Superstition

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Bloody hell. How do you make that smaller?

Bloody Hell LK - I've got a superstitious dread of large pictures: I'm now going to have to wash my bollocks six times with olive oil whilst chanting "ward off this LARGE picture".

Here you go Bob, pass this one on to your friend


This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. It was sent by a medical doctor. Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly,
when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
'cause you never had time to call and say hi?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life isn't a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before your song is over.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL.

ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Dear All:

PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know. It is the request of a special little girl who will soon leave this world as she has cancer. Please send this to everyone you know or don't know.

This little girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own..

By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can send it to at least 5 or 6...

Just think it could be you one day. It's not even your money, just your time! But if you don't pass it on you will get boils and achy teeth, your cat will die and your house will burn down, you yourself will die horribly of the same disease the little girl has and when you've been buried a thunderstorm will flood the cemetary and your coffin will rise to the surface and your rotting corpse will end up floating into Sainsbury's.

What utter bollicks LLS. Nice poem with significant message aside, this is exactly the stuff that gets made up by Russian cyber criminals in the hope it will go viral and allow them to harvest as much detail as possible from Geekbook accounts.

This rant should really go in the angry thread. It's almost as bad as the thick tossers who think Apple really are going to give away 300 free i pads to random people who 'Like' their site. Fecking half wits.

[TANGODANCER]

Bloody hell. How do you make that smaller?

Sorted it for you.

Nah, it was me washing me bits six times in olive oil while chanting...

[Gary the Enfield]

I always put my left sock and shoe on before my right.

[Gooner Girl]

I always put my left sock and shoe on before my right.

Perhaps if you put your right sock and shoe on before your left you might start winning more?

[Montreal Wanderer]

I always put my left sock and shoe on before my right.

I put my socks on before my shoes but that is not superstition - the sock drawer is beside my bed, while my shoes may or may not be.

[Bruce Rioja]

I always put my left sock and shoe on before my right.

So, you actually have your left shoe on before you've got your right sock on? Have I misinterpreted this?

[Prufrock]

I have none. Mainly coz they're fecking stupid.

[Prufrock]

They irritate the piss out of me too. Mainly coz people insist you *respect* them. Like religion, only worse, because at least that's about serious stuff. People go in the same box as those who read horoscopes or take vitamin supplements. 'Oh I thought you were intelligent. I must have been mistaken.'

Let's come back to this.

people insist that you respect stuff like the order they in which they put their socks on??

[Prufrock]

Yep! We had one lad who used to play football for us who would do his entire left leg, shin pad sock boot and tape before his right, which is fine, but he'd borrow your tape and take fecking ages and then get all defensive if you told him he was being stupid.

Mainly by 'insist you respect' I mean 'insist you don't disrespect' which I think here is a distinction without difference. People get all mardy if you call them idiots for them. Everyone has habits, but the idea that some cosmic bad thing might happen due to one's actions is a sign of narcissism, delusion and minor mental illness IMO!

you mean like this?

I think it's going to be an ace final. Nadal-Federer in '08 good. That's a big jinx to throw out but they are both incredible players playing incredibly well.

[Prufrock]

I've never denied being narcissistic, deluded or slightly mentally ill ! Not so much for that though, as I didn't actually believe it, and didn't make any actual life decisions based on it.

i suspect that most other people are the same in that they don't ACTUALLY believe it either...

those that DO seriously believe it - (unless I touch every tree someone in my family will die) ARE actually mentally ill - it's a form of OCD...

I still maintain we wouldn't have won the Sherpa Van v Torquay at Wembley if I hadn't talked a steward into selling me his programme.

I was on a 2 year streak of never seeing us lose away when I bought a programme. We were 0-1 down and there were none left. Daft to think of it now but I was under the stand trying to find one when I saw one folded in a stewards pocket. I swear as he handed it to me and I belted up the steps Jules slammed in the equalizer

We weren't away. It was played at a neutral venue. Your programme purchase don't count for shit.

[bobo the clown]

Well, I know we alwsys let one in when I switch the radio on to see how we're doing.

That's a fact.
