Rey_Piste Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I mentioned in the gig thread that I went to a punk gig yesterday afternoon. Well today I am really feeling the effects of it. I am aching and sore from jumping about like a twat. 10 years ago I would have thought nothing of it, but now I am really regretting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrK Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My 5 year old daughter asked me last week if she could watch the “terrible teeth programme”. After much questioning I wasn’t any the wiser as to what programme she was talking about. Earlier today, the penny dropped when we were both sat in front of the TV and an advert for tomorrow’s Jeremy Kyle came on. “The terrible teeth programme” is a better description for Jeremy Kyle than I could ever have come up with. And I’m now disappointed in myself for not guessing it at the time. For anyone interested in the answer to the original question. No, she cannot watch the terrible teeth programme!

cobra_gordo Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 That reminds me of a conversation I had with my 14 year old last week when she asked if we could watch that film about the boy and his pet robot. "Iron Giant?" No. "Big Hero Six?" No. She says "It's got that Arnold Schwarzguy in it". I says "Terminator 2?!?" She says yeah, that's the one. A boy and his pet murderous robot. Fucks sake. Fairly apt description though I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy unfortunate enough to have both. He's a nutcase. Dyspraxia, Aspergers and they're sure I have Dyslexia as well. If collecting disorders was like when I collectes Pokémon cards, I'd still have no idea what to do with any of them and look as nerdy and unsociable as I did.

Not meaning to play arrested development Top Trumps, but I've got another friend with dyspraxia, Asperger's and dyscalculia who's nice but very anxious. Except for the moments when he's not worrying and gets reckless and impulsive instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 My old university has just decided to start its new mental health campaign, looking to "celebrate mental health" in the institution… They've called it fucking Wonkee Wednesdays. The genuine level of dense that some of the higher ups in that place must be is staggering that this ever got allowed. With a banner on the main drive with the letters all at angles as well like a trashy club night. Worst part is that it strives on having some of the best literature and writing staff in the country and can't even spell Wonky. As you can guess people are pretty incredibly pissed off to a level I don't think I've ever seen in the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think I get the intention but "celebrating" mental health seems completely inappropriate and borderline inflammatory. Did they not run this by anyone sane before rolling it out? Academic/campus bubbles can be the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 Seemingly a joint effort by Student Support, the Uni heads and some input from the Students Union. Considering the SU's Mental Health rep and society both seem highly against the idea, I'd hazard a guess that student input was at an all time high..

Paid Members Wretch Posted December 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 6, 2018 I've just seen a horse and carriage go down my road with a little pink coffin on the back, about four feet long, with the parade of cars behind it on the way to the church.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I just passed a grocery store called "Khan Food's Store" in mile end. Didn't manage to get a photo as I am in a cab but the apostrophe appalled me and I thought @air_raid might like to know, amongst others.
