Random MSN Gibberings LXXXIX: Off my rocker babbling about nothing

No idea, he was mostly talking about how culture, politics and the media intersect with drug policy.

It was a real tour-de-force. It was so refreshing to see somebody openly state that prohibition is harmful, that it is a business on which law enforcement agencies have become addicted to, that anti-drugs campaigns have been funded by the drinks industry, that the relative harms of all drugs are grossly skewed by a toxic bias and corruption that pervades the establishment, and that despite this utter mess that we have reached... there is a better way.

Most of all, it was refreshing to be in a very large room full of people who were receptive to what he was saying, enthusiastically applauded him and intelligently critiqued his position.

Just made me feel like there is some hope. As small as it may be.
 
awesome man, we need more like him, after this generation passes us lot have a much broader mind on whats what and i think thing 'might' (being the major word) change

Sorry Maxalfie, I've assumed, possibly incorrectly that you are male, the avatar suggests other wise but for some reason that's what I had in my head.

If I'm wrong please don't take offense you can be male female or somewhere in between and I'd have no issue with it.

However if you are male its often more than the glands in your neck that are effected if you get mumps as an adult, if your female or at least don't have the glands in question then you r good to go on that one :D

Hi atm23 yes I am a bloke mate. I should really change my avatar as it has confused a few folk on here.
 
Ahh man, mrs bcf's dad is such a nice guy, he is also my boss.. lol.. but he heard i wasn't feeling well so just dropped me round a bag of grapes,bunch of bananas, a bag of apples, a croissant and a bottle of tropicana

<3
 
What a dude. Did he mind the fact that you were high as a kite at quarter to ten in the morning or is he cool with that?
 
what he doesnt know cant hurt him ;) plus im high at work everyday so i look the same, its teh best method, start off stoned, be stoned everyday =D
 
Oh dear I'm playing far too much of this game at the moment:

I thought it was rubbish the first couple of times but then I realised how the powerups work and got horribly hooked. Once you get up a good speed it becomes hypnotic, reminds me of Sonic in that respect. It's amazing how engrossing it becomes considering how simple the controls are (one button).

Refreshing indeed. A few more voices like that and maybe the chipping at the wall will begin to pay off.
 
Just got quite the dodgy look buying a pack of kingskins with coppers, that was all i was buying too.. i wonder what they must think..lol
 
The weed paranoia is in full flow, I see? ;)

When I was a teenager I had mates who wouldn't buy their Silk Cut (yeah, I know) and their papers at the same shop, for fear of the shopkeeper presumably forgoing the profit from such a purchase, contacting the police and detaining them until their arrival. Even at the age of fourteen I knew this was totally fucking silly.

No wonder it took me a few more years before I'd entertain the prospect of getting stoned more than once in very blue moon - I was frightened I'd up as stupid as them.
 
^ now im not that bad, i was referring more to the point of being unshowered in yesterdays clothes, eyes pinned out to fuck, slurring my words and paying in coppers, a slightly different circumstance :P
 
Hehe I've gone the other way, I used to be fine buying king skins cos I knew I looked like a student stoner and it was expected of me, now I am a lil more grown up I don't like it :D even though I know the worst that will happen is they'll be a little surprised and maybe a tad disapproving (especially the lovely guys in my corner shop, but I'm used to letting them down with my cheap'n'strong cider and Nurishment purchases..)

Paying in coppers is always fun. I opened my penny bottle for the first time in months the other day (cider bottle.. ahh dear) so I'll be doing that soon no doubt.
 
I can see how it's not the best look.

I have to go to different shops depending on my condition - there are some where the staff are friendly enough with me to attempt a chat, and there's no way they're springing that on me when I'm in a state. So I often end up taking silly detours just so my standing with certain off licences isn't affected.

Effie - my ex girlfriend does quite a public, 'pillar of the community' style job and is known to quite a few people in the part of Manchester we both live in. She used to get really uncomfortable about our bleary-eyed trips out to buy Rizla / takeaways / whatever, especially when you'd get young kids running up and hugging her. :D
 
I send my husband out - 9 times out of 10 he comeS back with the wrong skins...bless his non stoner little cotton socks :-I

Haha :D yeah bleary-eyed forays can feel a bit sketch, walking back from after-parties too.. luckily no one in my part Bristol bats an eyelid if you are staggering along clearly still up from the night before at midday on a Sunday..

Kate, what skins do you use?
 
This new advert for Nandos made me laugh my ass off:

Get an email from my mum this morning saying my sister wants to know if I've heard from my dad (my mum and dad are divorced and don't speak). I realise I haven't heard from him in about 3 weeks (unusual but you don't notice when you're travelling). Neither has anyone else heard from him for a while, my sister, gran, aunty, no one. All they know he was due to be off work for 3 weeks. It's not unusual for him to go off the radar and not reply to anyones texts or calls, the amount of times I've even knocked on his door and he's not answered (despite me knowing there's a 90% chance he's in - car there, lights on etc) is pretty high. He does the same to my sister, we rarely find out why. Once I discovered he was in a mood with me over something that didn't even happen.

Anyway I tell my mum I haven't heard from him. She just texts me back an hour ago and says my dads called my sister and he's been in Borneo for almost two weeks. Fucking Borneo! Why he went there without telling anyone is a mystery! Why he can't respond to peoples texts, calls or email to say he's OK is fucking annoying. You end up worrying about where he is and it turns out he's either been sitting in the house ignoring you or in this case he's fucked off to the other side of the world without telling anyone. :X
 
Haha, Spade your dad sounds like some boy. A prick of a dad, but some boy otherwise... much like my own :\


I got to hear the second-hand story of my dad's break-up with his current wife (& mother to two of his kids) the other night. Apparently it involved a lot of crying from her & a lot of laughing from him. My mates call me a heartless bastard and wonder why...
 
Most of the time we get on great, which is a big improvement from 10 years ago when we didn't speak at all. We've been travelling and on holidays together and I go visit him most weekends when I'm at home for a beer and a chat. Why he suddenly stops responding to everyone and not answering his door will forever remain a mystery, the one explanation I did get a few years back about made fuck all sense to anyone I spoke to about it.

Fine if he wants to go to Borneo, why the fuck not. Sounds good to me. Why not just tell someone you're going or respond to their calls and texts so they know you're safe. I don't even care if he tells me he went on a shady trip to Asia but just reply to my email or text so I'm not wondering if you're alive or not. Why he chose Borneo of all places I've yet to find out.
