Gibberings CCXII -- It's all about the length of the pocket clip .....

All is well in the shadie house my friend. Quiet in here tonight though, as per usual these days but hey ho.

Gotta busy arsed day tomorrow that I'm not looking forward to. Was a tired cranky ass today so, knowing my sleeping patterns tomorrow will be much the same. Deep breaths and trying not to speak to people.

And warm isn't ?
Flygaric - Didn't the Vikings used to pass it through reindeer first and then the peasants congregated outside the hall to catch the drops from the Warriors?

Warm is far, far more palatable than cold... well, "less unpalatable" would probably be nearer the mark.

I've heard reindeer>warrior>plebs but mostly shaman>everyone else - not sure how much historical validity there is in either but the latter seems to be what is still practiced today. Former sounds to me a little too much like Christian exaggerations/distortions/propaganda/making-shit-up.

Neil Woods did a Vice interview a couple years ago too.

Shame more popo don't speak up about it.

It really is a shame they don't because if they laid of the hypocrisy a bit I'm pretty sure it would be a big boost towards helping to shift public opinion away from prohibition in more timely fashion. Of all people who have a stake in the matter it's surely the police who Mr & Mrs Public-Opinion (yes, yes they do have a double-barrelled surname - surprised me too tbh) are most likely to believe.

I posted a linky to a follow-up Vice article to the one you linkied above in the LEAP UK thread t'other day.
 
Ah my bad- haven't had the chance to go through all the threads since I got back today.

Mostly been pre-occupied tending to my sore & sandy cushion induced wounds :(

I suppose the bigger problem than the police who can for the most part (I mean, the ones who don't completely delude themselves to get through the day) - see that what they're doing has no real impact on the 'war on drugs' - are the politicians who know full well it doesn't work but are too cowardly to have a strong stance in medicalising the issue for fear of being seen as weak and potentially losing their votes / tough stance that have no bearing on their actual beliefs on the issue.

Despite the fact that once they leave the system a lot of them tend to state publicly that they believe it has failed completely and full legalisation is the way forward (see Mo Mowlam, Jimmy Carter etc). There's only so long they can bury their heads in the sand.

It's completely ridiculous that it is still being treated as a moral & criminal issue, when all empirical evidence that has proven that any steps you take to take away the trade from the black market and regulate it has resulted in gains all around.

But as always, someone has to break out the 'I've got kids and I can't and support regulation / decriminalisation / legalisation because I don't want them to grow up thinking that it's ok to take drugs' - except for alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc etc.

It's hard to stay sane when you're surrounded by failing policies and rhetoric that is based on hysteria and misinformation.

Recently read David Nutt's book on drugs, and started reading Carl Hart's book of his life story. both great reads. Seems the only way forward is to keep proving the established concensus on drugs and addiction being a moral weakness comprised of degenerate lost causes, is a totally false accusation based on lies and propaganda / agendas that predate a lot of our lives but have become so embedded in the status quo that people don't even bother to try and think rationally about it.

“The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.”

FUCK IT.

I also get irritated by groups such as the 'psychedelic society' in the UK - who seem to have shifted from trying to influence legislation to providing people with getaway holidays abroad where they feed them psychedelics for extortionate amounts of money to fund their organisation - rather than really try and get involved politically.

It's ridiculous that we're surrounded by countries that have at least relaxed cannabis laws - to no detriment whatsoever to their culture and society - however the puritanical undertones of this establishment refuse to acknowledge it whatsoever. Whether it's because they're influenced and funded by tobacco and alcohol lobbyist to such an extreme degree, or because they're repressed christians (See theresa may, vicar's daughter) - they really do believe their bullshit - and have never even considered reading about the historical context of prohibition, which by the way, has never worked.

Even countries with the death penalty still have demand. It's never going away.

I propose a revolution. If anyone is up for somehow dosing politicians with psychedelic drugs or assassinating whoever is in charge of the AMCD. You know where to find me.


N:B: the views expressed in this post are purely for entertainment purposes. I have no intention of committing any of the above. Unless someone knows how and is willing to take the blame.
 
Perhaps you suffer from ADD? May I prescribe some amphetamine to focus your attention on the matter at hand.

I assure you it's all primo quality ranting, no gibberish whatsoever :|

however - i've just taken some valium and about to smoke a joint - so I may change my mind and agree with you in about 10mins.

That's like putting a freshly laundered cloud duvet upon your cloud bed. Can we make duvet fortresses outta this shit because I'm all in for that!
 
Sure can - though I'm sure to pass out in it pretty soon as I've been up since 5am...and i'm about to smoke some more :D

Good luck with the busy day tomorrow, the amount of times I'd have to go sit in a toilet cubicle being completely overwhelmed at an old job - doing breathing exercises far more than I care to remember...(not a euphemism for wanking). But that happened too.

In retrospect, not the greatest place to have done it. But everybody does.

I once masturbated in my office, for a gal a danger wank at work felt pretty exciting =D ....bit of a bucket list thang tbh.
One does what one needs to get through the working day...now I'm working in open plan that kind of funny business wouldn't go down well lol!

Thinking of you Sadie <3

I've donated and shared around my arty pals on FB. Really talented guy, sad story :(
 
I posted this elsewhere, but it's more of a gibbeting rant,,,#

"Is this why we never see you Julie? Maybe it would be worth letting more of eadd know in more threads that you are actually live kicking and playing around with your stuff. Not that IU think you're playing around is anything to aspire to - it sounds like shite. I for one don't buy your tranny story...faker. Fake, faker...

So what about Sprout?

Has he just decided to disappear on eadd and hold onto the mod title knowing he's offering nothing to back it up? I like sprout, we all do but a long term absence is no good, nor is a completely noncommunicable script about drugs, that mean nothing to none.

Sorry sprout but there a lot of us who've been to uni, it ain't anything new. Get over yourself and do the job you signed up for in eaad...or resign.

step down.

I for one am fed up with eadd ego mods. You're all about show guys, but have nothing to eh show... eh you're boring n' boring.

Any of you post, and if you do the content of it is shite. Julie what do you add? Sprout you are nil and void at the moment, anything to bring to that?, Sadie and Shambles if you weren't a couple how boring would you be seperatly? Hay, I'm just saying, I like squirrels and have had a good shagging today... no offence.

Try more modern mods. Otherwise stop sucking up to your fake badge, of honour give it up and allow some other livelier folks to mod.



Shake up the system and make some thing new..


Sorry Shammy, you of all people should cut it. I modded twice and you were supposed to be there, you never were. Dave and Whore done the dirty on your behalf. It took their on toll on them...

You let that happen lazy boy, whatever your excuse. And still you're here, can do what you like eh.. Forget those poor sods who worked hard and died eh. Modding eadd is fake, brainless (ok sadie that might be just you..come on love be aware of your assets.) and lounge spunk...
 
I'm sorry K as I probably represent the worst of what has happened to this board, a boring non interactive mod with an opiate addiction, something that wasn't really a large feature of this forum before the drought threads started in late 2010 - of course, despite lurking on here for years it was the drought that finally made me bite the bullet and start to actively post, as I knew that this was the one place where I would be able to get answers as to what was gong on.

Did this ruin the forum? Maybe - I cannot be objective about this as I was only a observer before 2010 - I'm sure that you had members that had long standing opiate addictions already and that it was an occasional point of discussion but it was the drought that brought the like of me and 'my kind' (active heroin users) out of the woodwork on mass and into the regular mainstream of EADD. It naturally bought a plethora of real scumbags to the board along with the glut of gearless users joining, most of who disappeared as quickly as they had arrived but out of it EADD gained a few really good members, and a few tits in it for the long term as well.

By then and since then I have and had recovered and relapsed and amnow twiddling my fingers while on the waiting list to rejoin life (the NHS and DWP do not think I am fit to work at the moment or due to my methadone script, drive a car, as I had to surrender my license on starting MMT).

I was really interesting for a time there K, the life and soul of the the party to the extent that they all left before I did, leaving me with nothing but my fired head space and a heroin habit to look forward to and ruin everything. Ironically, when I was practising the sort of behaviours that Bluelight celebrates and discusses I was just getting on with it and whenever I was twisted (which was most of the time I wasn't at work) I would be either socialising or lost in my record collection- not posting live reports of how mashed I was on here - even the boy toy behaviour that I still persist with (my obsession with film and things like the playstation) was no different then apart from the fact that there would be a group of us watching a flick / playing PGA Golf, not a downer soaked middle age sad act who's idea of a fantastic Saturday is to lie alone listening to my pathetic music with a couple of penny acids inside me pretending I still actually am a raver but with a gram of gear waiting for me on touchdown so I can quickly get zone-spazzed before my brain switches back to normal I'm once again faced with the reality of myself and my life without the objective protection that the acid headstate provides when one is concerned with matters relating to ones ego and social self.

It;s probably more of a sign of the times that anything else, but I'm still a symptom of that change and while I can apologise for who I am and what I have done I I cannot change it now. As I don't even do any drugs outside of my normal pharmacopoeia very often I often have little to contribute towards any of these threads anymore. In fact, the only possibly useful thing i am capable of at the moment is to help moderate this board, something that I may do quite poorly but which in my own defence is something I have still only been at for 3 months.

When EADD has to scrape the bottom of the barrel so hard that I'm the best they can come up with as a 'new moderator', that is down to to a beggars cannot be choosers situation, if the current team have only boring choices to make with regards to new help, then they cannot be held accountable as they can only work with what they have. Unfortunately, until someone actually worth it comes along and applies you will be stuck with the like of me. Like anything in life, things are never as good as they used to be and I guess that probably includes EADD as well.

But until the forum either folds or starts to attract young exciting people who can bring about change I'll have to placehold, even if my 'hr' advice is cinfined to cautionary tales about hospitalisations from club drug piggery or the subsequent yawn - a - thons about my own boring dependency issues and my resultant non existing life.

If the team have not been able to pick a good mod this time ariund it is because there wasn't any (not speaking for Don of course who, modship aside, was already a longtime quality contributor), and for my part, despite what little I may bring, it's still nice knowing that when I was stuck regrading my own drug issues there was a resource I could count on for answers, and if my presence can keep that option open for people for a little longer, even without any hope of restoration to any 'former glories', then that's about as good as I can and would want to give.

I hope that everyone is well and making the most of the weekend. What a vacation we have had <3.

Safe
Bear
 
Hey, k, I'm quite happy you have had a shag. Well done. I think that's all I'm willing to delve into atm. You had a better day than me yesterday from the looks of it.


Stee, you're a wonderful guy.. Please see the lovely things others see in you. You absolutely blossom. It's a wonderful thing to see.

Bear, whaddup? I feel like I've not seen you in yonks. How's life and of course, the weather? It'd be nice to see your dimples more often but then, I'm sure we all have things that need doing.

Been a long day and seeing as this is gibberings, I can honestly say the past few days have been a cunt. Can't wait for my days off.

How's everyone doing. hope you all are having a more exciting evening than I. Stay classy bitches xx.

Hysteria about drugs and harm minimisation. It's always the same old story


No matter how impressive the evidence of benefits, or how weak the evidence of serious side effects or how badly a strategy is needed, new harm reduction strategies are always greeted the same way: with relentless hostility.

Debates about harm reduction always follow the same pattern. Hysterical fears are confidently asserted as if proven beyond doubt while potential benefits, often based on considerable research and experience, are dismissed or ignored.

Many harm reduction interventions are eventually approved, usually too little and too late, and then turn out to be far more successful than had been hoped. Fierce opposition to the intervention usually continues long after evaluation has shown it to have great benefits and insignificant negatives. Then the opposition takes many years to slowly die away.

Harm reduction is usually associated with illicit drugs. But long before there was harm reduction for illicit drugs, there was already harm reduction for alcohol. Alcohol policy wonks in the 1970s used to speak of “making the world safe for drunks”. They knew that, like the poor, some hopelessly intoxicated people in public places would always be with us. The idea behind this slogan was, for example, separating drunken pedestrians from speeding traffic. Of course energetic efforts to reduce the frequency and severity of public drunkenness still continued.

Nice opinion piece in the Grauniad by an Australian doctor and HR pioneer (instigator of needle exchange programmes as well as Australia's only "shooting gallery"). A man who puts his principles into practice - even when the law says he can't - who speaks much common sense when it comes to commonsense HR... or at least what should be :\

Seems to be a helluva lot of pro-legalisation stuff in the Guardian of late. Always good to see any media attention but such an apparently concerted effort really is a big step forward in getting the issue lodged in the public consciousness. I know I keep saying it but I really do see hope for significant change in drug policy in the foreseeable future.

I gotta say I really don't know what you're getting at here, K. I can certainly be lazy - who can't? - but what you say just doesn't make any sense - are you really suggesting that Dave died because I broke my computer? Cos, as I'm sure you would remember, that's what caused me to disappear from my smod position without warning - that and the polydrug addictions and severe mental health issues. Prior to that I was mostly insanely busy - you don't rack up 50k posts by not posting, let alone all the staff ones which don't add to the post count.

Aside from modding EADD I was also smodding OD & BDD plus modding PD - the latter at one stage singlehandedly for the best part of a year. That would coincide with the other "slack" period you mention, incidentally, and I offered to step down from EADD as it was clear I was greatly overstretched. But as nobody was in agreement I stayed on as, again, I'm sure you would recall.

In all honesty, I don't really get any of what you said. You seem to be suggesting that people log on, check who's modding, then decide whether or not to post based on that. I've never heard of anybody doing that - it would frankly be bizarre - but maybe they do? Either way, it's well-known that EADD staff positions are the most notoriously poisoned chalice in all of BL. Nobody does it for an ego massage I can assure you. Feed their inner masochist is probably nearer the mark :D
 
Hey everyone, what's cracking :)? Good to see there is still some drama going on. I know it gets a bad rep, but it's always nice to have a decent vent everyone once in a while (although perhaps a bit less on the harsh side haha).

At my last job as a chef, there was this little lady Ga-Ga loving sour-pus that confided in me about a story of him intentionally covering his fingers in monster munch crumbs, to try and act as a deterrent for his girlfriend whenever she wanted a bit of finger action. I doffed my cap at him and offered the best response I could think of at the time, whilst trying to ignore the defening sounds of Lady Ga-Ga blearing out over the soundsystem; "I'm sorry that I can't relate to your particualr prediciment, but if you want to buy any medium-quality grouting, then Im also the wrong person to ask".
 
You hear some seriously wild shit when you're in a restaurant kitchen. It's like the confession / bragging booth for the demented and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's pretty much the last place on earth that doesn't give a fuck about political correctness. You talk shit and get on with shit. The best conversations I've ever had have been working in the kitchen. And these are sober conversations..... For some of us....
 
Aye, the profession does indeed seem to attract a certain type, Either drug addicts, alcoholic, chronic smoker or just a plain cunts. The one guy who i was working with was doing coke every morning, accused me of genuiney reading his mind. I "tsssks" and let out a explosive "poppycock!". But yeah seriously, there are a fuck load of nutters in that proffesion. I just to try and blend in by letting out the odd racist slur and having over 2 hours conversations about the "Die Hard" series. If all else fails, I just excplam that according the papers, experts say the immigrants are bad. This usually ends with a grumble of approvement from everyone in the kitchen.

In all honestly those - and I've only worked in 1 bar - everyone there seem to be very friendly (bar 1 or 2). It's just when you're cramping up in a kitched and there's just one over-angry dildo in there, it can bring the whole mood down (and not in a Stevie Wonder way).
 
My friend, there is always, ALWAYS one over angry dildo. They prefer to be called by their job title. Head chef.

Well, the "head" part is close enough. Knob head. I had a head chef bar me from lunch during shift because I told him he was an idiot when he said mothers don't deserve to have mothers day. He was a total cock munch. I managed to last the longest at not pissing him off. Cunt. He never spoke to me again. Crabbit auld bastard. It was hilarious :D

And yeah sp, most people in the customer service industry have major vices. It's how people cope with cunts. It's amazing how disgusting a persons personality becomes when they speak to wait staff, chefs, cashiers, sales assistants etc. People are fucking ass hats, end of.
