What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elonve · 01-08-2007, 06:22 AM

Having to be a bridesmaid for a family-friend and the colour of the dress is a hideous bright pink that looks fine on her pale sister but awful on my olive complexion. And the material is shiny and sticks to your skin and makes my gluteus maximus(which I unfortunatley inherit from my mothers side...) look HUGE...

That'll be all...

Alas, the lot of many a young bridesmaid is to wear an excess of satin (a fabric that should have been banished to Mordor already) all in the noble cause of making the bride look better. One day, should you so wish, you will get to have your revenge by dressing your own bridesmaids in peuce sateen...

I'm assigning ITV which I dearly hope goes out of business soon as its programming is becoming truly sickening. Tonight we have had soap 'stars' (they are possibly 'stars' in Scunthorpe but that's it) 'singing' and pretending to be Shania Twain (I imagine Shania will be laughing her socks off), and Reality Begging. So at last, as the LCD TV set becomes a staple in homes across the nation, so does the LCD TV show (LCD meaning Lowest Common Denominator).

I assign to Mordor:

The bus ticket machine next to Marble Arch tube station that ate my last £4.

The train on the Jubilee line that had me in fear of my life with it's abnormal level of noise and turbulence.

The coffee machine in Belsize Park hostel that either gives you half a cup of coffee, or causes the coffee to overflow.

Airplane seats. Not the one I sit in, but the one in front of it!

I assign the situation that looks like being without a net access home the rest of my life. (Or at least as long as I live with my mum.)

Move to some friend who has a broadband connection...

Haha, a good idea. Though friends tend to want that I do something else than hang in the net.

Or maybe I could tell my mum: "If you won't get us a net access, I'll move to my father's place and it will be you who I'll be visiting on weekends."

Cold that chills you to the bone and does not go away, even when you get home.

I also assign more precisely windchills of -30 degrees and below (curiously enough, -30 C is almost -30 F... I won't bother with the exact conversion). Up to -20 to -25 it's ok... cold, but when the mercury closes in to -30 degrees it's when things start to get ugly
