Looks like i'm on TV tonight! (Tues 28th)

[Shippou-Sensei]

why did you agree to do it btw?

because i didn't mind doing it... i knew it had an agenda but i wasn't really concerned about it because i have nothing i feel i really need worry about

i spose the major thing that irks me is that they got my age wrong... i dunno how that happened

they should have check on the internet!

 

[Kizmet]

they cut the bit where i said that in networking all computer require names so i just give mine amusing ones

in this case it used to be my main computer was mahoro (the robot maid) and therefore the laptop was minawa (her little sister in the show)

To be fair.. by cutting out the bit where you admit to fantasiszing about metal women... they may have done you a favour....

[mrs quoad]

i've just seen atomic suplex and mrs quoad on a terrible telly prog

*raises eyebrow*

Not Ibiza Uncovered?

Don't think I've ever been on owt else

Woo @ Shippy!

 

[Santino]

to be honest i'm not sure what addiction is and i doubt it applies to me

I'm not saying this applies to you, but denying that there even is an addiction you can be suffering from sounds like a classic symptom of addiction. YMMV and caveat emptor and all that.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

that is a bi of a catch 22

if you say you do have an addiction your an adict.. if you say you don't have an addiction your in denial..

i talked about that too but it hit the editing room floor


the guy pulled up a list of addiction symptoms at one point and not one of them could really be applied to my situation..

This is why - generally speaking and when I've got my sensible head on - I wouldn't diagnose anyone else

Meh, if it's interfering with someone's life. And they want to do something about it. Then tbh who gives a shit about what label something's given?

Hi, my name's mrs quoad and I'm a flying spaghetti monster. Fantastic! If that's what someone feels is the description that applies to their life, then if they want to do something about whatever it is that feels fits the tag 'flying spaghetti monster' in their own internal world - then great stuff! Might be exactly what 'addict' means to me - but that's my stuff, my tag and my label. And one that I choose to own.

And if they don't think they've got a problem - then likewise!? Whose problem is it if not their own

Woo @ Shippy!

You were on shippy's prog silly (well not you, just the urban screen but there was a post by a certain Mrs Quoad ...)

Pah!

the future looks grim for you too


try going to the post office more!



sorry it was from when i was talking to him he thought going to the post office was part of life great opertunities and that i would interact with proper human being and have a better life for it..

unfortunately my response of "not in brixton post office!" only got laughs from by standers

Privileged

And more gracious / dignified than my appearance on I.U., I'd bank.

True, but not exactly what I was getting at. There is a difference between saying 'I like a drink, but I'm not an alcoholic' and 'I don't think alcoholism really exists, so I can't be one'.

It reminds me of Socrates who, when accused of corrupting the youth of Athens, argued that corrupting someone was like harming them, and that if you harmed someone they might harm you back, and therefore it would be irrational to corrupt anyone, and therefore he wouldn't have done it. Not his finest moment. And after I typed all that it doesn't seem as relevant as when I started. Heigh ho.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

You know, I can't find this anywhere - the London Programme is all about crime and Linda Robson it seems. Is it tacked on at the end of another program or something?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

he wielded a poor weapon of power point and "better lifestyles"

it was the crap about how going to the post office is better for you than e-mail that really got me

Who intervened: your parents?

perhaps you were so intent staring at the ground your arse made a study of the moon?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

no one intervened

just from then on i found his arguments more and more hollow

 

[FridgeMagnet]

It is like an arse pointing at the moon.

Don't concentrate on the arse, or you will miss all the heavenly glory.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Anyway, I still can't find the video.

Pure poetry.

My question is, how did you come to be in contact with addiction experts etc?

 

[editor]

To the rescue

http://www.itvlocal.com/london/documentaries/

That's one pug-ugly site.

Where's this doco then?

 

[Santino]

I feel I should be insulted, but I don't know why.

Anyway, I've seen your bedroom on telly, and you haven't seen mine, so who's had the last laugh now, eh?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i think AS said look for it tommorow

it's from a greek comedy about socrates it was a joke that his concept of questioning everything led to his students to stare at the ground to make sure it was really there one was so intent on his study that his arse made an indapendant study of the moon

This is the internet. By tomorrow, it won't mean anything any more, or it will only be good for posting captions on. Lolshippies.
