Coal Ornaments

Whilst making a cuppa in our work kitchen today I had a few moments to kill awaiting the kettle boiling. So I casually picked up one of the magazines lying on the side. You know the kind. The ones with the sensational ‘I slept with my best friends son’ kind of affair. So anyway I flicked through the trashy stories to the readers tips page (yes tips not wives).
Now I kid you not some of these people lead scary lives. Other than the woman espousing the use of tea when stewing rhubarb to make it less tart, which is scary in itself – some people actually stew rhubarb? More scarliy though was the woman who said ‘when cleaning coal ornaments simply use a shoe shine pad’
Question 1 – what is a coal ornament (no actually on second thoughts I don’t want to know)
Question 2 – who has coal ornaments (no actually on second thoughts I don’t want to know)
Question 3 – what the f*#k

It’s a while since I checked through my search requests. So when I cam across the i need a quiz to find out if im gay/lesbian I felt obliged to post it to Disturbing Search Requests

I have to say if you need a quiz to tell you then I’m guessing you’re not.
It’s something you just know.
If you don’t then I’m not going to be able to help. I have enough problems of my own thank you very much.

You said that love was just a state of mind


A puzzle made of pieces you can’t find. And for me you never really had the time, I was blind. And everything that you meant to me is written in the pages of my history.
But it’s over now as far as I can see. Suddenly things are so different now you’re gone. I thought it’d be easy I was wrong.

can anyone explain

Why my site is listed on Just-hair-styles-links.com
Portal for Hair Professionals 300,000 links and description for hair-related information organized alphabetically? I mean since when did I become a hair product?

darn

Orange have started checking what number you put into their WWW to SMS so now I can only text the UK from there. Not brilliant when half the people in my phone memory live outside the UK.
Looks like I need to find another cheaper SMS service. Although I must say Just Dial have turned out to be very useful recently. Talking is so much nicerr than texting too. Although I am not so good at flirting when I actually have to say it out loud 😉

Genius

I love the way sometimes when you have a few minutes to kill and you read a website or an email and follow a link and hit another site and follow a link you end up with something utterly genius in nature that you would never otherwise have stumbled across. Like today for instance. Things my girlfriend and I have argued about was the genius site for today. ready.gov parody was the close runner up.
Thanks to the usual suspects for filling my lunch hour with entertaining surfing.

i thought sam fox was bad

However reading popbitch today I noticed that Jeff “yeah shoot that load” Stryker has released a country album.

Storyville

I’ve not watched much on BBC4 really since it launched. However tonight I sat and watched a programme about the Smith family and their struggle to come to terms with both parents being infected with HIV.
Throughout the programme I was astounded by two things. The first was how forgiving and strong Kim was when she discovered not only that her husband had been having homosexual affairs, but that he had also infected her with HIV.
I was also astounded by how strong the bond within the family was. Nonwithstanding the fact they are mormon. I mean the fact that they play together, socialise together, talk to each other openly. It really made me think that if more families where like this then the world might be a better place. Which of course through me on the tangent of if there where more mormons then this might be the case.
Now I know any of you who know me are thinking hold on a second isn’t this the same man that blames religion for all the woes in the world? Well yes. In this case though I’m wavering.
Not too much you understand. Mormons don’t see eye to eye with me on the whole being gay thing.
Tony says “Being a religious teenager is just like being a normal teenager.” It’s just a shame that the church couldn’t also say “Being a gay teenager is just like being a normal teenager.” And of course I’m sure he would be as understanding if his kid brother Parker turned out to be gay as well as his dad?
Then of course if you actually take time out to read any of what a large section (70% are mormon) of the Utah population do each day it involves hours of scripture reading daily, going out and ‘preaching’ (I’d hesitate to say recruiting as too many parallels could be drawn there I think) and other forms of proselytizing (damn see I just did say recruiting in another way – couldn’t help myself).
Oh and then there is the whole name badge thing.
So okay I’m back on my side of the fence again. No more wavering, religion is evil.
Anyway if you get a chance to see this repeated then I highly recommend it.
