When he goes shopping for a frying pan and whops a fish out of his jacket pocket to see if it fits I'm easily amused but that had me in stitches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MNVillan Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 In our new house (first house Mrs MNVillan and I have ever owned) we created an awesome library room. Has bookshelves with all of our books, a TV, a couch & coffee table, and a fireplace (which gets used a decent amount, it gets cold in Minnesota). It’s a really great vibe that always makes me feel better after a long day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to moving my vinyl was in the attic, CDs spread around a couple of rooms, and books in another room. Now it's in one and I sit in there a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2021 The thing which made me laugh more than anything was an Only Fools and Horses moment. Not the falling through the bar which seems to be most people's highlight, but the Chandelier. I thought I was going to die laughing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Beach Boys pictures on your wall cant say much though, as we have our own rock n roll wall of fame in the living room.

It was a fairly early episode (with Grandad) so I would still have been a kid and definitely did not see it coming. Maybe that's why it's funnier for me than others.

It’s had two new handles and 3 new brushes or summat along those lines. The little moments like that used to crack me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s had two new handles and 3 new brushes or summat along those lines. The little moments like that used to crack me. It's a very, very old joke/riddle/thought experiment. Quote In one of the most iconic scenes in British television comedy, Trigger, the butt of so many ‘Only Fools and Horses’ jokes, proudly reveals that he has used the same road sweeping brush for his entire career. “This old broom”, he says “ has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles”. We, the audience, are laughing at his apparent stupidity long before Sid points out “how the hell is it the same bloody broom then?” But, on closer examination, Trigger is maybe not quite as daft as a brush (pardon the pun) after all. When Roman writer Plutarch published his ‘Life of Theseus’, he described how the Athenians had maintained the ship of their famous king in the harbour as a museum piece. Every year, Plutarch tells us, rotten planks were replaced with new ones such that, over time, every part of the ship had been replaced. So, was it still Theseus’s ship? (Yes, according to Trigger and, indeed, the Athenians!) If not, at what point did it cease to be his ship? It was, said Plutarch, a philosophical problem that had divided thinkers for generations. In my mind, a similar question arises in relation to the Cutty Sark which had to undergo major restoration work following a serious fire in 2007. How much of the original fabric of the ship would have to be replaced before it ceases to be the Cutty Sark or will it always be the Cutty Sark regardless of how much of it is replaced, like Trigger’s Broom? While I have got you thinking, I will leave you with this thought experiment posed by the Philosophy Foundation : if every wooden piece of Theseus’s ship had gradually been replaced over time by a metal part, could it ever be said that the eventual 100% metal ship was still Theseus’s?
