You are not a f*cking DJ. You’re an overpaid, untalented, cake-throwing c*nt.

Can you still buy Damiana tea in Ireland or did that get taken out during the final head shop purge? I used to find it nice at the end of an evening for it's slight psychedelic sleep effects.

Never used it as an aphrodisiac (cos I'm so freakin' virile to start with)

I had a mate who'd put that on in the small hours when we'd run out of Tangerine Dream to listen to. great choice.

Yeah I can imagine it would work nicely after the intensity of Tangerine Dream!

I've stuck to the recommended half teaspoon so far. Which is enough for me. I'm only drinking it though. Sounds like you're a fiend for the stuff man! You snorting it or what?

Tell me, for folks round here who'd rate Kit Clayton's Nek Sanalet, what else by him would you recommend? Just for my personal enjoyment while walking. I've had that for ages but never delved further. Thx.

There's apparently 25,000 students protesting up on O'Connell street today, yet the Irish Independent have no mention of it on their website.

This strikes me as a little odd.

Ah I'm sure Alison will be reporting on it this Sunday. "250,000 home owners protest in Cork about decreasing housing values"

I think she'd put a lifestyle spin on it. Some thing about how hard it is to find a cute guy at a protest rally, how much tan is too much when you're getting your picture taken at the rally or cosmos and chaos, can you mix and march?.

He's never gonna live it down is he. I doubt he could go back on air after that?

He had Ireland's only "celebrity" solicitor on the radio this morning defending his honour. Apparently he was off his nut on Solphadine(?). And had a few drinks also.

It's Solpadeine. No H.
People prounouncing it as if it has a h (or an f) actually drives me berserk. One of my many irritances.

Na, he's toast.

To be fair, he may well have taken some Solphadine, and it could have had an effect on him as he'd been drinking for the day. But he took his knob out ffs. On a cramped plane. Best of luck talking your way out of that one.....

Stuff like that bugs the sh1t out of me too. I had, what turned out to be a pretty heated argument with a colleague, over the spelling of cellotape. She was absolutely insistent that it was Sellotope. Sellotape is a fu.cking brand you moron!

Despite sending her various links and emails clearly showing she was wrong, She continued to try and tell people she was right. I lost all respect for her after that.

But, eh, it's spelt Sellotape. Cellotape is a corruption of Sellotape that's just found its way into common usage is it not? So in that instance wouldn't you both be wrong?

No, it's spelt cellotape - because it's cellulose based.

But the name of the company is Sellotape where the name is derived from, much like Hoover is a brand name but has entered common usage as the name of an appliance.

francois

Even worse is the confusion over loose/lose, that particularly gets on my wick

jtsuited

Is it not sticky back plastic if not using the tradename?

Or was it actually called cellotape before the brandname?

I would imagine they changed the c to an s to avoid being so instrument specific. Celiists aren't a big market like.

Sorry, I don't care what the name of the company is. The sh1t you use to stick to stuff is spelt cellotape. End of.

I know the whole hoover/vacum cleaner and biro/pen thing. But that doesn't take away from the fact that people are eroneously using brand names.
