CarolAnn 926 Posted March 5, 2010 Isn't it better to spend some energy explaining how it works here instead of mocking his lack of knowledge of the site. No - if he/she looks around there's plenty of places to get information here. We are equal opportunity jerks, however, and we pretty much treat everyone who's this clueless this way - even each other. My list of things to do this weekend starting Friday @ 3:45pm (in no particular order): Fill Jeep (if this doesn't happen nothing else happens lol) Gym (Friday night/Sunday morning) Pick up two cocker spaniels from groomer Clean cocker spaniels' ears (those that weren't groomed on Friday) Bake bread for next week Mop kitchen floor (desperate task) CCFA walk kickoff luncheon Saturday @ 11am - me, S, R, M Bake and decorate birthday cake for Mom Make reservations for family at Gloria's Salvadoran Restaurant Craft store to buy beads Make Mom a new bracelet for her medic alert tag Birthday party for Mom Sunday night! HOORAY!!!!! Hey - it's the only list I had handy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted March 5, 2010 Oooo, can I play? My list of stuff to do - Have a piss - I've been stewing one since 3.30pm. Be a taxi. Be an eco-warrior by driving my big fat Renault to the recycling centre and getting rid of three hundred-weight of Blackthorn cans. Wash some clothes. Clean out the guinea pigs. Swear loudly because I forgot to clean the pigs BEFORE going to the recycling centre, thus having to either 1) go back to the recycling centre or 2) leave a bag of humming shit in my garage for a week. Go to Wilko to buy some post-it page tab things. Buy one of everything in Greggs. Find a camera cable for my dad. Find a DVD suitable for an 11 and 12 year old, which doesn't contain Australian teenagers and which won't bore the fucking pants off me. Order a Chinese. (Takeaway, not person) Produce an essay on European law. What a rivetting life I do lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted March 5, 2010 I think you are behaving rude on me. Shouldn't that be, "I do believe that many of you have acted harshly towards me!"~~?

A very interesting idea, launched in the Netherlands several years ago - never heard of it again ever since - was to attach a neon sign that could show texts at the back of the car. If you should have anything to say to someone that cut you up, was tailgating, speeding or just being a plain ar**hole, this gadget would enable you to express your feelings. A more civilized way of giving your fellow travellers the finger, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Civilized, yes, I suppose - but not half as satisfying as holding down your horn for 45 seconds with one hand while giving a vigorous w***er's shake of the wrist a la Gareth Hunt with the other. * For our less English readers, Gareth Hunt was a bloke who was in a coffee advert years ago, and took a handful of coffee beans and shook them in the same way as one might while 'relaxing in a gentleman's way'.

Tomb raider 9 Posted March 8, 2010 By 2060, all will be dead. The United States of America? I watched two Michael Moore movies last weekend ('Capitalism, a love story' and 'Sicko'), so I can't help thinking you might be right. The latest municipal election results in the Netherlands - predicting a huge win for extreme right wing islam bashing nitwit Geert Wilders in the upcoming parliamentary elections - almost lead me to believe that I should put my own country on the list as well....

Rotten Ali 600 Posted March 8, 2010 My list of things that will go the way of all flesh before 2030, at least in western countries, in alphabetical order: Cash Chess clubs Civil liberties Commercial air transport Deathlist Democracy Fax machines I People's Republic of China Petrol regards, Hein Interesting list Hein. I agree on commercial airlines. Fax machines are virtually dead already. I think democracy might get more democratic before it disappears up its own ballot box. If this is going to be a thread of lists, does anyone else have any 10 things lists? A list of favourite lists, perhaps? Rotten Ali must have umpteen. This is my not very interesting Ginsterless shopping list for the weekend since Mrs G has deserted us. I like crumpets with Marmite, just had two. 1. Crumpets 2. Bagles 3. Cream cheese 4. Orange juice 5. Milk 6. Humous 7. Pizza (for Godettes) 8. Ham 9. Prawns 10 Bananas No, sorry I don't have a list of favorite lists and I don't have the time to start one.

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 9, 2010 I was thinking this thread today at the shops - by 2030, I think Milk Men will be a relic of the past. They're pretty rare in the cities anyway (or they are round this way). 2030, of course will see Clive Dunn celebrate his 110th birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
