Slave to the Grave

I was just wondering Wastrel, as you've been to one, do they really serve Ferrero Rochers at Embassies? Sadly no, the only chocolate I encountered was an after dinner Bendicks chocolate mint. Damn, another illusion shattered.

I quite like the complete lack of responsibility myself. Members and guests have the opportunity throughout the year to put forward their suggestions. If you make a good case, it'll end up on the list. Anyway, isn't this all intended as a bit of light relief from the daily grind, not a raison d'etre? Having said all this, there are some members and moderators, I would love to meet, just out of curiosity you understand.

Bien sur, c'est toujours les plus cons qui se prennent pas pour de la petite merde.

I take exception to that statement, there are lasses on this forum too. No he has not. Stumbling around like a Vicar's son who has found daddy's sherry supply, perhaps. It is sad when people die, particularly when they have not fulfilled their potential, but this is not a wish list. This is true for the majority of us, but only if you apply some commercial judgement, which you of course, would never do. Oh, and I think you have used the word 'leg', when you meant 'bell' . I am sure these publications are no more commercial than the 'Pete Doherty bandwagon'. This is like the 'Emperor's New Clothes', forget for a moment his 'image', unless he does die soon his place in popular culture will be somewhere between Bros and Chas 'n' Dave and just as forgetable.

Oh dear! Edward Scissorhands.

London and East Anglia. Now living in South West France.

Hello Amanda. I was wondering if your opinion of Mr. Doherty has changed since we last heard from you? Will he last the course? If you want to sit around all day, looking busy and playing on the computer may I suggest you become a 'consultant', or do as I have and start a business of your own, perhaps as a 'consultant'. To do this may I suggest you first see a 'consultant'.

In fact, a couple of days ago, many members of this Forum were posters on the Royal Forums.

Ah, yes. The good old days.

Sorry to interrupt but, 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich', is a fine book I have read several times and would recommend to anyone who likes cold, depressing books. 'The First Circle' however.......

Many Happy returns.

As does this member.. What exactly is going on there?

Due to the vast amount of moderating that seems to take place on TRF, I don't think the 'Supermoderators' are going to have a lot of time for visiting this forum.

I would like it to be Gen. Pinochet, him being my DDP joker and all. Also a thoroughly nasty individual.

Either that or the MJ fanclub forum - of which I am proud to be the newest member.

The posts of Eleanor Aquitaine still remain, but the Wordsworth quote has gone (the Robespierre avatar still remains). These Royalists are such peasants.

Anyone would think you had recently been to France talking like that.

No, no, no, no, no. What about food and drink? You are all being so anglo-saxon.

Rumbled!! I can honestly say, from my posts I don't know why, it may have been the Robespierre avatar I suppose and the Wordsworth quote!! Tant pis.

Irritating clocks I suppose. But on the plus side, chocolates and mountains.

When you look at what they did to black South Africans. That was a precognitive pre-emptive strike against the Boers. So, what you're saying here Tempus is that German concentration camps were bad, but British concentration camps were good? I don't think the Brits systematically gassed millions of people. The Boers mostly died from disease. Oh, well that's Ok then. You both have valid points, but I don’t think it is fair to criticize England or France over what happened many years ago. If you look back into the history of any country, you are sure to find examples of gross human rights atrocities. Exactly FF. That's what I was trying to say.

Ah, yes the South of France, home of Petains Vichy collaborators. The place where the French actively helped to deport their Jews to concentration camps. No thanks, I'll stick with blighty. You're absolutely right Tempus, what the Vichy Collaborators did was indefensible, but my comparison is of France and Britain in 2005. Whilst on the subject, any discussion of concentration camps should begin with the British in South Africa. When you look at what they did to black South Africans.

I think we should get a few posts under our collective belts before we do anything to blow our cover. This must be the best 'thing to do whilst waiting for death' yet. Thanks Windsor, I always knew you'd come good.
