I wonder why people would put an angel on top of their tree. Bloody Christians coming over here stealing proper pagan festivals. You have to sacrifice a tree or spring won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I don't engage with drugs, just my imagination. I say I wonder about it when looking at a christmas tree, but it's usually inbetween closing my eyes and falling asleep when I think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've been watching some of Bear Grylls TV shows where he takes a special celebrity guest on an adventure through the wilderness and when they do things like rappel down a 250 foot cliff, or walk on a tightrope across crocodile waters, or climb a ladder dangling from an helicopter, I think 'I couldn't do that, I'm getting nervous just watching it', 'these celebrities are so much braver than me good on them'. But then I though what if Bear was to wake up and he suddenly found that he coud fly, most people would be quite happy, but for him would it take some of the sense of adventure out of his rock climbing/ outdoor pursuits, I mean would he feel a bit silly abseiling down a cliff face if he knew he could just float down. Suddenly traversing across tricky terrain would be like going for a walk and the challenge would be taken out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be a video game somewhere that comes close to that ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, the only reason potatoes are excluded from being one of your X a day is so morons don't think chips and crisps count as a portion of veg.

Genie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 As Prince Philip looks like he’s on his last days/weeks, will there be much fanfare, fuss, national days of mourning when he goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just channel hopping before bed, and that strange dating show show was on where they all get naked and reveal a bit of body at a time. WTF makes anyone want to show their cocks and clunges on national TV? The young bloke contestant didn't do very well, although he dodged a bullet by not picking the post-op transexual. It's cringeworthy...but we couldn't stop watching . Car crash TV at its finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there will be a fair amount of fuss. I remember how much there was when the Queen Mother died, at he's at least as important as her. Obviously nothing compared to when Liz pops it though.

peterms Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just wondering, has there ever been an instance of anyone using the odd word "humbled" of themselves, as in "I am humbled by...", where the writer isn't a total arse who is trying to draw attention to some trivial achievement or a bigging-up by some utter ballbag, ie not"humbled" at all, but trying to project their imagined magnificence across whatever platform is available? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #humblebrag coined by Harris Brittels (writer for Parks & Rec among other things.) It immediately makes me hate anyone that says it. It is rife in my industry (music - mainly classical.) A conductor dies and they'll be a litany of people posting "I was so humbled to have worked with this great conductor in 1987...." usually alongside a blurry picture of an orchestra which makes it obvious the conductor would have no feckin' idea who that 8th stand of the 2nd violins was. Trying to get reflected glory and a few likes of the dead is really a fitting analogy of what social media has brought out in humans living in the 1st world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
