mds are grebt, I love mine, for recording gig, having whopping great mixes on LP4 on shuffle play and getting surprises all the time, thay are marvellous, especially when you can plug it into the separates too and have it as a deck also. -- chris (cbrassic...), August 5th, 2002.

-- Dan Perry (djperr...), August 5th, 2002.

-- katie (kjgrocot...), August 15th, 2002.
Also I cannot be arsed to defend [x] to a bunch of people who clearly will never understand how utterly grebt it is.

Ursula LeGuin = grebt grebt grebt - but now I have to go for lunch so more on this later! -- Sarah (starr...), August 5th, 2002.
Actually I was 1. flattered 2. seized with a sense of grebt superiority over weak men and their overwhelming libidos, I would never SIGH at a man on the street. Well not audibly anyway.
-- Emma (emmaluvscak...), August 2nd, 2002.
i like BEORN but he is from Tha Hobbit so um. Gandalf is grebt in any form, as are the Nazgul (and sooooo scary in the film). Aragorn was always a bit of a bleh for me in the book, but Viggo Mortensen is really, really good in the film. and gollum is by far the most interesting if you're going to start getting all "all things philosophical in LotR" about it all. cripes sorry i've got to work now byee!

Now is the time to reveal the grebt Mentality Towers ad break game DO OR BUY! -- Tom (ebro...), August 16th, 2002.

Sorry about that, but it was supposed to be a grebt picture of a hat.
-- Nicole (nicolew1...), August 23rd, 2002.
jess you did not say "grebt debt" = you deserve to be behind bars
-- mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchnet7...), August 21st, 2002.
have a GREBT time and REPORT BACK. i want to hear of shenanigans!
-- katie (kjgrocot...), August 1st, 2002.
it was grebt for bouzing purposes! apart from friendly but slightly slow barman. but i sympathise with all bar staff who have to put up with us lot... -- katie (kjgrocot...), August 15th, 2002.
a white russian, because my best friend's g/f had never tried one. she didn't like it, which was good because i got to finish it off. people who order drinks to 'try' them = GREBT!
-- Dave M. (pton_mwaa...), August 16th, 2002.
I think we all find a grebt deal of difficulty in taking oral criticism.
-- Alan T (Alan.Trewarth...), August 2nd, 2002.
my friend rae says the new almodovar = grebt
-- mark s (mar...), August 27th, 2002.
simeon. u r truly grebt
-- Alan (Alan.Trewarth...), August 22nd, 2002.
I finally got round to seeing this last night and thought it was grebt. Good old Pinefox. Good old Coens. I didn't sense any emotional investment though - or no more so than usual.
-- Tom (ebro...), August 6th, 2002.
unfortunately i don't think Farmer Dave was there last night (unless that was him behind a huuuge shock of hair, they didn't speak to the supporting lackeys um, bands at all) but yes arthur - he has been know to cause the odd flutter among the tompaulin female contingent also! heh. thanks for coming chaps - it was grebt!
-- katie (kjgrocot...), August 28th, 2002.
Anyway, Bagpuss / Bod / Mr Benn etc. etc. aren't they grebt....
-- Emma (emmaluvscak...), August 1st, 2002.
another grebt resource for this: the wikicyclopedia!
-- Alan Trewartha (alan.trewarth...), August 16th, 2002.
wasn't it just pasteurised milk, rather than UHT? if so, that was a grebt idea. i feel just a teeny bit conspicuous drinking from an open milk carton on the street.
-- Alan (Alan.Trewarth...), August 22nd, 2002.
(actually think Slaters have been grebt -- it's just the anthony/zoe thing that's been rub)
-- Alan Trewartha (alan.trewarth...), August 6th, 2002.
spectra those belong to the horrible boys school! (currently staying in upper stuart street so I see it all the time).
the "God Save The Clean" graffiti is grebt, & the Nandor portait is interesting . . . also, the "I know who wrote this" in the alleyway by the Meridian.-- Ess Kay (orpheus_n...), August 29th, 2002.
last night i saw "show me love" (yes yes and then went to work and informed everyone that i watched a film about swedish lesbians arf!) and it was GREBT! and i also loved "together". but since i know nothing about films i was hoping you'd have a chat about these 2 and perhaps make some other recommendations (not just from moodysson, i think these are his only 2 feature length things no?). i want SLIGHTLY ANGSTY BUT NONETHELESS UPBEAT with good acting. so there.
-- katie (kjgrocot...), August 19th, 2002.
Bugger all chiz chiz. Yesterday I got a timesheet. Interesting things through our door have included a Cornish postcard from Tom and a Sardinian postcard from my GREBT CHUM C______. Also a cockfarming WRONG PARCEL arrived from amazon.co.uk. BASTARDS.
-- Sarah (starr...), August 29th, 2002.
Hawkses original is great too though and a brilliant comparison text (as is the original short story Who Goes There). It treats the scientist trying to communicate with the big carrot as a madman - it is fantastically hawkish to use the current definition of that word.
Arctic circle is a grebt place to set a vampire film btw.
-- Pete (pb1...), August 16th, 2002.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAD A DOCTOR WHO THREAD WHILE I WAS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.
Leela was far and away my favorite. She was foxy and completely lethal; "Robots Of Death" is so classic it hurts. Zoe was also foxy and smart. My favorite TARDIS crew of all time is Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough, though. They were only together for two shows, but the whole evil companion thing was SO GREBT.
-- Dan Perry (djperr...), August 4th, 2002.
No thats me being angry and sad an trying to make a ruin thread cos 2002.2 was being the exact opossite of the AMAZINGLY SURPRISING FEKING GREBT 2002.1 and the whole shit came down this morning. Out of class for stupid reasong by stupid teacher and cos of that getting a 0 in physics, school saying i will have to change my classroom, no money and dad wont even let me feel like shit alone
:´(
-- Chupa-Cabras (m_66...), August 22nd, 2002.
(nice piccie jel!!) mine is a double futon with a thick mattress, lots of pillows and red, navy, yellow or green sheets/linen. there is also a grebt patchwork blanket that me and my mum made together and which is the snuggliest blanket evah! although when we stop renting (futon = dead easy to move, y'see) i want a bed from THE IRON BED COMPANY! -- katie (kjgrocot...), August 12th, 2002.
of course, this only applies if you subscribe to any of godwin's laws. naturally we don't. that said, here's a picture of me at halloween
it was a particularly grebt costume

Cricket on the radio (1 matching message)
Grebt, obv. Some are OK as sports commentators, some are poor. Vic Marks, CMJ and Jonathan Agnew are all good commentators and seem like personable chaps. Blowers is very entertaining but usually more interested in the pigeons than the cricket. Trevor Bailey's too posh for his own good and part of the 'it was all better in my day' mob. Jack Bannister (now on Talk Radio) does nothing but bang on about spread betting. Fred Trueman occasionally makes we want to throw the radio out of the window ('abolish the lbw rule!' like HELLO?). Graham Gooch has been known to put elephants to sleep.

Mexico -dos and don't (1 matching message)
Where abouts are you flying in to? I did a Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca to the coast route which was fantastic. I would say that Mexico City and Oaxaca are a must - very different places, really interesting, vibrant and nuts.
Mole poblano in Puebla is a must to eat, though I loved all the food in Mexico. Monte Alban outside Oaxaca has grebt ruins - and of course if you are in Mexico City the Pyramids of the Sun & moon are a must. The Anthropological Museum in MC is brilliant too.
I want to go back to see Guadalahara and Copper Canyon.

Manchester (1 matching message)
Christ on a bike - what did Toms keyboard DO to my typing/coherency?? I blame my POX. Another grebt place to go for 7"s (if it's still there) = top floor of Afflecks palace, tons of ex-jukebox "cuts". A load of rub but some fantastic stuff in there too. And some naughty paperbacks - cor.
And for yr poncey London stylings you only need to go to the NEU! REVAMPED! square with it's Muji and it's Wagamamas, now fetch me my Kensington High Street my good man. The Town Hall is also a beautiful building and beats Westminister into a cocked hat.
ALTHOUGH - I don't know anywhere in Manchester (the Trafford Centre doesn't count) which has DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION EUROMIX TWO!!!
-- Sarah (starr...), August 15th, 2002.
Progress (1 matching message)
Martin - the impression I get from most surviving Roman texts, though, is not one of 'progress' being a motor of society. The Empire always had to contend with the notion that the Republic (particularly when ppl couldnt remember the Republic) was better/fairer/juster. Tacitus (I think - maybe Livy) is big on how everything was grebt when he was a lad but now the youth are out of control and morals are declining. -- Tom (ebro...), August 2nd, 2002.
(the other good ILE PKD thread)
PKD update! I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon - first collection of PKD short stories I've read & fairly much living up to all the accolades attributed to them etc etc etc. The Transmigration Of Timothy Archer - latter Dick & very, very affecting to me - completely1 unSF meditations on death, with random touches of the pre-Socratics, the sort of heretical-Christian fragments Beckett was so fond of, & the least irritating wranglings of Dante & Goethe I've seen in a long time. & his San Francisco rings true, to boot.
& just stayed up last night to read through Clans of the Alphane Moon (& something I'm glad I approached after becoming acquanting with PKD etc) - alternately hilarious &, er, provocative (=> heh my current mental state=the book). Grebt ideas & the like (when I clicked to the Clan names), + Lord Running Clam is possibly the bestest PKD character ever!-- Ess Kay (orpheus_n...), August 21st, 2002
