| 24 Jan 12 | Political rant (4) | (24 Jan 12, 11:57 PM by Smartarse) |
| Politics stinks. This business of 'nobody should be getting more in benefits than the average wage' really makes me angry. [more...] | ||
| 22 Feb 10 | Railway appreciation | (22 Feb 10, 6:10 PM by Smartarse) |
| Spent Sunday wandering round the local railway museum. It was shut for the winter so we came home. However it did put me in mind of a railway club I was once thinking of joining. [more...] | ||
| 20 Nov 08 | A new game for ex-off topic regulars. (4) | (22 Nov 08, 1:52 AM by mini_velvet) |

| 7 May 08 | 'This does not affect me' - CJIB | (7 May 08, 11:37 PM by Smartarse) |
| I've followed the debates on the new extreme pornography laws since they were first proposed. I started off thinking it was politically motivated legislation that would never come to pass. Then, as time went on and the legislation became clearer, I thought it would never apply to me. Now I see it as something more sinister. I see the legislation as a vague and blunt law that is so wide and open to interpretation that whoever is accused of breaking it will have a dozen ways to argue a defence in court. But this isn't a law for getting people into court. Not in great numbers, anyway. [more...] | ||
| 28 Mar 08 | It could have been me. (7) | (28 Mar 08, 10:38 AM by Sunhillow) |
| Yesterday I intended to buy a lottery ticket. I very rarely do, but I was in the shop and I thought I had a couple of quid in change so I'd do yesterdays and Saturdays with the same numbers. [more...] | ||
| 28 Jan 08 | Double whammy (2) | (28 Jan 08, 5:37 PM by mini_velvet) |
| Just thought I'd mention that I've just passed the three years on IC milestone and this is my 1000th (counted) post. [more...] | ||

| 4 Aug 07 | Short changed - magnetic coinage rant (1) | (4 Aug 07, 6:37 PM by simonelibra) |
| I just dropped my magnetic screwdriver on a pile of loose change. When I went to pick it up, half the coins came with it. This surprised me, somewhat. [more...] | ||
| 21 Jul 07 | Dandelion and Burdock (9) | (23 Jul 07, 6:07 PM by scottisharchie) |
| Not the best of days today, so as a kind of compensation I stopped at Tesco on the way home and bought myself some little treats. [more...] | ||
| 11 Mar 07 | Time to bury the hatchet (3) | (11 Mar 07, 1:30 PM by MissKimberley) |
| There must be a few people waking up today thinking they have made new enemies in the scene. And you'd think that recent events would make people less inclined to make enemies. [more...] | ||
| 9 Mar 07 | CALL FOR BOYCOTT OF SCOTTISH DAILY RECORD AND MIRROR GROUP NEWSPAPERS (12) | (10 Mar 07, 12:16 AM by NewToo) |
| The Scottish Daily Record has published personal details and pictures of a member of IC forcing her to lose her employment and status in her home community. Why? Apparently because she committed the heinous crime of working as a shop assistant for a charity while being a member of IC and posting here. [more...] | ||
| 5 Mar 07 | Wow (8) | (5 Mar 07, 10:00 PM by reflex) |
| What a weekend. I've not laughed so hard in years. We packed so much in, it felt like a crash course in how to have fun, taught by a mistress of fun. I had no idea life could be this good. And we shed tears when the unforgettable weekend had to end. | ||
| 8 Jan 07 | Earwig | (8 Jan 07, 11:21 AM by Smartarse) |
| If you want to know me better, you could read my blogs. But you'll find they say things like: 'Yesterday I bought a pie and it had a dead earwig in it.' [more...] | ||
| 20 Nov 06 | An evening of "pleasure" watching Lord of the Rings. | (20 Nov 06, 1:07 AM by Smartarse) |
| In theory I ought to really like the LOTR films. I saw them all at the cinema when they first came out. And I read the novel when I was a teenager. It's full of elves and dwarves and magic and monsters and heroic deeds, so on paper at least, I ought to really enjoy watching them. I remember the book as being a bit of a slog. Kind of a marathon read with long sections which felt like hauling yourself up a mountain by your finger nails. Peter Jackson seems to have perfectly translated that into film. And by the time you've watched it all the way through, you feel as if you've dropped the ring down [more...] | ||
| 17 Nov 06 | Already? (2) | (18 Nov 06, 9:07 PM by Gemman) |
| Got my first Christmas card today. Personally I don't send mine out till mid January. That way I know who to send them to, I can get cheap cards in the sales and I can write them during the holidays. | ||
| 1 Nov 06 | Re branding BDSM (8) | (3 Nov 06, 7:18 PM by reflex) |
| What do you think of when you think of BDSM? And what would your boss, your mum, your next door neighbour think of? Would they think of the same things or different? [more...] | ||

| 25 Oct 06 | How to be a Dom... (2) | (27 Oct 06, 12:04 AM by Smartarse) |
| This was the title of an e-mail I had from Amazon. For a second there I thought I'd maybe outed myself somehow. I haven't bought any pervy books from them, so how could they know? But when I looked at the complete message it was 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' by Nigella Lawson. [more...] | ||
