A silly thread

Big cats

From time to time one gets reports about panthers or other big cats being loose in the UK, as here. A chap I know says he saw one near here a couple of years back and he's certainly no idiot.

Another report here even says that Leopards and Pumas may be breeding in the British countryside. (Lefties, have your epipen ready before clicking that link, it's The Daily Mail!)

Gives me a great idea. I get so pissed off with going for a nice lounge in my garden and then some damn neighbour starts up his motor mower or strimmer. If I reported seeing a tiger nearby and faked a photo of it maybe I could get all those bar stewards to stay indoors and I could get some peace.

Reading a thread in the main forum and SE mentioned Sky Fairies.

We think we have a problem with religious extremism today but it's nothing compared to what will happen when it all kicks off between the believers in Sky Fairies and the believers in Flying Spaghetti Monsters.

Political football

Have played a bit in the past but I'm not interested in watching football.

Just as well I'm not into football really, if I was manager there's no way I'd have a left winger in my team. It would have to have two right wingers.

I daresay some leftist managers wouldn't want right wingers in their team and would have two left wingers. Matches between left and right wing teams would be pretty boring, they would just be running past each other unchallenged.

A match between far left and far right teams would be even worse, the wingers would not even be on the pitch. What if a Nazi team played a communist team? The wingers would not be inside the stadium. If somebody passed the ball to them they would have to pay at the gates to get back in before they could receive it.

Football ain't what it used to be

Football is not what it used to be according to Wikipedia:

The skill of dribbling the ball is seen much less in modern football matches than in the first half of the twentieth century. This observation is often noted with regret by fans of the game who were familiar with older styles

We can easily address that problem. Stop this ageism of having all these young fit players! If there were more senile old codgers playing we would have a lot more dribbling!

Think it was good old Shakespeare that invented the phrase "The Bowels of the Earth". So if the Earth has bowels, what does that make a volcano?

Maybe Boots has something to prevent these occasional natural disasters.

As I said earlier I often scribble down ideas for stories or blog posts and then can't read them. Trouble is, even when I can read them, I can't see what I had in mind, like this one:

Cereal cheese torch battery thread cream

Any ideas?

Oh hang on, that's my shopping list!

Keep calm

We stand together
We will never give in to terror
We will not be cowed by terrorism
We will overcome it
We will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient and relentless
We will not be cowed by terrorism (you just said that)
Peace and love will prevail



Well said froggy!

You could have caused me to blow my brains out BP!

At least you would still be less cretinous than assguru.

I daresay some leftist managers wouldn't want right wingers in their team and would have two left wingers. Matches between left and right wing teams would be pretty boring, they would just be running past each other unchallenged.

I'm not interested in football, but is it not the case that your right is my left?

In other similar logic, someone pointed out to me that a clock's hands actually turn anti-clockwise.

[xoggoth]

but is it not the case that your right is my left?

Logic is not permitted in this thread, especially from somebody who clearly has all her clocks facing the wall! Ban please admin!

Although it is very inclusive of you to see things from a clock's viewpoint. I can see my monitor is wondering why I keep typing backwards.
