are sorely lacking in some quarters aren't they?
It makes me wonder how some ppl actually get to be in a position of authority when they talk to others like they're shit. [img]confused.gif[/img]

???? Oh dear feel I'm missing something or maybe it's better I do [img]wink.gif[/img]
It's just a general observation, Barb. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Yes I have just read a couple of topics where that applies, sad but very frequent these days [img]frown.gif[/img]
<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I suppose that when it's condoned by the powers that be then ppl will abuse it. Still, if it makes them feel big and important.......Quote:

Actually, it makes me wonder what these ppl are like in real life. Henpecked and underdeveloped (in ALL areas [img]wink.gif[/img] lol) I expect. [img]smile.gif[/img]
It usually stems from them having delusions of grandeur combined with an inferiority complex [img]wink.gif[/img] That and they have the emotional intelligence of an amoeba! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yep Terry its the sickening side of things. Abuse of power condoned by those in power... all a one big w-a-n-k fest!!

Given the person that I'm thinking about, that's an insult to amoebas the world over! [img]wink.gif[/img] More like the intelligence of a door knob in this instance.

Munches some more choccie!

Wonder if sometime Darren's version of Lost Without You maybe released to aid a charity or something?
<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That'd be amazing Barb. [img]smile.gif[/img] Perhaps the proceeds could go to the Hodgkins charity (I'm assuming that there is one?).Quote:

Nah Barb you cant let them beat ya down.. gotta feel good about what you feel good about. The fan politics drives me to drink and drives me away for sure.. but its good to feel something for a bit.
Kat
<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ahh! Fan politics. All those pathetic, insignificant ppl running around trying to look so very, very important. You gotta love their dedication though haven't you? [img]wink.gif[/img]Quote:

sometimes, when i think about it, the concept and fact that there are fan politics at all is freakin hilarious and you know why? Because ALL the power they hunger for and strive towards is imaginary! LOL It doesn't exist! People scheme and plot and backstab and betray for this invisible power and is it really worth the karmic shit they got themselves into to get it? They wanna get closer to Darren, they want Leonie's job, they want to be Darren's lover or his friend, they want to feel important and special and for some reason, this is the best way they can think of to feel that way. They've painted this lovely world where it's not good enough to have your life improved by Darren's music, oh no now the only way they can be happy is if they are with Darren, their contentment level is based on their proximity to him, as he was some sort of fireplace in the dead of winter! And he's just this crazy guy who happens to sing well! LOL As i said in another post, some people just can't see the forest for the trees. Or they are so caught up with one single tree that it hasn't occured to them that there is no forest, just that one tree! LOL
Placebo sums it up best in "kitsch object" *g*
"Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your luck is dying
Go and plant a tree
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
Slipped her way backstage
Paris sets the rage?
Close in on your prey
How I slipped away
Weightless
Bare
Faithless
Scared"
<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Very well put Steen.Quote:

thanks guys, that just kinda burst out of me heh heh [img]wink.gif[/img]
I must live with my head up in the clouds, coz I have no idea whats going on once again LOL
*gives Barb (and anyone else who wants it [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) some more choccie though*
Well put as usual Steen [img]smile.gif[/img]
Michelle
xx
greedily snatches choccie from Jen....my supply is empty.....will resort to the cooking choc bits next
[img]wink.gif[/img] [img]eek.gif[/img]
Well Steen you've just managed to get me again with that incredible wisdom of yours [img]smile.gif[/img]
Now I just have to wake up properly (yeah I know it's almost 2 p.m.....no excuse) and take it all on board and make sure everythings in perspective!
Hugs!!!
Steen's making sense (as usual [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol). [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
psst - It would appear that I was unjustly dealt with yesterday. [img]wink.gif[/img]
you are too kind my deary [img]wink.gif[/img]
i'd love if Terry would tell me this story in some form or another *ahem* *G*
thanks Michelle [img]smile.gif[/img]
*only has a really vague and general idea of what's going on here* *lol*
I agree with what you've said too Steen, people like that are sad because while they're caught up in being giggly obsessive fangirls; they're missing out on the rest of life.
As you said, missing the forrest for the trees.
And Terry, I'm sorry you've had to deal with these people.
