    I wonder can we get #googleoffforaday trending on twitter. Honestly. Google is so laid bad i actually think there would be a chance they would play along with the move. they what great publicity for them. Google has shown how much power they have to bring the world to a halt.

    One can dream that google might be reading this and be like you know these young feckers are right lets show those as holes.

    Why would anybody caption a picture like that? This is both redundant and wrong. Maths is balanced; lern2play.

    Because as much fun as maths is. For some of us it is really hard, Way beyond our capabilities of trying to work it out. Without it driving us insane. Some of us want to successfully work out an equation without spending 30 minutes to a hour.

    I'm not asking why the picture was made. I'm asking why the 'So true' caption exists.

    oh... my bad. :o . I can only guess that the original picture is out there somewhere someone saw it and decided to meme it. then again what a pointless thing to do.

    Is facebook telling anyone else they're a "Dummy" or is it just me?

    Eh... no.

    The highlight of my week was getting ten hours of sleep last night. :) :P



    I dunno why, but I can't stand the Toy Show. I'm not sure why it irritates me so much. I tried watching it last year and it was just cringe after cringe after cringe for me.

    I think it's mainly down to the kids on it, but they were always there and I loved it as a child...

    I dunno, perhaps I'm just a grumpy old man already. :pac:

    I can't wait for the toy show, mainly because it always meant the start of Christmas when I was younger :)

    I haven't watched the toy show in years, the down side of not having a TV. Only seeing it this year because a friends invited me to a toy show party, nostalgia and junk food should be fun!

    See I could imagine this being fun, because at least if the show itself irritated me then there'd be some distractions. :P

    But usually when it's on I'm home for the weekend, so watching it with my parents is just.... well, sad. :pac:

    I wish my friends would do stuff like that, most of their ideas involve drinking. Not that I'd actually be able to go because I'd probably be working, but yeah, I like ideas like this.

    The Toy Show was always something I had to feign excitement for as a kid, like visiting relatives, eating my mother's home-made scone or having fish fingers for dinner. Now I can shun the lot of them, muhahaha. Though I have grown to like the scones.

    Was listening toe The Very Last Word this morning, and they played a clip of a woman during the week who suggested that a levy should be "non-essential items" such as condoms, nappies and sanitary pads.

    When challenged by Cooper saying that condoms were hardly non-essential, she said that efforts should be made to introduce bio-degradable condoms...

    I just find the phrase "bio-degradable condoms" odd... :P

    Good call on the nappies though. It's about time babies learned some self-respect.

    Typical man picking up on the condoms, not to be crude or anything but the items that prevent involuntary bodily fluids from going everywhere are just a tad more essential in my book.
    Although all three items do provide a great public service and their use should be encouraged.
