'cavorting with loose women'... i like the sound of that!

I have few better memories than sex education at school. Images of naked ladies. Fooling around with condoms. *reminisces*



Although, during the first round of sex education, aged 10, I think, all us boys were rather perplexed when the girls all got whisked off into a separate room for some 'extra' sex ed. When they emerged half an hour later with what appeared to be 'party bags' we were also jealous. In retrospect they were probably being told about tampons, periods and everything else that goes with along with that (and I assume the 'party bags' had some free tampons in them).

Yeah, being a girl is quite the fucking bloody party!

Literally.

personally i love a bit of carrot cake. mmmm.

Then you should've been at the listening party we had in Brixton. Oooh, it was equisite. But right now I'm fancying walnut cake OR some fresh fruit cake with some really nice cheddar.

Heh. I'm wondering if the 1950s (if not earlier) booklet by the co-op I think, that my mother left on my bed when I was about 18, is included in it. smiling smiley

By the co-op!?! Random.

*munches cake and glomps all*

Going back to the slip physical release briefly - the original press release definitely said unnumbered general release in Europe but it just never happened. Noone seems to have ever come up with a reason for that other than they just changed their mind. I believe 2 unnumbered copies have been located in various places in the world. As far as how the info was gathered - you'll quickly come to release anon that nin fans are generally a very close knit bunch and incredibly geeky/obsessive compulsive winking smiley

Djred - Any shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester... that's where you'll find me if/when there's a UK tour! smiling bouncing smiley
However, I'm often in Nottingham/Manchester/Sheffield so I'm quite easy to find SOMEWHERE NEARBY and say hello to!
Meet-ups around gigs are awesome, but there's no need to wait for the gigs to get together! grinning smiley

We definitely need to arrange a meet-up. Any of those places would be fine for me.

Shows or no shows... We'll still have to do it!! smileys with beer



Edit- anon re: The Slip, like most other people, I downloaded first and then bought smiling smiley

As long as I have my portable hair straighteners, then I'm fine.

Hmmm, what are these portable hair straighteners you speak of, eh? Those sound perfect for travels! ( i searched high and low for straighteners when we were over, and found some in an electrical shop outside Pickering. They barely heated up, so subsequently, my hair was HUGE! thumbs down)

Ohmigods, I LOVE sticky ginger cake!! No sticky ginger cake is safe anywhere near me - I'll scoff the lot in under a nanosecond (...and that includes scraping the off the bits that get stuck to the paper...)

so who read that Stephen fry article and identified themselves as a web snob? smiling smiley
It's nice to see something a little more positive about the internet as long as it doesn't encourage any more of my family to try it, those online already seem to manage to download all viruses known to mankind

Even with straight hair the hairdresser tries to use straighteners on me but I only ever go once or twice a year so I think they're trying to convert me

 

03/11/09 4:48 AM

My hair is naturally quite wavey, but not pretty wavey. It's more kinda dragged-through-a-wet-hedge-backwards wavey...

Grrr...



If anyone tried to separate me from my straightners, limbs would be lost!!

I'm the opposite. I want a generic email domain. I don't need my email address advertising the fact that I spend far too much time online and basically need to Get Out More. No sir.

AAARRGGGHHHHH - there's no chance of those going is there?

I was sorting out a new site and hit submit instead of preview. Backpeddled, hit my browser and it went back to preview - so I thought all was ok.

UNTIL I GOT HERE .............

for some reason, what I was going to say has shot clean out of my head and I now want to hide

Why does it happen to me?
