lol. Considering his size and mass, he must be consuming no less than 200 bleaching gel tubes a month. Or the equivalent of 8,000 bleaching cream bottles a year. what a waste of our national and state funds . |
@dgreatrock, never mind ok, I'm sure it was just an honest typo .@illie, it's nice when you jump to my defence , but I'm sure dgreat means no harm------ just no take style drive all my readers na . |
Lol @ duduspace. Not even that! You might as well give up and wish us well instead of DJ'ing that ur broken record |
@frank 3.16 u don't have to get discouraged. People actually might be reading ur story but can't be bothered to post their views. I was just very impressed with the way u started and the sensitivity in your writing style especially when handling the romance areas. I would love to have the whole book to read, but if you prefer, I could follow ur progress on NL.Either way I'm sure it would be an enjoyable ride. Cheers . |
@frank 3.16, Finally got round to finishing it. I like the way you are taking your time, though some would have preferred you summarize it for the benefit of the thread. But I don't mind your pace, it reads just like a real book should. I really enjoy the human angles to the romantic section(Michael, Brenda and co.) and then the Nimrod section is good too. Take your time and make it work, it's really worth the time it took for me to finish reading it . |
One of the main reasons Alexandra Burke won, from what I hear, is her personality. Unlike the other contestants who, behind the scenes, can be so arrogant and love to complain, Alex was known to be very humble and never made noise about what ever she was given/told to do. As for Rachel, I admire her a lot, especially after hearing that she did very well at college and her friends say that though she was a tomboy and hardly had any "toasters", she's fun and had many friends. Bookies a\re pputting great odds on her to win, especially after Alexandra backed her in the press. So, @ Kenny G, let's not worry about black people voting for her; if Alex could win, then nothing can stop a true winner, what ever his/her colour. And as for Kandy Rain - they would have taught Dannii and Cheryl, even all of us ladies - a thing or two about "sexy". This show is losing a lot of fun already, hope it won't start to get dull with all the goody-goody people they have left . |
@mohawkchic, for some reason I didn't watch much TV this weekend, just snatches here and there of Strictly and X-F. I keep up with the gossip though, and it's crazy how the "paki" comment by Anton is getting him some flack!! Heard he didn't have his first girlfriend till he was 40 (that's three years ago). Looks like he has some poor social skills . Well, I'll be watching recorded episodes of our two fave shows and do a proper analysis of the actual dancing and singing pronto . |
@ mohawkchic---lol about the "muppet twins". What a season it's turning out to be . Don't have much to say except that it's going to be one crazy next few months. Who do I think will win?? Definitely one of the girls. Who I want to win? One of the over-25s, preferably Olly cos I can see him on an album. Jamie Afro gets my sympathy vote though . |
@ill2, the question is, who cares?!?? Lol, sing it with me illie ----"Nothing you can say can tear me away from my club, my club . . . ."![]() **ynwa** |
Good question, mohawkchic, about the song choices. Everyone was ok, yes even Miss Frank, though I'm sorry I wasn't happy with the Smokey song, I mean, come on, this is the First Live Show, they should have brung it!! Grazielle is outshining the others and she's clearly the public's favourite. I like her a lot more than the other two myself. Let's hope her charisma pulls them thru (she has enough for all three of them!! )I know many of you will eat me raw, but I saw Danyl's performance on the X-F site and I didn't like it. Poor song choice, poor performance. Even Jamie and my sweety Lloyd did not do the live stage justice. I hope they get better with time .As for my best of the night, once again, it's Ollie!! I love Robbie Williams, and that song (She's The One) is my song of the decade!! Ollie pulled it off big time!! (He even squeezed in some hot dance moves!!) I hope he wins/goes far in the comp. I'm sorry but Danyl is not as perfect as all of you think. I love him and Jamie but they'll stay mostly because of Simon's major clout and the public's love for their big bad boys . |
LOL. Goodnight . |
@mohawkchic, I would have been on here from the minute I saw Rachel Adedeji's performance!! But I ended up not finishing the show, my last performance was Jamie Afro before I had to go out!! That said, I'll try and watch the whole thing again before I make some real comments. Meanwhile, I've been reading and hearing enough to state that: Rachel was not well styled. Her makeup and hairdo need a re-assessment by her wardrobe/face people!! She looked more memorable when she auditioned: she was herself!! (But damn, Simon was mean!! But what else is new??) Danni and Cheryl on my girls (Kandy Rain) Louis said it best when he stated that the world was ready for a new sexy girl group!! I saw nothing wrong with their get-up: it was sexy to the hilt, yes, but not over-the-top like Cheryl and Danni were implying. If they had come out in demure, buttoned-up floor-sweeping gowns, people would still complain!! Even call them pretenders!! So the girls just stuck to what they know. (And by the way, they sang very OK!) Danyl and Danni Danni has a very unlucky knack of saying the wrong thing at the wrongest of times!! I'm hearing she's in hot soup now for what I can only call a "stupid" comment. Even I don't know what point she was trying to make, but she was obviously just being mean to Simon thru Danyl, because Simon had been bashing everyone else's acts all night! I'm afraid this season will be a War of the Judges, not a competition for the actual singers!! The producers have to stop Simon and Co. before one of them walks off the show!!(Cheryl looked really pissed at him for telling her off over Kandy Rain!!) Sorry for all that, guys. Imagine if I watch the whole show, my so-called "comment" might span two NL pages!! Don't blame me, tonight's show was sooo great, esp when OLLIE sang "She's The One". His was my best of the night!! |
Cool, @mohawkchic. You know how we do !! |
Don't mind that C2P (@mohawkchic, why did you nice his name up like that, he's big-headed enough already!!) He's turning into a maedan-mohawkchic-police !! |
^^^ Sorry for that but you'll have to get used to it because of your beliefs . But you are always welcome around here that's why I said they might drag you back (so no need to "walk away forever" ) Hmmn, maybe I have a feeling I can win you over to our side . Just an idea . |
LOL @ mohawkchic----had to state categorically that I actually saw a gentleman ( ) who wore those blue briefs showing "the respectable two inches" above his sagging jeans." So no, I wasn't just talking . I didn't find the view distasteful at all, in fact it was quite cute . (Eat that, @chic2pimp ) |
Rotfl!! Let me conclude our sagging "discourse" by saying that I have seen some tasteful/respectable sagging(if there's such a thing ) whereby the wearer displayed two inches or so of his blue cotton briefs . So you're right, the knee-length sagging level is out of the question; who needs a whole view of some strange guys bottom(clean boxer shorts or no ) Not me!!! ![]() |
@internetpo, I'd be honoured to get a copy . I honestly liked the chapters you posted, the vital way you described the scenes and its characters. I actually would look forward to a continuation. What matters is that your story has promise and that in itself is a rare and valuable thing. Keep it up. |
Aaaw, thanks plenty for that .I hope them dgreatrock and semid don't drag u back again . |
@OP Seriously, play some Banky W. Past and present. Highly recommended . |
Lol @ age consideration . Like I once said, it only fits some people. I see young chaps get away with it (white and black) on the streets everyday and pull it off well without being an eyesore (maybe because they wear some kind of cotton briefs and not boxers. The boxers sag is soooo eeew-inspiring ) ![]() |
Ok sir . |
^^^Nice. Read only a bit because I have to sleep, but I'll be coming right back tomorrow to finish it !! Michael sounds so nice and I already like him lots! Hope he gets a fair chance with the babe.Lol @ the comments on my "error-free" story. I take care while I'm typing at the start to spare me the stress of proof-reading after I finish. I hate proof-reading and I'm sure you do, too. But I was enjoying your story too much to notice any serious errors, so do what you do and get the story out as fast as you can, or else ! |
^^^That's one hot pot of soup!!! The taste of the ogbono is in the eating, so we have to believe you about the "sweet no be small". At least you tried for wanting to share it with us . |
^^^^Indeed. You've said that already, like three times. But once anyone just winds you up again, you'll rise to the bait one more time . Never you mind, keep doing your thing as I try to do a little of mine . |
Lol. But you know that some fellows for some reason just omit to wear belt - not out of any "homeboy" sagging trend. It would be a shame for the innocent ones to be bagged along with the unrepentant "saggers" . |
@OP, forget the beans idea . It would have worked if you were like three years old and you were grown on the stuff. By now you would have been like 8ft . However, there are many fashion tricks out there to help you get away with what ever height you're blessed with. Vertical striped tops, tailored trousers etc---a good pair of high heels wouldn't hurt either . Smart dressing and confident carriage will do wonders for your over all look. Good luck. |
@dumodust & igbo-boy(my sincere readers . The story is finished but to actually post it here is the issue. We-ell, that is if @dgreatrock, ogaga4luv, semid4lyfe etc will let us be . |
@mohawkchic, whose wild idea was it to make sagging an offence ?? So if someone forgets to wear belt and gets caught he'll be fined for "sagging"?? Seriously, come on ! |
@dgreatrock & co., no wahala . In fact I go soon dash una the topic to use as you see fit . |
^wow, thanks for sharing that, I would never have known there was a valid reason for the "sagging" phenomenon. |
