Current Music: Half Man Half Biscuit - Dickie Davies eyes
One day, when i'm a big boy, I might have the courage to merge my journals. However that day isn't here yet, maybe I should just use this journal for communities. Anyway.

For some reason I keep thinking about the legendary sports presenter Dickie Davies and his classic gaffe. There I was as a teenager watching world of sport with my Dad, when our Dickie comes out with:

"Now let's have a look at the cock sucker, er, cup soccer, on ITV next week."

Live television, you can't beat it, my Dad couldn't stop laughing!

Apr. 10th, 2006 @ 09:14 pm Quite a kerfuffle
Current Mood: confused
Current Music: Korn - Freak on a leash
There seems to have been quite a kerfuffle over the last couple of days regarding minors having access to communities that sometimes publish adult content. Now the questions are how do you stop this? There's no way of knowing whether someone is really the age they put in their date info. Therefore where does the onus lie?

If you admit that you don't know if someone is really whom they claim to be, or is off that age, then are you admitting that minors could have access to such material? Without having a real identity check I don't see how you can prove this, and yet a real identity check would stifle discussion in such a manner that these communities would become irrelevant, because if there's one thing people are protective of it's their identity and people wouldn't be so open in discussion if they thought that anyone could find out their darkest fantasies. That's not what journals are about.

However going further, if communities are having a hard time with this then surely individual blogs are more of an issue to us all. Where do we draw the line? What can we say? Are we going to be in trouble for talking of drug abuse? Alcohol abuse? Self harm? Depression? Homosexuality? Will these fall prey to a puritanical campaign to stifle debate and make us all guilty, when all we are doing is engaging in discussion in a forum we feel free to talk in?

Current Music: Beck - Devil's Haircut
According to the tabloid press swinging is a fast growing practice. I wonder if there are more swingers or more people admitting to it. Of course with the interweb it's easier to contact people and advertise parties etc. but surely the instinct was always there amongst a lot of these people.

Of course the practice will always generate sniggers and frowns from people, although you often find that some of the most vociferous critics have something to hide.

Current Music: Siouxsie & The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden
We have a gay girl at work, it's not an issue for me, there have always been gay folks where I work and we're not in the 1970's anymore. So conversations are very normal except for one or two people who can't help sniggering and talking behind people's backs. You know the sort of thing, another girl in our department should be careful. I'm never quite sure how people's thought process gets to such a silly stage. I mean, the guy saying this seems to think it's fine that a girl in our department works with hetorsexual males and yet thinks that a gay girl might try it on with her.

Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent. H is in a band and we all decided we need to go on a work night out. Someone suggested a gig and then we found out (via various means of torture) that H's band are playing soon, so we told her we'd come along. H said that her band were rubbish, that they hadn't been together long enough, that we wouldn't want to see them and then when all that failed she blurted out:

"It's at a gay bar, in gay pride week, you won't like it."

Charming! I'd feel discriminated against if one of the guys hadn't blurted out "Thank God you told us."

I don't know which of them is more insulting!

Current Mood: annoyed
Current Music: Helen Love - Does your heart go boom
You know there's a whole lot of irony in this post. I find people who leave a comment of "use an lj cut" more annoying than people who don't use an lj cut. I mean if they make a comment about the post and make a comment about an lj cut then that's fair enough, but when they've obviously gone straight to post comment, not read the post and then left a "use an lj cut" comment then it annoys me. Which in turn makes me the same as they are.

The only real time I get annoyed by a lack of an lj cut is when it involves pictures, as they can take a long time to load. When it's just text, I'll scroll past it if I don't fancy reading it. I normally have to go back a few pages to read entries anyway.

I'm now whingeing for no particular reason!

Right it's poll time! Hold on this isn't a paid account, right we'll improvise.

Friday night debauchery:

1. Go to the local and get drunk and talk about girls.

2. Think of your liver.

3. Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the rope.

4. Dude there's some serious porn on LJ at the weekends.

5. City of Heroes.

6. World of Warcraft.

7. Cold shower!

It's make your mind up time folks. The person with the correct answer wins a cookie, which I'll eat for you as you're all miles away, but it's the thought that counts hey?

I awoke this morning to a feeling my head was ten times bigger than it should be and a nose so blocked I could hardly breathe. There's a flu bug doing the rounds here and now it's struck me down. My call for nurses is resumed, that includes [info]wolfpeach if he insists ;)

I've been somewhat confused for sometime as to the popularity of George Bush, but revelations this week have shed some light on the matter. George Bush, his father, The Queen and her husband and some other world leaders in powerful positions, are in fact....

Current Mood: confused
Current Music: The B52's - Rock Lobster
My interests on this journal are scarily shallow, I'm also the member of a shed load of "Show your.." communities, which is ok for something like a couple of weeks and then you get to add people whom you find interesting, read about their lives and adventures and realise that having a hidden journal isn't as productive as it could be.

I generally tell myself that I have no qualms about what people think of me, but having two journals on LJ is obviously proof to the contrary. There all sorts of issues to this, I'd like to have one journal that I could filter, or post from as two names would be ideal, then I could easily decide on my mood what I was in the mood for reading without having to panic that worlds will collide and I'll be outed as some heinous pervert and yet all my beliefs tell me that I have nothing to be ashamed of for wanting to take an interest in adult themes, which was the main reason for this journal in the first place.

However it wasn't my intention to take an interest in the most base carnal lusts, I wanted to read about experiences, different lifestyles and aims. I wanted to open my mind and yet with two journals I don't have the time to manage them both conveniently for it to be fruitful.

When I add to that that I write outside of livejournal on eight blogs I feel I'm spreading myself too thinly, I need to concentrate my resources, I also need to rewrite my interests on here, join more enlightened communities and focus on what this was supposed to be all about.

Jan. 21st, 2006 @ 03:58 pm Animal rights
Current Mood: confused
Current Music: Kaiser Chiefs - Everyday I love you less and less
I'm not very big on animal rights, I'm very naive about leaving matters to nature. However I'm a tad confused about the Whale in the River Thames. Now I know that this is a rare event, and I know that animal rescuers have been helping out and doing a fine job putting it onto a giant raft to take it back to sea.

What I don't get is: "If the vet's opinion is that it's not likely to survive [a rescue attempt] we might have to euthanise the whale - but we don't want to do that."

Why would they do that? Why not leave it to nature to decide whether it survives after helping it back to sea?

Full Story

In other news, when did they introduce the LJ nudge? I'm looking at you [info]serauk!

Well I saw the new year in, in quite possibly the worst bar in the area, however that was the popular spot, I have no idea why. I can't stand the place.

2006 is here already, it's rather alarming, and apparently it's going to be a long cold winter, which should be fun. I'm hoping this year I'll use this journal less for perving and more for reading, which was my original intention anyway.
