general chat is now outlawed, any attempts at general chattery on forums shall be met with severe repercussions. If you feel the urge to partake in chit chattery on the forums you're advised to disguise the said chit-chattery as a poem  ...not a very good one though, you don't want to alert admin        
     
In other news, Violet left ..again, and is apparently some days late for her re emergence, it having been announced with much fanfare on a thread, there's still no sign of her. perhaps Atakti can help her up out of bed too.        
     
and prize for having the best exit this year goes to Jack. wait..      
     
     
Apparently Somelikeithot was intoxicated by a sip of power, having been bestowed with a shiny sheriffs badge just last week. she's now morphed into our worst nightmare ...a teacher with a badge.      
     
she didn't start out so heavy handed, a couple of days ago after smelling a rat when aheartflash was acting in a way that some might perceive to be trolling the forums she asked this of her.      
     
"you know too much about this place, who are you"        
     
ahhh.. the direct approach always yields something. mostly profanities.      
     
Her latest clenching of the buttocks involved son of two Mr A, when he posted this bit of wisdom to a competition run by her ..and only for her:      
     
"Whatever this is, I'd strongly recommend working on content before format"      
     
^ that little beauty earned Mr A a forum ban.      
     
     
     
elsewhere, Gemini has resurrected his porn thread, reaffirming his interest with members. well ..his member anyway, but unfortunately ..had an accident. we can only hope he was writing to Holly at the time      
     
in the second accident on that thread dystopianmelody spontaneously cum-bust-ed after checking out a link thoughtfully posted by Gemini after his accident.  ...lads, if she was all that, the make up would be less  ...how shall I put it,  ..less      
     
the vizzard of odd has been busy forging new friendships with himself,  playing catch me if you can with admin. we asked our India correspondent if there was any insight could be shared:      
     
" How are you being, HQ!, I am being pleased to correspond. it is apparently that Vizard is very likely to being what we are liking to call ' a poop in the curdy'"

Jack's art attack      
     
Filth:      
     
An odd but effective mix of gritty black humour and Hitchcockian psychodrama, Filth is another mind-bending shocker from Irvine Welsh. Well, it's based on a novel by him, as Trainspotting was.      
     
It begins with a racist murder by a gang of thugs, witnessed by a pretty, dolled-up woman. She kneels casually over the body. Just another night in Edinburgh. We then cut to Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy), an ambitious cop gunning for a promotion to Detective Inspector; he's also a drug-addled monster who accepts sexual favours from suspects, bullies anyone weaker than him and constantly sets his colleagues up to humiliate them.      
     
Bruce is one of Welsh's most complex characters. He oscillates between sociopathy and rare moments of concern, like when he saves a dying man's life on the street. McAvoy's portrayal of this bipolar personality is masterful; one moment he's a comic sadist, kicking a beggar's cup or popping a child's balloon, the next he's tortured by what he's become.      
     
Supporting players include Jamie "Billy Elliot" Bell as a sexually insecure copper and Jim Broadbent as an indifferent shrink, who becomes a psychotic inquisitor in Bruce's drug-fueled daydreams.      
     
These latter scenes are what slightly remove Filth from the pure realism of Trainspotting. Though you might remember Ewan McGregor's trip through "the worst toilet in Scotland", and a dead baby crawling toward him when he goes cold turkey, those were symbolic interludes, meant to illustrate the depths of addiction.      
     
The fantasy scenes in Filth are more psychologically abstract, culled not from real life but a cracked, decaying mind. At its most harrowing the film is one man's trip not through a toilet, or even drug addiction, but crippling mental illness.      
     
Bruce is a horrible man. What he does to his poor "friend", Clifford Blades (Eddie Marsan), a naive accountant with a frustrated wife (Shirley Henderson, better known as Harry Potter's "Moaning Myrtle"), enters realms of cruelty Blades couldn't comprehend. Yet beneath it all is a dark wound, gradually exposed as the plot goes on.      
     
I'm making this all sound very bleak. Well, it is, but it's also very funny. Writer/director John S. Baird goes for an extreme kind of comedy, which McAvoy bolsters with his dry, deadpan performance. Misanthropy is at the heart of a lot of great comic characters, including Bruce, whose behavior reaches levels so absurd and exquisitely timed that you laugh despite yourself. The more you think about Baird's structuring of his film, in fact, the more you notice the careful, painstaking seesaw he navigates between laughter and sadness.      
     
The final twist is shocking, and forms an end to which we realize we've been walking all along. Filth, ultimately, is about descent.

Gabriel: A Beautiful Girl Commented This:      
     
"This is amazing. It gave me chills on my arms and straight down my back. The details are extremely seductive. Poetry like this is exactly what takes the breath away from the girls. I read it and was utterly captivated. Such a beautiful, sexy and sensual poem."      
     
lepperochan: ..are you sure it was a girl Gabe, I mean you've been known to make mistakes like that before ;)

The Moon and the night Unite      
     
     
we think fall has lived up to its name of 'most romantic ' season. yes folks, not too long a ago, a member touched down on      
British soil so he could court the moon, and court her he did, epic-ally. we salute you Carpe      
     
If, you're finding it hard to find love, don't despair. the late great Nostradamus knew exactly what you'd be going through and published a remedy for such times in his other successful book  the Traité des fardemens et confitures published 1555      
     
All you'll have to do for this gentleman's date-rape concoction is:      
     
".Take three mandrake apples and go and cull them as soon as you see the sun rising, and wrap them in verbena leaves and the root of the mullein herb, and leave them alone until the following morning. Then take the weight of six grains of magnetite from the point where it repels the iron ... and pulverise it on the marble as finely as possible, sprinkling it a little with the juice of the mandrake apple"      
     
got that? ok the next bit is crucial      
     
""...Take the blood of seven male sparrows, bled via the left wing; of ambergris the weight of 57 barley seeds; seven grains of musk; of the core of the best cinnamon that can be found the weight of 377 barley seeds; of cloves and fine lignum aloes the weight of three deniers ['pence']; of the arms of an octopus one eyelet from each, preserved and prepared in honey; of mace the weight of 21 grains; of sweet flag the weight of 500 grains; of the root of Lyris Illyrica or Sclavonia ['Illyrian or Slavonian Lyre'] the weight of 700 grains; of the root of Apii Risus ['Bee's Laughter'] 31 grains; of Cretan wine double the weight of the whole; of the finest sugar the weight of 700 grains, which is just a little more than an ounce..."      
     
     
now be very fucking careful once you have a drop of this stuff in your mouth, 'cos he goes on to warn:      
     
"if a man were to have a little of it in his mouth, and while having it in his mouth kissed a woman, or a woman him, and expelled it with his saliva, putting some of it in the other's mouth, it would suddenly cause ... a burning of her heart to perform the love-act".        
     
oh, one more thing that might need considering, if you eat the jam, for the love of god go get laid..      
     
"..For the increased production of semen that it produces rises to the brain and causes a madness that is called 'love-madness'"      
, says Nostradamus, "as well as having other powerful effects..."
