    So a comment in the cork thread about some would rather be from Cork than Dublin got me thinking.

    Keeping it a tight race what would you rather in options you set? Obvious ones like "I'd rather be rich than poor" or "I'd rather eat chocolate than snot" are pointless but what about:

    I'd rather be fat than short
    I'd rather be smelly than ginger

    This might be a crap thread ... then again I have faith that some of you will make entertaining posts.

    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy
    I'd rather get home at 2 with a 10 then get home at 10 with a 2

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I'd rather a nice cup of tea than be eaten alive by flesh-eating ants.

    I'd rather a Wispa than be stabbed 30 times in the neck by a scumbag.

    I'd rather shag Lucy Pinder than shag the corpse of her great great great grandfather.

    There appears to be infinitely many responses to this thread...

    Depnds on one's definition of "obvious"- you may prefer to be eaten alive by ants if you really, really don't like tea! :)

    Ok then - I'd rather be deaf than be blind.
    I'd rather have no arms than no legs.
    I'd rather die fairly young (50's or 60's) than live into my 80's.

    not really, i'd already be a junkie, so i'd know where to get it.

    If i was a homeless junkie i'd have thrown my life away in order to experience pure bliss every day.

    If i was a homeless alco, i'd have thrown my life away for pretty much nothing.
