metaphoria

"Avoid a double-dip recession".

Eh? It is arguable that we are already in it, or haven't yet got out the first, no?

It's all subjective, but I like art that demonstrates skill built through many years of hard work on a bedrock of natural talent. Truly great art should be something that no one else could do, or would have thought to do.

There's a piece of 'work' by Martin Creed entitled "Lights Going On and Off".

Because I've just eaten a bit of him? Oops, that applies to catholics too:D.

Bigots of the world unite.

I'm afraid you're in a valley of a hilly area, somewhere.

Accept it.

There's some miserable fecks on here.

I did art GCSE at school, and some of what I did was good, but most of I did was rubbish.

It was 'art', but it wasn't good.

I think we are missing the point here. I think anything creative can be defined as 'art'. However, sometimes people can create ugly things with little effort. Or people can just produce something as disgusting as possible in order to cause controversy, and then class it as 'art' because it provokes conversation and thought.

So does Jeremy Kyle.

But it still takes a gifted genius with a rare talent to produce something which is undoubtedly beautiful.

Wow...

 

Again though, if we are to interpret Satan as a metaphor, are we also to interpret God as a metaphor?

Yes.

Either neither are real, or both are.

Chill. Economies rise and fall, and rise again.

And if they don't we'll all be in it together and perhaps bond with our neighbours (we might even talk to people we can actually see) And like all good people do in times of hardship, we'll make do and mend.

Keep calm and carry on ;-)

Sorry, I meant 'fitty'.

each to their own, but I would say "not really".

Dresses smart but is unconventional, has manners but can be outrageously funny. Sophisticated without losing the common touch. Manly in looks, but has a sensitive side.

Each to their own indeed, but I'd say: 'bitty'.

Isn't anyone watching this?

It's such an intriguing storyline, with great characters.

Mentaly ill man that caused a situation that the police had to respond to. You can complain about the police, but they didn't create this situation.

Ruined lives.

I suppose you have to consider his family and show some respect to that, but to blame the police is just absurd, IMO.

Frecking nora. 2 mins to take out a pair of earrings, hours and hours to discuss the semantics of it.

Do the math!

Sounds too amicable to bin it.

Charity shop, I'd say.

Re my above.

 

I forgot to mention; you often have to lie and say you want to marry them.

That lie gets you into bed better than half the time assuming you've done the chocs and so on first.

I've read that a couple of times, and it still makes no sense to me, or has any relevance to the question that I can see.

At least it's somewhat predictable from upinwath, in an ewww kind of way.

Still, like moderators who implicate rules, they also have to abide by them :-0

Health and safety has gone mad in some areas, but jewellery in school isn't such a laughable one I guess

No. Just a rule.

Yeah, so as I said, removing earrings / jewellery for PE makes much more sense in terms of health and safety.

Ah right, I see where you're coming from, now.

Taking earrings out for PE makes more H&S sense than the people who change foods in vendings machines and have to wear hard hats and steel toe capped boots

No not really, earings could be fairly easily caught, or accidently pulled out during A P.E. class, and apart from the possibility, you could guarantee the in-depth explanation and subsequent report/investigation that a parent would expect if it did happen. Not suprising the teachers are so stringent on these matters.

The likelyhood of a few mars bars falling on a vending machine operator is more unlikely to cause injury, or investigaton.

I'd say see it as a privilige, that someone who loves you is giving you some honesty, the kind that which polite adults can't.

What is the problem? We are talking earrings here, not something massively important to the ultimate survival and education of a child.

Just take them out. Teachers have health and safety reasons which they have to adhere to.

Accept it. And get a grip. Jeez, these teachers must have a difficult job now. I bet they have to spend more time explaining things to parents than children.

Don't be silly Zebra, and stop being a rebel. The teacher says no, support the teacher, and you teach your child respect for authority.

Stand against it and you end up with a rebellious child. Don't come back complaining when your child is a teenager and ignores you when you say, "no".

I think he did fantastic. (same as when he swam the channel the other year)

 

 

Gorgeous, isn't he?

My Brother rang yesterday, their Garden backs onto the Thames, they actually saw David Walliams swimming.

Cool.

He did it!
