As an idler I pledge...

Some of the pledges made so far:
To strive not to work ridiculous hours, especially not for some corporate wankster. To strive to eat nice stuff that doesn't go ping at the end. I will not let stress intrude upon me where possible. Eat more home grown veg. To procreate and make idle babies. To eat slowly. To drink real ales frequently. To sing more. To smile more. To step off the 9-5 merry-go-round before I get queasy. To amuse myself in public as well as in private. To strive to amuse others as well as myself. To know that work is merely for paying the bills. To always remember that friends are a source of strength. To enjoy the simple things. To spend quality time in nature. To spend less with big businesses and corporations. To make lots of nice things instead. To go against the grain. To strive to make a difference, to the world and people around you... however small. To be happy!!! Read the pledges and add your own in the forum

Forum post of the week

dear god my cousins partner is a snob. i went for a bbq round their place, and he is a nice enough bloke, but he sees everything in £££ signs. either what it cost or what its worth. he has all these half arsed notions about what 'looks right' in the sense of showing off. kept going on an on about what their home would be worth now and what else hes going to do to improve the value. wants to put in a downstairs loo. its a small house and the upstairs loo is only, well, upstairs. but apparently a downstairs loo 'adds value'. never mind that their actual bathroom barely functions and has been in a state of total disrepair for about 7 years! personally i've never seen it really nessecery to have more than one loo in a house unless you have many many people live there. (don't get me started on en-suites..a toilet, in your bedroom, yuck!). it just went on, we must have this we must do that. i told him i was gonna live in an earthship made of tyres and straw with a compost toilet and windmill and he'd better hurry up and buy all the stuff he want cos the oils about to run out and then he'll be fucked.
he laughed...but who said i was joking

Re:Idle London by Mr Thursday
It's a lovely pub, though not a regular haunt for me: as it's not exactly 'local'. I read a review that said you can meet bullion dealers drinking with street sweepers - and that isn't too far off... 3.7.2009 23:27
