I sort of know what you mean, laviticus. I used to do door-to-door sales and telesales. Whenever I spoke with an old (er) person, they’d keep me on the doorstep / telephone for ages. You had to move on to the next house but was sometimes difficult to break away, esp when they told you they’d not spoken to ANYONE in over a month, and all you were doing was trying to flog doulble glazing or security alarms.

V.sad.

Could the council not have put an external letterbox up??? I know a number of people who have, largely as an anti mischeivous night / Guy Fawkes night measure to stop d***heads putting fireworks through the door and burning the ghouse down.

I just realised who you were on about…I usually see his name written as Mao Tse Tung or Mao Tse Dung.

But you know what the reaaly sad thing is….the public gets the celebs and media they deserve.

People will continue to buy newspapers and glossy gosip mags and read the crap about the current flavours of the month or those who fall from grace. The public must shoulder some of the blame. This is why i do not buy a newspaper anymore. As for Hello and OK magazines, what is the point of them!!!!! I just do not care what these z list celebs get up to.

Now an in depth intelligent interview with say, Samuel L. Jackson, Harrison Ford, or Ewan McGregor I would be more likley to read. Guys such as this have much more genuine star appeal.

I partly think that if I were a z lister with debts to pay off and with little else to offer, I’d milk the tabloids for everything they were willing to put my way.

ANYONE who appears on Big Bro. Also any “celeb” or -z lister who appears on any “Celebrity” program.

Take “nasty” Nick from BB1. Why was HE famous?????????????????????????????? Even ended up fronting a quiz show for fu… I mean cripes sake!!!!!!!

How dare you sir……!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George Clooney as hannibal?

Micheal Clark Duncan as BA Barracus?

Pierce Brosnan or Brad Pitt as Face?

Steve Buscemi as Howling Mad Murdoch?

Why do most people think life on another world will ALWAYS be more advanced??

Who knows, maybe there is a “humanoid” race or equiv going through a Stone Age, Iron Age or Bronze Age. Or perhaps their industrial revolution. Maybe WE are the more advanced life form…..who knows. Unless you believe all those alien abductees…..
