I just get bollocks naked and smear myself with Vaseline like Tom Hardy in Bronson, every night at bedtime. Those burglars are in for a loving surprise

Should do that thing where you throw up a bedsheet then hide behind a bush before it falls, see how they react. You normally use a doorframe to hide behind, that might not be practical in the middle of the countryside though.

On Christmas chat by the way, spent a pleasant couple of days with my sister (said pleasantness being helped by the extremely patchy internet at her house, hence my rather intermittent presence), as always arrived with five big carrier bags of presents and left with one tiny one that was only half full. Being both the best-earning person in my family and also the only kidless one (well apart from the kids themselves) is a bit of burden. It really is the thought that counts though, and my Large Adult Nephew really outdid himself by buying me a Kalimba after we'd had a chat about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4we73GHH9k being the purest thing on the internet just after my dog died in the summer, so that got me a bit emotional, and then the first song in the accompanying manual was "You Are My Sunshine", which is the song my mum used to sing to me when I was a kid, and I got even more emotional, and then my brother-in-law dug out the weird honey whiskey and homebrew dark beer and we all got extremely emotional, all in an extremely good way. This will probably sound horribly heartless for those of you who aren't as lucky as I, and it really is I suppose, but hearing about the angst other people have about Christmas makes me all the more grateful for my family because while we differ *massively* on politics and all sorts of other subjects, we all respect each other enough to keep that sort of thing off the table for big family get togethers (and just have screaming rows on Whatsapp about it instead).

goddamnedtwisto posted:Almost every time you post you make me envy you for the things the internet hasn't managed to ingrain into your very soul. Ah well I remember a time before the internet. At work it was 1995 before two senior people in our department were given email and had their secretaries print out and log every email in and out. It was 1997 - I was 37 and it was literally one week before Diana was killed - when I got a computer with a 33kB modem and a TV card (no TV for several years before that - I used to borrow audio books from the library) and an email address which I still have today (along with over 20 others... ) Oh and the pain of downloading a 135mB file overnight and at about 128mB some bastard would phone me up and break the connection.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Have you seen the original West Side Story? How did it compare? It's one of the few musicals I find bearable. My totally official and 100% objective list of musicals to watch for people who don't like musicals: West Side Story (1961) Singin' in the Rain (1952) Cabaret (1972) 8 Women (2002) London Road (2015) Also probably New York New York (1977) even though I've not seen it cos come the gently caress on it's Scorsese doing a loving jazz musical between Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, how can it not be at least weirdly interesting?

Cabaret is great tho. Saw the Sam Mendes production of it with Alan Cumming as the MC and Michelle Williams as Sally a few years ago and it owned

only there are some pure shits out there who you need to watch out for this one time this bloke off his head tried to hijack my car on toll cross in edinburgh, i think, at the very least he wanted into my car by force, i always drive with my doors locked thankfully (ALWAYS DRIVE WITH YOUR DOORS LOCKED) and it was just a sort of altercation at the traffic lights with him banging at my passenger side winda, trying to get in this other time this bloke on the cairnryan to belfast ferry tried to rob my bag both times i just shouted in a high voice WHAT YA DOIN WHAT YA DOIN like that and thankfully nothing more happened but it's better to be prepared imo

The only time I got burgled was when I was in Ottawa and was out for the night . My housemate was in bed, the guy walked into his bedroom, saw my (terrified) housemate, said 'sorry bud, my bad' and then left That's my chilling true crime story

I retired the hammer after finding myself stood at my door naked, clutching the hammer and convinced my loud housemate coming in from work at 3am was someone back to get me.

Jakabite posted:Oh Barry you find everything depressing Not true. I find a great many things profoundly beautiful. But Household Weapon chat should be depressing, because it denotes one of two things; either that a group of explicit leftists are paranoid enough, fearful enough, and have so little faith in their fellow human beings, that they feel they need to arm themselves and be prepared for violence at any moment. Or, worse, that they're right to do so. I don't think 'you may as well have fun' about preparing to hurt or kill someone for stealing your stuff. Perhaps that makes me privileged or naive, I am completely open to those charges. Nevertheless, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

It depends where you live? If the council put you in a tower block with druggies then "nah ain't worth it the're tooled up mate" isn't a bad thing but if you live in a average house on am average street and are tooled up then nah, get decent door chains. I live on a notorious council estate and don't have weapons ready, I have home contents insurance.

If you live in an area with high crime, then making your home look harder to break into than the average home around you will do the trick more often than not.

and coincidentally shortly after i moved to scotland, there was this big hooha about some polises who had gone into a supermarket for to buy their lunches with pistols on their belts and this was a big news story. i mean it's big picture a good thing that GBers are taken aback by something like that but being used to a heavily militarised police force and getting frisked going into shopping centres from no age, it took a bit of doing to comprehend why people were so upset about it
