THE BRITISH THREAD II

Steve is away, indeed - I hope he survived the result.

And I'm back, btw. :wink:

How was your gallic trip, Walter?

Magnifique.

We understand Walt that it has to be.

Otherwise you got suckered and that would never do now would it?

You could not possibly have wasted your precious time and a load of dough, which could have gone to an African charity, on a dead loss because that would prove you are daft.

So "Magnifique." fits perfectly.

When your wife asks "How do I look?" you have got to be very careful in how you reply. You have got to consider well, and you haven't got much time, because a pause is the wrong answer.

Have you noticed recently what a racket women make with their heels? Why do they think they can do this?
I was walking up Peter Street today, and behind me, BAM BAM BAM no thank you, ma'am it was a woman in high heels, nearly deafening me.
Have they no respect?

Recently I was in the library and BAM BAM BAM BAM, everyone was nice and quiet except Little Miss Piledriver. Don't they realise how loud it is, and why don't they care?

That's four question marks so far. And five questions.

"Mutton dressed as lamb" is the usual answer around here because I only mix with scientists and they report their observations without any subjective considerations.

So the question is rarely asked I should think.

Spendi - somehow I think you are talking a better game than you play here.

I have had my mind blown today.

It doesn't happen a lot although I must admit the intervals of sanity get shorter in inverse proportion to my capacity to walk home from the pub by the most difficult route on a scale of 10 to nought.

The British Thread is not the place to discuss the matter as it is of a purely scientific nature.

It is to do with the latest invention to reduce teenagers being a nuisance to more respectable people who have the jump on them in the polling booths due to the ineluctable modalities related to extending life expectancy.

I had my mind nearly blown only yesterday with the insight that the US Election is a movie designed to reduce unit costs on screen image time during periods when advertisements are not being shown. Or at least not obvious ones.

If you don't believe in irreducible complexity wait until you hear this one.

But it rightly belongs on the Science forum if I can get it all back together after a good night's sleep.

Mac-

If you see smorgsie tell her I have seen an Amy Winehouse concert and she's in the top bracket.

She's a lady Bob Dylan.

and greetings to Fiona!

I was under the duvet listening to the news on't telly (I have found out through various, extensive research onto telecommunications, that I can use the remote control through the duvet! I must email NASA! Or maybe I just need a new duvet - I WAS on the chilly side last night).

Anyways...

I'm sure I heard a report that said that either Manchester or Liverpool was the most 'googled' city in the world!

So I thought I would google the google fact. Couldn't find it! Nor could I find it on the BBCnews website??? Did I dream it?

I did find out that 'sex' is the most googled word in Islamic countries. Go figure?

Spendy, you never cease to amaze me.

An anally-retentive old fuddy-duddy like me might have difficulty seeing the artist wrapped as she is in a tattooed, beehived, suicide-haired, drug-abusing, flamboyantly over-made-up package like that, but not you.

I doff my cap to you, sir.

My God, there's Smorgs. You can tell her yourself.

You leave Amy alone, muckty!

She's very vulnerable right now...

Her local in Camden has just burnt down.

Besides, what did Scotland ever give us?

Bloody Lulu?

Bloody Kenneth Whatever - where's his troosers?

x

The Alex Harvey Band, the Average White Band, George Chisolm, Jack Bruce, The Massed Pipes and Drums of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Nicola Benedetti, Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor, and Matt McGinn.

Hey and by the way, my statement was in favour of Amy, if you read carefully.

You buggered up your quotes there, Muckty...

And now I've replied, so your McError is carved in cyberstone.

...forgot about The Average White band!

Okay, 1 to you.

I nearly reported that someone uses my dearest smorg's avatar ...

You do know what the pink heart symbolises don't you Walt?

Did the Christian dispensation invent that symbol or can it be found in other cultures?
