Barcelona or the Bag
Metropolitangst
The Last Days of Compact Discs, Oh!Damn, I wish he'd made more than three films. :)

Cracker: Another Capital Idea..., in reply to Kumara Republic,
Are these kids old money types, new money or both?
I'm now imagining the reality show version of a Whit Stillman film.

I just don’t think too much about money
Isn't that a key sign of well-offness? Not having to think about it. The difference in my mental outlook from 'oh my god, if we spend that $20 the mortgage payment will bounce' to 'huh, does the mortgage payment come out this week or next week? Can't remember' is very, VERY striking to me. It's one of the most improved things about my life in the last few years, because I'm so much less stressed out. (I am, um, not very good with money.)

"safety and amenity"
Well, that's certainly a classic bit of doublespeak.

Who was characterising anyone?
My post wasn't aimed at you. I'm frankly too scared to aim any post at you in case you tell me to STFU for my impertinence. ;)

Almost as appealing - and useful - as those "I don't have a television set" conversations.
+1, my friend. + goddamn 1.

How about this: I once had a fantastic evening watching - gasp! - boxing with a bunch of drunk/high and delightfully hilarious dudes in a double-wide trailer. Have at it, all you smug judgers. Just how much of a moronic boofhead am I?
(Yeah, I find these sorts of stereotypical characterisations of which sorts of people watch sports and just how awful they are REAL fucking tiresome, in case you hadn't noticed.)

You’ll be going to gigs like last time though, eh?
I do not believe 'Pixies in the Powerstation on my due date' can ever be topped on my part for sheer rock and roll dedication. I have tickets to John Waters in November, though!

Wait. Are you saying that you don't like rugby? Your point is being far too subtlely made, Islander. ;)

Field Theory: 65 bottles of beer on the wall..., in reply to Russell Brown,
I am not a Debbie Downer about rugby. Unlike, apparently, 75% of the people I know. It gets wearying.
Fiji vs Samoa is pretty much perfect
Reading this thread I've also decided that yeah, that *would* be cool. But looking at the date, it's also heading into Giant Pregnant Lady territory, where I'm not actually that keen on hanging out in big sports crowds or walking up steep flights of steps. Will someone feed me some braised meat in an armchair instead? :)
