Had a drunk fall asleep on my back on the bus back from work - who the hell gets THAT drunk at five PM and gets the bus home alone? Aside from sad, lonely alcoholics... Ah, think I've answered my own question there! Oh, also had a customer at work say he is going to come to the office and...

I work with quite a few people, and several of the younger ones only know "Joseph Stalin" as the stage name of Joey from Friends...

I've been playing Theme Hospital on and off since it was released. Beat that!

Wow, forgot how frightening school used to be... Not violence, but this reminds me of something I actually came on here for advice for - the threads are here http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.83146?page=1and here http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.83929#1182873...

Firstly, if she didn't sign any sort of confidentiality agreement when starting work there's no confidentiality to break. Secondly, considering that if, say, a GP were told something that broke the law and made them fear for your or others safety, they would be legally obliged to tell the...

So I'm guessing that permission slips are needed to watch Nazi propaganda as well? It's almost frightening (sorry, it actually IS genuinely frightening) watching the reactions from many Americans to Obama from the outside, especially when it comes to Healthcare - it takes five minutes to...

"Gray" is exclusively an American variation of the colour "Grey". You can look into it as much as you like, but the bottom line is that "Grey" is the correct, English spelling, and "Gray" is rarely found outside of the U.S. when used to describe the colour. As per Wiki - Aside from names...

I'm really, really pale so I do sometimes wear a really light foundation to cover dark circles under my eyes (as a general rule, if you can see I'm wearing it by any further away than a few cm it's a no-go, I'm really really strict with myself about that - I want to look like myself, but after a...

Coruscate - To me it means a display similar to flames creeping across a piece of paper or cigarette. (Official definition: cor·us·cate (kôr'ə-skāt', kŏr'-) intr.v. cor·us·cat·ed, cor·us·cat·ing, cor·us·cates To give forth flashes of light; sparkle and glitter: diamonds...

This is the first time I've seen a book recommendation thread get to two pages without mentioning Terry Pratchett's Discworld series! I've got about a hundred manga, and am three short of owning every single Discworld book, most of which need replacing due to my quite literally reading them to...

It has been suggested that some need of the girl might not have been met - this is a valid point and may be the case, but if so I honestly feel that it was her responsibility to tell you that something was wrong (if she did and you ignored it then that's another matter) - keep remembering that...

That's a horrible thing to happen hun, but you now know that she isn't the person you should be with, and that you can't trust your friend - I know people who say that they've slept with someone by accident, but unless it's the most precise, repeated fall in the history of bad excuses, that just...

Dislocated right knee several times, put it back in myself each time. 28 gastric ulcers with a one inch diameter duodenal - one of the smaller ones perforated and I lost three stone in two months from not eating (not technically an injury, but it's the worst pain I've ever been in, didn't...

First time was watching Waynes World 2, sitting next to some idiot who said every single bloody line one second before the actors said it. Second was the blind date from hell, watching Se7en, where his first line to me was "you can hold onto my arm if you get scared" (he was my karate...

As evidenced by the atrocious, purely functional design of male genitalia. Still remember the first time I saw an adult one IRL - scared the Jesus-ified ZP out of me... BTW: When God made man s/he made him out of string, he had a little left, so s/he made a little thing.
