Stupidest idea you've heard today.

    Pretty simple thread, just say, in your opinion, what the stupidest idea you've heard today was.
    Personally, mine was a man I know, he recently sold his house, and therefore has the money in his bank account. He's planning on moving to Spain to set up a business, despite not knowing the Spanish language, and he has no intentions of learning it either.

    Sounds like he fooled you good. ;)

    Assuming his business idea is a good one to begin with (could be a big if of course) that's not necessarily a bad plan. Parts of Spain have effectively been colonised by the "Guiris" as the Spanish call the pasty faced lager set so knowledge of Spanish isn't necessarily relevant, no more than say fluency in Hindi/Punjabi would have been for an English speaker heading to India in the 19th Century. I know people who lived in the south of Spain years & could barely speak a couple of sentences of the language.

    I've just seen this. Can you confirm that you are joking/fooling around here?

    Otherwise I will be forced to document and archive this.

    I'm sorry but it's a very good idea... care to make a donation?
    I'm making a raft which I will use to invade the country but I'm running out of materials to finish building it.
    I will then need further money for supplies

    I've got some string and old oil barrels here. That'll put the fear of Hades into the little funny-haircutted ballacks. :cool:

    That might do the trick for the raft... All I need now is a pellet gun and the invasion is on!

    That'll be alright for the anti-aircraft system, but we'll need ten kilos of special throwin'-spuds for artillery, like.

    I'm waaayyy ahead of ya, I've designed (whilst drunk) a special spud catapulter and a Guinness gun.
    Should do the trick.

    I believe I'm usually full of vivacity so I won't need to mither :)
    But you can always find me on Bear Street just next to Tesco :)
    Now I need to go to Jim and pick me up some life raft materials for my invasion.
    Btw, any donation?
