Monoclinic

I cannot believe that Joey Ramone, from that most New York of bands, The Ramones, is buried in Hollywood...What a sell-out! I can't believe Mozza wants to be surrounded by people in death. He is not exactly renowned for his sociable attributes.

Barring the fact that the d at the end looks like two letters overlapped what would it have read before? The Wrath of Bod? The Wrath of Cod? You get the idea...

I know a Slovakian living in Belgium who recently went on a conference in Singapore. Now that's just one degree of separation, assuming of course he bought thousands of copies of her single on his travels.

Broccoli stops cancer cold, Maggie. You should think twice about not eating your vegetables. Or should I call you Mark? Sorry, I thought by using the word gunk it would be obvious that I was implying the processed cheese in a jar with a picture of a floret of broccoli on the label. Apparently that was too big an assumption to make. My main concern had been hitting the the wrong reply to button, maybe I should have been more worried about making my opinion understood. Hence I will clarify my position for you Barbara and anyone else who did not understand my post. I was assuming that most people with an ounce (that's 28.35 grammes for our metric friends) of knowledge, like yourself Barbara, on the anti-cancer properties of the active compounds could well fear that dipping a nice crunchy green bit of broccoli, brimming with manganese, tryptophan and vitimins C & K, into a jar of 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl sulfide gunkate might negate its aforementioned properties. Last time I looked cheese whiz was listed as neither one of the major food groups nor an essential micronutrient. I could be wrong. if so I will stand corrected. Do you now understand me Barbara?

Thank-you, I shall add it to my list of things not to try! Like it is ever going to be used as a dip for broccoli. Anyone knowing what broccoli is would not think twice about putting that gunk in their gob.

As has already been reported here. As for the subsequent two posts, does anyone recognise a familiar, yet sinister, Wikipedia-related trend? I am deeply disturbed by the notion of cheese whiz and what it might be. Damn it wrong post to reply to, not sure how I change post numbers, if I can

A good old Aussie approach? Direct and to the point, I do like it but as a pommie I don't have the guts to set the cards on the table with the order.

Is it like Geuze? In its natural form Geuze is indeed I definitely agree with the acetic acid taste. Having been to the traditional geuze brewery in Brussels I'd go further and say it induces the gagging reflex whilst your tongue curls up in sheer disgust that this could ever be discerned as an enjoyable taste. I think this is the reason why fruit beers were invented, to disguise a bad brew!

My favourite Belgian beer has got to be Kreik. Cherry flavoured beer. It is popular amongst the men as well as the ladies and it is rather refreshing on a hot day. My cider replacement! Framboise comes in a close second. However all the other fruit beers are revolting and taste very artificial. I've given some a go but I think my sink has tasted more of them than me!

I have tipping issues too Godot. Firstly I and my friends will only leave tips if we think it is justly deserved. If the food or service was lousy then on principle nothing is left. My major issue is with this 10% rule. Why! Whether you are in a cheap cafe or a more expensive restaurant it is likely that behind the scenes the same amount of effort has gone into serving you. Why then should someone who is likely to be better paid than in the cafe receive more just because you had to pay more for your seared tuna with herbed crushed potatoes and minted petit pois as opposed to cod, chips and mushy peas! I'll clarify the restaurant part, before anyone says but what about... I'm not talking of silver service, michelin starred excellence, granted there is more work behind the scenes here. I just want to compare establishments that you are likely to frequent on a more regular basis.

Speaking of dinner ladies, Monoclinic do you have a husband? Some people can't figure out your gender but I think your a guy. I can't see how it really matters either way if we know who is what. With t'internet being this completely anonymous domain 67% * of the people are probably not who they make out to be but I am afraid you are yet again wrong, I am female. * According to the 78% of all statistics are calculated on the spot principle.

Or perhaps Greek?

Or even dinnertime served up by the dinner ladies. Though I would hate to cause anymore confusion. Francophones have the same problem. In France it is usually called déjeuner for lunch and dîner for tea but in Belgium it is dîner then souper.

I bet Mart Poom was A Man On The Edge. I've heard that that part of a man's anatomy is highly sensitive, did he get the wet sponge treatment?

I'd put those who cheat at sports with performance-enhancing drugs into Room 101. I know what the onion is now, I can't fall for the same joke twice...can I?

Here here! In fact I've had a running dispute with those in charge of ebay (feedback department). They are about as necessary as a heatwave in the sahara. Their responses made for entertaining reading. You could tell they were reading from the sheet. Not the sharpest tools and all that.

How annoying is that? Makes it sound like it should be a challenge for the average ebay user. I think it's an insult to the masses of ebay users. Bastards. On the subject of ebay - people giving negative feedback in response to the negative feedback you gave them, then using bullyboy tactics to mutually withdraw as one negative to you makes a large impression compared a few blips on a power sellers record. (Assuming they fully deserved the negative response you gave them that is!)

Even though "The Pope Wears Prada"?

I've not heard that euphamism before! I think he needs to devise a how to survive the mental asylum guide for when he imminently gets sectioned. Or alternatively try living a little instead of fantasizing about being marooned in the mountains with some South American war lord eying up his creamy gringo ass. Can there still be people out there who don't know what the Onion is? Obviously me! I didn't even look at the address, even if I had done I have never heard of the onion. Is it some kind of Private Eye vs National Enquirer then? Should I be looking up the word gullible to see if it has been taken out of the dictionary? Sorry. Though I shall file the quote about churning creamy asses for future reference.

Who or what came first Pinocchio or the slang Finnocchio? My sincere apologies - the word 'finocchio' (as in fennel, whereas 'pinocchio' is a pine nut) is actually a pejorative slang term for a homosexual man. According to Wikipedia (okay) the original 'Pinocchio' story appeared in 1881, whereas this online resource suggests that the offensive use of 'finocchio' was recognised as early as 1863. Maybe the tale is really one of an old man's yearning for Greek love? If anyone has a spare life, there may well be something in a PhD thesis in Homosexual Subtexts in Disney Animation. As in "Friends of Dorothy"? Anyone wishing to carry out Twelvetrees suggestion could find the following sites useful for a springboard into the World that is Disney. Gender through Disney's eyes I am hoping that this entire site is a misguided joke with links such as Who would Jesus bomb? and adverts for a What would Jesus do? thong. The article however, proclaims that Toy Story 2 is the work of Lucifer. In fact there is far too much coming up from Baptist groups and other traditional family values orientated groups that a simple google search is not striking up specific characters though there were these references listed on a Berkeley site: Before I lose my sanity and embark upon further research I shall leave it up to someone else to strike gold! One thing we know, they are not adversed to partner swapping what with King Louie being the King of the Swingers and all....

Es macht mir Sebastian Coe in seinem Augenhöhle ficken willen. Translate, anyone? Here's what my pocket translator came up with: "It makes Sebastian Coe in its Augenh?hle for me ficken sake" Another online translator came up with a more vulgar version: "F**k it makes Sebastian Coe in it it Augenh? hle for me sake" If anyone knows what an Augenhohle is, maybe we could make some progress. From google I came up with eye socket. Maybe he is working on the any hole's a goal principle. It makes me Sebastian Coe in his eyesocket for f**ks Sake. Ficken is some conjugation of f**k as I am sure in the only learn the swear words knowledge of German someone taught me that Fick dich was f**k you? However arschloch is my favourite German swear word, I am sure I learnt this word through DL. NAP is from Germany - maybe he could reveal all. So to speak.
