useless Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) The silence after a snowfall that is unlike the silence you might experience in the dead of night, is so because sound waves can't bounce of snow due to the gaps between snowflakes, like they would other surfaces, so the snow absorbs the sound.

I do love the stillness that being alone in a snowy place brings, it's almost spiritual. I love snow, but hate any other kind of cold/windy weather. It's snow or 22C heat, nothing else.

useless Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The only weather I really dislike is when the pavements are all icy, as I go sliding all over the place and am often taken suddenly from beneath my shoes. Snows not so bad, at least if you fall then, it's a soft landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Is it wrong I actually quite like Justin Bieber. He seems like a decent lad and some of his songs are quite catchy. He's also living the life I would if i was in that position - partying and nailing hot girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 No. But it's wrong that you should have to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking similar on the way home tonight when his song came on. Not a fan of the music but can't really say I'd do much different to him given the chance at the awesome life he has.

Can't stand him (mainly his music, the little I've heard anyway). But I would like his money and his women (not the fame though), so chalk part of that dislike up to envy. I never liked Justin Timberlake but then I saw him being interviewed and he was very self deprecating and seemed a decent sort. So you never know, Bieber could go the same way. However, his "belieber" comment in the Anne Frank House from a few years ago still grates with me a little.

darrenm Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 With all the idiots who seem to want to create a splat on the ground after climbing to the top of huge structures and filming themselves leaning over the edge and jumping about etc, why don't we hear of any of them falling off and creating said splat?

So he gets up at 4am every morning to turn it on so that it records the kids programmes for his little boy. FYI he's a **** moron and I hate him.

I could go on and on about what he does that pisses me off. Slurping his drinks, snorting, telling everyone how busy he is everytime he opens his mouth, calling emails "tweets", doing air quote marks when they make literally no sense, tucking his tie into his trousers. The list is endless. Just found out he doesn't have a company car. He's entitled to one. That's a Jaguar or a Land Rover and he'd only have to pay peanuts (relatively speaking) per month. He could also get Ford cars instead. That's fine. If he doesn't want one he doesn't want one. But apparently he'd like on but the reason he doesn't have one is because his wife hates JLR products.

tonyh29 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Saw Frankie Boyle in concert tonight , by and large he was very funny if a little opinionated on areas where he's clearly myopic ( and wrong ) but he's another comedian I've seen now where I spend most of the show laughing my head off and then can't remember a single gag by the time I get back to my car is it just me ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2016 Why a post containing many funny gifs in the funny gif thread will nearly always get far fewer likes than most posts containing a single gif. It's like the multi-post is only as strong as its weakest gif. But it's more than that. It's like the bombardment of imagery makes people just keep scrolling away and beyond the like button. Monsters. Anyway, I do regularly wonder that as and when I witness it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
