Trying to watch some of Christopher Nolan's films on an ultrawide 21:9 screen. Stop switching the bloody aspect ratio.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Not sure how to feel. I'm hungover as f*ck, but checked the wallet and i've only used a 20(includes the 10€ drinks for pre-pub stuff) and i've got almost two packs of cigs left.

I was expecting to have a fiver left, maybe 2 cigs and less of a hangover.

Left my phone in a taxi in Bangkok. Super fucking annoying, even though it was on its last legs.

Am due an upgrade, but the Z4 isn't out yet. Boo.

Left my phone in a taxi in Bangkok.

Translation: I had a bet with a ladyboy I picked up in a dive bar that mine was bigger than hers and I lost.

Super fucking annoying, even though it was on its last legs.

Translation: S-/he made me her slave for a weekend and fed me nothing but vodka, viagra and semen.

Am due an upgrade, but the Z4 isn't out yet. Boo.

Translation: have already booked my return flight. Chanchai and I will be together again soon!


OT: Bummer Bods. I'd happily buy the Z3 compact all over again, but not with the Z4 so close :-/

Am in a Communion, Girlfriend's cousin's. She just played 3 years with of GF cards in 1 sittings.

Hope she enjoys watching Star Wars back to back :|

 

[Moriath]

No idea what gf cards are or what you mean by a comunion. Unless ots the religious one.

Of course its the religious one. Its communion season. My niece's was yesterday as well (I'm banned from talking to her about religion).

 

[Overdriven]

Yeah religious ones. Cards (BF/GF) are metaphorical cards which are played, which cannot be escaped.

Weddings, doings things what you want to do, but have to because the card is played.

Sigh.

 

[Moriath]

Didnt know there was a comunion season. We dont play 'cards' me and my wife if i dont want to go or she then we dont have to.

Lifes too short to do stuff you dont like.

what? she's clearly 3 or so. talk to her all you like ffs

I don't encessarily agree with this. It's the parents choice afterall.

 

[Raven]

It is the humans choice.

Parents shouldn't be allowed to imprint their mental illness onto a child and if they do, it should be taken into care.

 

[Hawkwind]

Write a short piece on how much you enjoy chasing down and raping seagulls.

More fun to roll up some bread balls with Tabasco inside . Sit back and watch the chaos ensue.

 

[DaGaffer]

She's 15. It was her confirmation, not communion, I get all the catholic jibber-jabber confused. It was really hard for her parents to get her in to the school (in London most of the best non-private schools are god-bothering types) so I've been on standing orders not to fuck things up with my Enlightenment values.

Now, my own kids...that's going to be a different matter. I've already made it clear that I'm not going to lie to my kids to keep the school happy.

My wife is continually telling our son never to repeat what I say at school

I have a feeling my wife will be exactly the same. Its quite interesting; she says she doesn't believe in God, but is happy for the kids to along with all the nonsense like communion (which I find full-on creepy, with all the little girls wearing white dresses), just so they "fit-in". When I point out that this is exactly how the church perpetuates the system, I can see spinning ones and zeros behind her eyes and sparks coming out of her ears. Problem is, even though there are secular schools, they're mostly crap, and over 90% of Irish schools are still run/owned by the church.

I'm getting married in the same church I was baptised in, in two months. Not so much because I am a heavily believer, but more because of tradition. My son isn't baptised. When he is old enough and if he feels the need for a religion, he should be able to choose one he likes and not one that I forced on him

That's a funny way of saying "a load of made up fairy bollocks" .

So you don't think it's the parents choice to tell someone they shouldn't tell their kids stuff?

Your reply is changing the subject, so just checking.

 

[caLLous]

It shouldn't be up to the parents to permanently disfigure their child, no.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Again, not what i said. Nevermind, seems it's too hard to read and comprehend today.

 

[caLLous]

Well of course it shouldn't be up to the parents. It's the child's life, not theirs. In an ideal situation, the child should be of no religion until they are old enough to make an informed decision or at least be able to change or withdraw their allegiance with no pressure from their parents.

The irreversible mutilation bit real fucks me off though.

Brilliant. Trust this subject to come up this week. My little lad has to go and get circumcised (for medical reasons, his turtleneck is too tight) and I'm horrified enough by the idea as it is without comments about mutilation.

 

[Fweddy]

I bought my girlfriend a personalised wine glass for her birthday. I spent a long time trying to figure out the perfect, honest, heartfelt message to have on it but in the end I think I cracked it.

Spoiler

 

[old.Tohtori]

@caLLous just to clarify, i agree that circumsicion etc shouldn't be done, should be the kids choice(when old enough) as well as religion and all that, what i was saying is that it's the parents right to tell someone else to stop if they don't want them telling their kids stuff. Such as there's no god, there is a god, there's no easterbunny, or that gays poop rainbows.

You don't have to agree with their methods, but you do have to give their right to be morons towards their own kids.
