Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Big bang theory has its amusing moments. I used to love two and half men.....it was so over the top sexist, mysogynistic, empty hearted and just plain wrong that you just had to laugh at it! When Angus T Jones who played the character Jake, had his outburst and told people not to watch anymore of this flith, even the shows writer and producer Chuck Lorre said..."well hes right, the show is filth" but no one took it seriously.
As for most other American comedy...just not funny.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Being on a scooter last night coming home from work likely saved me from being in a bad accident.
A car was speeding in the opposite direction at a high rate of speed for a 2 lane residential area, and couldn't go around a curve at the speed and crossed over into my lane, had I been in a car, I would have had nowhere to go and would have resulted in a serious collision, but luckily on the scooter, I was able to swerve enough to avoid being hit, but it was still a very close call.
Luckily a cop was at a red light one block up and caught the arse wipe.
One thing I hate about my shift is the commute home, people seem to think at 1am because there is so little traffic they can drive at high rates of speed, and I am sure some are drunk.

Glad to hear you came through unscathed - a close call indeed!
There are idiot drivers at all times of day but I agree, many people seem to think it's ok to speed late at night

THE world's most expensive whisky has been exposed as fake – after a Chinese businessman paid £7,700 for a single shot.
A dram from the unopened bottle of “Macallan 1878” sold for the four-figure sum at a Swiss hotel in July – making it the priciest glass of single malt ever flogged.
Im so glad I don't drink Scotch
Now I wonder what might happen if he now got a taste of the real thing and ended up saying 'The fake one tasted better"

I love the look of red potatoes when they are washed.
