• Hello!

Poll:

• No, drugs are bad! iamcal provides all the buzz I need!
• Not my thing, but I don't mind others doing it.
• I only smoke cannabis socially; there's nothing wrong it with.
• Yes, I like to smoke cannabis for recreation.
• I partake of another class C
• Urrrm, class B
• Cla-... um, maybe you shouldn't ask.

Questions, comments?

ugh, "wrong with it." not "wrong it with." Bet you can't guess what I've had too much of. *slaps forhead*

People that 'use' deserve to die horribly in a stinking hole with no friends and their own, neglected, starving, dead baby next to them. They are all stupid.

That really depends upon what you mean by "use".

Absolutely nothing wrong with Mary Jane.

Anything else, well, I guess it's okay as long as it's in moderation. Note that moderation may mean "not at all" for really harsh stuff. I mean, in my opinion, using PCP in moderation generally involves not taking the damn stuff. But hey, I'm not going to condemn anyone for taking anything they want.

Something tells me I'm going to be disagreed with on this one.

I agree with you on this one Grim...
Drugs are bad mmmkay

I think it depends on what you mean by "drugs"...

Nicotine, Alcohol and all Illegal Drugs.

Medicinal Drugs are a different matter. (I would include cannabis as a good thing when used for true medicinal purposes)

PS on the medicine side of things I have never even taken so much as an asprin. just lucky I guess.

Yeah, I mean, in theory they're bad, in that they can cause you harm, but so can lots of things.. I mean, sharp knives used in moderation are probably more dangerous than alcohol used in moderation.. if you have a glass of wine each day, it's probably less likely to cause injury than if you cut up an onion each day. Same applies for other drugs. Obviously, smokin' crack is a bit more dangerous than making a cup of tea. It all depends on the risks you're prepared to take.

Okay, so there is a bit of a problem when you get people who harm other people due to their taking drugs. Like if you steal off your sick ailing grandmother to feed a heroin addiction. Sure. But I don't think that means you can rule out all illegal drugs, cause quite a lot of them aren't addictive in the same way, and the only person you really run a risk of damaging is yourself.

Even stuff like Acid and E-pills, you're only really going to damage yourself if you abuse these, and they're still generally a bit safer than smokin' 20 B&H a day...

I'm sure there'll be plenty of FACTS to prove me wrong.

i don't even smoke or drink. i don't really have much caffiene either. but i'm using topical anitbiotics for my ear. not sure if that counts

good good mr cal. actually I don think I have had a drink since I came home from uni in May, and you know I could quite happily never drink again. and I dont smoke either.

Uncle Moc: "Even stuff like Acid and E-pills, you're only really going to damage yourself if you abuse these"

True True, but what if...you colapse and they have to call an ambulance, which could have gone to a more "deserving" call, and then in hospital you take up a bed, and nurses and doctors time that should be spent on someone else. :)

(note the "you" in my statement is a hypothetical peorson, I wasnt suggesting you would take them!)

I guess, but there aren't a great amount of cases of people collapsing due to taking Acid or E-pills. There are some, that's true. But for that reason you could claim that people who do other dangerous stuff, like juggle knives, shouldn't be allowed to in case they injure themselves and take up ambulance and hospital time.

Okay, I think almost everyone here would agree that knife jugglers are pretty stupid, but I wouldn't want to say "You are not allowed to juggle knives", or worse still make knives illegal.

:) If knives were illigal we would have to eat like americans with just a fork. mind you those nasty prongs (tines?) could cause a problem maybe forks should be corked like in dirty rotten scoundrels.

Actually you are right there is something to be said for allowing tablets etc in clubs. I know that in holland you can have your e's tested for purity, without being arrested. it is acively encourgaed. Much better to be open about it, probably safer than in Britain when you dont know exactly what you are taking.

And if a knife juggler accidentally drops a knife and cuts of your legs off dont come running to me :) boom boom

I like the idea of a protest march through london by knife enthusiasts! :)

Yeah, if I was to take E-Pills (and I haven't, so far) then I would want a nice E-Pill that I knew was only going to do the stuff that E-Pills are supposed to do and not the stuff that the Daily Mail writes these dire warnings about.

They're a minority group, are knife entheusiasts. I wonder if they have a trade union?

I dont take any drugs. I used to smoke pot when I was younger but i don't even do that now. I don't drink, but I do smoke a packet of fags a day.

I used to live in a pub with my boyfriend who worked there, and it opens your eyes to a very different way of living. These people would snort coke and drop trips and eat pills like it was all a big joke. It would turn these poeple into freaks. They would fight and collapse and sell to the youngsters that would come in to the pub. Theres fuck all you can do about it. you can try and stop these people, but they are so thick that they just don't recognise that drugs are destroying them and the people around them. The police know its all going on, but they are in on it all too! I live in a scummy area anyway, as you can tell, but i think drugs are everywhere. People are always going to get involved with them. I think its a culture thing.
My friend who went to uni had a nervous brakedown coz she smoke too much puff. I mean she smoked way too much gear. She got into debt and lost her place on the course.
In my opinion drugs are crap. And they ruin your life.

"but i think drugs are everywhere"

Not where I live thank god. dont think any of my friends have taken any drugs. Just a different way of life here in the countryside!! obviously too busy fox hunting to take drugs. ;)

I would love to live in a place where there was no drugs. Honestly - you are very lucky. SO many people i know have died through drug over doses, or have been locked up. ( either going in sane or because they were caught selling). Its very sad, coz many of them have kids and are genuinely nice people, when they are not out of their heads.

I hate living around these people. But its happening in most cities, i reckon.

Rosie: I'm really sorry ot hear that. I can only imagine what it must be like.

I'm sure it does happen in most towns and cities.

My suggestion is that you leave it all behind as soon as possible and move to the countryside.
I left my car unlocked last night, and we leave our house door unlocked most of the time. its wonderful.

Of course it depends on jobs and stuff I suppose.

Yeah, if I was to take E-Pills (and I haven't, so far) then I would want a nice E-Pill that I knew was only going to do the stuff that E-Pills are supposed to do...

E-pills? Are they some sort of Cyber Drug?

YOU LEAVE YOUR DOOR UNLOCKED! ARE YOU MAD?

Bloody hell. I can't believe that! :-0

don't you get scared that someones going to come and rob you or hurt you?
We had to scare someone off our roof last week with a chair leg! Although theres nothing in house to nick!

I was going to move to France a couple of years ago, but I have a good job and my family are here.

I didnt mean to leave my car unlcoked, but nothing happened to it!

Tend to leave the door unlocked if we are out in the garden or in the house.

Definitly don't get scared about people coming to hurt/rob me!!! I have never even considered it! I feel very very secure in my village.

Yes I guess a job does tie you down.

The most disgusting thing I've seen is someone snorting coke off a dirty car bonnet.

Yuk!

It was quite funny coz the very end of her nose was black with dirt and she had a little white 'tash below her hooter! UUURRGGGGG!

Does everyone think I am a scumbag now?

:) no, everyone sympathises with you cos where you live is full of scumbags.

Phew!!!!
Whenever you tell anyone that you live in Staines, they automatically think you are a pikey. ( or they rattle on about bloody Ali G)
There are actually people I know who are like Ali G - you know, tracksuits and smoking gear and all that! Honestly!

Oh dear god, remind me never to come there. :)
Grrr I hate Pikeys (i was at Uni in Middlesbrough last year, the place is full of little oiks who skive school and hang around taking drugs, wearing adidas tracksuits and generally pissing everybody off.) and most of them are under 12

I drink rarely and when I do it is a beer or a nice cranberry w/ vodka or southern comfort.

I don't smoke. Every one in my family smokes and I just hate it. I am also seeing someone who smokes, but they have enough respect not to smoke around me. They even talked about quitting, which impressed me a lot.

I only did wacky weed once and it made me sick, so I never touched the stuff after that. My sisters were into it, but never me.

Oh dear. I'm afraid to say that I do drink; (am partial to a nice pint of bitter or whiskey); do smoke (drum mild, blue rizla, filter tips) and and have been known to smoke mary jane now and again..

Have tried other stuff, but I wouldn't like to make a habit out of it..

I'd like to think I'm completely in control, though.. which is why I reckon anything in moderation is okay.. obviously if you're going to take loads and loads of any drug, that's going to mess you up..

i got addicted to smarties - does that count?

Well, you shouldn't really be buying Nestle products...

I am addicted to arguing with everyone on here just for the sake of it. Help me! I need therapy! Aggrivated Anonymous here I come

I kinda got a thing about man made drugs, speed and pills and the like, leave em well alone, a friend of mine at school is now known as 'Twichy Ritch' due to a heavy dose of 'E'.

MJ once in a while is nice treat for MonkeyArmada along with a nice pint of Beer(6X or Tiger).
I am definatly pro choice on drugs though - if you wanna waste your life on smack then yeah its your own choice.

but if you wanna steal from me to feed your crack habit then you should forfeit your right to freedom. Lockem up and throw away the key :)

Yeah, damn crack fiends! They deserve punishment, not rehab! That'll teach them to get a real job!

sure, thats the way it should be, but you can't tar everyone with the same brush. If you wanna smoke a little weed and fall asleep in front of the TV why should you be grouped in with the crackhead robbers who kill people for their mobile phones, ok, you are both financing the dealers supplying the stuff but thats where it ends, you both walk sperate paths.

Intresting thing that only two types of people are called 'users', ppl who take drugs and ppl who use computers.

i prefer to use the term "cattle" for computer users

'Fools' is another term, I am a fool.
I read somwhere that you should use a high factor sun cream if you use a VDU for long periods of time...
I got 2x21 inchers sitting on my desk and a lovely tan.

Well, maybe you can only really do one...

Looking at the results of this poll, it's rare to find a computer user who actally takes that many drugs..

Blatantly there's a distinction between someone who smokes mary jane and a crack fiend. My last post was a bit unreasonable.

2x21 inches here two. i have a lovely phosphor tan

*jealous* I've got 2x15", one of which is an LCD monitor.

"I feel very very secure in my village."

So did everyone in Soham. Also go read about the lovers lane murders (tho admittedly a few years ago)

Yes but the houses in my village are way to expensive for murderers to buy.

Plus my village is way smaller than that. we are talking about 190 people. ALL of whom I know.

We have street parties and big village events, for local people, whats all this? we'll have no trouble here.

Besides I dont go wandering about the streets, and I dont support Man U. so I still feel very safe.

You can't go around feeling insecure cause someone went and killed some kids. It could happen anywhere. That doesn't mean you should fret about it. If you go around expecting people to kill kids all the time, you'll go crazy and then end up killing kids yourself.

Don't know how many inches this monitor is. But it sure as hell screws with my eyes after 8½ hours at work.

8.5 hours? pah!

anything less than ten hours in front of a monitor is just 'casual' usage ;)

Well, it's certainly put me off computers when I get home..

When I was unemployed, I used to while away quite a while online.. these days, apart from being at work, I steer clear of computers..

I think my glasses need new batteries...

Get a 20 Inch Monitor ... Good for the eyes.

I also wear glasses when I am in front of the computer.

Matt: Not saying everyone should fly into a panic, just pointing out that saying "it'll never happen to me, my village is safe" is way naive.

drugs not hugs

I hold down a job and regularly partake in spliffage and occaisionally some speed. I know when to stop though and I'd never do heroin on shrooms

"it'll never happen to me, my village is safe, is way naive."

I never said that. I said I FEEL SAFE IN MY VILLAGE. No statistics can stop ME from feeling safe. I feel safe. If people feel the need to tell me how unsafe I am it can presumably only be to make themselves feel better about the dangerous places they live. Out of some sort of envy I guess.

and to be super pedantic its Naïve not Naive

No, it's true. I feel safe in St. Albans. Doesn't mean there's no drug fiends about.

i feel safe in the office. mmmmm

Drinko mucho wino. You can take my life but you'll never take my burgandy.

Smoking weed is wondeful. Some people have to addictive a personality though. I smoked all the way through uni (sometimes instead of actually) and managed a good degree from a top institution.
Now I'm working I smoke only every few months and then not in the binge quantities I used to partake of. The thing is it doesnt affect you that much. Sure you cant drive afterwards, programme a video or remember why your in the kitchen but it does not have the same effects as chowing down on a nice big pipe full of crack.

Common sense and moderation.

BADGER

BADGER

If you have to rob the blind to get money to buy drugs, then there's no way you can have cats at the same time. I mean, it's okay having cats, even small tiny ones, but it doesn't mix with robbing the blind. Ahhh! Duncan!

I don't drink or smoke or do drugs. But I am addicted to caffiene. I get plenty of caffiene from soft drinks.

it with ... hehe

I also like fluffy kittens.

badger

Uh Oh... you and reddy are ok aren't you chay?

probably

and badgers, don't forget badgers.

badgers

Badger Badger Badger Badger!

Maybe you should be discussing this with her and not us? I mean if I was her, even if I was in the wrong, I'd be pretty peeved after reading this.

(Didn't see Vic's post before I posted that!)

yeah you are right. :( it's just she is at work and i really wanted to talk to someone about it and i didnt know where else to go.

sorry
:(

He's gone to bed now :S

I wasn't having a go Chay! Just saying that if you want her to see that she's upset you then its probably best not to discuss it in public where she'll see it and instead talk to her. Do something to take your mind off it until she gets back from work, like read, or draw.

nah i'll just lay in bed and fail to sleep whilst thinking about it until my brain implodes.

that usually helps.

BADGER
:)

BADGER- I'll post you a picture of my new kitten Big Nose to cheer you up.

:D

excellent idea

%^&£^&£^%*£&($&*"£%

New Kitten!! Rosie, can we all see or do we have to be sad to see it? If that's the case then, uh, I'm really really sad :(

I am sad also. (although i'd prefer to see the puppies)

I'm having a kitten photo session on Thursday (as I have the day off!) so I'll post some on Monday.

He is so, so gorgeous. I got him on Saturday and I can't stop hugging him! We don't actually know if it is a boy - so we may have a shed load of kittens sooner or later. I'll take orders early from you lot if your interested!

:)

Till and bed!

we could have another round of "i've got stamps" and the first ppl to reply get a kitten sent to 'em!

(as in, Till Lindemann, lead singer of Rammstein who likes to set himself on fire now and again, and bed, as in the refuge for the tired.)

Oh new kitten, Rosie, how sweet. I have a little puppy called Nala who is such a sweetie, I'll post a pic, just as soon as my mate Moses gives me his camera to borrow

Hey Doctor - you wanna kitten?

what breed is she/he friday?

Rosie - Ive got stamps??

Nala is what we call a heinz 57

when I've got some stamps on my desk I post things to the first people who give me their addresses.

Last time I think Sul got a used nail file and Vic got a chewing gum.

That sounds cool

I can't have a cat. Sorry.

thats the exchange rate you see, 1 copy of 'Vics legendary 80's CD' = a chewing gum.


;)

Ok, ok.

I'm going to the shop nxt door to get some stamps. First ppl to mail me their address get a suprise in the post tonight.

email me at rslark@yahoo.co.uk

PS: for the ppl that have already mailed me their addresses before - i've deleted them - so send 'em again if your interested.


:D

Right - i'm off to get the stamps and 40 b&h- get mailing me!

no one wants my stuff....
:*(

I mailed you baby!

and i sent you the amusing badger and american pop idol links.

I've sent you a couple of prizes...

:)

The postman does not come tonight though :(

I've put a couple in the post. Can't do anymore coz the postman is due any minute!

:D

PS: They are shit!

:)

SO does that mean I should be glad I never gave you my address?

NO! My prizes are good.


Sort of.

But you just said they were shit, I think someone is telling porkies :)

Well they are shit - but they are good and shit.

I'm off in 3 minutes. Horrah!

See you later..

:)

foxy-wombat

i now have a piece of paper on my monitor that says "DON'T POST ON IAMCAL WHEN TIRED AND UPSET"

i should have put that up months ago.

just to let you all know it wont happen again :)

(note on an unrelated subject arsepuppy might like to have a similar note with "DRUNK" instead of "TIRED AND UPSET")

NOTE2: AOK in Chayville now.

Glad your feeling better today chay.

:)

Got my prizes, cheers rosie!

:)

Yay!

*That button is off my jacket, so I may need it back at some stage* ;)

?!?

Are you challenging me to some fisticuffs? :)

No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir.

are you a big baby?

Me?

Or is the world just a big advert for Pampers??

AP - David Blaine is a big advert for Pampers

Chandler appears to be Dobby

as in dobby the house elf?
cheers, thanks a lot :)

Dobby the house elf? WTF?

Dobby was a horse wasn't he? I thought the elf had a slightly different name

Oh crap I'm thinking of Dobbin, damn sorry

i dont know what it was called. some harry potter thing. im probably confused

www.devils-snare.org/dobby/

that little thing. so lets hope she was talking about something else, or i might get offended

Yeah that thing is shit it should be killed

Or at least put in that box with david Blain

Dobby the house elf went to france?

chandler, 20:05 09 September 2003 :
No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir.

this reminded me of Dobby in the Harry Potter 2 film because he always punishes himself, like ironing his own hands etc

I think it's from Shakespeare, no? When Mercutio's cussing someone bad. Can't imagine the House Elvis (aka. Black Slaves) biting their thumbs. Or they might deflate their light hot air head.

(it was Sampson from the House of Capulet - page 1 of Romeo and Juliet)

biting your thumb at someone is where you put your thumb behind your top front teeth and flick your teeth i think.

was considered an insult like giving them the finger and calling their mother something rude.

/thus endeth the lesson

tsk tsk the youth of today, harry potter eclipsing the bard. i dont know.

*shakes head*
;)

get out, you're bard!

I thought it was Romeo and juliet or much ado about nothing, they got mixed in my head at school when we read both of them

Ho ho!

Yeah, one's a comedy and the other one's a tragedy.. but on the other hand, Much ado about nothing does include "Don John the Bastard".

Also did you know "nothing" in the title of Much Ado about is actually a shakepeare cheeky pun about .. um, the female parts?

Oh, that Shakespeare, he crack me up!

I did not mean like that, I just have the quote mixed up, and romeo and juliet is very funny, two people killing them selves so they can live forever in Hell for committing suicide away from each other, what a honey moon

reinterpreting the classics with baergd.

thats a worse spelling then jlittle did there vic

really?

yeah only just though, he got the a and the e the right way round and missed the o

:)

I knew it was Romeo and Juliet but I prefer Harry Potter anyday :-P

Reinterpreting irony with bairgott?
