Urgh! Fuck!: A thread for untamed hate and anger [PICS]

James Bredin whomever your sorry ass is, please fuck off!

11:55 / 29.02.08

Velvet, that is criminal. You shouldn't be forced to choose in that manner.

12:41 / 29.02.08

Papess - "This retired person has numberous degrees from the University of Toronto..." Heh.

16:02 / 29.02.08

Oh yes. U of T would be proud.

Mind numberously proud.

23:03 / 03.03.08

just a small addition to a 500 page document.

I just saw this on the news today so Im hoping there are others more in the know to let us know more?

23:27 / 03.03.08

Okay...that was weird. I just had this moment of being really pissed off because I tried to access the Gek thread and it's apparently locked out. Then I come to Conversation and after hours of no movement on the board, this thread is at the top at the same moment I am feeling upset. "Hmm, someone else is pissed off too. Let's see who it is." Long behold, one of my very dear friends, Keggers, is pissed off too! Not terribly happy about that, so I check to see why he is pissed off and of course, I totally concur with him. Harper is big, sorry fuckcake. However, as I am reading David Cronenberg's comments "It sounds like something they do in Beijing."...my little guy pipes up, out of the blue with, "Did you know that the next Olympics is being held in Beijing, China?". This all happens in the space of about 12 seconds. So now, I am not so much pissed off, as I am bedazzled and bewildered.

Still, I would like Gek's help. Ze has always come through for me before.

A) It's a really, really bad idea to try and intentionally cramp my style on the dancefloor, O Group of Sad Boys one of whom used to go out with someone I know. Don't you have things to talk about, or people to kiss with? Oh, no, you don't.

B) Futher, your waistcoat, Waistcoat Boy, though stylish on some, on you makes you look like someone in a play who doesn't want to be.

C) As for your 'Afro' - I don't like to call it that as you're exceptionally outside of coolness - Afro Boy, please, please, have an accident with shavers: because the Smug Grin must be removed.

Really fucking bad vibes.

Crikey oh-flipping McBlimeyshire! That's three umbrellas I've lost to the weather today, including a golf umbrolly, a compact (that got literally ripped apart as if by mystickckckck forcez!) and one that was in the middle with I took from lost property at work. Sod Green Day but it's a Boulevard of Broken Umbrellas out there, stuffed into any bin that hasn't got blown away itself.

As of yet I've not seen any reports claiming this is the worst storms to hit the south of the country since either 1987 or 'when records began' so I've got no means to measure how shitty it is out there but I was especially not pleased that, once I got to work, it stopped raining and the sun came out for a bit, then clouded over and started tipping it down again before I had to leave at lunchtime to go to another library.

So be careful out there you kids, especially those of you along the south coast. Don't go into the water!

21:15 / 10.03.08

From the back door, Lady. The telly said that there was a 95mph gust just down the road from me. So, yes, umberollies probably wouldn't work.

On the other hand, didn't the first one give you a hint?

To be fair, the wind seemed to have died down a bit when I initially left the tube station (I hadn't seen the weather report at that point) I didn't realise that going round the corner and into the natural wind tunnel of the British housing estate I'd be meeting it and all it's burly mates.

06:25 / 11.03.08

A hat, I think, is always preferable to an umbrella - let's face it, in harsh weather you could have someone's eye out with one of those things. Sporting a bumbershoot in high winds is a bit like cycling on the pavement, perhaps.

AAR; I'll admit to being out of touch with the youth, but having watched yesterday's episode of Skins, and having seen Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong on Channel Four the evening before, I'd suggest you just stay in your room until your finals are over. Assuming (I'm guessing) they're coming up this summer, that is.

Richey from the Manic Street Preachers was a notorious 'swot' at college, and it never did him ... actually, that's probably not the best example.

Still, I'd be inclined to focus on my coursework, were I you. All the people you now dislike will look very different in a a couple of years time; they may well in fact be even more obnoxious, but you can't let that sort of thing get you down.

This really, really makes my blood boil.

Why not do it in front of the flag, under a picture of the dear old queen at school morning assembly while they're about it?

This is the icing on the monarchist cake:

Lord Goldsmith said that while he favours an oath of allegiance to the Queen, the statement could be a pledge of commitment to the country or a statement of what the rights and responsibilities of citizens are.... He also stressed that he could not see why Republicans would not want to swear an oath, even though they may not believe in the present system of government. (my emphasis)

He can't see why not? Is that possibly because he's a member of the House of Lords?

Please take your oath of allegiance ideas and FUCK RIGHT OFF.

All Acting Regiment

10:17 / 12.03.08

Yeah, that can fuck off. As a country, you don't pledge an oath to an arbitrary authority when you know about heliocentric solar systems and stuff.

12:36 / 12.03.08

A genuine question, because I only know a very little about solar systems, but are there other sorts, then?

12:58 / 12.03.08

Just went to a restaurant for lunch and bit into an onion ring to find a chicken nugget embedded in the middle of it!

URGGHH DEAD THINGS! INSIDE ME!

Feeling rather nauseous now.

13:13 / 12.03.08

As a country, you don't pledge an oath to an arbitrary authority when you know about heliocentric solar systems and stuff.

I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
With liberty and justice for all.

At Catholic school, we had to add "born and unborn" to the end.

I think recently they discovered a binary star system with planets orbiting just one star. Here are some fun options to play with. I'm not sure if these'd be properly "heliocentric" since there are two suns, one not in the center. There's more about the thing I remember here and here,which included systems with three or four suns spinning around an invisible center.

14:06 / 12.03.08

To be fair, in the bit you quoted he did say it didn't have to be to the Queen, even though that's what he'd favour. I'm assuming a non-Queenly oath is what he imagines Republicans wouldn't have a problem with.

It's still a fucking shit idea, though.

And in other hate and anger news, they're opening a fucking Nando's on the site of the old Vortex Jazz Bar on Church Street in Stokey. I know it's not the first big chainstore (that prize obviously goes to Whole Foods' Fresh & Wild franchise) but it's still shit and having TWO now means there'll probably be a fucking MacDonalds here in a few years' time. Fuck that shit.

All Acting Regiment

16:07 / 12.03.08

A genuine question, because I only know a very little about solar systems, but are there other sorts, then?

I meant that now we know that our solar system is heliocentric, whereas before we didn't. Which is, I suppose, assuming you need to know sciencey stuff to properly criticise royalty ... hmm. Maybe you don't. I think it makes it easier though.

I guess there must be some with more than one sun. That would still be heliocentric, though. Hmm.

17:44 / 12.03.08

Pfah. I should have remembered my Star Wars. Thanks grant, AAR.

15:26 / 26.03.08

Please take your oath of allegiance ideas and FUCK RIGHT OFF.

At least you guys won’t have to pay £655 for the privilege. I’m in the process of applying for British citizenship (which will involve a citizenship ceremony and an oath of allegiance) and I’ve just found out that this is the fee I will have to pay. Bit steep.

All Acting Regiment

15:30 / 26.03.08

The fact that someone wants to come and live in this fucking place is a better sign of dogged determination, unconditional acceptance and undeserved optimism than any oath of allegiance can ever be.

15:42 / 26.03.08

Headsick. Check.
Rage. Check.

I am properly fucked off that my g/f was well hassled by some fucking specimen while walking alone down a side street in Camden the other night AND that when she told me about it she ended it with "I guess I was wearing a really short skirt".

Fuck you, you fucking shitter for making this wonderful girl feel like she can't wear what she likes. I hope your penis melts and you wake up in a pool of fleshy goop wondering just where the fuck it all went wrong.

17:38 / 26.03.08

Absolutely, but do be careful in Camden late at night, all the same.

18:00 / 26.03.08

Quite apart from anything else, after about ten you're in danger of meeting this or that geezer, who knows the score.

Mon Oncle Ignatius

Ah. Nice. I'll tell Lilly Nowhere. Ze'll be terribly pleased to hear how much it'll cost.

18:36 / 26.03.08

rakehell: I share your rage--but well done you for being the sort of person who would respond to that with rage rather than just nodding along and telling her to be more careful how she dresses next time. By manifesting anger, you're affirming that what happened was WRONG and not excusable. Well done you.

19:02 / 26.03.08

I'm assuming I don't really have to say this. But just in case; everyone should be careful in Camden, after closing time. It can be a bit rough.

Mon Oncle Ignatius

21:06 / 26.03.08

Isn't closing time in Camden something like all night long?

21:33 / 26.03.08

It is. At least depending on the circles you move in.

But I don't want to talk about the days (day, really) that I spent smoking crack outside the Sainsbury's. I'm beyond all that now. I think of myself as a serious, literary figure in 2008, and I've never been one to delude myself. One way or another, I've always been about keeping it real.

High five, anyone? Low five? A middling three? A one?

21:36 / 26.03.08

There's still a mountain to climb, perhaps.

16:31 / 27.03.08

Thanks all for your words. We live in Camden so there tends to be a fair amount of after hours walking being done. Most of the time it's actually much better than elsewhere in London cause we're both goth-ish, but this guy was described to me as "kind of a jock" (in the US sense) so I guess he was just after a bit of rough.

What really got to me was that I was the one going "you should wear what you want to wear and not get shouted at and followed" and she was saying "I should be more careful and cover up". It's annoying that the world isn't more like (most of Barbelith) and that my g/f's day-to-day reality is so different from the way these things should be.

Actually, something else I hate. When shit happens that makes me go "oh, that's right, most of the world is fucked!" I tend to associate almost exclusively with people who are free from sexism, racism, bigotry, etc, so it's quite a shock to get in a cab and have the guy start about "the blacks" or whatever. Or someone you work with saying something about "the poofs". Or some dickwart yelling at a woman walking down the road, really.

16:33 / 27.03.08

Oh and, Alex's G: Smoking crack outside the supermarket in Camden is exactly the sort of thing a serious literary figure needs in their past, right?

There are not enough expletives in this or any other language for how pissed I am right fucking now, with Amanda Fucking Marcotte, with her publishers, with the whole shitty fucking mess.

A little context is here.

I am not linking to bloody Feministe on principle. Too little, too fucking late.

All Acting Regiment

13:23 / 27.04.08

Yeah, I don't know how it ever seemed like a good idea to use those specific racist (50s 'Tarzan'-styled) cartoons - I appreciate there's been an appropriation of the Betty Page look for vaguely feminist ends (bear in mind that this is supported by people who defend Suicide Girls as something other than porn) but, as one of the bloggers said, why would you choose the specifically racist ones? Why not pictures of woman workers from the 40s or some of the Soviet propaganda posters?

Less searchable M0rd4nt

13:58 / 27.04.08

Yeah, why the fuck not? There's plenty of non-racist imagery of a similar stripe out there.

What really yanks my chain is all the people justifying it with cries of "ooh, but it's caaaampy!" That and Seal's pathetic sorry-you-suck non-apology. And the fact that Marcotte has already driven one of the better female bloggers offline.

And the whole fucking thing where modern feminism currently seems to want to stab anyone who isn't a white upper-middle-class womyn-born-womyn liberal arts graduate in the fucking back, of course.
