It's a bit of both I suppose. You are the way you are, but you might choose to accentuate certain parts of it once you start to realise what it means and the impact it can have.

It's always worth resurrecting this: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/showflat.p...part=1&vc=1

It's a funny one like. I've got a few gay mates who are absolute screamers, but by and large I tend to get on far better with lads who wouldn't set your gaydar pinging at all. I'm sure some people play up the campness, but it's obviously ingrained to a certain extent.

Fucking hell. Football, its not for girls. Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book in every Dewey decimal category. shame Brighton are at the wrong end of the table. Oh, I see, I'm gay so... Very good. (You meant "at the arse end of the table" though. )

Aye, that's my main problem with the idea of starting a company rather than just freelancing. I'm a control freak, I know I'm better at what I do than the vast majority of other translators (primarily because it's a hugely specific area and utterly unimportant in the grand scheme of things), plus I hate people.

Fucking hell.

Since when did he have any influence on here?

Friends of mine used to run the bar/restaurant at a sports club in Mainz-Kastel. I once asked why they had a Croatian coat of arms on the wall behind the bar. Proof of the protection money they'd paid to the local mob, apparently.

I'd have a cracking holiday with the 5K then go freelance.

Croatia and Serbia are very different yet the Slovenians, of all people, are just like the Russians? Rightio.

Quality that. The Scots man think he is not really sorry, the irish man think it wasnt really r@cist and the English man thinks its not very funny. Theres a joke there somewhere. Probably a racist one.

You've got to be this kind of cruel to be this kind of kind.

I ought to unleash my better half on this place. Finally, a practical use for a degree in Serbian and Croatian Studies.

I like the use of inverted commas in the other news sources shown: Edinburgh Evening News: Jason 'sorry' for racist joke Belfast Telegraph: David Jason apologises for 'racist' radio joke Bucks Free Press: David Jason apologises for 'joke'

if I was already loaded and was responsible for a lot of angry people losing their jobs, I would A bit harsh to suggest it was former employees of his fiefdom. That is unless you are presuming that we can pin an inevitable correction in a totally overstreched economy on the actions of a few people. Goodwin and his empire building are in the past and the longer people yearn for some figurative retribution, the longer we'll miss the opportunity to look at the challenges ahead. Goodwin pressing ahead with the ABN Amro deal did not bring down the UK economy- yet it seems to be as if it did. Let's not forget that Teflon Gordon is more than happy to keep the press fed about the evils done by "the City" under a regulatory system that he not only created, but boasted about around the world. Yet now he's off to the states telling people how it should be done. Bit of an about-face, that. This sort of action only helps the sort of yobs who will be 'protesting' against the G20 next week as they wreak a general trail of havoc and interrupt the lives of thousands of workers so we can listen to the same message that has been relayed countless times in the past, only to be forgotten on Monday as we struggle to find glaziers who wil repair this damage out of the goodness of their own hearts. This is an incredibly important point.

I shouldn't worry too much Magma, your time will come. And it's not like you need to worry about having galloping nob-rot or owt like that. SMO on the other hand...... I'm cleaner than Meenzer's poo tube i'll have you know! I suppose that's sort of a compliment, in a weird way. Or at least I hope it is.

Aye. And all I know about him is his son used to host Canadian Idol.

Isn't the passport office in Düsseldorf? They probably thought you were speaking in code. Or tongues.

They're all useless. When my bank/debit card was suspended because of suspicious activity before Christmas, the Barclays call centre drone went through about ten minutes of past transactions - "have you used a betting website called Paddy Power, sir?" "did you withdraw money in Beo... Bel... Beg... Serbia last May, sir?" - even though I'd already told him that I'd checked my online banking the previous weekend and everything was fine. Then it occurred to him to ask "did you pay £1,372 to Generic Company Name two days ago, sir?" What, you mean the day before my card was suspended? Did I try to pay £1,372 to a company I've never heard of, despite knowing that I had a current account balance of less than £500? Why no, sir, I did not. Fucking idiots.

Maybe if I had Fred Goodwin's salary.

Aye, happy birthday fella, and don't be so subtle next time, you know we can't handle it.

Hello Zath.

Well if you will live near Lange Reihe.
