07 Dec 01 - 07:30 AM (#605594) Subject: I have the answer!! From: Morticia Are you tired and grumpy having spent all night on the 'Cat when you should have been tucked up warmly in your bed? Losing valuable housework/study time in contemplation of a thread on how to find the lost chord, varnish your weasel, or make plum pudding from a sock and a spare capo? Can you no longer look your boss in the face knowing you have spent all morning in pursuit of a lyric for which you have a one word clue and no artist, rather than re-organsing the company's paper clip supplies? The answer lies apparently in a program sent to me by the Downloads Centre and which is called " Max Resistance - Freeware". I don't know what it does yet but presumably it will stiffen our spines, increase our resolve and allow us to break free of the perfidious Mudcat syndrome. I'll go and investigate the possibilities but first I have to read the thread on Mole Strangling for Fun and Profit, then I'm right on it! |

07 Dec 01 - 03:46 PM (#605904) Subject: RE: BS: I have the answer!! From: Bill D that link, Gervase, even though it does display a sort of life I can hardly relate to, seems to be a prime example of a pattern of thinking I often seem to see in English comedy, where non-sequiturs and almost random direction changes paint an image of life with no 'transition' between events...like tearing all the pages from a book and reading them is random order...some will seem to be related, and conversations will have 'focus' for a bit on anyone page...but then BOOM!,,,off in a new direction for no apparent reason. It can have moments of very quaint, fascinating amusement, but then veer away with no follow-up, as if it is all irrelevant. I guess you DO have to live it to follow it,,*shrug*... Two countries divided by a common language, indeed, hmmm? |

07 Dec 01 - 05:16 PM (#605941) Subject: RE: BS: I have the answer!! From: AliUK british humour...strange? I think not. I mean just look at the League of Gentlemen, or the Fast Show. Intelligent humour. I never could fathom the appeal of Married With Children myself! |

In fact that's how life itself is a lot of the time. |

I spent 10 days in England, and, her humor was one of the brightest spots in the whole trip. Love that lady! (Sorry Morty, didn't mean to call you names) |
