Your son gets a taxi to school?

Just because the Grimlet will get chauffeur-driven to school in the Rolls. With his nanny. And his butler.

Special needs school, catchment area is "derbyshire/nottinghamshire" so they taxi them all in.

Just a quick question.. was playing Black Ops last night, and one of the folks had the Nazi Logo(swatzsticker - spelling) as his logo. Is that allowed or should I put it down to just bad taste..

I'm trying to buy a wardrobe. How hard can it be?

Well...

We've seen the one we like in Ikea. It's massive and as such, the 2 sliding doors weigh around 10 stone when packaged together! This is blowing my mind... That's really heavy... and they're really big too!

I'm going to have to go down there and get the student worker at Ikea to carry them for me aren't I? This should be fun.

I got mine delivered so I did not have to worry about it

Christ no, the Swastika has been around as a symbol for over 3000 years and was, IIRC a symbol of good luck originally.

I'm going to have to get mine delivered too but I'm going to go to the store first, buy all the stuff and then take it to the delivery area and have it next day.

It'll give me something to do in between the rugby this weekend.

Pax wardrobes kick ass, but be prepared to spend hours bickering about which combination of inner bits you want, only to find most of them out of stock when you try to buy them.

That's exactly what I thought. That's massively heavy! *Heavier than me :smug:

*Not at all

We've already gone through the wardrobe assembly thing online and have a print out of what I need. The pieces we've chosen are pretty simple and standard so fingers crossed... they'll have them!

Only just heard Brian Jacques died. He's always lived in the house right behind mine, but regrettably, I didn't know him very well. He used to speak to my mum and dad in the garden, but sort of lost touch after a few trees grew in the way, hah!

R.I.P.

Any chance I could be a member of the independent tasting panel of judges? I consider myself an expert of the highest calibre in the matter of eating fine cakes with great gusto.

Must admit, flis' cakes look awesome in that pic. Mrs C is a great cook but cannot bake for shit - it's her achilles heel.

Cavey · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:17

In other news, Mrs C and I are going to see Iron Maiden in the summer - tickets booked, T-shirts ordered.

Can't wait! :metul:

Mrs Curio is awesome at baking. We had a bajillion cupcakes for our wedding, and she made them all.

Awesome mate, I'm jealous!

I love the idea of loads of individual cup cakes for a wedding cake too. Teen Angel #2 is having this for her wedding next year.

You could get the best of both worlds by having individual full-size cakes. OM NOM NOM.

You can report them directly from the game , click on their profile , report , offensive tag.

(and although the symbol has been around for thousands of years , the answer to the original question is no they are not allowed in game)

Cheers I was not offended (other than he kept killing me), just thought it was bad taste

Bear in mind that, unless Ikea delivery has changed, they only deliver to the front door, and won't carry up stairs. Twats, I live in a fucking flat, what were you expecting!

Mine delivered it to teh lounge... which was ideal, as I could unbox and take up stairs the bits I needed

Does anybody remember that joke about the difference between Ayn Rand and Harry Potter? I've forgotten how it went. I think it was about Atlas Shrugged, specifically.

'Who is JK?'

EDIT: Great, I've just come across a page of Harry Potter/Ayn Rand crossover fanfic, as well as a page discussing HP's libertarian subtexts.

YOG · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 13:49

It's definitely a pretty witty comparison, I just can't remember what it was. D'oh! I'm not touching that link with a 666-foot pole.

Book swap tonight with Polish Girl!

I really need to not fancy her. Stupid brian.

(That was meant to say brain, but I quite like the image of some kind of troublesome Brian going round ruining things)

Crumbs, they're making an Atlas Shrugged movie. I bet that'll be a light-hearted journey full of whimsy and joy.
