Most of the time This hour is quite corny/parochial (hmm.many posters on this forum would easily deduce it must be canadian then. :eek::eek:).

Big Bang is like many american sitcoms...take an idea/storyline/premise and just repeat repeat etc as it is all based on advertising revenue and the advertisers don't want to let go of a good thing.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I love Big Bang Theory and have done from the beginning. I used to work in Medical Physics so appreciate the characterisation. As for running it's course no i don't think it has as it changes as the characters age and new ones are introduced.

Wow the Liberals have thought about something that I actually agree with . Gasp !!

"The Fair crossing the road plan".....Fines for people using a cell while walking into traffic at crosswalks. Finally !! However it's just a plan for now not law.

OH has just bought a GT6, it's a bit projecty, will probably sit under a tarp for the winter, will get some new tyres and a wash and let's be honest will probably be sold next winter....But the plans!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Which model of GT6 is it?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Dunno, it's a 1965 build with a 66 year of registration if that helps.

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.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Sounds like a lucky escape! Are you a scooter rider these days?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Something else we seem to agree on, American humour just isn't funny, I cant stand those stupid American comedy movies. British comedy is waaaaaay superior.

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
 

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 :lol: 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"

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

We were looking at some single malt reviews here a few years ago and I figured I could make a good one by taking a bottle of Green Stripe or summat and adding a pinch of potting soil and a few flakes of pipe tobacco, then burying it under the step for a year.;)

Im sure studies have been done to see if the chemical effects after eating sprouts have been analyzed to see if the outcome could be considered as a noxious gas that might fall within a weapon of destruction.

My daughter found out today that she house cleans for someone who moved from the same town in the UK as us - how mad is that?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That's worth a coincidence thread :nod:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

There are mad coincidences indeed.

I was walking along the beach in Pattaya (Thailand) and bumped into someone I had dated many years previously in Bristol.

I had just had my son at Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong - and went out of my room to get a drink - there was a girl in there who I had worked with in Bristol 12 years prior, who had given birth the same day.

My neighbour in our gated community in the New Territories (Hong Kong) had moved from the road behind my (then) mother in law in Sussex.

Strange but true!
