Try saying "Rugby is crap" in a really loud voice and then count the resulting dogpile.

Good idea. The eggballers would soon come out of the woodwork. I was thinking of posting a youtube of a welsh choir, and seeing who gave me karma.

I think so too, a bit like retiring the shirt number of a prominent footballer.

I only used it through the end of May. I still have a copy, which I may use again next March 15, +/- a few days, but generally speaking, I'm moving on, ..... and back to my usual avatar!

I am going to take a wild guess that my avatar has hair that is a closer likeness to my hair than yours does to you.

I don't have a center parting, it's true.

People who use the drive-thru, engine idling, when they could park, walk in, make the transaction, come back out, and drive off while the queue has yet to move.

So, you know Mrs P then?

Joking aside, I believe the "rise of the drive-through" is directly linked to the laws requiring restraining child seats in cars.

I'm just bitter because if I use te drive-thru, no-one can understand what I am trying to order.

Not that it is much better if I go inside.

If it weren't for Mrs N, I would have starved to death long ago.

I don't hate freedom, neither do I hate a little bit of exercise. No wonder the USA has an obesity epidemic.

Which reminds me of another pet peeve - more of an amusement actually - people who push the button to use the auto-opening handicap door, and then take the elevator, when going to exercise at the health club. Only slightly ahead of the people who spend $1,000 for a ride-on lawn tractor and then spend another $1,000 for a treadmill.
