Thanks for this thread, apart from total entertainment value, if, in future anyone claims that women are more bitchy and pretentious than men I will direct them to this tirade of grouches.

Priceless.

Hasbeen,

That's a classic! So well written too. It is a familiar story I fear, but to anyone in a similar situation.. Grow some balls man!

It is a good illustration of the power women have held over more than a few men's lives, I think anti would call it the 'covert' power of women. I have a mate who calls it the power of the pussy. Caught in the 'Bermuda Triangle' was another phrase that comes to mind. But I'd like to hear Fractelle or SJF retort with a corresponding female sob story to compete with that.

rstuart,

Did you make that joke up yourself?

Horus,

A more contemporary version...

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a farcking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of farcking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing farcking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, farcked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin

Col,

I'm still laughing at 'some of us use superficiality as a shield to protect the delicate sincerity we really feel inside'. That's funny on so many levels. Is it autobiographical?

Houllie

Your little rant just reminded me, you do not qualify as a psychopath.

:(

You have a sense of humour.

The title of OLO's Psychopath was long ago bestowed upon Col Rouge who lacks the warm blood required for mirth.

As for my theory on suits:

Depends on the man:

Middle aged men like George Clooney or Daniel Craig look hot in a suit (or out of one for that matter).

Whereas no amount of Armani can save the likes of George W and John Howard who both look like S.O.M.M.'s (sad old middle-aged men). Or any male newsreaders or even male porn stars.

There, Houllie, I have succumbed to the charm of your thread and added my own little tirade.

Houellebecq “Haha. I used sic.”

At least, unlike in the first post on this thread, you did not ‘sic’ up all over me and laugh :-)

“Oh Col, come on. The reflected glory of a having a floozy? I thought you had more depth! Do you drive an MG with a Burberry hat?”

That “floosy” is my future wife.. (if you ask her she will simply tell you she is vain) and we don’t wear hats.. no MGs either but she does drive a Mercedes SLK235 roadster.

Re 'some of us use superficiality as a shield to protect the delicate sincerity we really feel inside'.“

Re “You're in form today! I nearly wet myself now.”

I thought you might like that line LOL :- ))

Re “That's funny on so many levels. Is it autobiographical?”

Possibly for my feminine side… to the more dominant rest of me, no just consider it as me venting my well honed sense of irony.

Fractelle “The title of OLO's Psychopath was long ago bestowed upon Col Rouge who lacks the warm blood required for mirth.”

Houellebecq, obviously your source of mirth is completely misplaced...

if comrade fractelle speaks, it must be a plot, designed to ensnare the workers of the world into a web of uncontrollable laughter....


A Marxist curse upon those wicked humourists of the Right!

That’s the problem with all the dull and boring lefties, who buy badly made suits,

they are so used to wearing uniform drab and living a dull and pointless existence, that the lighter side of life, the bit which makes it worth living, is completely wasted on them.

As to psychopathy, I would suspect fractelle would immediately recognize Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot and most of the other

“hero’s of the socialist left”

as cold blooded murderers who oversaw mass killing on a scale which Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez, Theodore Bundy and David Berkowitz stand in awe of.

Just more leftie Humbug

No, no I haven’t. Weirdly enough I probably have been thrown up on more than most people and now get quite scared changing baby boys too. Actually I’m gonna stop thinking about it because my life is really quite disgusting, no wonder I obsessively clean things all the time.

Anyone seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” or read the book? I thought Houel would point out the cheap suite wearers should be grateful to even have a cheap suite.

Oh and you’re right Houel – “inhuman” might have been a bit harsh, they more have a look of “you must be heartless”.

Now are they thinking that or am I projecting? Might be me but it always always comes with words like “oh I couldn’t do that I would get too upset when they leave” Pfft wimps (nice clothes though).

Hey Fractelle I just asked my kid collection and they don’t know what a caveman or an astronaut is. It’s all batman, spiderman, super girl (dunno if that one is real or just made up by the budding feminists amongst them), bumblebee and optimus prime(transformer).

May have crossed threads there.
