Strange bits of paper

I found a bit of paper in my room, covered in doodles and writing, part of which said something like 'Why do the people in Friends never get drunk? Why do they never find themselves going for a piss behind wheelie bins then breaking into their own house because they can't find their keys?'. These are important questions. Give me answers. Why is there so little drinking on TV when drinking is a)ace and b)all over the place?

Apparently some fools think it's bad for you.

"Why is there so little drinking on TV when drinking is a)ace and b)all over the place?"

-I think you answered your own question right there. T.V. has never been known for it's honest portrayal of any semblance of something you might call real. "when my father smashed that tv screen, I understood what he had to say!" -the Clash

Ah, yes. Now there's a role model. Might buy a video of that.

― alix, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes do. I want to watch it.

Neighbours!

I watched friends tonight for the first time ever. I watched 5 minutes. Brad Pitt was in it. It did not make me laugh. It made me want to bash the living shit outta my tv and get these inanae fucks out.

Why do they never get up hungover and stagger to work and find they've lost their wallet and start worrying about someone on the nightbus finding it and ripping off all the money out of their credit and debit accounts and so cancel their cards and spend all day with a grinding headache and NO MONEY and have to beg a plate of chips and gravy from the canteen ladies and no fizzy pop ho no and then get home and burst into tears when they see the wallet on their coffee table. Every single fucking week of their miserable lives. WHY?

i read that in the US Big Bruvver, they edited out much booze drinking, and had no ordinary glasses -- they were all opaque so you couldn't see what they were drinking. Compare UK big brov when that was basically topic #1 (mostly, i.e. when dying for a shag wasn't)

Neighbours and Home and Away have tainted my mind with this image of Austrailia as a place where noone ever gets pissed but instead goes to clubs that look like school discos and gets given out to by a Doug or Joe Scully type hardman.

I think I was sober, but very tired, a state which is often worse in me than drunkerdry.

one year passes...

There's a post-it note on my desk that reads 'Why wouldn't I?'. My flatmate came in and asked what it meant. I had to lie.

B...b...b...but this is the storyline of Episode 6 from the 3rd season of Friends...

You've obviously never seen Secret Life of Us then, Ro! All they ever do on that show is drink or smoke doobs. I swear to god, I thought I drank a lot, but they go to the bar or have wine at home every time they sit down, stop work, or meet someone. How they're not staggering alcoholics I don't know.

Also, they never drink or socialise ANYWHERE except 2 streets worth of St Kilda. What a bunch of bores. They don't even go to Revolver, and it's shown in the opening credits!

3 streets if you count the Espy ;)

the strangest bits of paper are those found in your pocket after a load of wash

I'm sure till receipts breed. I always find tons of the blessed things lying around my bedroom. I can't possibly have done *that much* shopping.

But strangest of all were the two pieces of lined paper I found in the living room with my name written on them. I have no idea where they came from or who wrote them.

Song lyrics breed. I'm always finding song lyrics, in my handwriting, that I SWEAR I have never written. And they're always terrible.

when i was sitting my leaving cert (final school exams in ireland)i thought i saw something out of the corner of my eye and looked down to see a scrunched up piece of paper on the ground beside my desk...it wasn't the type of paper used in the exams,and all i could make out of what was written on it was "wicked wild wild west"

obviously i couldn't just pick it up in the middle of an exam and read it so i just had to call the examiner and tell him it had just appeared there and get him to clear it away but i'd love to know how and why it got there
