caffiend · 18th October 2008, 14:11

Cheers for the heads-up

Now to plan the stalking in the vain hope that I can bottle some of his genius. I hope he does a few talks or something. I'd be there with tintinnabula on.

The best thing Stephen Fry's done is when he talked about how "beautiful" the Koran was in V for Vendetta when a few pages later it probably was advocating his brutal death as a homosexual.

Oh and his work in Blackadder Goes Forth is also good.

Was in First Scene today getting a costume for a masquerade Ball. Was very surprised at the amount of guys getting excited about wearing womans clothes. One guy and his wife were arguing because he insisted on wearing fishnets while she said he didn't need them.
One chick (hot body, butter face) was trying on a nurse outfit, she didn't close the curtain and you could see everything as she bent over. Outfit was a tad too short and didn't cover her g-stringed arse.
Awesome place to look through though.

Did anyone else ever accidentally call a schoolteacher Mum or Dad?

Someone on SA mentioned doing it a couple times and it reminded me that when I was 16 I repeatedly called my horticulture teacher Dad by accident. I found it hugely embarrassing but he seemed to be amused by it.

crocos · 19th October 2008, 12:12

Does getting detention for calling a physics teacher I didn't get on with "Old man" count?

yeh I think most people would have at some point, I remember doing it when I was like 11-12.

Mickey · 19th October 2008, 12:37

When I taught 5 yr olds it happened all the time. Got called Mum lots. I didn't mind it but when my own daughter heard she cracked a fit.

Nah, because I never called my parents mum and dad. I did call a nurse [who looked after me in hospital when I was six] my mother's name a few times though. She sounded exactly like my mother, down the slightly 'squishy' consonant sounds my mother had left over from her accent back then. It was awful, because I was terribly homesick, and my heart leapt every time I heard her voice, and it was generally the nurse.

My mother was a reliever at the Primary I went to, and occasionally she took my class. I believe I used to call her 'mum' when she taught us.

Does anybody know whether it's legal to ride dirt bikes on the road? Some assholes in the neighbourhood have dirt bikes and ride them up and down the street, mostly without helmets. Dirt bikes are loud. This weekend it sounds like they've been going around and around in circles and the harassing noise is driving me nuts. I'm thinking of calling the local cop shop tomorrow, but apart from the no helmet wearing, I don't know if what they're doing is illegal.

CCS · 19th October 2008, 17:12

If they don't have the usual shit like license plates, headlight, brake light, indicators etc, then I would think their bike is not legal on the road.

If they are registered then they are allowed to ride on the road. To be registered it needs to have a numberplate, warrant and rego sticker. I complained about something similar to our local police (adult was riding with a toddler, neither had a helmet, they went up and down continuously) and they didn't care. No one came to visit and check it out.

correct. iirc, and according to fair go i think it was, even little powered scateboards need license plates. fair go went through the whole numberplating a skateboard thing.

similar for forklifts - they must be plated, not to mention a driver's cert & endorsed drivers license to go in public accessible places.

ring your local and ask to speak with communications. they might ask why, just tell them.

chiquelet · 19th October 2008, 18:07

Thanks folks, pretty sure there are no plates but I'll have a proper look next time I hear it (which will be in a few mins probably). I know the people have been involved with the police because a month or two ago one of the bikes was involved in a police chase up my street. Keep you posted.
