That a certain long mooted average measurement pertaining to a particular bodily appendage possessed by about half the human population has finally been determined: 5.16 inches. As a member of the population both in possession of said appendage, as well as a fan of said appendage, I'm both pleased and disappointed by this number (but not necessarily in that order).

That Woody Harrelson's Dad was a hitman.

That people who have perfectly shaped goatees aren't adept blade handlers but in fact probably use one of these.

'Eliminates crooked goatees and those occasional shaving mishaps'

I can't believe they're an actual thing.

I'm trying to imagine your expressions as you read each of those, but i don't know what yer face looks like!

The 'beer belly' thing, i can say, is true for me. I started noticing an extra bit of paunch around my lower belly about that time. I'm slim, so it's hardly noticeable, but i know my body and it wasn't there before in my 20's :/

The rest of them can't apply to me just yet, but i can say that i passed my driving test at 26. The sperm thing... well .. *no comment* Strangely, although my circumstances are shite/as bad as they have ever been, i am more content than i were in my 20's. I think that's got more to do with life and it's abrasive nature though :/

^ Bugger! I typed a well thought out reply, said some fantastic things about womenfolk and it all disappeared with a slip of a finger

On the whole, i sympathised.

On contentment, i think we have different views: i'm reaping from not sewing seeds. That said, if you want some seed, i got plenty of it, just not so sure it'll reach you in prime condition as it's slown down a bit

Rocket Spud · #**1121** 29th March 2015, 12:46

^ You do know that i saw that at the dead of night after not having checked sauk for ages - it scared the life out of me

There's something a bit sinister looking about it and my first impression - bear in mind i was tired - was that you had cut & pasted bits of my face even though they bear no resemblance to me at all

I had a dreaded feeling about me for a moment and genuinely felt weirded out.

Spud baby needs a spolier!

Rocket Spud · #**1122** 29th March 2015, 23:24

Awww, i was once such an adorable little spud - i still look a little bit oriental... and Dad grew into his looks, eventually.

We'll give baby spud some time. We can't be going making any hasty decisions, he may yet be a chip off the old block someday

diplodocus · #**1124** 30th March 2015, 22:44

Just having visited Denmark, I learnt that the Danish consider everyone equal. So if you are a CEO you are no more important in their eyes than a bin man. Maybe I should emigrate to Denmark because I've always thought that way and it's caused me endless amounts of grief, just because I don't automatically defer to my *cough cough* 'betters'.
On the flipside, if you wear brightly coloured clothing especially as a guy or have a tendency to brag most Danes will think you're a ****. And chavs don't exist in Denmark. Well certainly I didn't see any. Nearly all the bikes outside Copenhagen central station were left unlocked, and nobody nicked them. Sadly that really amazed me.

It's the same in Stockholm. You can walk down a street and see all these unlocked bikes people have just left there while they're at work. If I left mine like that here it'd be gone in minutes.

I'm starving but that picture has made me never want to eat again. Faggots are gross, all fatty and squishy.
Scouse is food of the gods!

hellotiger · #**1131** 5th April 2015, 12:19

^Like a thick Irish stew.
Ok no. Admittedly no food is nicer than Yorkshire puddings. I could eat them one after another until I got full and then stopped. I was going to say something more dramatically creative then but couldn't think of anything. I'm hungry.

Most people don't use them at all. Physical media like that is pretty much obsolete, at least as far as computers are concerned. I've got one on my PC and I haven't used it in maybe a couple of months.

That Bakewell tarts actually come from a place called Bakewell in Lancashire!

MLP James · #**1139** 22nd April 2015, 07:22

^^ I'm sure there are plenty available with them, but I wouldn't worry about it, or base a purchase decision on that. You can always just get an external drive, they're pretty cheap.

VLC Media Player can capture your desktop. Which is cool.
