Wall of Mouths

Ranting about banks.

I have no money so I go overdrawn
I’m overdrawn so they charge me
Because the charge is paid out whilst I am overdrawn I get charged for paying a bill when I am overdrawn.
So because I have no money, I now owe them £50.
Which means I have no money so I go overdrawn
And the cycle repeats and exacerbates until I really really have no money.

If I didn’t have a bank account:

I have no money
I get paid
I have money.

new album! wow. might even be worth a live show

Oh fuck! That’s seriously nasty - he’ll be lucky to get out of that alive.

You’re right though - very Slayer-y disease

Sweet Jesus, did that guy ever find his lost Prozac?

Entertaining though the lunatic fringe conspiracy theorists are, I see we have little option but to believe our government and intelligence agencies if they say there are justifiable reasons to go to war. It may be unpalatable and it may not be the easiest thing to do, but how many 7/7’s have been stopped through the course of the military action? I know some people in the intelligence community, and although they never discuss their work, I know they work incredibly long hours and can be very busy.

As for the poor soldiers - I was on a train with 2 lads from Blackburn going to sign up for the first time recently - both about 17 - lovely guys, energetic, funny, genuine and excited. They’ll (hopefully) come out of the army well disciplined, trained and mature. much better than lurking in bus shelters smoking ratty fags through nicotine stained fingers and drinking cheap white cider. What would they do if they didn’t go into the army? Well there’s no jobs, and they can’t afford to go to Uni (who can?) so for them it is a viable career. I don’t fancy it myself, but all the more credit to them for doing it.

As for the Therapy? lads and their involvement in the war - let’s hark back to Not in Any Name from High Anxiety for a moment, the chorus speaks for itself and

“My Grandfather, was cannon fodder, to think he died for the likes of you” is pretty self-explanatory too. I don’t think you can even remotely claim that T? are pro-war.

I’m glad you’ve expressed your opinion and it’s provoked a rather deeper debate than the usual range of farting, telly and nonsense, but I think there are some big inaccuracies in what you’re claiming.

Are they meant to be lumpy?

I’ve decided today that I do like Chutzpah! after all.

I have to draw a diagram on an eyeball for an assignment, and the CD makes the perfect template to sketch around.

I also have a cat. She’s very helpful

I haven’t got Mandela or Sheen. Shitbiscuits.

Looks like I’ll be coming last or comitting many crimes.

Thankyou all! 30 seems OK so far - I went snowboarding this morning and I’m about to go out for a big fat juicy steak. Hurrah!

FUCKSTICKS!

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse - I always thought that the middle solo was quite T? and would be interesting to see them inject some testosterone into the verses

The whirring of the fan on the laptop - AMD chips are so much better.

Why am I still awake?

Oooooh - and Owen Wilson is my Wildcard.

Move aside bitches.

Daddy’s back!

I’m going with the remains of my decimated 2009 list (except the ones who no longer look like they’ll die), some smart looking picks from other lists, and a handful of randomers thrown in for good measure.

Good luck everyone!

1) Kirk Douglas
2) Margaret Thatcher
3) Zsa Zsa Gabor
4) Chuck Berry
5) Michael Douglas
6) Kim Jong Il
7) Fidel Castro
8) Jimmy Carter
9) David Arquette
10) Jim Hellwig (Ultimate Warrior)
11) Hacksaw Jim Duggan
12) Sir Peter Tapsell (MP for Horncastle and Louth)
13) Peter Sallis
14) Dame Vera Lynn
15) Katy Perry
16) Russel Brand
17) Ringo Starr
18) Owen Wilson
19) Abdullah the Butcher
20) Bobby Heenan

Retired Wrestlers are always good value for money, they drop like flies, especially the ‘roid freaks. The elderly are fair game, and if I was shagging Katy Perry it would certainly finish me off. Go to it team.

Me and Nigella Lawson - would it ever work?

To further complicate the issue I have just learned that the parent company is opening a store close to home - about 5 minutes up the road in fact from the one I am looking at- in June. (factor in builders and read September/October)

This will be v. busy and v. high profile, and will likely take a bit of trade from the one I am looking at taking a job with - doesn’t cure the career progression conundrum any though.

There’s no danger of the franchisee going under - they’re a multiple franchisor running about 30 different locations with 4 or 5 franchises in each location.

The share value kind of depends on the performance of the company - they’re at about a 5 year high now! Each time I sell my option sI earn about £1000, so I’ll get 4 times that back in travel costs. And the time is a huge draw too…

I’m looking at a job opportunity but it’s a bit complicated and I’m not sure what I should do.

It is working for the same brand as I do at the moment, but the store is not owned by the brand in question, rather it is licensed to a third party, and it is them who I would be working for. The money is about the same, and the perks and benefits are broadly similar. I currently have a few share options with the company I work for, and these mature each year and I can then sell them - I would lose all of those if I moved. There is the vague possibility that the parent company might open a store closer to home which would be a better option, but I don’t know when and there’s no surety that I will get it.

The upside is that the new job is much much closer to home, and would save me about £300 a month on fuel, and about 7 hours a week in travel time.

I’m not going to blindly go with what you guys say but I’d appreciate your opinions.

Without doubt the best release since SPYF is Crooked Timber. Never Apologise, Never Explain a close second.

Country’s fucked though lads isn’t it? We spent all our money buying the banks and providing teenage pregnancy coordinaters and livestock mental health integration specialists for 13 years and now we have to do something to balance the books. Spending’s got to be cut, where do you do it? With the levels of debt we’re at it’s everywhere.

It’s shit, but what else is there for us to do? Run cap in hand to China and ask for some backdated babysitting money for looking after Hong Kong all those years?

David Millipede is the winner in all this becuase he’s going to come out of it in 15 years as Prime Minister with a healthy economy which is can royally fuck up, after Ed gets in next time round and the Cons go back in the time after.

I’ll come to California and play you troublegum off my ipod if you like? And you buy my plane ticket!

Hope this helps.

Great gig but I don’t think I got the full effect of it. I went with my friend from London, who some of you met with me in the Bull and Gate before the show. Her boyfriend was one of my best mates and he died in the summer from complications with his diabetes. It’s the first time I have seen her since the funeral and I had managed to make her cry before we even left the pub. She was basically in floods of tears all the way through the gig and so I spent most of the time trying to look after her and make sure that she was OK. I still enjoyed the show - was great to hear Troublegum in full.

We went back to the Bull and Gate after the show (don’t know if I saw any of you in there) and we were chatting about him, she feels guilty that she wasn’t with him when he died - she was away for the weekend, and she thinks that she could have saved his life if she had been there. By the time it came for us to leave the pub we’d both been crying our eyes out! (I’m THAT guy!)

It’s certainly a gig I’ll not forget, very emotional and really really hard. He would have thought it was brilliant. Sorry if I was weird or off with anyone I had met earlier, and I hope you don’t think I’m a crazed weirdo for crying my eyes out in the pub after a Therapy? gig. If I did behave like a cunt to anyone, drop me a message and let me know what I did! I unreservedly apologise.

hungover to fuck right now…

I’m still oop noorth. can’t believe I’m getting in so much later!

Consider yourself at ease then! I promise to be nice.

You will of course have to pass our initiation rite.

Which is, er…

Something to do with eels and a 9V battery.

I’m the one twitching and squirming.

I’m aiming to be in the bull some time after 6. Expecting to wear Get Dreunk Headband T-Shirt, and possibly Smily bones hoody depending on how cold and pathetic I feel

I thought you were talking about some tart from Middleton (Leeds or Manchester) and I couldn’t work out who we knew that might be shacked up with a Tart from Middleton. Thanks for sorting out my stupidity Gav
