Quote: Rayanne Graff, Aug 2014Quote: the doc, Aug 2014I'm listening to Blind Lemon Jefferson for the first time in a f*cking age, and Jamie is showing up online.....spooky
Jamie was here yesterday as well, so perhaps that's what made you listen to Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Smart a*se
(Thanks very much for the card and the biscuits, btw - absolutely delicious. I meant to PM you but with everything else that's been going on it kinda slipped my mind)
It's all right.

Re: page 8 thank you, ladies 
I've taken my head for a shake since then and remembered that just getting on with stuff is one of the best ways to feel less like a three legged cart horse pulling a trailer of well rotted manure.
(and the fact that I can now see my bedroom floor and.walls,.rather than one being covered in general Sh*te, and the other lined with all the dresses I'd failed to put away makes dragging my Butt out of bed that much easier)
Shall be busying myself with woodwork and actually going to the gym today. Hopefully. Though I get the feeling that despite having given out money for fuel with the express intention that it is to be used for driving me up there, I'm unlikely to get a lift

Oh... Right. Turns out I forgot to take my meds three days running. That might explain the beeping ARRAARRRGHHRARRGHH brain

I thought we went to 42s after Iron and Wine? Marton was there. And Emma was smoking.....after Biffy we all got sh*tfaced on Strongbow and did Singstar at the flat and kept Alice up all night, I think. Fee was at that one too, don't remember her coming to Iron and Wine. And the Gutter Twins was just me, Ania and George, I think. I was driving that night so I was sober

I had forgotten about Food Club but then I was looking through old PMs and saw a reference to it and was like "ohhhhhhhhhh I remember food club!"
They were the days.
Did you come to see the Wildhearts with me, Emma and Gary? That was around about that time. I was f*cking deaf when I came out of that gig.
No, I'm pretty sure I've never seen The Wildhearts :-(
I saw Iron & Wine, The Gutter Twins and...Biffy Clyro with you!
Biffy! That was it. Was totally wrecked and got asked to do a station ident vy some radio lass - "Hi. I'm the Doc, and I'm getting some Biffy on with Xfm Manchester....."The Academy was in bits so if you wanted a p*ss there were loads of portable ones outside, that was that night, wasn't it?
Gutter Twins was a brilliant show. Sh*tting hell man, it's f*cking donkeys years ago, that. 2008, I think. F*ck.
Yep! I remember the portaloos. That might have been the first gig I ever really went to.
The Gutter Twins were amazing, such presence. I remember them stopping the show to threaten people filming.
I had forgotten the portaloos!! I dunno how though, they were memorable. Then we went to 42s after, there's a photo of me holding 3 bottles of Desperados from that night...
What a night! That definitely wasn't my first time in 42s.

Have you read Bad Science by Ben Goldacre? It contains a really insightful chapter analyzing the whole issue and dissecting the wrongheadedness of it all. I've forgotten a lot of what I read though, I've had it installed on my Kindle for a second reading for ages. I really should get around to it
Quote: Carpet Remnant, Aug 2014Quote: Cooder, Aug 2014Quote: Tiggs, Aug 2014Quote: Cooder, Aug 2014Quote: Bouncebackability, Aug 2014What variety of anti-vaxxers did you encounter?
Sorry, pet hate.
My father-in-laws next door neighbour, her son is severely autistic and she is rabidly fanatical about vaccines causing, despite having no evidence. She's a f*cking lunatic.
Problem is my Mrs is on the hippy side of things and lends some of the stuff credence when it doesn't deserve it...
I'm fairly sure the autism link was disproved and the doctor behind it lost his license for falsifying his findings? There is literally no link to it.
I hate anti-vax people
Yep, he was a f*cking scam merchant, sickening that people still believe it all.
It's astonishing to me that people continue to believe all this despite the none-evidence that existed being thoroughly disproven.
He wrote up 12 case studies and claimed because some kids with autism had had the MMR it caused it
Took blood samples without permission for kids at his sons birthday party
Had a patent for a measles-only vaccine

Quote: Bouncebackability, Aug 2014
I think a lot of parents with children who have Autism latch on to the MMR theory because signs of Autism begin to emerge at around the age the child receives the vaccination...That's purely because the child isn't reaching the social and communication milestones they should be for that age and prior to that the parent may not have noticed anything 'different' about their child.
I work with children with varying diagnoses and quite often the parent will have a strange theory as to why their child is that way. Many of these theories have no evidence whatsoever to support them...But people like to have a reason, they want to know WHY their child is different. They desperately want to find something that means they are not to blame (when of course they never were). It is sad. I think they think if they can find a reason for why it happened then they will find a cure

My Dad has 2 autistic children out of 5 of us, we were all vaccinated. His opinion is "autism causes autism. some kids will be autistic, some kids won't, it's just what fate hands to you, and you deal with it"

I think we all feel that way about some things in the past. I know you can pull through though, you're more than strong enough having had your fair share of these experiences. Sharon sounds like a drain though 
Marry me?
Thanks
As withering looks don't translate well online, I have just decided to ignore her for a bit.
I have this horrible feeling that I'm the protagonist in a sh*tty novel - either a Choose Your Own Adventure (turn to p.38 to see your group's fate: hint, everybody dies), or a tragedy. I have no hope any more. 2014, you broke me.

I used to work as a gardener
(killed the entire lawn at the place i was working at, blamed it on a hot summer, then reaped the praise for rescuing it back to greenness, when all I did was wait for it to grow back again)
Aren't we supposed to AT LEAST get some hot gardeners? AT LEAST?!!
