Not lately but they used to be fairly leathery in the past. The backs of my ankles were like crocodile skin at one point.

You never thought about harvesting it and making handbags?

Are sticks of chewing gum a thing of the past?

Seems to be all the hard-shelled type now.

And along with it - can you not buy Wrigley's Juicy Fruit or Spearmint/Peppermint any longer either?

Extra and Airways are the gum du jour these days.










My problems are small - aren't they?  :laugh:

Amazon for the win with the Wrigleys stuff but I hate that I have to use them for something as basic as decent chewing gum! Predictably the sticks are smaller though which might be one for the peeves thread!

Driving along today, not up to much, and Jamiroquai were on the radio. And it just reminded me of how much I hated them, or him. With his spasticated hats and his silly little dance. I'm not sure why they rile me up so much, but at once stage the sheer hatred got so intense, I had to let out an almighty roar. I think I probably hate Jamiroquai more than any one person, or even thing for that matter. But yet at the same time, it's rare enough that they cross my mind. Anyway...

Actually, now that I think of it, I did end up at a house party years ago after a night on the yokes. Lines of coke started to come out and I can remember this chick turn to me and say "they're so good" in reference to Jamiroquai playing in the background. I think I realised then that coke wasn't for me, nor were the people that took coke my kind of people. And worse than that, I'm pretty sure I agreed with her because she was easy on the eye and I was too polite to say otherwise

Jaysus, that's virtual insanity lad.

I don't think there's any sort of coke that could have me liking Jamiroquai. I wouldn't blame the powder for that. He fuckin fries the head off me any time I think of him as well tbh I'm just after picturing his shit there and yeah fuck him from a great height


It's the cockiness that accompanies his complete lack of talent that does my head in. Thankfully he seems to have disappeared, so that's something.

I never knew much about jamiroquai other than I didn't like his clothes when he was on the TV 20 odd years ago.

But, I was tripping on shrooms in a forest a few years back, virtual insanity came on and I thoroughly enjoyed it

All this Jamiroquai chat has me remembering the Fast Show sketch about 'Jeremy Kwee' 😂🤣

And here was me thinking that a bad trip was just a state of mind but it turns out to be a real thing. Wait until I show you some cool stuff like Limp Bizkit.

Actually still Jamiroquai.. jaysus lol

Edit: that looks like it came across a bit too cool for school and it wasn't meant like that it's just I've never heard anyone say that before, that Jamiroquai was acceptable or anything like that and I didn't know how to react other than to display my own insecurities as a riposte.

Young lad asked me why my elbows look red and weird the other day. He didn't even wait for me to reply before saying, "Because you're old and you fart?" I mean, don't ask me a question if you already know the answer!
