public transport

The actual question

When you catch public transport, especially during peak hour, do you have to repress the urges to shout "Move over you rude gits!" to the entire carriage/bus?

And the punters said

My thoughts

On trains in Sydney now, they have "fast track platforms" with lots of comments over the airwaves like "Please stand away from the doors to let people get off quicker. Don't try to get on before people have finished getting off.  If you are getting off at this station, please move towards the doors.  If you are not, please move away from the doors".  I could never be a cityrail announcer.  I'd be all "STOP being stupid gits, and use your brains!!"

When is the afternoon?

The actual question

You ring someone (you don't live with) at 11am, and say you'll be home in about 90 minutes. They say "OK, see you this afternoon."

When do you expect to see them?

My thoughts

I reckon 3ish is pushing it.  After that it is getting more towards evening (they turned up at 6)

Let us discuss Lettuce

The actual question

I just had a rather delicious salad for lunch (lettuce, cheese, cucumber, avocado, capsicum, celery, chick peas, honey mustard dressing) and it got me contemplating about the various types of lettuce. And, what with being salad weather and all, what is your preferred leafy basis...

And the punters said

My thoughts

Look, daggy as it is, iceberg is, and always will be, "real lettuce" for me.  I mean, I eat the other stuff, but when I think of lettuce, it's iceberg.

Earl Grey Tea is an abomination

The actual question

Is the belief that Jean-Luc Picard drinks "Earl Grey Tea - Hot" really derive from an attempt by the Romulans to discredit the Federation through smearing the reputation of one of its most well known captains?

And the punters said

My thoughts:

Bah!  Fools. The Romulans have mind washed you.  Go and bath in bergamot ergh, blah yuck

Salad Sandwiches

The actual question

This is a question for Colin to rub in just how wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong he is...

Should Salad Sandwiches have Carrots on them?

And the punters said

My thoughts

What the hell?  You freaks!  It HAS to have carrot on it.  Either very finely chopped or grated carrot.  Otherwise isn't salad.  Sheesh!!!

Anyway, it was even and I didn't vote, so I won.

(Shut up Colin)

Glen's chocolate crackles

The actual question:

A question for my friend Glen.

Last night, after he got home, a kid came door knocking with his Mum. Kid was about 8. He was selling chocolate crackles they'd made (6 for $5) so he could save up for a speed bike.

Now, what would be your reaction to this?

And the punters said:

My thoughts:

Do kids even mow lawns any more?  Can some come and do mine?

Hot water bottles

The actual question:

A question dear to my heart....

Why are hot water bottles so infinitely superior to electric blankets?

My thoughts:

The low rate of responses here really does show that people just don't think about the important things.
