    Not too sure really. The advent of beer to the forum virtually cured me and a bit of it in real life also helped. Besides what's wrong with empty, why does there always have to be something?

    Oh yeah, we were all supposed to die or some such at 3pm no? Sad to say, the worst that happened to me was I had to put the BBQ on hold to go fetch the wife who got off early.

    Oh, there was a slight rain shower as well...

    In that case you should have called this thread 'capacityness'...or lack there of!

    That's a given, although it really depends on which part of the glass you are referring too

    I am merely suggesting that the glass being half empty has been getting a lot of bad press in comparison to its half full counterpart.

    We are here for a short time, have fun and f*ck what people think, do what you want,


    is your job really important?

    is the car you drive important and does it reflect your personality?

    will you be remembered in 3 or 4 generations?

    see nothing matters anyway.


    The planet will be destroyed eventually by the sun anyway.

    We make no difference what so ever




    Even for you religous idiots, your God left you a get outta jail free card,
    whatever you do in life can be forgiven on your deathbed, no need to live like a holy Joe.

    Who cares? The liquid is obviously combustable and will soon explode in my face, horribly disfiguring me, forcing me to live out the sad solitary existence of a scarred hermit.

    Mercy me! What a bleak and selfish outlook.

    Anyway, it would be best to learn how to spell 'religious' before you start calling us idiots.

    Nope, just had an apple turnover. Should see me though to dinner.

    Washup still on the horizon though. If there's some rapturing to be done, better make it quick.

    No, it's half full if you've only filled it half way, and half empty if it was previously completely full and emptied halfway! Obviously!

    I put it to you that there is no glass just liquid, as glass much like water is a liquid only one with a very high viscosity.

    So where do i fall in your little war then?

    You're an aglasstic, you must learn faith or you'll go where the pessimists believe they will go!

    Whereas people who don't believe in glasses, only mugs, they're a-tea-ists!

    (There really should be a hell, just for people who make that kind of joke)
