I'm unusually fed up of the ponderous Orange add that advertises horoscope sms messages. you know the one, there's a lion walking around a mall (and spooky twins, and a scorpion on the handrail, or something). lion goes up to woman buying pants, gives her meaningful stare and she picks up the "racier" pants on the next rack instead.

i.e. another excuse for tv ad rant.

txt me nu ansrs.

I think the message probably says something other than 'buy other pants' i.e. the type of shit horoscopes generally spout - 'Leo get in touch with your sensual side' 'Leo if you are single red hot passion could be on the cards' etc. etc. All Taurus horoscopes ever say is 'stop overindulging you fat bastard you are the greediest sign of the zodiac'.

What bullshit.

― Sam, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but wouldn't you prefer something more specific, along the lines of "no, not those pants, the one's on the next rack". i'd love to see horoscopes like that. sorry, this is a bit onion derivative i now realise

Fiat Punto ads have always been moronic. It's called 'punto' for fcuks sake - CHANGE THE DAMN NAME or get it advertised by hilarious comic Steve (?) Punt out of Punt & Dennis. And the latest one w/ the Human League is even more moronic than usual. Shut up quoting the Yuman League you TOSSWANK, pay for my petrol and get me a Creme Egg whilst yer at it, is what that chiXoR should say. But then again I am too poor to have a car and she obv. has the neu car and sucessful relationship with (twatty) boyf so who is the winnah? I still think IT IS I.

Metro horoscopes are often this precise. What the ad isn't telling you is that the woman is actually a virgin and therefore a physical representation of Virgo. I like the idea that star signs chat to each other (and shun poor ole Xerxes).

Taurus is the fat bastard of the zodiac. Great. I am doom-ed. I like horoscopes that are strange, like 'love will be found in a junk shop on Wednesday'

I was described as a grouchy goat yesterday, let's be fair, it was spot on.

HUH tell me about it! why oh WHY will my belly not stop expanding, oh could have something to do with constant additions of curry and beer, etc etc :(

i like mystic meg's barely-english kiss-off line: DESTINY IS A [eg TRANSPARENT WELLINGTON]

For a while the Shropshire Star paid a guy whose efforts read as per: "Gemini: it will rain today unless it is fine..."

my fave Onion horoscope was something like "Pisces: you will undergo a major change in lifestyle as you rotate through 180 degrees and are expelled by strong muscular contractions through the vagina."

Despite not believing in Star Signs mine is still bestest i.e. Aries THE RAM. Baby.

Actually a Ram is a kind of sheep - perhaps this is why I like pop!

I recall in some pub discussion or other deciding that belief in astrology is the ultimate turn-off. That might have been a bit over the top.

― Tom, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sounds quite reasonable to me.

― RickyT, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As I have no doubt said before and will say it again until it stops amusing, MINE is BETTAH cos I am on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini meaning that I have a split personality with a dose of CRABS! Arf!!

― Sarah, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

absolutely reasonable, it's a load of old baloney, but I am sea goat! surely bestest for pan-elemantal japery?

― chris, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well, i'm just full of bul.... wait, already been done.

― katie, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, resulting in split personality plus slow yet awful temper plus I dunno. It's all crap, innit? My temper is hopefully reaching a fine vintage and will be ready to be uncorked. Then you shall fear my wrath. I haven't been angry for 21 years.

― alix, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm a mad, bad Capricorn, although if Mom had crossed her legs for 48 hours I would have been an Aquarius. (I would also have a really pointy head, but we won't go into all that.)

― Dan Perry, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there's a lot of cusping on this board (and cussing too). i'm leo/virgo.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mine said that a close friend would reveal secrets about a personal problem or disorder and I would punish them as they deserved. I know, I'm scared too.

― Ronan, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've got something rising, which apparently makes a lot more sense of my non-Capricornness, according to a semi-hippy ex of mine.

― chris, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What were you doing when she said you had something rising?

Er...lame I know.

― Ronan, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

very Ronan, but it was a bit of a set-up so I'll let you off. No, I can't remember which sign it is that's rising but apparently IT MAKES SENSE OF IT ALL!

― chris, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Careful, someone must soon be punished as deserved.

― Ronan, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sarah -- I am also on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini. Does that mean we have the same birthday? If so, have we had this conversation before?

― alext, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

the punishment never came.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

patience, ronan.

― dan (dan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

they'll get theirs, oh yes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 11 January 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

my friend who is a journalist walked past the editor of a famous fashion magazine and he sent her a text message 'buy some new jeans'

― a, Monday, 12 January 2004 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

sixteen years pass...
