50 Things We Know Now (We Didn't Know This Time Last Year)

Interestingly, if you spend any time scanning the new posts on a daily basis, a good majority of the items on their list were thread starters here on A2K in the past year.

Well done, news hounds!

Whoa! #50 is a doozy!

This time last year I didn't know that the favourite would win the big race on Boxing Day. I only think I know it won't win the Gold Cup next March.

I also didn't know that a great nation would treat three fine ladies like Mrs Clinton, the First Lady-elect and the one from Alaska whose name I can't recall, in the manner in which it did. It was as if gallantry could go walkies in the interest of a higher calling.

Men with rounded faces, soft jaw lines, thin eyebrows, bright eyes, small nostrils, large mouths, thin lips, a warm, bright complexion and no facial hair are considered the most trustworthy, according to "modern-day facial stereotyping."


Hmm. No wonder people give me dirty looks so often.

I certainly didn't know that this time last year Ed. I had always thought that blokes answering to the description you have given were the most low-down, devious skunks it is possible to imagine.

I myself have a longish face, inflexible jaw lines, thick eyebrows curling up at the corners, eyes like piss-holes in the sawdust, flaring nostrils, average mouth, average lips and a somewhat sallow and nervously expectant complexion and a bushy beard.

Am I to take it that "modern-day facial stereotyping" , who or what that is, is a credible source which we can trust.

I think that a guy who stands at a mirror every morning scraping his face with a sharp blade, and looking every bit the sap he is in the process, might just be doing it so he can go to the Either Way Up Club once a week. There is vanity all over it. Especially when there's a moustache involved. So I don't go with your source. It was flattering its audience. Giving the egos a blow-job. Tried and tested. It sells.

One has to wonder why they feel the need to be told they are trustworthy again and again.

I get black looks too.

Our Father always has a beard.

Please give me the name of someone who fits this description -

I have Drew Carey in mind, but I really don't trust him. Then there's The Donald - and no way would I trust him!

And foot melanoma has me scared!

Ye gads!

Investing in Lehman Brothers wasn't the best idea I've had.
