The "talk about whatever you want" thread

[Ben]

Think of your waistline with them salty peanuts. We want you to finally reach 90 next year. I'll have a pint of Guinness if it's pulled properly.

[Colin B]

Colin’s shout. Hey Colin, move it.

He is off dancing with the waitress, lol

Not with his hips.

Ohhh - hip replacements?

If you've quite finished - I popped out to the cash machine - that's all...

I take my last one....a small green beer-mix bottle.

Never trusted the bar nuts.

Not the ones in bowls, they're full of god knows what. Buy them in packets.

The claim that peanuts put out in bowls on pub bars are urine-soaked has been proven to be a total myth.

The spray that they are covered in is mostly made up of spit & snot from people breathing, coughing & sneezing on them...

Oh well, that's OK then. I thought it's the urine that makes them salty.

Anyway, in fact there was a piece on TV in recent months where they tested them, and they did have traces of urine on them.

I'm sure we ingest worse throughout the normal week just by touching door handles, money, banisters, etc....

When a man goes for a pee & returns to the bar without washing, there could be urine on his hands, but it will dry very quickly.

If he dips into the bar peanut bowl, the ones that come into contact with his fingers will [mostly] be ones that he then eats himself.

Because of the popularity of the free nuts, the bar staff have to constantly refill the bowls with fresh product.

All-in-all, the chances of ingesting the urine of someone else are pretty negligible...

Well, I never eat those peanuts anyway.

I'm more concerned about the door handle.

Michael McIntyre. Who does he think he is, parking on double yellows. I wouldn't mind if he was funny.

He’s funny. He’s made a lot of money by being funny.

Did he park on the yellows or was that where he stopped when attacked?

Looks like it in the pictures. He's about as funny as a fart in a spacesuit.

Depends on who’s in the spacesuit I guess.

Do you know, it would have been more difficult to fake the moon landing than to go to the moon.

I never knew that. How do you know it?

Coz I am clever. The technology needed was not in place, computer graphics were in their infancy. The only source of light was the sun, casting parallel shadows with no diffusion, to recreate this on earth would take millions of super bright lights. But the biggest hurdle would be Russia, bang at the peak of the Space Race, Russia would have known, and would have taken great joy in exposing any fakery.

So all these people who say it was done in a studio, and that the shadows go in different directions, and all that other crap, why can't they get their heads around this?

There are some who must find a 'conspiracy' in anything & everything !

The over-riding reason for acknowledging that they must have landed on the moon is that Patrick Moore said they did !

I had just got engaged and was staying with friends in Dorset. I know they went up because I stayed up all night watching them.

You must have had one hell of a telescope.

Oh yes, both hands needed to hold it...
