For 30-somethings and those around that age

[DexM]

*whistles loudly,only to hear the echo reverberate around an empty thread room*

Nobody seems to want to come out and play,so I would like to welcome the night/morning shift,our Austrailian superstars and the other overseas dignitaries.Welcome.

I shall go to bed now.

Ta Ta-Dex.

p.s.this is the sort of random nonsense I come up with when I'm by myself.Yeah,you're right I always come out with random nonsense.I shall leave you with a quote I have been thinking about from a book I'm reading.We have some budding psychologists on this thread,so it may be something for them.

Conscience is the window of our spirit,evil is the curtain.

Oh sorry Dex, I was sleeping in.

That quote sounds like we have a curtain of evil over our conscience which conceals our spirit. So I guess its saying we can't let people see our precious and wonderful spirit because evil thoughts and actions get in the way of how we exercise our conscience? Too deep for me at this present time, I haven't eaten yet.

Now just some housekeeping since you've been awol, we're trying to keep the thread easier to follow by the way we reply to posts. When you're in the reply window, all the previous quotes are wrapped in [ quote ] tags. We're deleting all but the last quote. But if that's too techo don't worry :) just continue as normal.

Now to explain the MSN or Windows Live account: You'll need that to join the chat group Midnight has organized. You look up msn.com and sign up for a Windows Live ID. When you have that, you can add friends, and you can download Windows Live Messenger which is a chat program. When you have program, you log in to the messenger to chat with your msn (windows live) friends.

VERY CONFUSING in my opinion but okay once you finally get it sorted out. Midnight is the expert.

Yes there's AVEN chat too. You just click to get in there I think. And when you leave, if you see a message "DexM has been kicked from the chat room" that's normal I think. It doesn't mean anyone has kicked you out. Say "bananrama" when you go in there and anyone who reads this thread will know you're a 30 something dude.

Hmm, think that's all you missed. Welcome back. Beachy kept your seat warm for you, and your coffee is on the brew. Your slippers are with the newspaper.

The Woman who came up with the quote is the author of the book I'm reading "The Sociopath next door".Her belief and mine also,as it is a subject close to my heart,is that a sociopath doesn't have a conscience.His sole purpose in life is to do everything he can for himself.Wether he is a bullying P.E. teacher getting his kicks out of humiliating the not-so-in-shape shy kid,or the powerfull head of a global multi-billion company,who screws every one over to get to the top,they just don't care about anybody.No guilt,no remorse.Capable of anything and everything.The people in their lives are just their possessions.T own and piss on.They like it.Most people have a conscience,no matter what,they will feel all sorts of compassion,guilt,remorse or grief,multiple times throughout there lives.They have a conscience.They value human life.

The evil pulls the curtain over our conscience?

Wouldn't it be quite amusing to come into the chat room,shout Bananrama and then break into a rendition of "Love in the first degree".

No.O.K.

[DexM]

This I like.That to me is a British camping holiday.Bad weather.Nice sleeping bags(I have also slept in my sleeping bag,whilst in the house)Not a hint of Crocodiles.Just good old fashioned midges.Just a toilet,a sink,no shower as I just paddle in the lake and wash.For me it is having a brew after tea,using your little calor gas stove and feeling the warmth on your face and hearing............................nothing.We should all still live in caves in my opinion.

So would you agree with Karl that some of us are less evolved? :P

I just think that the world would be a little better if we lived in caves,lived off the land,went back to that hunter gatherer lifestyle.I still personally think that man was meant to hunt,to live in smaller gatherings,to be less socially active.It is now considered to be abnormal,not to socialise.People whisper and enquire as to whats wrong.I blame it on the Nescafe bloke going round to his neighbours to ask for sugar,just see he can have his cup a joe.Could you imagine Mr.Neanderthal doing that?No neither could I.

That reminds me of my last job. We used to play it at least once a day!

OUCH that sounds like one hell of a tough job :P

When I worked in the pet shop,we had Kenny G the world famous saxophonist belting out his incendiary extravaganza of music and dance(Thanks going out there to the on-line dictionary).It drove us crackers,until one day,the great Kenny came to a horrific death,as one member of staff,took a screwdriver to his shiny surface.The less said about Kennys replacement the better.

Oh well,looks like I had better throw that demo tape in the bin then.I was dying for Noel Edmonds to introduce me for my spot on Top of the Pops.And I wouldn't have mimed either.

By the way,that really is one kick arse Avatar.Very Manga like.

Better the devil you know?

I've never used the content feature, but if it's a problem for some, I have no objection to switching the thread. The new name sounds good.

[CompassRose]

@DexM - thanks for explaining about the adamantium, you've restored my faith. I might have been confused into thinking you were stretching the truth a bit, but now I know it was just my ignorance. :P

[CompassRose]

Naturally, we would only send you to an AVEN approved tree doctor! Trained in appropriate trimming of asexual trees into non-suggestive shapes. ;)

[CompassRose]

The Anus/artist is currently belting/killing out a song from his male voice choir repertoire.I shit you not,I am sitting here with my headphones on,with nothing actually coming through,it is THAT BAD.He may have had something 5 years ago,but whatever it was has most certainly gone.The choir used to be one of the best in the country,so they said,packing out The Royal Albert Hall and doing regular concerts.Now they barely fill church halls every 4 months.To be honest if that is the output I can see why.

This has gone completely over my head. I have no idea what you are referring to.

[Lucinda]

I watched some clips on YouTube of Rod Stewart in concert at The Royal Albert Hall ... I wish I could have been there. :)

So the anus/artist used to be famous?? That makes you the son of famous anus artist. No wonder you are naturally a legend. ^_^

Start a new thread and they will come. Also, I wouldn't mind a Heavy Banarama thread for non-lighthearted discussions ... to keep those topics out of Cafe Chatter. I personally took a pass at the McDonald's mess, but wouldn't mind hearing about SM's cases. Whatever is decided, I love the irony that the longest running and most popular thread in the Oldies Aces section was started, maintained, and axed by a Foxy Foxual. :)

[Midnight Lady]

Fever continues to persist. That sucks.

@Dex: Yeah, I would say that the fact that that diet was a protein-low one did play a role, and it allowed the virus to penetrate my body quite easily. But... oh well! Now it is too late to regret about the past...

For the thread destiny, I will go with the majority!

@Compass: how is your figuring out about the messenger going? :)

I am trying to leave my MSN open, so that people could see it online at least, even if not me (like now, for example)... :)

Hehe ;)

Lucinda that's a great idea to have a heavy thread and a light thread! I like that! So what would we call the heavy one? I like your suggestion "Heavy Bananarama" its so cool. The subtitle could be something like 'because sometimes you need more than a cappucino' :lol:

This would be a lovely addition to Heavy Bananarama. I will hold off further comment till we get our threads sorted. I'm just in process of discussing a few things with our mod. Sounds like most of us are cool with a change of address. What do you all think of Lucinda's idea about a heavy thread and a light thtead?

[Lady Girl]

It's a cool idea! :)

[CompassRose]

I like the dual thread idea, and I even like the name heavy bananarama, but the subtitle should be careful to be pretty descriptive, or it could lead to mass confusion.

Good point.

And where should we house these threads do you think? In Olders or in Off A? Any thoughts?

Old post.

We could house it in the meet up mart or hot box because then it would be hidden from public view and google searches :)

Tea and Sympathy also appears to be hidden to logged-out users--and could be a good place for a thread dealing with "heavy shit." (That's a technical term.)

No,actually I think it was one of those Moods c.d.'s ;)

Ah I can see that anyone who isn't aware of the dis-like I have towards the man formally known as Dad,may struggle in understanding that post.Yeah I am aware that most of my posts have a certain sense of non-sensicalness ()but believe it or not,that was one of my more normal postings.Anyway,the Anus/artist was a name that Sweet.G.Ex and i came up with in order to refer to our papa's.Me the artist,sweety the Anus.Now I would like to say that Sweetex doesn't actually refer to him like that,as she is a good person,where as I rant about my old man regularly.Getting there,don't worry.He sings for a male voice choir.He USED to be good.They USED to be good.They USED to play nice venues(The Royal Albert Hall)in front of packed crowds.But now,he isn't very good,they aren't very good,they don't play in nice venues in front of packed crowds and his singing resembles that of one of those really bad X-Factor contestants in the prelim rounds that the whole world just laughs at and that person thinks they are Pavarotti.

[DexM]

Dexm hello, big bear hug too ya :)

Hello you :) I shall put my big long vulture like wingspan arms around you and give a big old hug.

I love it when Lucinda comes on,as she always gives Dex a nice compliment.Thanks Lucinda

Mother dearest is a big Rod Stewart fan.But no where near as big as Elvis.

So what is going on with this thread moving around talk.I don't really know how things work around here.Usually I would just not bother getting involved with anything,but this thread is important to little Dexy.And I am curious about what the McDonalds mess is.

And speaking of HeavyBananarama.The company who were behind them as a group,as well as a few other "classic" 80's acts(Rick Astley anyone)are putting them back together for a summer reunion tour.Mint.There was a picture of them in the paper,how they looked then and how they look now and I do feel awfull for saying this,but the picture of them now,well lets just say HeavyBananarama is most apt.
