Dave to the Grave

I have nothing at all against Yvonne. I think she has the best avatar on this forum, and I enjoy her poems, (up to a point). The mental picture I have of her sitting in the Douglas Bay Yacht Club, sipping a glass of wine whilst composing her next verse, all adds to this site. For me anyway. It just made me chuckle, that it appeared she thought, that C.P. thought, that old people smell of piss.

Why are you lot so charming ?? I've never really thought about it but guesty accepts your compliments on behalf of the DL community. Whilst we are asking such searching questions, tell me, why are you so lame at poetry? I think you are a guest in disguise I think you mean "member" in disguise. When SC berated the "quantity" of posts culture, he was obviously looking towards the quality of posting being far more important. So here you are, since 2004, posted a piffling amount, the ideal candidate for SC and his new Aryan race. Problem is, your posts make Hughie Greens shiteometer go off the scale. This pretty much f'ucks the relevence of quantity posting, in relation to quality posting, firmly up the arse. Well done!! Not wishing to put words in Yvonne's mouth, but perhaps she thought that Canadian Paul actually thinks that old people smell of piss, rather than just mentioning a DDP team name. Whilst often accurate, you could argue that it is not exactly a charming thing to say. I had a boy in my class who smelt of piss, but to say that neglected children smell of piss, isn't particularly charming either.

I had my Fellowship of the Ukranian Cement Kiln Exothermic Reactions Society stripped away from me owing to a slight yet fundamental disagreement with a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Concrete Technology 2001 in Swindon over the fumed silica content in blue circle cement. Would this go against me should I decide to apply? I fear certain building material references within your current signature may hinder any application to become a full member.

Societies that use acronyms that are obviously thought of first and the actual name of the society makes little sense, being seemingly random words that relate to the society. ASH, 'Action on Smoking and Health', being one of the 'better' ones. Also alliteration, particularly in relation to newspaper head-lines. Although I quite like, 'Bad Boy Beckham Beds Big Brother Blonde Beauty Bea'.

Being concerned that this thread may disappear I got a thinking. Would Oscar Niemeyer have achieved DL status if he had worked primarily in brick? I think not. Despite their popularity in Western Europe, we could manage quite well without bricks. The same could not be said of concrete. Whilst this thread should remain as a receptical for all things brick, may I respectfully request that a sub-section exist within this thread for the discussion of other building materials without the fear of being accused of going off topic. To this end I am considering forming Concrete Uses New Technology Society. Probably, going on facebook etc. I will of course have a funky abbreviation that members can call each other by as soon as I can think of one.

One of my favourite buildings the Einstein Tower has been described, by those that care about such things, as a victory of brick over concrete. Unable to construct it in concrete as originally planned it was brick built, then rendered. Despite having worked mainly with brick and stone (before my bikini inspector job), or perhaps because of, I prefer concrete. Anyone who has poured concrete over reinforcement, watching the mesh slowly disappear, or removed shuttering exposing the fresh concrete will know what I mean. Although the main reason I prefer concrete is that the are about it.

She failed a drug test once. When asked to give a urine sample she couldn't get her penis in the test tube.

Does this include eyes still attached? I think if I found one in the road, I'd be a bit upset, but in the socket, usually very beautiful. This reminded me of a friend who really loved eyes. He told a story of a particularly long lashed friend who would flutter them, and literally in the blink of an eye, he was winked off. Apparently, this is the inspiration behind Kajagoogoo's hit. 'Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to hog's eye'.

You reminded me of my dear old uncle who proudly showed us his 'Ten pound Pom' ticket cancelled in the early sixties, traded in for a lifetime's work in quality control at Ford's in Liverpool. Great guy, poor decision. I mean if you're gonna have a sh*te job, at least have a decent climate to compensate. Yes, he should have moved to Dagenham.

Representing what happened to Ukrainians, which was very very different than what happened to Russians. And yes Windsor, she did end up winning, which is quite impressive given that her final competitor was a half-naked belly dancer. Purely by way of comparison, I have spent the last hour or so searching for 'half naked belly dancers' and I assume this is the dancer in question. Very talented. I think despite myself, I prefered the sand animation, although she could have been even more talented had she had done this whilst wearing some burning headgear.

It's a well known fact that famous people smell better than the rest of us. I launched my own perfume in the car the other day. You would not believe the abuse I got.

I hate it when after a night at the ballet, there's always someone who thinks they're the first to have said, 'well, I wouldn't want it behind my ear for a pencil, or up my nose for a wart.'

And here's some more groovy cowboys.

It's no wonder so many die whilst wanking. I read somewhere that despite known dangers, one half of the adult population now wanks above the recommended low-risk levels. This doesn't even touch upon those who are effected by passive wanking.

Well, I've warmed my hands, breathed on my stethoscope, and I think what you have got there is either a STD, a hangover, or a bit of a cold. I hope this helps, but I must stress that I am in no way qualified to have a medical opinion.

Nothing wrong with that, some men like the 'older lady'. Providing the children weren't in of course.

A bit like Monoclinic, we went years with no TV and even longer without UK TV, but the children's education, the call of the BBC, and cheap Sky kits on Ebay changed all this. I took to 'surfing' the channels, and stumbled upon a strange looking chap in a Spurs shirt. This grabbed my attention, because as everyone knows, everyone in England supports either Manchester United or Liverpool. Without knowing it and with no 'hype' to help me along, I was really enjoying a silly show called Gavin and Stacey. Great it's not, but I think it's still very good. If building 'em up to knock 'em down, was an olympic sport the UK would be world beaters. I agree with L.B. about Rik Mayall. As I have mentioned on here before, I am a great admirer of his Bottom. I found it quite hard to get into, but if you haven't tried it give it a go.

Can't place him in Doctor Who either and I'm a fan! Me too. What episodes was he in? Perhaps he drove a dalek.

Doppelganger, how? Any suggestions, bar Latoya?? The Emperor from Star Wars??... nah he died moons ago. Wtf is going on with that nose? Does he honestly feel better now that is holds no flesh?? I blame Charlie. What is worse is that he has never fully been able to alter his eyes which remain Afro. What do you mean alter? He hasn't altered anything. It's a skin-whitening disease, not plastic surgery. He said so to Martin Bashir. So there. As a student of facial hair, I was more concerned with his beard. I was reminded of this. I'd almost forgot about Kathy Burke

I would argue that given the thread title, we are only about 5cm off topic. Which is very close for me.
