    is there anybody else out there NOT on drugs? After reading this through to end I still don't know what this thread is going on about?

    Like the Verve once said "The Drugs Don't work"

    The poor wee lambs on here seem to be awfully upset and not a wee bit afraid wot with them being such a bunch of victims.

    Something should be done about it anyways - it all sounds terribly upsetting.

    Victim?

    Being a victim means buying into this daft PC rubbish - life is hard, get over it!

    That's easy enough for you to say - you've got loads.

    Strangely, having a life might be my problem as I have deffo not been paying enough attention by the look of things.

    Back to cheap-flight hunting for me now....

    On a vaguely similar vein I've finally convinced some dutch speaking colleagues that the correct phrase in english for a weekend break is "Cottaging" - Not Big, Not Clever but I had a good chortle anyway

    How about, instead of a fag break, they go outside for a "felch".

    Nowt as far as I know but they seem to be causing a load of guys on here no end of grief.

    Maybe I'm in denial and need to recognise my own victimhood. Is it too late to sign up for the nonce-maimers or whatever we got up to this week?
