Shouldn't be allowed!

All hijacking of pointless post threads is most welcome. Although somewhere along the line the thread lost a star rating. Hmmm...???

Who did it then???

Hmmm, nightmares, don't have 'em often but a couple of days ago ...

Hairy animal with one huge claw on left hand shoots unidentifable man in suit on a raised platform. "Camera" placed behind left shoulder of animal.

Followed by Sid James telling a very funny (but forgotten) joke in a bookshop.

Yeh, I know ...

That sounds like a pretty pointless nightmare!

Or is it a deep seated subconcious message that you need to post more to pointless threads???

Perhaps his joke was about people posting to pointless threads!

If you look at the statistics of annual toothpick production you can see OZ producers far better quality toothpicks at a far cheaper price then the UK, creating more employment then the UK, also we used renewable timber sources to create our toothpicks while in the UK you import cheap timber from third world countries to create your toothpicks , which damages the world environment. Aussie toothpicks are alot stronger while British toothpicks
often snap in half in your mouth. :scared: Nightmares sometimes come true :scared:

However.... in Australia, the working conditions and job prospects, for your average toothpick, are extremely poor. In the UK at least they are encouraged to advance themselves, often building a career as a so-called "super-model".

In fact, not a lot of people realise that Ali McBeal was part of a consignment of toothpicks, imported into the US from a factory in Rochdale and destined for a KFC outlet in Missourri. A series of coincidences led to her being spotted by a talent scout, who was working as a temp in US customs while "between jobs".

Fair Dinkum!

Now I fear that this post indicates the theft of a number of pointed things which goes against the charter of the totally pointless thread. As punishment for this contravening of the rules I sentence Deadmeat to be transported for life to the island known as Australia!

Oh what??? Too late???

Are you aware of the concept of a megathread?

I think this has the makings of one, said he pointlessly...
