Random Thought of the day...

[Feral007]

Wishing the tank was still full of water tonight RT - if we still had cows they'd be complaining of the cold!

Random thought for today - why, if a sign tells you there is wet paint somewhere, do you have to touch it to make sure?

Ahhh,this was a much talked about phenomenon while I was doing my apprenticeship as a decorator,we changed the signs to read ... Fresh Paint ... no more finger prints

[Mikey]

I'd have said that would all depend on what age the reader is BB, fresh to the youth is something cool or 'sic' to use the correct vernacular. Wet would suggest that it wasn't worthy of interest.

Personally words changing meaning I find quite confusing, how can sick go from something horrible to sic something awesome? I'd hate to be a foreigner coming here to learn the lingo. Its so dope, not!.

See your point Mikey but back in 1969 fresh meant new,sick was ill,dope was idiot,gay was happy,a posse were the good guys that helped uphold the law,etc .. Not sure that "the old day's" were actually that good,but the language use was simpler & more meaningful

Are you sure about that.

You could have a gas, a blast, or a ball and your parents would go ape, but you'd just say don't have a cow. Your favourite record was Boss, but you never had any bread to buy it. Your cars if you had one were all show and no go, but you still liked to burn rubber in them. You'd take the chicks out cruising, while you listened to some bad beats, which you could really dig. You'd argue who was gonna ride shotgun, but you'd never give the fuzz the bird.

Is the new generation really any different!!

Random thought of the day, why do pylons buzz? its most offputting when you walk under them. No sensible answers please, that is not the purpose of my question.

[veggiechicken]

Are you sure it wasn't a low flying plane, Mikey? Apparently they can buzz you!

[Mikey]

I don't think it would have been a low flying plane, as I was stood under a pylon!

[veggiechicken]

Who, in their right mind, stands under a pylon?
Anyway, I thought a pylon was a snake called Monty

[Mikey]

Who, in their right mind, stands under a pylon?

I think this is self explanatory surely?

[Bill HH]

1.This buzz is built into the pylon to warn parachutests that they are about to die.

2.Bees often take up winter residence in the insulators the buzz is thier way of expressing gratitude and satisfaction for free electricity.

3. They dont buzz you are suffering from tinitus.

4. There is no fourth thing.

[Mikey]

With a name like pylon, I'm surprised you don't find a ruck of boys frazzled around their bases.

[Bill HH]

5. The buzz is built in so engineers can find them on dark stormy nights.

As an engineer you'd think they'd carry a mains torch.

Thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt.............
