If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Hello Dick Strawkins, thank you for your reply. What really concerns me is that someone came onto a site, said, "I have recovered memories" and everyone goes, "That's awful" rather than, "Are you sure that this happened?" It's tough love - someone needed to say to him at the time, "You need evidence...

Ah, but usually I'm a lurker. I flounced about 2 years ago and couldn't stick it. I only login to comment, and I haven't felt compelled to do that for a long time. Hi Skeptickle - isn't that the one where they discuss it, not the original post? He mentioned writing on RW's blog and all this stuff 'c...

Comhinc - at least one guest will be me, relax........ So with Twitter banning 'hate' towards teh wymmen, does that mean Katie Hopkins will be suspended? Although women, you know, never Tweet hatred towards other women. BTW, can anyone point me to Ogvorbis' original "I remember I'm a rapist" post? I...

Good grief, go to sleep, go to work and I have a lot to read! OK, Decius, you and I are not going to agree, so I will just leave you with two links - watch or don't watch, I don't think they will be sufficient to change your mind. http://home.theharcombedietclub.com/2012/04/a-calorie-is-not-a-calori...

Guest, you could try looking at the factual stuff then. Gary Taubes would be a good start.

GenerallyFading, if your total caloric intake is lower than your consumption, then you will lose weight whatever the proportion of nutrients. On the other hand, if you wish to deny the first law of thermodynamics, we have a problem. Right, will try posting with a quote - calories in, calories out i...

But why would I need to listen to anything more, when I can see the evidence for myself? Look, I'm not really interetsed in changing your mind, I can recognise concrete set in stone. I am trying to point out an alternative way of thinking to "Oh, they're fat, there must be no other explanation than ...

FFS - having trouble answering with quotes, can't post anything with them. Decius, I am watching myself lose weight. My doctor is watching me do it too. I don't get why you think you're right when it's not your body. There are many, many people in the same boat - most recommend a diet of 75% fat, 20...

Renee, may I suggest you have a look at the work of Dr Richard K. Bernstein, who wrote "The Diabetes Solution"? I don't know if it will help your firend (or even yourself), but he presents the scientific evidence behind his diet. His is very boring and difficult to stick to, but works brilliantly as...

If you eat nothing at all, the lack of food will not spike your glucose levels, and therefore will not produce the insulin reaction which causes you to store fat. This is why you don't get fat people in famine stricken countries (except for the protruding bellies we see in African kids). But fat peo...

Tigzy - With respect - FUCK ALL OVER THAT. As a type 2 diabetic, who has weight issues due to HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS, and nothing to do with fucking exercise, fucking eating less and fucking dickheads who know nothing about what's wrong with dieting, the "healthy" five a day crap, the useless "Re...

I'm very interested in the victim mentality because I used to be one. I was bullied at work, suffered from symptoms described as PTSD, had depression, self-harmed, was suicidal. I joined a Depression forum and we all talked and sympathised and at the time it was really helpful. As time went on, I be...

Oh, any pictures of your cat? Maybe we could have a cat thread (except I can't have one myself). I know what you mean, my mum had a tri-colour who she had to give medcine to once. I think she still has the scars. You kind of clamped onto her, she' struggle so hard you'd be afraid of breaking a limb,...

Yay! Do we get more piccies of snakes? I love Spitting Cobras, bad ass snake - actually aiming for the easist way to disable a person/prey. When I saw "Day of the Triffids" and one of the characters talks about the plants having rudimentry sentience, I was sceptical. But it happens in nature. Excell...

... ...... ......... WHAT THE FUCK IS AN UMBRELLA GOING TO DO AGAINST A BOULDER???? NEVER MIND WHY YOU WOULD THINK AN UMBRELLA WOULD BE AN EFFECTIVE ANTI-BOULDER DEVICE IN REAL LIFE, IN A DRAWING YOU CAN DRAW ANYTHING AS A DEFENSE AGAINST BOULDERS. WHY WOULD YOU DRAW UMBRELLAS????? WHY NOT ROCKET L...

I'm gone on "Oblivion". In some ways it's better than "Skyrim". At least there's not much stuttering. I'm busy collecting houses and running around killing deer. One good thing about "Skyrim" : the dead bunny count. I read up on the internet before playing too much, and was advised to select major s...

Your corn snake is very pretty, I wish we could meet! I saw two corn snakes this weekend at a country fair (which also boasted a skunk and a tarantula) but they weren't allowing people to handle them. I think it's because the snakes might have escaped. I love "Deadly 60" and shows like that when the...

You think the special effects on B5 are old??!?! I want to watch what you're watching! Sorry Ted, I've been unwell recently, so been offline for a while - offline as in "don't have the energy to think, let alone type". I recommend "The Family Man" - local library? I got a Graphic novel from there in...

Ted, who were the good Ga'oulds? I can't remember their name. They were a rebel group who did good shit instead of bad shit. Samantha's father became one. That was a great show, StarGate. I think I might get the series on DVD one of these days. The Tokra. Had to go and look it up, it was bugging me...

Hey, hey, hey - BIG B5 fan here! I was there, you know. I was there when Jerry Doyle stood in front of myself and a select group of friends and we tried to get a good shot of his behind! He has a very nice behind. But Andrea Thompson was on stage at the time and we were afraid of being mind raped or...

Optimus Prime was blown up? Why, we build a new body and copy over his brain that someone stored on this floppy disk (this is where the "sort of" is, unless a super-advanced sentient alien robot's mind takes up less than 1.38 MB) and used in some weird computer game. The nice part was that even aft...

OK, Ted, that is superb!! "Farscape" - thank you! Not "Pigs in Space".... ;) I just couldn't get on with it. Maybe it got better. "New Mutants" originally had a point. You're 13 or so, and suddenly you can fry people with your brain. Are you going to consider that it's a bad thing to kill 'evil' peo...

The problem with "The Road" was that if you didn't get into the whole "this is about one brief moment of people's lives" thing, it was pretty much about nothing at all. Perhaps its head was rather too far up its own arse to make any sense - the book was almost certainly better. But I was struck by t...

NONONO you must get angry about how your concerns were mansplained and dismissed by Privileged White Males! It's proof that everyone else is free of spamming but you, and therefore they must be in on the Spammeriarchy! What is this cheerful acceptance nonsense. What are you, some kind of gender tra...

I can beat "Blindness" for "The most depressing movie of all time" award (I did find "Blindness" a good movie though). "The Road". Although, despite being endlessly depressed for most of it, the ending was kind of uplifting. Possibly in a "Let's all believe in Santa Claus which will make everything ...

If you want to get really worked up about it generallyfading you could write a blog post, greta xxxtina will probably even post about breaking into tears when she reads it. Opheila will blame it on dj grothe though EXcellent idea! I'll go off an troll DJ to show support. Oh, no wait.... Cheers for ...

Bugger, Lsuomo, can you make that link not viable??

Ahhhhh! I'm having huge problems with this site today!!!

You should go back, Amy Pond ROCKS!!!! Actually, "The girl who waited" was one of the best episodes I have ever seen. Rory is lovely too. Can't make up my mind about Matt Smith. Blake's 7 - you should go on YouTube and put in "Heart of Courage/Blakes 7", whilst that music makes reading cornflake pac...

Afternoon all Just logged into Hotmail and have received a spam email from (supposedly) the following address :- contact-2648@babooniwf.com Is this an attack from some unethical baboon who's handed my email address to a spammer, or am I simply being paranoid? I'm not particulalry worried, as all add...

With Bunnygate, he fucked up. He posted the cartoon approvingly, and went off-line for a bit; and when he came back, he found that the commentary had taken on a vicious momentum in a direction that cast a bad light on him. When he tried to rein in the commentariat, they turned on him, and pretty vi...

Sorry, just trying to understand why I appear to be banned from one thread.....

Yeah, I had a thing for David McCallum, but more as "The Man from UNCLE" rather than Steel. I did like the fact that "Sapphire and Steel" dared to have the heroes being anti heroes. SPOILER FOR STORY TWO At the end of Story Two, the most memorable to me, about a soldier waiting at a station for an e...

Ah yes. The outing is a problem. :( No, no, I cannot go that route. I do not support that kind of thing. Generally, fanfiction is nothing short of irrelevant garbage (in my opinion). Wait - you mean that Harry Potter & Snape (Dildoiamus!) fanfic is not good? It's not art? :mrgreen: Hey, there are a...

For a quick laugh, found this on Tim Roth's Twitter :-

Just popping in to say I may be one of those lurkers. I often pop in to see how things are going and then spend three hours catching up with everything! But I don't always login - or can lsuoma see me as 'someone different'? OK, I'm convinced about franc, it's weird to see him completely from The Ot...

Thank you from me too!

PPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE keep the edit function! Sorry, but I am such a bad typist, and I have a bad habit of typing too slowly for my brain and end up missing important words out. How would you stop 'annoying' lurkers from disliking every single post left her...

Ahh, OK - I think I'll just put the buying of Dawnguard on hold for a while. I mean, it'll be Â£40 I should think on release, so if I give it a while, that'll come down. And as you say, the bugs might be ironed out by then. 5 patches?!?!? I've missed news on at least 3 of them. I'll see if the bf is...

Lsuoma, we can discuss whatever you want, but I'm just not up on many things other than a select little number of games ("Plants vs Zombies" anyone?), so I probably won't have much to contribute. I'm sure others will have though! Many thanks for the info - I have limited time right now as I'm suppos...

I loved Skyrim when it came out, couldn't play enough. But I've now got two profiles I can't finish the game on, due to stuttering (it gets so bad, I think the game has crashed) on the PS3. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a bug patch (if there is one) without linking to the internet e.g. v...

Religious people Mundanes: I disagree with them, but I can have decent conversations with them. Some are my friends. Skepsters: INTELLECTUALLY INFERIOR, MORALLY DEVOID LUNATICS!!! You mean...........I AM allowed to talk to my Bible following friends? I thought I was supposed to cast them off becaus...

Oh cool! But I don't mind reading it, I just don't like to use it myself. Although I might change on that point too, after MKG's posts.

I don't really have a problem with bad language except for that one word. And I recognise that it's personal choice. I choose it. No one else has to. And I like the 'robust' way you all discuss topics - I'm learning a great deal about myself as well as looking at other topics differently. There are ...

Greetings! Secret lurker for many months, have to remain anonymous for work reasons. I nearly got fired because of my manager pulling some really unethical behaviour on me, but woke me up to a) how much you can be spied on at work when on the internet and b) how little they can fire you over for bei...
