Hmmm, if you read everything I say in the tone of ben goldacre or charlie brooker or any guardian columnist it may seem different. I use 'swear' words differently to most people.

Also I don't see the point in talking about the things that make me happy...I like pointing out whats wrong with things.

To be honest, most of my friends point it out. A recent quote from one of my friends - "sam the essence of what you just said to me is 'i make some friends and get rid of them and then more turn up, what the fuck?'...you are an angry man"
But Charlie Brooker and Ben Goldacre sound angry as well, especially Charlie. It must be exhausting.

Then you and I have different measures of anger. Could i assume you see them as cynics as opposed to realists?

I see them both (and all of my ideological inspirations) as disapointed realists and trying to open peoples minds to what is going on. Something I try and do when faced with Tory types and when I see ridiculous things. Im not angry im just disapointed, but it comes with the territory as a secular humanist & a social libertarian....a lot is disapointing, its hard to not just become a nihilist.

Also if you think im angry, you should check my movie and music collection...its all good shit :D

Ever seen a barman grabbed by the tie, pulled over the bar and dumped face first on the floor?

That's happened before where I'm heading tonight.
Thats badass!

I have never heard of a barman being assaulted in modern times. I thought that only happened in the wild west saloons :lol:

I don't really know if I see them as either, I guess I don't think about it as much. I generally hold the same beliefs as they do, and as you seem to, but I'm more the person to laugh at things instead of get angry.

The guy who did it didn't even get banned. :D

The barman was a cock and the perpetrator was a decent guy, as was the manager who just laughed at the whole incident.

My degree is basically what they do for a job. Analysing how politicans and the public interact and its implications (its a bit more complicated than that but i cant be bothered to go into detail).
