Mil Millington - what kind of grown up does that to their hair?

[morningpaper]

I mean it's REALLY red

It's terrible

What is he THINKING?

morningpaper, your affection for weedy wonson is making me find you less funny...

oh no

I do like his though

he would make a lovely pet

you can get pets put down, can't you?

this shade of dyed hair was really popular a couple of years ago in north germany and parts of france.
I havent seen so much of it lately, but that may be because I moved.

he would be nice on the end of a key ring

you could press his head and he would say something funny

I read the (weekend) Guardian/Observer religiously, so when I don't enjoy a columnist, I really can grow to hate them. So far it's just Ronson and that Ewan something bloke, but boy do I hate them.

Frances, MrNQC sincerely refuses to believe you are leering at him, by the way. As is his wont.

Well, he sometimes briefly thinks you are and gets Very Frightened Indeed.

(Oh, DS1 kept calling the mad Irish stalker friend/employee type person 'Frances' and said you two were much alike. I think he's just going by hair colour, though?)

A lot of the new columns are v. annoying

I hate the American Psyche, This Column Will Make you Happier, Love By Numbers, What MEn Don't Know About Women

Basically I just read Ronson and look at the gardening pages

I can stand those, and even sorta like American Psyche and Love By Numbers. Oh, I used to hate Barefoot Doctor, too.

"he sometimes briefly thinks you are and gets Very Frightened Indeed"

oh dear. I don't know whether to be insulted or ashamed. Shall I stop?

I am also offended that my liking for J Ronson doesn't make Aitch think I am less funny. The inferences I am drawing from that range from Bad to Really Very Bad

Apparently he doesn't get Very Frightened Indeed. He claims he was Confused.

I have explained that you are merely playing Gay Chicken, and he's become much more comfortable.

ah well, NQC, hating the barefoot doctor is really just due to a lack of kidney or qi energy.

it was always the sodding kidney energy...

Oh now, he's saying he's impervious to your advances, as he is still deaf from the drumming party. He says you'll have to move on to sign language and actual assault for him to notice.

I was so so happy when it turned out he was a lecherous evil self-justifying charlatan. Does that make me evil?

Um, it's not Mr NQC who's an evil lecherous etc. At least not as far as I know - just the Barefoot Doctor.

Mr NQC also adds: if he was going to have an affair, he'd have an affair with someone who wasn't on MN, so it would be someone who went to bed at a decent hour. (He clarifies: he isn't at all likely to have an affair.)

I always go to bed at a decent hour. And I have never made advances to him. Unless you count third hand compliments via his wife as making advances to him?

(WTF is Gay Chicken?)

He reads MN, so he sees the comments. And if he didn't, I'd tell him, because he believes nobody ever fancies him, ever.

Gay Chicken . It happened on Scrubs.

(I too think you are playing Gay Chicken, I don't think you are pining for Mr NQC.)

who is he?

MrNQC? Mil Millington? Jon Ronson? Louis Theroux? The Gay Chicken?

Seriously, if it's Mil Millington, there's a link below.

NQC

I am sorry to have to point this out but DH and I are NOT THE SAME SEX

apologies if this has come as a shock to you

So you don't play gay chicken then?

I meant it metaphorically. Surely you can play straight chicken, too?

gay chicken ahahahahhaahaha

new to me, very funny

Ooh get you with your fancy Gay Chicken metaphors

I will tell you one thing and this is no joke:

there are not many men who are really that much taller than me that I have to actually look up at them

having to look right up to talk to MrNQC makes me feel exceedingly girly and skittish

bang goes 100 years of feminism
