My bosses PA comes up to use today, saying that she’s got loads of salad and that if I want to help myself to some for my lunch then go ahead – I look inside and its Tuna salad. So I say, I can’t its got fish in and I’m vegetarian… the dialogue goes something like this…

PA: Yeah but vegetarians can eat fish.
Me: No they can’t
PA: Yes, they can. I know plenty of vegetarians that eat fish, me included.
Me: They aren’t vegetarians
PA: Yes they are.
Me: No they’re not, vegetarians can’t eat fish.
PA: Don’t be stupid of course they can.
Me: No! I don’t care what you call yourselves but you aren’t vegetarians
PA: But fish is a good source of protein, you should eat some its good for you.
Me: Beef steak is a good source of protein but I ain’t going to eat any because I’m a vegetarian…

I can’t believe how many times I’ve had this conversation with apparently sane and intelligent people, I’m not ranting about the merits or benefits or ethics of being vegetarian just ranting that people think a vegetarian can eat fish, and worst some of these people actually consider themselves vegetarians and they eat animal flesh… what’s that about – convenience of labelling or veggie cool or summink…

For the record I’m a reformed meat eater, went veggie for non-ethical reasons for a few years, got lured into eating meat again, then went veggie about one year ago for ethical reasons – I know that I will never eat meat again.

oh, i´ve had this problem everyday i think for the last year´s.
i´m a vegan my self now a days and there are lot´s of people who keep´s complaining that i should eat this and that... don´t they think i know what i should eat and not ? don´t they think i know what best/right and how i should eat to feel fine and healthy.
it´s not like i got to be a vegan over a night...

meat eaters are so naiv now day´s... we vegetarian´s and vegans know what to eat, really.

and grobelaar... you are soo right. a "vegetarian" who eat´s Fish ain´t a real vegetarian... and most of the fish eaters eat Gelatin to.

it´s good to do some reseach. before eating like a vegetarian and call your self a vegetarian... can often be missunderstod easly.

cheers

Yeah, I've had to start putting all my toothpaste, bogroll and nice olive oil in my room - cos it just gets caned by my housemates. A couple of my housemates don't earn very much and I don't mind a bit - but my stuff was just getting totally eaten and used and not even an attempt to buy replacements. Its one thing to have a bit of someone's sugar or tea - but if you've just polished of a £8 bottle of Olive Oil its time to say 'hey I've got an Olive Oil habit and its about time I bought my own'

I'm very close to writing a very terse and sarcastic note at my house at the moment. But in general I have a rule in shared house - you don't finish anything and you don't open anything. For this its not even the money - its the inconvenience - you get home late at night, you just fancy that last bit of something you've got in the fridge, the takeaways are closed and you're starving and some fuckers eaten it - grrrrr.

Then there's the pleasure of opening a treat, only to find some fuckers got there before you.

raagh raaargh raaaargh this is very therapeutic...

I hate the fact that my dad smokes in his room. I smoke cigs but I do it outside. my dad does as well but when he is too lazy to go outside he does it in his room. then the whole house smells. and my mom has allergies and asthma. so I think it is only cordial that he doesn't smoke inside. that and one day he is going to fall asleep with a cig in his mouth and burn down the whole house. with all my records and such. then I'll kick his ass.

tonewrecker: hahaha, yes. the Jägertarianism was something i picked up in germany... vegan/jägertarin. that´s me in a nutsheel.

i don´t have any roomates now. but i´ve lived in a flat with 3other people (collective, i think it´s called)... there it was pure war everytime somebody has touched another once food... crasy shit.
most of the time it was obvius who had taken what. but no one could ever adimt that they have taken it.
damn i still don´t like Patrick the toastsandwithc freak. Patrick i stole your warm water heater... come and take if you dare ! hahahhaaaa.

" ooo, hes a vegan, watch what you say,oooo,dont eat that in front of him"

i just hate being singled out for something i beleive in. i dont care if others eat meat, shit if it tastes good and you like it, i want to hear that. if you love fish,rotting brains,pig ass, thats fine. lets just get over that hump of im this and your that.

It involves this twat who lives across the road nearly breaking my door down because he thought I owed him a fiver (which his pissed mate picked up off my table)
He scared my girlfriend, which led me to grab the fucking huge wilko's screwdriver, stand out in the middle of the road and shout at the top of my voice "COME HERE AGAIN AND I'M GOING TO SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN!"

He really shouldn't have came round so early in the morning.

Alright..here's my rant...

There's no good cartoons on television Saturday mornings. Kids can't see crazy adventures and let their imagination go wild. They have to see lame "reality" shows like "saved by the bell" and grow up way too fast. I don't see kids pretending to be superheroes anymore and playing outside for hours until dark. I don't see kids from other neighborhoods getting together to play kickball or tag or anything on their own. Parents have to organize everything and make it competitive to somehow relive their own lost youth through their kids.

It's all a damn shame and the kids lose out because my own memories of care free days playing are some of the best thoughts that I still hang on to.

How come in all the thousands of hours of available TV time there is not ONE decent music programme? tune in every week and the reaserchers have done a good job finding good bands to interveiw and showing good videos.

Power Puff Girls rock man, they so funny - but its all on Nicklodean and Cartoon Network and stuff - so if you ain't rich I 'spose you have to just have network TV - dunno what that's like for kiddies in the US - its pretty decent in the UK - I reckon...

also, these all american fuckholes with their enormous tanker SUV's, of course bearing the huge american flag sticker on the back window. these goddamn things are as long as a city block (did you really need the extra cab?)
meanwhile his wife is using the mini-van to "run some errands" and is trying to parallel park, make a call on the celly and hop out for her early morning grande chai latte enema and cuts me off because she OWNS THE ROAD . watch where the fuck you're going, lady!

Broken digestive biscuits that you only realise a broken when you dip them in your tea, and it just falls apart - that really gets me. I usually go through the pack, and chuck away all of the broken ones -I just point blank refuse to eat them. Yeah - it may be a waste of biscuit, but it saves me from losing the fucking plot each time I go to dunk 'em...

Those rubbsih txt messages T-Mobile or some stupid promoter send you - especially when you're waiting to hear from someone...

People who leave dirty dishes etc by the SIDE of the sink, as aposed to placing them in the wash-basin in the sink - drives me mad everytime...

Bad hair days - 'nuff said on that one...

Dog-Shit on the pavement - it's one of the very few things in the world that actually makes my skin crawl - really. There is a Green near to where I live, which has a walkway next to it - I've re-named it Shit-Valley: people take their dogs there to poo, and they allow their animals to do it on the walkway aswell....

Ants - they look like crawling scabs to be...

Law homework - it's pointless, lame and boring - and I want it abolished

There WILL be more.... :)

i want to rant with u about this Hiro

I had my beautiful bike stolen in 2001, and then the replacement in 2002. I then had to walk just over 10 miles a day ..because there is no bus to take me there...luckily, a lady on my street now goes in the same direction by car, noticed me walking in all weathers, and now gives me a list. Haven't replaced my bike yet - i need a metal bar attaching to the house, to chain the bike to, as simply chaining it wasn't enough..
and then

to add insult to 'imjury', i was cleaning my teeth in the bathroom two weeks after my bike was stolen, and i saw a face peeping through my bathroom window. It was summer, my back door was open due to the warmth of the night, but it was very late (2:30am), and I couldn't believe the flood of adrenaline which began to pump through my body....I quietly went to my back door, and screamed as loudly as I could, then shut the door, and locked it, ran to my front door in time to see the man running as fast as he could down the street, The stupid thing is, I actually wanted to chase the bastard down the road, and shout at him 'where is my bike, u junkie!!', but I am very glad I didn't.
I completely lost my wits, and couldn't sleep all night.

karitek

20th March 2003, 01:14

no, i don't really mean procrastination - i am pretty bad about that, but i do get stuff done. i mean people who say 'yeah i'm gonna go travelling in 6 months' or 'let's start this band' or make plans, etc...and then never follow through. it just seems pointless. i just want to surround myself with people i know i can count on - been let down/disappointed too much in my 24 yrs.

I couldn't really complain if I didn't lock my bike... It was a city-made lock post and a nut-bar Kryptonite bike lock... The fact of the matter is: Any lock can be broken- It just takes a little time, freezing and a metal rod.

I am just going to chalk this up as a lesson in becoming attached to objects... Still, I gave this bike a lifeforce... Took me ages to pay for it (a semester and a half of twenty-spot-at-a-time lay-away plan)... (cue teeniest violin solo).

Today was all about touring around the *ahem* "used" bike shops... Searching... No luck yet.

I am in total agreement with you on this one paul. there are no good cartoons and the toys now a days are such unimaginative crap. I remember growing up and watching saturday morning cartoons so early my parents would get pissed. and they had all these comercials for really cool toys. now if you watch cartoons they suck completely, and then when the ads for the toys come on I keep thinking 'who would want to play with that?'.
also kids don't play outside anymore. I used to play by my creek all the time with my friends. have water ballon fights, play 'war' or 'cops and robbers' make rope swings. I worry what my kids will have to play with.

most people just don't know what to do with their kids anymore and they are happy to please them by letting them watch tv and play computer.......it all changed soo much on tv..today you can see the fisrt dead people and tits during the afternoon !!

I mean, I love it here, and we're priveliged to have access to so much killer entertainment any night of the week, but lots and lots of places (mostly in Camden or EC1-2) are full of knobbers who won't/can't get into the spirit of rock and roll, and fucking ruin gigs by standing around with their best seen-it-all faces on, talking utter shit very loudly, making sarky comments at decent acts, and getting in the way of people who actually want to dance / mosh / act the goat. FUCK EM!

I hate when, spinning in a party, people have fun and dance, and a guy says "pleeeeease, can you put something faster/slower/harder?" Guy, don't you see that everyone is having fun at the moment? go and buy some cheap earphones!
...blah...

i hate it when people are smoking and leave their cigarette in the ashtray all the time so the smoke just blows in people's faces

that advert for jaffa cakes where the teacher says 'full moon...half moon" makes me feel physically ill

i can bear the sight of people kissing on tv

brighton council piss me off with their total enthrallment to celebrity culture rather than actually dealing with the many social problems of brighton and hove...
they would rather set up a limited and shoddy kerbside recycling scheme of their own than support the excellent one already established here, Magpie recyling. they have victimised them continuously...they stop funding to Rape Crisis but allow Cook to have his shit -music - fests on our beach...its disgusting.

my housemate bought a CD that has, yeap, you've guessed 74minutes of Formula 1 racing car sounds on it. Starting up, stopping, flying down the straight, breaking for corners, overtaking, coming into the pits - everything - I'll send you a copy Emma, I know you'll love it...

This group of girls at my University who act like they own the place - or just girls like that in general.

I cant slag them off too hard, as some elements will be too close to home (ie: some of the clothes they wear, and bags and stuff they have, but trust me - they never rock it with class - unlike my good self :) ) - but I just can't stand the way they think they are better than the rest of the planet just because of the way they swank about the place....

"it´s for our lifes, it´s for our children
no panda freaks in our big cities"
(it sounds better in swedish when it rimmes even).

but seriously.. i don´t like pandas.

If you have two rolls of toilet paper, one new and one about finished, people will almost always take toilet paper from the new roll rather than finish the old roll. Why is this? Are people that inept in finishing anything? Is this cross cultural?

And when yr in the middle of a 'job' u realize that the roll aint full enuff..

bummer...

Very good MUX, one of those really annoying things that don't spring immediately to mind.

Something that annoys the fuck out of me (It happens every week)
Is that the council have given us smaller wheelie bins ( about half the bloody size)
And you can't possibly fit a weeks rubbish in it and I even recycle all the paper and cardboard.

So I have no option but to do the old balancing act with the bin bags.
And the CHEEKY bastards leave the bags that are balanced on top, on the pavement, leaving them to be ripped apart by the many urban foxes and dogs that roam the streets at night.

What the fuck do we pay council tax for??

aleks

22nd March 2003, 12:22

what really annoys me are people who are never on time (or is it in time?) anyway...i hate it. another thing that annoys me is if you want to go somewhere to a club or so and you are ready to leave at 11 and people tell you: "wait i gotta got there and need to take a shower" and so on...wtf have they been doing all day they knew that i wanted to leave at 11. that kind of behaviour drives me insane...

22nd March 2003, 17:31

another one i hate is when a barman misunderstands you in the club.. ask for a sambuca/water and noticing it a fuckin pina-colada-special-sunshine-offer (umbrealla included) that all the ladies are taking..
you always notce after the fist sip and it's hassle to make it back to the bar

I remember years ago reading an interview with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top where he said he got the inspiration for his guitar sound by listening to records of dragster engines.

@aleks

that thing about people always being late etc. - drives me nuts as well! I have contact to a lot of people I consider genuine friends, but they just cannot be on time anywhere! it get's to the point where you're just happy they DID show up sometime, I've had to call people up and tell them not to bother coming over anymore at all just because it was fucking pissing me off - how can a person announce they are coming 3 days in series and then always cancel 2+ hours after they were supposed to have already shown up? argh!

i also really hate it when people in cars forget that pedestrians are humans too, despite not being encased in metal. someone actually deliberately accelerated his car towards me when i crossed the street recently, and i could see his face grimacing at me through the glass with truly homicidal intentions for daring to slow his progress towards a red light by all of half a second.

I quit smoking and now I get Pleurisy (swelling and irritation of the membrane that surrounds the lungs)
The pain down the left side of my chest is probably the worst pain I have ever endured, that's why I have just drugged myself with DF118s and Diazepam (and of course the Amoxicillin the doctor prescribed me)

Is there no fucking justice in this stupid world?

I'm off to bed for a few days....
