    I love Revenge, but the one thing that annoys me about it is the whole webcams thing.

    Credibility isn't it's strong point, to be sure. It's more a fashion and interiors thing :)

    I can think of a few things that masses like but I don't, the other way around is more difficult.

    Wait. Beer with the foam hat. I'm used to no foam now but with certain beers from certain locations it's just barbaric. The barman receive the "you barbaric pr1ck" look :mad: and thank you :(

    Oh and Shakira. I know I might as well shoot myself in the leg but I love dancing to her tunes :o

    That Louis Jordan song about chickens.

    "There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here at all, we chickens trying to sleep and you walk in and hobble hobble hobble with your chin."

    Classic chorus.

    Similarly, ale at the proper temperature. Freaks a lot of Irish people out when they realise that not all beer is served ice cold.

    Apart from that:

    Linux
    Dark chocolate
    Herbal tea

    That and the inbetweeners have been the funniest thing to hit the TV in a long time.

    Archer, Chozen, Rick and Morty, community... all way better way smarter and way more worth your time.

    Self improvement nut, immersing myself in JRPG's, philosophy in TV shows. libertarianism. Reading about the extreme views in the USA, stuff we don't really talk about here in this country at all. Austrian Economics.

    Logic, merely stating what actually happened. Embracing the good and the bad.
    All politicians need to be sat down and have austrian economics drilled into their skulls.
    Yet I actually don't read, care much about politics at all. It shouldn't exist, barely. It's all a serving game producing naught of value in the end, the public are aiming their sights at the wrong target entirely, Problem is people think economics is boring and they're right, but it is simple to learn, there is simply very few people charismatic enough to learn from, that's the problem..

    Extended terms for leaders. Let them see through their decisions and suffer the calamitous consequences. Monarch's are often the best form of government in this respect.

    Carl Sagan, space travel.

    Confrontation. I think it's healthy and much prefer it to passive aggression, bitterness and bitchiness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 MakeMyFriend


    Long journeys. Absolutely no problem with them, it's time to think to me.
    Skin imprints, very weird fascination with them. Most seem to find them irritating.

    I don't it know, I think it bores a lot of people, or people just think pretty pictures and barren rocks and deserts. Their heads turn into a vacuum when I talk about it. People don't like idea that the universe is huge and don't want to know what will make them feel very small. It's funny cause I interpret that it makes all the more important. Amazing, how people react differently!

    You know that Austrian Economics is just ideas, right? Ideas that can be refuted, yeah?

    Economics is a disputed field - it's not arithmetic.

    Monika Geller is on Boards! :eek:

    I like ironing (not shirts though), I usually put a movie on get stuck into it and when I feel really frustrated I start scrubbing. Guess it's the best alternative to having a punch bag...
