That's the one, thanks super.

Is lube really a distressing smell?

Had 4 pigeons and 2 Goldfinches on the bird table this weekend.

Vapid on here today

by **seanmichaels** Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:49 pm

Yes, I fear the culture club has reached a low ebb.

Has Rowley been on the boxing boards? I can't read them anymore due to the proliferance of words such as 'kudos' and 'props'.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:54 pm

We are indeed in a lull sean, as for the boxing boards, I tend not to go on them also any more, mainly due to repetition and hyperbole which is rife at the moment despite Chris and Hampo's best efforts...

Though not seen Rowley on there...

Is the baby factory back yet?

it was once
alright
but now it's f*cking sh1te
Round 6... Round 6

I fear Galted is not wrong
Gaps between posts is so long
Round 6... Round 6

watched a quality film last night Galted. Armageddon. Seen it?

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:15 pm

Poetic licence, "are" didn't work as well...

by Rowley Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:19 pm

I am on leave this week so am spending time with TSMR. Also watching game of thrones which I never watched first time round.

by **Galted** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:20 pm

Haven't seen Armageddon, michaels. Given our massively different film tastes I'm sure I'll hate it.

by **superflyweight** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:20 pm

He watches Armageddon
He looks like f*cking Fagen

Really like this Galted:

Are You Drinking?
washed-up, on shore, the old yellow notebook
out again
I write from the bed
as I did last
year.
will see the doctor,
Monday.
"yes, doctor, weak legs, vertigo, head-
aches and my back
hurts."
"are you drinking?" he will ask.
"are you getting your
exercise, your
vitamins?"
I think that I am just ill
with life, the same stale yet
fluctuating
factors.
even at the track
I watch the horses run by
and it seems
meaningless.
I leave early after buying tickets on the
remaining races.
"taking off?" asks the motel
clerk.
"yes, it's boring,"
I tell him.
"If you think it's boring
out there," he tells me, "you oughta be
back here."
so here I am
propped up against my pillows
again
just an old guy
just an old writer
with a yellow
notebook.
something is
walking across the
floor
toward
me.
oh, it's just
my cat
this
time.

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

You should watch Barfly. Mickey Rourke plays a character based on Bukowski, all he does is get p1ssed and get the sh1t kicked out of him, it's one of my favourites.

Sounds like me at Uni.

I'll give it a go. I like Mickey Rourke

by **superflyweight** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:54 pm

Read a few of Bukowski's books. I really like "Ham on Rye". but "Women" was pretty rubbish. Can't remember any strong feelings either way about "Post Office".

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:56 pm

"Post Office" was good after he introduced the automated ticketing system.

by **superflyweight** Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:12 pm

Although it was still rubbish on Thursdays when old people collect their pensions.

He hates "Women"
He likes "Ham on Rye"
It's Superfly, It's Superfly.

I read factotum. Was alright, did not blow me away but did not hate it.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:06 pm

This thread is in serious danger of becoming cultured if we are not careful...

by Rowley Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:09 pm

A discussion that could veer off into a discussion on the works of the 'beat' authors is about as close as we have ever been Rick. Is dangerous new ground.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:13 pm

To quote Aldous Huxley it's a "Brave New World" and an impressive one at that boys, good effort...

Though Shah will be along soon to de-rail the thread I suspect, so we may as well bathe in the culture glow for a while longer!

True, but the "Poke the Roadkill With a Stick" game does not last forever

by **ShahenshahG** Tue Mar 25, 2014 11:47 pm

Aye, plus Seans arse automatically inhales anything vaguely like a winkle. That's why the lot of you are always on here. I just want my stick back, that chicken is getting lonely

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 26, 2014 12:41 am

Afternoon Shah, how is one this afternoon?

by **Galted** Wed Mar 26, 2014 12:51 am

Angry.

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 26, 2014 12:54 am

Standard then...

by **seanmichaels** Wed Mar 26, 2014 12:58 am

Uncouth as usual.

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:09 am

Usual is not that uncouth to be fair sean, if you had said: "Uncouth as F&%"£& usual t1t5!"

I could see your point...

by **ShahenshahG** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:09 am

Spent all night waiting for gypsies and the bastards didnt turn up, stood outside in the cold for 12 and a half hours

by **ShahenshahG** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:12 am

Irritated as hell, back sore and heavy radio unbashed against a skull.

by Rowley Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:13 am

Take it that means our very brief foray into the world of culture is over then?

I may regret this, but why were you waiting for Gypsies Shah?

Afraid so Jeff, the halcion posts of a couple of hours ago are but a fading memory

by **seanmichaels** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:17 am

Why were the gypos expected to turn up? There's an amusing story here I'm sure.

by **seanmichaels** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:17 am

halcyon.

One I dearly hope can be told with at least lip service being paid to the house rules.

by **ShahenshahG** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:23 am

I work security mate - usually where they expect trouble. So Watford wickes head office - which is rather tastefully decorated I might add - gyppos were expected to turn up. Apparently they'd been and gone - then I was sent to the next site where they were expected to move. Apparently they were headed downhill towards us and turned off at the last turn. Couldn't even leave the post as the guy they'd assigned to work with me was like a mini me of Andy Hamilton.

I was expecting a tale of caravans and diamonds, then I realised that it was the plot of a mockney gangster flick...

by **seanmichaels** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:28 am

Are you paid enough to deal with gypsies?

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:31 am

To be fair sean, judging by the recent Tyson Fury Press conference, an overturned table can befuddle and confuse for at least a while...

by **ShahenshahG** Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:44 am

Not really Sean, but its usually easy work. You might get attacked once but as long as you arent intimidated you can add 50+% to your wage for putting up with some childish verbal abuse. Occasionally there's a crazy guy who you flatten with a radio to the skull but otherwise alot of money (relatively) for not much more work.

by **superflyweight** Wed Mar 26, 2014 7:38 pm

Late on here today.

I'm guessing that, like me, the rest of you have been up all night shagging.

Except Shah. He's been up all night waiting to ht gypsies with a handheld radio.
