Less Of A Leper

By jump the ladder (Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 08:29:03 AM EST) (all tags)

Finally thanks to Dead Sea breaking its back and a bit of the ol' steriod cream, I'm now almost psoarisis free after 10 years of it. Nice smooth skin rather than flaky and itchy crap. Don't have it in the scalp either so no permament "dandruff". Can wear shorts and tee shirts without embarassment.

Poll: which religion do you think Blair should have converted to?

Weekend

Did fuck all this weekend. Lent my car to my brother so he could drive to Glastonbury music festival. As it was pissing down most of the weekend, couldn't be arsed actually doing anything.

Linkies

Office big brother monitors and stats up your conversations with your fellow workers. Bet New Labour will want one of these for every home.

Funny Guardian columnist experiences Glastonbury for the first time.

I thought he was into crystals and stuff by nebbish (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 09:08:11 AM EST

Upon which I lost all respect for him. Is he going to mix and match New age bollocks with the repressive backwardness of Catholicism? Makes me sick.

WIPO: Methodism. He might learn something about the labour movement.

It's political correctness gone mad!

An infallible leader by jump the ladder (4.00 / 1) #2 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 09:18:55 AM EST

Answerable only to God who lesser mortals must put their trust in. Sounds like the Catholic Chiurch is right up Tony's steet :)

Isn't Cherie the one more into the New Age bollocks. Sounds like Tony is doing the usual male thing of humouring the missus's little irrationalities.

He'll have to, the missus earns more than he does.

Didn't they have a rebirthing ceremony by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #4 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 09:28:03 AM EST

or something? A lady would have to be pretty damn special for me to go through that, and even then I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself laughing.

Can't see wee Gordon Brown doing that :)

Good point by dmg (2.00 / 0) #12 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 06:47:17 PM EST

At least GB is to be taken seriously and seems to have some kind of intelligence about him. One gets the impression he understands the political arguments for not joining the Euro somewhat better than Bliar.

If we are going to have a Socialist government redistributing my wealth, all I ask is that it is competent.

Hopefully Brown will slap down some of the more chavvish elements that the Bliar touchy-feely style of government has promoted.

Obviously in an ideal world someone with the gravitas and moral conviction of Mrs Thatcher would come along with the Conservative party to lead us off the road to serfdom we currently find ourselves on. I am not holding my breath however, and am currently looking for a bolt-hole. Switzerland is looking particularly attractive at the moment...

Thatcher by jump the ladder (2.00 / 0) #13 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 06:54:51 PM EST

I know what you mean but I'm not sure I ever want to go there ever again.

: Its the competence, not the policies. by dmg (2.00 / 0) #14 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 07:58:09 PM EST

Like or dislike Thatcher, something would have had to be done about the excessive union power eventually, or the UK would have gone communist, at around the same time the rest of the world was rejecting it...
Also as a working class comprehensively "educated" person, I appreciate everything Thatch did to break down the 'old school tie' network and allow a somewhat more meritocratic approach to hold sway (at least in the City).
I suspect most people who hate Thatcher haven't really thought it through. What was the alternative?
What pisses me off about government in general is the sheer inefficiency and incompetence that not being answerable to market forces seems to promote.
More privatisation, not less is the solution to almost all the UK's ills.
Congratulations on your leprosy btw :-)
I wonder how many other illnesses can be cured by lounging around in the sun surrounded by scantily clad hotties?
Is it tax-deductable?

Congratulations by Phage (2.00 / 0) #5 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 09:28:25 AM EST

On the new epidermis. That is bloody brilliant.

Nice Glasto article
All the goodwill for humankind I'd built up during the day drained away in seconds. I felt like ripping through the side of my tent and pushing his eyes into the back of his skull with my thumbs - which isn't really in keeping with any festival spirit I know of.

I voted for Socialism, but there's a lot to be said for the traditional values of hermits, and their self-flagellation.

If... by anonimouse (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 09:40:28 AM EST

JTL had gone to Glastonbury for the mud, he could've saved himself a trip to the Dead Sea. Just take a bag of salt....

: Sadly by jump the ladder (2.00 / 0) #7 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 10:04:17 AM EST

You need to lie out in sunlight for hours for the Dead Sea stuff to work. That was sadly lacking at Glasters this year.

shorts by Merekat (2.00 / 0) #9 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 10:26:12 AM EST

Congratulations. Very few englishmen not on a football pitch achieve the wearing of shorts without embarrassment:)

BTW, if you wanted to try a different climate, I believe the Blue Lagoon in Iceland has similar theraputic effects.

: It's not the Dead Sea as such by jump the ladder (2.00 / 0) #10 Mon Jun 25, 2007 at 10:32:18 AM EST

It's mostly the sunlight as you can lie out in it for 8 hours or so without suncream because of filtering from the Dead sea evapouration and being 400m below sea level.
I only wear shorts on my bike really.
