors plzzz Actually no, if you read the brief it says people who are 21 and older. You don't have to use lofty language, just don't be patronising. Also, don't flat out capitalise words - it doesn't work to be...

Or you know, not vote. Or vote for an independent. It's not either/or.

Re: my review on EDUCATING RITA did i do it wrong or right check me gramma as well pl Okay what the? Don't capitalise, don't be so colloquial and "me" is not "my". Phrases like "me gender" and "me mates" should be "my gender" and "my mates". And then "I just got" should be "I just have"...
