No, seriously, don’t waste a nanosecond of your oh-so- precious time on this thread, it’s of no importance. Really.
(video not quite so heavy on the Uma)
Not too much passivity there
This one perhaps?
I may or may not find this annoying.
Just saying.
Whatever…
Some people probably think this is clever.
OI! Do you like f*****g ashram food, mush? Fancy a knuckle ciabatta, or what?!
Peace and Love.
This could be a really enjoyable You Tube fest. No clogging up of bandwidth, slow loading pages, or anything.
That’s if people contribute, which they don’t have to of course. It’s entirely up to them.
They may not want to because it was you that started it. Just saying.
Oh, okay. thanks for telling me. That’s…. really helpful to know.
Some people don’t know the difference between passive-aggression and sarcasm…
Just sayin’…
Let’s revisit “Back for Good” by ver ‘That.
What a kind voice Gary has! What a caring, sensitive song about reconciliation, understanding and forgiveness. Well…look a little closer at the kidney punches he lands under the guise of sensitivity:
“In the twist of separation
You excelled at being free…”
“Whatever I said, whatever I did
I didn’t mean it – I just want you back for good”
“Whatever – I’m wrong – just tell me the song
and I’ll sing it, you’ll be right and understood”
“I guess, now it’s time
That you came back for good”
Even though she’s been shagging around since they broke up, he wants her back. He can’t be bothered to understand why he might have been wrong in the past. For a quiet life, he promises that he’ll just agree to whatever.
Similarly Billy Joel – Just The Way You Are:
I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
He doesn’t address the central problem: He’s Gary Barlow.
A passive aggressive thread? Well, if you think that will make you happy …
Oh, being happy is far too much to expect.
Hmmm…….
I prefer The Zen Hack’s early demos.
I’m more of a Chuang Tzu groover, Mooseji.
(Non passive-aggressive interlude)
How y’ doing, Rob?
Oh yes, let’s hear about Rob. Don’t ask about how I’m feeling, whatever you do.
MAN HUG TIME.
Come here. Feel the lurve, Moosey. Lemme stroke your antler moss. Alright. Yeah… OW! COME ON BABY!
Well thanks Rob, I’m fine really. Honestly I am.
You sure? Cool. If you ever need to comb some baby otters, just shout, ok?
Well I normally use a brush, but you’re clearly more progressive.
I use my very own patented Rob C’s Accu-P-Comb, made from moon kissed hazel wood and atlantean sea urchin spines. Just the etheric ticket, dear heart.
You spoil those wee otterlets rotten. They’ll be wanting X-Boxes next.
I can’t wait for the communal isolation tank to arrive. Drop a couple of magick pakoras, googles on, and it’s showtime!
Get a room, you two…wot yer like?
Bit of a tough haul to be honest but sticking with it, getting there, staying positive, reading a lot, listening to a lot of music, and doing a lot of mantra, which is a great help. Next phase of treatment starting in a couuple of weeks and by the summer I’ll be fit and well again, and bopping the leys fantastic. I hope all is well with you Fitter.
Good to hear Rob (not passive-aggresive) either
Yes it is. I think this is The Active Kindness Sub-thread. I feel I should post something by Lorraine Kelly, but she hasn’t made any records.
Yet.
This might be a step in the right direction…
Cheers Hubes. Good vibes in return.
Sounds like a plan, Rob (positivity, reading, music, mantra) – I’m glad it’s working for you. All best wishes.
Watched Annie Hall last night, this made me laugh-

PS. Positive vibes, Rob. Hope it’s getting easier.
Thanks Pawsie. Astral High Five.
Handy beginners tip: when starting out, especially with longer mantras, write them clearly in large-ish capital lettering (black felt tip is ideal) and use a correct pronunciation phonetics if needed as well, on a sheet of A4. You can read and chant at the same time as doing your japa rounds. Pretty soon it becomes memorised and flows naturally!
I really must check out Greenslade on Spotify. Your avatar keeps reminding me. I’ve heard of them of course, but I’m not familiar with their actual output. I reckon they’ll do very nicely in my sonic wanderings.
They’re not very NHS though – bedside manners are extra.
Arf!
I gotcha! (After a Google).
Cool thread bro
“Look, love. Try to see it my way, or I’m effing off. Got that through that pretty little head of yours?”
This is the best passive-aggressive song I know!
Yeah….
….not that anybody cares, of course

Very enjoyable thread, Moose.
How about a little Malicious Compliance?? (following orders to the letter leading to negative consequences).
What a perfect name for a band! I’d buy their LP on the basis of their moniker alone!
I sometimes prefer these undiscovered niche threads.
This is The Thread That Everyone Forgets About… (or could be an Overlooked Masterpiece)
Controversial I know but…
