Stuff you've thought of but it's too dull for conversation

Love that Dylan. Especially the ventilation system 😅

After about 20 years of being on this place (in the fantasist world of sonyc - even though recently holding the heavy responsibility for Health for the Pink Un Cabinet) these are my takes. I might add to them later. Feel free to add your own (and I'm sure "righties" (ok, I've never seen that term might add their own).

1

After exchanging 3 posts each in an argument on a thread, Poster A will call Poster B stupid, or claim that they are clearly insane. This must derail the thread started quite reasonably by another poster with a quite different and enquiring question. The argument must take at least 3 pages. Rinse and repeat. Threats to block end the argument. This threat has a coverall using the F word in the a final line of said post.

2

Boris Johnson is just a joker. We shouldn't take him seriously so there's no real damage.

3 

Trump was the world's best disruptor and knows more than any of us (the famous philosopher, Jools the First)

4

Whenever arguments take place the universal answer, the answer to every point of contention, is always electoral reform. 

 5

Liberal thinkers are "lefties" and are all Marxists, woke, snowflakes and are often "Remoaners". They are the people entirely responsible for the problems in the UK. Further, they can't get over anything - the bast4rds. The word "socialist" will do for them.

 6

Idealists are stupid people because they've learnt nothing in life and they clearly live in an unreal world. See 'socialist' above. Ditto anyone 'Green'. Green is the best word for idealists.

 7

Football teams lose games but for Norwich City it is either the fault of Delia, or the manager, or the Sporting Director or Kenny. Sometimes it is all of them. Replacing them all is always the answer.

8

"Ah but Corbyn!" The answer to any accurate attack on the Tories. For those with longer memories "Ah but Blair". 

 9

Scotland and Wales are not really nations when it comes to football. Or about anything. The Scots are good as a butt for a joke and the Welsh are sheep lovers and further, every person from Liverpool must be a thief.

10

That's made my day thank you! 

Number 4 is very funny indeed but I'm sure it's not aimed at anyone in particular. 

Number 5 sounds a bit like me. It's all my fault and I'm sorry. 

Number 2 - we will have the dubious pleasure of finding out tomorrow at 2.00pm 

Number 10.  Kenny?

You're welcome. 

 

I think No.4 is actually all of us. When we get tied up in knots about anything political it's a way of finishing an argument or finding a lovely safe haven....an "ah Bisto" moment if you like. We can just say "of course if we changed our electoral system then...." Works every time for each of us because other posters will agree and we can go back to our plebian lives with not one thing having changed in our fixed minds. Lovely jubbly.

And No.10 could also be Electoral Reform too come to think about it more.

@sonycyou are the Health Person and I now run screaming from the room at the mention of Electoral Reform. Please arrange a prescription and if there is anything else you can recommend to chill me out I'd appreciate it.

Is it mild dyslexia that means I find the word carp amusing?

I wouldn't worry. I have problems with b and d and had to write 'bad and doubtful debts' in my accountancy exams. 

So I quite agree that Carp is funny. 😂

The UKs biggest selling carp fishing magazine? That's incredibly specific. How many different ones are there?

Do you know I hadn’t even considered that. Total Trout would be nice alliteration. Or maybe Trout Times? Then you could have Practical Pike… I could go on, but better hadn’t.

Actually, now I am worrying that I misunderstood you. Did you mean that there might be “Most of the Carp”, one of the UK’s reasonably well-selling carp fishing magazines, along with “Not Very Many Carp”, one the UK’s worst selling carp fishing magazines?

Shocking. Meanwhile, in other news, the Daily Heil has invoked the Human Rights Act to protect the identity of staff who hacked into Elton John's phone. Allegedly. 

[dylanisabaddog 5,165]

Back to the main point of the thread. 

Why do we get ingrowing toenails but not ingrowing fingernails? 

And more to the point, why do we have toenails? What useful function do they perform ? Apart from amusing the dog when it treads on them first thing in the morning 😱

And another thing. I watched Deadwood last night. Highly recommended BUT, why is it that the characters in a series set in 1850's America all have perfect teeth?

And indeed the teeth of prisoners held in dungeons on pirate ships on the marshes in Great Expectations. Thought that English teeth were supposed to be the worst too.

I would hazard a guess that even for a method actor, having 3/4 of your teeth removed is a step too far?

If technology is so far advanced  in Star Wars, why do the characters dress in medieval clothes ?

[Mr Angry 1,582]

I opened a bottle of milk this morning-unscrewed the plastic top, but the tab on the foil seal broke off as it had got stuck to the underside of the bottle top, leaving me to tear off the seal with my teeth-very annoying

I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars films but I believe that they are set in the past:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

An American politician is trending on twitter because his name is Keith R Swank. It is not a made up name.

He who smelt it dealt it.

Invariably on the receiving end of most personal accusations, but it's me gaslighting as well apparently. Classic.

I watched that Luther film on Netflix last night but when it got the end and the bit where all the people were trapped under the ice I kept thinking of Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer.

Is it worth watching?

Not as good as the TV series but it's worth watching.

I agree. Being a film, it hasn't got the slow burn of the series.

What is the point of a garage being pay at the pump by card when it's only open when the supermarket is anyway? 

[benchwarmer 625]

At its worst, the infamous London Smog of the early 1950s killed over 10,000 people in three days.  It occurred in winter and was caused mainly by domestic coal fires combined with static high pressure weather systems. 

But wait!  Domestic coal fires had been around for a century or more, but smog had never been as bad as this.  Why?

After two world wars the UK was bankrupt.  Coal was nationalised.  So to try and improve the balance of payments the best coal was reserved for export, leaving UK households with poor quality stuff which produced much more smoke.

Who'd have thought it?

The Orville. Science Fiction, Star Trek type TV series on Disney...

Great stories, humour and brilliant CGI special effects especially the various spaceships. But the shuttles they use for outside spaceship activities are just a bit crap...

You’ll need to click through to Twitter to see these, so apologies to those who don’t have access…

A share from Twitter.

If you go and see the Tetris movie make sure you leave an empty seat in each row of the cinema.
