All I needed to know about real life, I learned at the movies...

[Kryst51]

Deserted islands are still present on this highly populated Earth.

The Earth is endanger from natural disasters every 5,000 years or so, and the year we are in now just happens to be the 5,000th year, so watch out.

Whatever someone important (ie. father, mother, president, scientist, suvival specialist, etc) tells you to do, do the opposite, just so that you can struggle to survive instead of being safe and boring.

Why were you shocked? It seems a perfectly polite question.

Perhaps you were shocked because the questioner thought you smoked? I'm guessing you don't.

Oh, and don't go to Spain. They smoke everywhere, even in shops and no smoking areas, it's such a refreshing change from the UK dictatorial laws. I wanted a smoking room in a hotel in Spain and they didn't have one so a few minutes after I went to the room a porter brought me an ashtray.

I was shocked because in my state smoking in restaurants, or anywhere where the main source of revenue is from food, has been banned. Most restaurants have outside eating areas now for smokers. I wasn't used to being asked that anymore.

I am a smoker, but don't really like to smoke in restaurants because I'd prefer not to smell smoke while I eat.

Nonsence! How can perfection in the first instance be improved?

maybe not improved but expanded on?... I don't even know who Melanie is

 

[Rich]

I don't even know who Melanie is

She's best forgotten for destroying the original

 

[Rich]

Damn! I can't even spell nonsense due to the very mention of her name

Anger Management? Do they have that sort of class here and there?

Bottle of Merlot works better and faster

 

[Kryst51]

Bottle of Merlot works better and faster

Hmmm, given how worked up you get over the name "Melanie" I bet you go through a lot of Merlot.

 

[Rich]

I bet you go through a lot of Merlot.

I do my best, when I can afford it

 

[Kryst51]

I do my best, when I can afford it

"afford it" being the phrase that is affecting a lot of people these days eh?

Oh, btw. I learned from movies, that no matter what kind of job you do, you always have disposable cash to buy whatever high-tech gear you need to solve the emergency problem at hand.

 

[Rich]

Yes, it's taken me a darn sight longer to save up for a new MP3 player than the last one

I remember Melanie from the 60's. She had a minor hit with somthing about roller skates and keys.
I'm staggered that she's still alive, let alone still performing.
Her vocal style reminds me of Buffy Ste. Marie, except Buffy did it first so owns the patent.

I remember Melanie from the 60's. She had a minor hit with somthing about roller skates and keys...

Oh NOW I know who that is!

 

[oumahexi]

And I've never heard of Buffy Ste Marie, however, I did google her and see what you mean.

And thats immediate...

 

[oumahexi]

And thats immediate...

Danger'll do that to you Scott. If you're ever drunk and being chased by herds of suicidal Asda trollies ...

Whenever a vehicle crashes or is destroyed in any way, a wheel will come off and roll neatly to the feet of a nearby person.

Anyone can shoot a gun and hit their target, no training necessary.

Guns can easily be shot with one hand.

That one hand can hold the gun sideways and still shoot acurately.

Guns never have a kick when fired.
