Things that you just can't get your head around

[BadFish]

It's a mystery isn't it? My daughter will regularly dissolve into floods of tears while jumping and whirling like a Dervish and shouting "I AM NOT TIRED!". 30 seconds later she'll be out cold.

Talking of which no higher being would also have made it so hard for certain people to procreate versus others ostensibly more suitable. Who is it that made sex so attractive to 16 year old ginger tubbies in track suits who's entire sex education has been 5 minutes of Debbie Does Dallas and yet makes certain other British types cringe with embarrassment if they exchange eye contact?

She must be further evolved than mine, they just continue with the whirling dervish business until they get put screaming to bed.

Some idiot doing about 60 mph round Kings Cross yesterday morning. They drove through probably the biggest puddle in London soaking my jeans completely. My reaction was to scream "You fcking w@nker!" and sticking two fingers up as they sped past. The people near me and across the road thought I was a crackhead with my aggression.

 

[Peteinblack]

People who read The Daily Mail - and believe their bile.

 

[Peteinblack]

Teenagers and young women (it IS young women who are guilty of this) who sit in a pub on a Friday/Saturday night and spend the whole evening texting or checking their Facebook page via their mobile phone, all the while ignoring the real life friends who are sat a few inches away from them. WTF!

Why not go for a drink with the people you're texting instead? DOH!

The one that gets me worked up even thinking about it is "how did time even begin".

Even typing this I'm getting fidgity feet under the desk.

Basically how was there ever a 'beginning' of time. There must have been a time before time. And a time before that.

I just can't physically understand how everything began.

Again, to paint a picture for you, my typing has become FRANTIC and i'm WIGGLING in my chair with frustration.

How companies can get away with showing pictures of their food products that look ten times as good as the product itself. McDonalds are a prime example.

You lost me when you related McDonalds to "Food products"

.... but, part from that, I agree wholeheartedly with your point.

Are you sure you're worried about time? Time for a pee, perhaps? Or something a little more, ahem, satisfying?

As right as that is, wouldn't it be easier (no) to name a company that isn't guilty.

KFC. Looks about as shite as it tastes. I know that I'll be in a minority with this view.

It actually makes you feel a bit ODD, doesn't it? Like your brain is a computer that's come up against something that's illogical to it.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I know. I've sought medical advice, but to no avail so far. I've been referred to the consultant (well, Colonel, to be more accurate). Hopefully s/he'll be able to cure me.

 

[Nibble]

I like fast food every now and again, I even quite like the evil lord of them all McDonalds but KFC is disgusting.

Funny that, out of all fast food KFC is about the only one I like. Apart from the one in Burgess Hill which is rank.

They do; that's how they communicate nowadays.

Time doesn't exist. It's a human invention...

 

[mac04]

I'm sure it is. I don't really think it's a sensible business model to take the p*ss openly of your customer base.

EDIT: And originally being a French company, why would they choose to do it in another language?

RE: the Evian/naive thing - isn't "naive" originally a french word?

I think that it's wrong to use our scale of time when considering life, the universe and everything. I believe that we, that is, our universe from the "big bang" to the "big crunch", is just an event, like a soap bubble forming and bursting, in a far greater scenario, which in turn is part of something far bigger, ad infinitum. Conversely there are, probably, universes within us and all living matter, constantly forming and dying, right down to to the size of quarks. But then again, I could be wrong.

My slavish loyalty to the Albion: I struggle to work that out.
