Actually, Oliver! is an exception to my rule on musicals. That is mainly because I gave a starring performance as one of the workhouse boys as well as one of Fagan's gang in a school play as a child. Had a solo part as well.

Did you just turn up in your usual attire?

The culture thread also taught us that unless you want to look as if you're ready to man the tills at B&Q, never where a green shirt and jumper combo.

Wear.

What the hell is the matter with you this morning. Your spelling and comprehension is appalling.

The Jungle Book is a good musical, some of the tunes are very catchy.

There should be a question mark (or, preferably, an interrobang) after "morning". Great use of "appalling" though, made me laugh, I'm going to be using it in most situations today.

Another example of a sentence where an interrobang could've been used.

I forget about interrobangs. I really like them as well.

Learned about them on the Reykjavik thread.

Cider and Red Wine last night. Always a bit ropey after that combo.

'?!' is often the notation for the interrobang. It saves having to cut and paste '‽' from a web-site.

by Il Gialloblu Wed 11 Dec 2013, 11:35

Once was a good film that had good music in it.

That sentence sounds kind of poetic or summat, but I mean the film called Once.

by **seanmichaels** Wed 11 Dec 2013, 11:37

Has anyone seen Mamma Mia?

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed 11 Dec 2013, 11:37

Rocky Horror Picture Show is also good.

You only need to cut and paste from a web-site once, after that you just need to keep asking aggressive questions and you can use the interrobang from your previous post. Isn't that right, Julius‽

JuliusHMarx wrote:How the f*ck should I know‽‽

I've never thought of using a double interrobang, I'm going to call it "ganginterrobanging". It will work quite well with "appalling".

by Mind the windows Tino. Wed 11 Dec 2013, 12:10

I don't like it when Julius uses coarse language. It's like hearing your mum swear.

I was appalled as well‽‽

What about sextuplinterrobanging?

by **Galted** Wed 11 Dec 2013, 12:25

I'd call that a "ferocious interrogangbanging".

I like Il Gia quite a lot but he has an annoying habit of pointing out inconsistencies in people arguments.

Not mine, as I don't have any inconsistencies, but the rest of you should watch out for him.

Thanks mate. I like you too.

For clarity though, do you mean arguments between people or arguments about people?

I like him, he was kind enough to pretend on the 15 to 1 thread that I was bright enough to go on the show. On the back of that I am happy to overlook the other flaws he may have in his character.

Cheers Tina, very festive of you to say so. Will have to attempt to be generally more pleasant around here. Scottrf has reappeared which should help with my mood.

Fried Udon noodles with beef and black pepper sauce today.

Look!:

Was pretty nice but not cheap. £2.50. Wouldn't normally pay over 50p for noodles but it was the last class of my photography course this morning so went for lunch afterwards with the teacher and some students.

That's not my photo of the noodles. They're not even my noodles.

by Rowley Wed 11 Dec 2013, 13:42

Corned beef salad sandwich and packet of pickled onion monster munch. All nice enough but am still fairly peckish so not really done their job. Have to say would have preferred the noodles.

They look like worms.

Cheese rolls today. Boring but I am out for dinner tonight so saving myself for that.

Would ask if you are going anywhere nice Tina but you city boys never do otherwise do you?

by **Galted** Wed 11 Dec 2013, 13:48

I wasn't very hungry so I just stayed at my desk and wanked for a bit.

I don't go out with work that often. They are all like TopHat so I try and avoid it whenever possible. Christmas do tonight though so I am making an exception.

Me too!

You in London or back home (if it's the latter I'm not sure why you're saving yourself).

I'm off to Kopapa in Covent Garden, 'tis very nice.

In that case would certainly avoid the all you can eat buffets, would be absolute carnage.

Wow, you do work hard to keep up that 'northern-roots/faux-socialist' charade, don't you??

London. Why would I go have a Christmas do at home? Surely that is just Christmas dinner?

by TopHat24/7 Wed 11 Dec 2013, 13:56

You hadn't remarked it was an Xmas do when I typed that, just that you were 'out for dinner'. Thought you could've been taking the missus to Nandos or something.....

Good point. I'll concede that one.

Yes, out for Christmas dinner with work. Never been to Kopapa. What are the portion sizes like? Do you have two of every course?

Haha

Last time I went the starter was too small but the main was perfect.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't eat big portion sizes at restaurants, only when I cook at home. Unless it's Hawksmoor, in which case it's go big or go home!!

I had some left over slow roast pork from Sunday and half a bag of bombay mix. Cooking lamb meatballs with cous cous and harissa later so that'll get the taste buds going.

I know a couple of prostitutes called couscous and harissa. Are they the ones you're cooking meatballs with?

Had a session earlier after I'd finished my Apple & Cinnamon Crunch mixed with Berry and Orange Granola and milk but now my wrist is a bit sore and I'm struggling to finish yesterday's 54-minute Times deadly killer sudoku.
