Cheerio for now Pagey best of luck with things .


I say enjoy it for what it is. I'm a working class kinda guy, but I do enjoy my occasional visits to art galleries, upmarket restaurants and posh hotels.
Variety is the spice of life and all that. Other non-work days I'm content to sit in my pants until teatime.
Edit - that's one seriously upmarket hotel Bodda!
Just wanted to mention I'm going to be taking a bit of an extended break from BL and might not be posting at all for a while, just so that no one gets worried or anything. I've decided to try and lay off drugs entirely for a few months and unfortunately BL doesn't help much for that...I also need to sort out a lot of things in my life that have gotten out of hand, get a grip on my heroin problem (again), and just sort shit out in general. Hopefully in a few weeks/months I can come on here again.
So yeah, no need to worry or anything. Hope everyone is doing okay, see you soon![]()
It may seem ridiculous but i was listening to Winston Churchill's Never Surrender speach last night, about "no task is too much for us to endure.....we will never give in, never surrender" etc. Fuckin inspiring stuff. I guess helping peoiple get off drugs was the very last thing he had in mind, but the message is the same.
Why cant we have public speakers like that any more.The last of the older generation of great public speakers like Heseltine and Tony Benn are taking it easy these days.
"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected."
Same guy![]()
i totally agree with using guns and bombs in the right circumstacesHe did have a point. Not that I agree with using gas as a weapon. I don't agree with using guns or bombs as weapons either.

The idea that churchill inspired people during the war is rose tinted nostalgia. Recent research has proved that people were as wary of him as we are of our current 'leaders'
Apparently people who heard him on the radio often wondered if he was pissed.
There are many different ways to interpret history.
No doubt what you said is true of some people and their views. One particular piece of research does not really proove anything though, there could have been a sample bias.
