- If 95% of one race name their kid the same thing it's bound to happen. If every Polish person in the UK named their kid Szymon that would be the most popular.Hayzilla
- High religious Desert nomadic tribal culture meets modern individual progressive culture. Result. Desert culture calls all their sons the same religious name.shapesalad
- To be fair, many of the most popular names in western countries are from the Bible: Michael, David, James, Mathew, etc.monNom

My past haunts me to this day.
My old acquaintances are a thorn in my foot.
I wish I could be wiped from their brain forever.
Instead, they continue to torment me and destroy my current reputation.
People from 10-15 years ago.
When I look them up I only feel shame and disgust.
Burn the past.

I set out a load of cider jar traps for slugs and snails yesterday, all along one side of the garden. Great success! Must've snared a good twenty of each last night. Plan was to do the other side of the garden tonight... except the cunning bastards obviously realised what I was doing and took down half of a prized tomato plant that was beginning to look majestic.
Tonight it's going to be gastropodogeddon out there.

Went for a walk today. Went to check my PO Box...when I came back out onto the street, an exceptionally good looking young lady, probably early 20's, walks past clearly also out for some exercise. Was hard not to notice her sheer yoga pants that were semi see through in the sun that clearly highlighted her g-string. I was behind her for a good 10 minutes...but started to feel slighty uncomfortable, especially after what has just transpired in Melbourne, with a young woman murdered. I could tell this person was glancing back every couple of minutes to see where I was.
So I decided to just cross the road, take a side street and go on a completely different route. Didn't want to make the woman feel any more uneasy.
Anyway...I walk another 5 minutes or so and the same person comes up another side street and starts walking the same route as me again...she glanced over and I could tell she was thinking I was some kind of creepy stalker...what made matters worse was when she took out some keys and unlocked a gate - again looking at me as if to say 'fuck off you dirty old man'.
Was really uncomfortable. Last thing I was trying to do was follow or perve on her. My efforts to remove myself from the situation clearly failed and made things worse. Yuk!

Been there, kreepy af, one time the girl started running, how to tell her; Ey! I'm tall but a nice guyOBBTKN - lolSimonFFM
- pics or vids?VectorMasked
- this. I always feel uncomfortable, even in a busy city street walking behind women in 'sexy' clothing or yoga pants etcshapesalad
- ..you can so easily be accused of being a pervert, or at least looking creepy. Not that I don't first assess the ass-tits to determine how uncomfortable I feel.shapesalad
- ^^ let's just say I was VERY VERY uncomfortable...if you get my drift. Even that sounds a bit creepy.BusterBoy
- Should've just asked her if she has Jesus Christ in her life. That'd knock her off the scent.microkorg
- Excuse me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?pango
- maybe she was stalking you?hans_glib
- username checks outmekk
- Been there. It happened more than once. Talked to her, explained i just live in the same area, and also like running. Now we smile and wave.jagara
- We shouldn't normalize paranoid feelings of "rape culture". If I was a woman in an actual rape culture, I wouldn't wear yoga pants, but something less revealingsofas
- and maybe more practical, like pants with a pocket to hide a knife. Not that i'm blaming victims, people should be able to wear what the want and be safesofas
- I would add, buzz my hair, ditch high heels, start practicing martial arts. I wonder why men behave this way...?sofas
- I hold up my hands and say I'm innocent and then tell them the location your going in. Smile (non creepy)mugwart
- its a shitty situation but they also project as much on to you. Its not fair that you feel shitty for walking around your area.mugwart
- here's a question - Yoga pants women feel ok with pretty much revealing all - but us guys feel super not ok to wear tight trousers that reveal the general.shapesalad
- Guys wear lycra for cycling, but you don't see guy wearing lycra so casually in public as women wearing yoga pants. Perhaps women need to think about that.shapesalad
- For men, we don't reveal so much physically, we're modest - is that because we know how we react to seeing a hot girl in yoga pants?shapesalad

- We then look at each other for a second and he tells me "I don't want to get metooed", it was exactly what I was thinking. We continued our way.soundofreason

Both are right.mugwart - In Taiwan I saw an old man knocked off his scooter. Bleeding from face. Hot scooter exhaust on his leg. No one helped him. Just wait for ambulance.shapesalad

- happened to me once with my next door neighbour who I didn't know after recently moving in to the building, I "followed" her to her door for about 10 minutes :(sofas
- I usually address the situation if I'm following someone like that into my apartment, something like:jaylarson
- Don't mind me, I just happen to be following you into my apartment. Or anything to lighten the alienating weirdness. Meta is relevantjaylarson
- Don't mind me, I just happen to be following you into your apartment.set

I wonder how many of you are having 'private' conversations in non-publicised username profile threads.
- Can they hit front page?
I need more time on my hands to try this shit.detritus - i thought the feed brought up that sort of thinghans_glib
- Feed brings up things you've involved yourself in - not sure about main links.detritus
- eg. http://www.qbn.com/t…detritus
- I don't recall ever seeing this spamdetritus
- go back through the topic numbers - there's fuckloads of spammy shit in there.. i wonder if there's anything else too?
STED, STAT!detritus - Crikey, I just came across some from 9 years ago that had html/js in the usernames.. which as I'm sure you can imagine leads to some interesting hackery..detritus
- ...I presume that loophole's long-since fixed?detritus
- i remember Orazal once saying that the user profiles were totally under-utilized.Gnash
- yeah for example it would be great to start private conversations what only the two parties can see...sted
- Are you worried your secret little ntc profile chat will hit front page?set
- (lol)set
- I've no idea what you're on about, and I've not been involved with NTC for about 18 months, set.detritus
- I just noticed something beforehand and then dug around a bit and wondered a bit more. But hey, whatever floats your boat.detritus
- OH, you mean the pre-NTC 'SBT' thread which everyone found about 6 years ago? No, I don't give a shit about that.detritus
- But nice use of your typically condescending diminutives.
'Aw Bless'.detritus - hahaha jesus fucking christ you're sensitive. Look at that response. It's so utterly gloriously petty and defensive hahahahahaha. Ahhhh. I am replete.set
- You must really value my opinionset
- To give one single shit about what I say, let alone twenty thousand glorious gold plated shitsset
- So, I conclude, that my opinion is of divine worthiness, and thus, I thank you for your devotion and give permission to go on about your lowly day.set
- I wasn't even really trying troll you but it just comes so naturallyset
- If i'm defensive it's because for some reason you hang off my balls all the time, prodding and jabbing at my posts here.
I have no idea why.detritus - You can just ignore me, you know? Other than an accidental +1 in the pockets thread last week, that's what I've been trying to do with you.detritus
- I prod cos I know you're so fucking sensitive to it, and you do it to othersset
- so I guess a small part of me enjoys doing it to you and seeing your ridiculous reactionset
- Look at that up there it's pure fucking goldset
- ..and I commend you for apparently trying to ignore me recently, but let's be honest, usually you jump on me at any opportunity you get :)set
- You and fadein, every time. You're my qbn nemesiseseses didn't you know?set
- It's just a laff, innit?set
- Not really, you're boring. Does anyone else reading this see the irony in set's reaction? I'm assuming he doesn't.detritus

Just ordered "the" ring. Planning out a romantic trip next. Suddenly got very light headed!

QBN is sailing into weird waters.
Posts deleted, users banned for reasons that are not valid for all, threads merged and/or deleted, weird people signing in, users with ten usernames and so on...
WTF?!
- No one was banned, oey - I don't know why you keep interpreting that episode that way - he ASKED to have his account deleted.detritus
- I've heard a rant like this before. You sound like the Morning star. You sound like Lucifer, man!soundofreason
- And if you think anything in your list there is 'weird waters' for QBN, you've clearly gotten senile in your advancing years - it was always thus. More so...detritus
- QBN has always deleted posts and threads but most of us don't notice it and it gets forgotten quickly.soundofreason
- I have also talked about QBN allowing people to use multiple accounts for "the good cause" before.soundofreason
- I don't care if I get banned, I'm supposed to be renderedred or utopian anyway.soundofreason

I just checked the font I'm using for current PITA job and it's familiar. So familiar in fact, that I remember buying it a few years back when it was on special offer. Is it installed on my machine? Of course not. Can I find the Zip file I downloaded? Of course not.
So here I am, screengrabbing previews from a font site and vectorising to make up the numeral and additional word I need to add to client's flat vectors. Ho hum.

started making each cup of coffee individually, grinding beans and using an aeropress and it's so much nicer. it tastes better than coffee from the pot, and the diligence and attention required to carefully make each cup makes the experience more variable and rewarding.
