AoWW Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Earlier I was thinking about when I did art history years ago and this popped into my head. Bridget Riley. I had to see an exhibition of her work once. I may as well have been shopping for wrapping paper. I then found out she didn't even paint alot of her work and just dictated it to her students to paint for her. One of the most overrated artists I can think of. Completely agree. Don't get me started on over-rated artists.
Houdini Logic Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 Completely agree. Don't get me started on over-rated artists. Particularly artists who don't even produce their own work!
FuriousFox46 Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 They're not even that nice... There I said it.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 28 February 2012 Posted 28 February 2012 The use of the word "Heatwave" is a gross overestimation too, ive drunk spicier milk.
I am Rod Hull Posted 29 February 2012 Posted 29 February 2012 Spicy crisps and snacks smell like 3 day old man sweat...

FoxesAreBlue Posted 29 February 2012 Posted 29 February 2012 Encona Sauce is, try a bit if chicken swimming around in that stuff. Your next shit will be like brown rain.
Raw Dykes Posted 29 February 2012 Posted 29 February 2012 No mainstream products that claim to be spicy / hot actually are. So true! Don't know why that is, but you're right. Maybe they think making food that is actually spicy will put off some customers, when in actual fact they'd probably sell more if they stopped lying and put something hot in a packet that says "hot" or "spicy" on it.

This is true. I think most consumers like the idea have eating something 'hot', but can't actually take the heat.
Daggers Posted 29 February 2012 Posted 29 February 2012 IT, the internet, email and computers: Far more time is spent pissing about entering data, making 'woosh' sounds in Powerpoint and typing up stuff you copied from another company than used to be spent doing stuff in offices. Email consumes vast swathes of work time and then all those moments when you have been hunting/gathering or reading a book in days gone by. End of the working day? Take your office in a laptop with you so you can carry on with it every weekend. They've assisted banks to rob countries blind, stock markets to crash, millions to starve and every dumbfvck with access to a keyboard to spout his/her shite opinions to the world about bollocks.
Phube Posted 10 March 2012 Posted 10 March 2012 Got this from the library last night for my daughter... seeing as though it's a classic and all. OMG how s**t is this book... it's just rubbish! Maybe I've been spoilt with good children's books for my daughter (Sharing a Shell, Monkey Puzzle, The Gruffalo, Octonauts, Winnie the Witch, Maisy, Meg and Mog, Tiger Who came to tea... etc. etc.). But this book is just awful, the story is lame, the illustrations look like they're from some communist school book from the 1950's, I managed to get 4 pages in before my daughter literally told me to stop reading and took the book from my hands. And she loves books and being read to... How is this a 'Classic'?

And she loves books and being read to... How is this a 'Classic'? Maybe you were reading it wrong? Did you do the voices and jump around a bit? Maybe you should have finished the book, it ony takes about 10 minutes to read. Seeing as most people love this book, it must have been your interpretation of it that bored your daughter to tears, just saying,

My daughter loves my reading... but you can't polish a turd! The midway rant about communism probably did little for her enjoyment. Actually I am trying to keep any of my opinions on religion and politics away from my daughter... allowing her to make up her own mind!

I haven't read WTWTA as an adult but I remember finding the drawings a bit creepy and not really enjoying the story. Meg and Mog on the other hand are a cherished memory so you're clearly getting it right imo.
FrankieADZ Posted 10 March 2012 Posted 10 March 2012 that BBC Breakfast show thats on in the week...on BBC1; cant stand them presenter...old farts
Saxondale Posted 11 April 2012 Author Posted 11 April 2012 Can't be bothered to check the previous 20 pages and see whether he's already been mentioned, but... Keith Lemon. How anybody over the age of 12 finds him funny is beyond me. Certainly not funny enough for all the attention and prime screentime he gets. Suppose he is on ITV, which is hardly a hotbed of genuine entertainment talent.
