WBMT.....What baffled me today

It had Murphy’s brain. An important step was to wipe his memories.

I recall they tried to make another Robocop in the sequel and used various criminals. The important bit was the spine and brain.

People that go to a gig and then walk off to the loo as soon as the main act come out on stage. We were at Twickenham Stadium yesterday for Metallica, our seats right above one of the tunnels leading to the pitch and was surprised at the constant flow of people walking in and out. Even more baffling was during the third track, there appeared to be a mass exodus of people leaving the pitch by both tunnels for a couple of minutes before it all settled back down the constant flow of people walking in and out.

They were awesome.

Went to watch rugby a couple of weeks ago. It amazed me the constant flow of people going back and forth to the bar throughout the game. Was particularly annoying as the wheelchair spaces were at the front of the stand at pitch level which made it very difficult to watch the game with people continously walking across the front of us!

I daresay just as awesome last night. :)
Tickets were kind of expensive at £95 + service charge, but the band certainly do their best to make it worthwhile. Free copy of their latest album on CD or download. Another free download from the show via their website using your ticket, the obviously fantastic show and after the final encore coming back out on stage for about ten minutes with hands full of goodies to throw out to the fans and thanking everyone for their support.

They didn't even have the excuse of going to the bar last night. There were bars on both sides of the pitch as well as at the back as well as food outlets. There was even an army of vendors walking about the pitch wearing coolbag selling beer and wine. What I was surprised about was selling beer in glass bottles, normally it goes in a plastic cup. The plastic cups from the bars all had the band logo on, so people would just get a refill and take them home at the end of the day, other than the odd accidentally dropped cup, there was hardly any litter left as a result.

Yes, the beer at the rugby was also sold in logoed plastic glasses. You could either return them and get £1 back or take them home. It's a great idea.
 
Why is it, just before a duel [sic] carriageway ( 70 mph ) become a single carriageway ( 60 mph) does someone always have to do warp factor 9 to get past, only to slow down to
45 - 50 mph once on the single carriageway, I am reliably informed that there are no land mines or bear pits on that stretch of road either :thinking:
 
Same reason Honda Jazzes travel at 40 MPH at almost all times, whatever the posted limit.

It is so he/she can be on the road one whole car in front of where they would have been otherwise. For some, that one car seems very important.

And slow down the dozen or so cars that caught up with it in a very short space of time,
Oh and flash their lights when I overtook it!
I never even gave the two fingered saluted, but I must admit I was sorely tempted ;)
 
Why people driving at 40 in a 40mph speed limit find it necessary to slow down to 30mph just
because they have to pass a speed camera, happens every time in one place I drive through

I get that as well only in a 50mph limit!

Or even worse the wazzocks that have no concept of what "average" means :(
 
I like that Talivan ones on the side of the road, I often see them on the A11.
The traffic is moving quite happily at 70 ( dual carriageway)
and some t***t will get within a few yards and hit the brakes,
Don't they realise had they been speeding they would have been caught quite awhile before ( up to a mile away, don't ask me how I know :D )

Why do people join forums and then go out of their way to be unpleasant?

Baffles me.

Because they are unpleasant people, who because they are like that, don't have anyone left to be unpleasant to in real life.

There's always the possibility that they are fairly pleasant people but they make statements others disagree with. Many people on forums consider that those who disagree with them are rude because they disagree with them.
 
WBMT is why anyone in their right mind would willingly eat quinoa.
 
I tried quinoa at the wife's suggestion. Not bad. Plain cooked quinoa doesn't look appetising but add a stock cube and some protein and veg and tastes good. I have it for lunch once or twice a week.

Mine wasn't plain and it was still revolting.
I'll stick to rice.

Apart from it baffling me that anyone plays this stupid sodding game, my own inconsistency baffles me. 56 on Monday, 50 on Tuesday and 47 today. Probably back into the 50s on Monday! Stupid f*****g game. :mad:
 
I wondered if oven chips had improved in the 35 years since I last tried them. They haven't.

How can people like them? And the smell!!

They'll never replace fat-fried chips, or chips from the chip shop, but they make a vague attempt at an alternative when you want chips without the calories.

Its like couscous, you need to really flavour it with citrus, oil and herbs. Or use it as a base - I do a great salad with lentils. Boil puy (green) lentils with stock and add quinoa part way through. Drain and allow to go cold or just cool as can be warm or cold. Then add diced cucumber, tomato, feta/goats cheese, dried cranberries, beetroot, strawberries (optional but could add anything else you want like spring onions or sundried tomatoes) then some oil and vinegar to dress. Normally have this warm with steak

They work for me (in moderation). :plus1:
 
I'd rather have proper chips but a smaller portion.

As for quinoa, it's okay as a bulking agent but I wouldn't choose it over something else or as a main constituent of a salad.
 
Talking of Fish and chips anyone else hear the news report that a fish shop in Leicester was concerned about depleting the fish stocks
so they closed the cafe / restaurant / take away what ever it was, and have now opened up a more web based "Healthier foods supplies"

Not a joke so no punch line, but I thought it was a damned good PR exercise to get it all over the news bulletins and on Jeremy Vine's lunchtime
chat show ;)
