  2. I stopped reading On the Road half way through on account of all the main characters being arseholes that I didn't much care for. May go back to it one day, I was probably in a bad mood that week.

    I hear what your saying, the charecters are snobby and a bit arsey. The fact that these events really happened got me through the book however, if it was some random story then aye I guess I would have put it down.

    Also... Hunter S Thompson's (Fear and loathing in Las Vegas) books are good are kinda intertwine with the whole ethos of on the road.

  3. I've never read "Big Sur" but "On the Road" was better than I expected.

    As per your recommendation, I'm reading the Wind-up Bird Chronicle. Really good so far, I'm only 100 pages in!

    We have similar taste in books?

    On the Road was excellent. I found some other books with Dean Moriarty (Cassidy), try reading, 'The Electric Kool Aid acid test', for me this book shows how America moved from the beatnik generation to the Hippy era thanks in part to a bunch of maniacs in a magic bus, driven by Cassidy!

    Yoga, for people who can;t be bothered doing it is quite funny too.

  4. Far to annoying to navigate.. was looking for all the photos but gave up looking as I kept on getting the tree on the dramatic-yet-sombre landscape single photo... unless of course that is the only print available?

    I'm not having a dig, just trying to get you inside the mind of a customer. I pressed 'ALL' and still only got that one photo.

  5. .....all of a sudden I'm tempted to let all my veggies rot, march down on Friday AS HE SIGNS PERFUME and throw them at him in disgust while shouting a various range of absue.

    "MYSTERIOUS GIRL?

    /rotten tomato explodes off his chin

    "JORDAN?"

    /cucumber bounces off his nostrils

    "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU???"

    /he falls to the floor crying while carrotts, turnips and whatever else is left all gets thrown.

    Aghhhh, he is just the worst Human ever. I mean, Hitler, okay he had a point, tried his best but ultimately he was a cunt, Manson, Potts, West, all had issues but they didn't make Mysterious Girl... Thatcher, Blair, Bush, sure who doesn't make the odd mistake here and there. But Peter fucking Andre. That fuck is just a cunt, a glich in the matrix, the tip of everything shit in Britain, he's rich because scum love him. It's like being a Defence Lawyer for all of the above names.

    Wow I feel better. try it.

  6. get lost - there are MANY reasons he would have given a shit, and his thinking that 'homosexual acts are morally wrong' was probably not one of them. Mainly because that's a completely batshit insane thing to think, but that's another argument.

    I'm not going to pretend I know what it felt like to be so scared of family and friends finding out about my sexuality that I felt that killing myself would be the only option, but I was terrified before telling my family and I can understand why children of parents who may be utterly homophobic and close-minded would have that fear spiral out of control. To them it's almost like they can't see past the reaction of their family or the bullying they recieve at school or university because it completely suffocates them. They don't realise that they will have their own life after school and it can get much better for them. So while it shouldn't be a life-ending thing to happen to someone, it can deifnitely feel like it.

    Well said. I guess in some way it is the end of one life and the start of another when coming out. It must take guts to end one person and become the other.
