Oh right

[arcdef]

Never seen such an enthusiastic reply! It pretty kool when you think about it!

[FG1]

And the world will end................................

[Red ones]

If it won't happen for another thousand years how do you propose writing it 100 years time?

[Moojuicepez]

his childrens childrend children will login in 1000 years and say . "as my late forefether said one thousand years ago....."

peasy

[madness]

Yawn!

[Red Herring]

Log in?, they won't even know what that means in 1,000 years time. Wonder what they did for amusement back then, (he says desperately trying to remember a history lesson...) Battle of Hastings was about then wasn't it, give or take 57 years or so....

[the white rabbit]

Tough crowd in here today, Quiff :lol:

[keithd]

[Holdup]

[Scoobs]

I still like you Quiff. I was gonna say love, but let's not go too far huh!

[keithd]

there's no escaping my passion for the man, it's just that, you know, late at night he takes to drinking......it worries me sometimes

[gruntygiggles]

You must understand......I make a wish if I see a clock read 22.22 or 05.05 etc....just me, I'm odd and I don't care!

[Quiff Wichard]

and its why we love you. long time.

[gruntygiggles]

Sounds like CDO to me... you know... like OCD but with the letters in the right places like they SHOULD BE!!!


I wouldn't have even thought of that so may have been a little self diagnosis going on there...lol.

I have my few little things that are OCDish and in the kitchen I'm quite particular how I want things done. Doing Christmas dinner for 7 last christmas and I couldn't accept help. I have my way, my order and I'm quicker and better doing things myself and when it comes to food.......NO ONE is allowed to mess it up....lol.

[Owenski]

Whens the mars thing?

just how precisely?:D you gonna take a picure of your clock?

my aching sides.....!!!

btw i said CLOCK

[plowsie]

TBH If I capture the moment, it will be wrong anyway, my clock is well out. Innit.

[Owenski]

lol, i forget that noone else knows my trail of thought sometimes and my questions can appear quite random. What I meant to say was....
I thought this thread was in reference to that event which is occuring where the orbit of Mars is going to be bringing it so close to earth that it appears in the sky similar size to the moon. Does anybody know when that is meant to be happening?

Randomness explaind. :D

Mars my @rse Those e-mails come around every few years, though there was a reasonably close (in astronomical terms) pass a few years ago.

I particularly like the idea that Mars will have the same apparent size as the moon. That would be interesting (for the few minutes before all life on earth ended and the solar system got a new asteroid belt).

You must understand......I make a wish if I see a clock read 22.22 or 05.05 etc....just me, I'm odd and I don't care!

My father died at 3:25 am on 28th February and I was at his bedside in intensive care (no sympathy posts required please it was about ten years ago), and for the following 3 or 4 years, every 28th February I would awake between 3:20 and 3:25 am and was awake to see the digital clock turn over to 3:25.

Accurate body clock being controlled by a subconscious mind? Or something spooky? About 5 years after he died I woke up on the morning of 28th Feb and commented to my wife about the fact I slept through, and I've slept all night on 28th Feb ever since.

Strange isn't it. Not the same, but do you also find that if you have to be up at stupid o'clock, earlier than normal or middle of the night to go catch a flight or something, you ALWAYS wake up 2 mins before your alarm???

[keithd]

Has it happened yet?

[gruntygiggles]

Has it happened yet?

Come back @ 12:34:57 on 07/08/09

[ArtyLady]

So......this has already happened in America - 12:34:57 on 08/07/09 ;)

[-Ralph-]

Yes, anything up to 1/2 hour before, but I just don't sleep properly at all in that case, wake three or four times in the early hours to check the alarm hasn't failed to go off.

[gruntygiggles]

Nope.......that turns into 123457879, not..123456789

Like your thinking though!

[gruntygiggles]

I used to be like that, but I've developed such a confidence in it now I sleep normally. Then again, I do have a thing about how I set the alarm on my phone each night...always make Stretchie giggle. I have to set it, go back to the menu screen, set again, go back to menu screen, check it, go back to home screen, then check again. It's a pain in the ar$e but if I don't do it, I cannot for the life of me fall asleep.

mars becomes a verb...

[Kinvig]

What's the big deal? As a more eloquent man than me once said:

Time is an abstract concept, lunch time doubly so.

[Quiff Wichard]

Has it happened yet?

it happened 2 mins ago..

gimme half hour I canmake it happen again..

its the mars bar influence Keith :smt054

[gruntygiggles]

I so want to comment on that, but I can't...........my nights with Stretchie are tiring enough that I have to cap my typing to prevent exhaustion.

[Von Teese]

Mars my @rse
Keith.
No! Surely that would be Uranus?

[Milky Bar Kid]

Cheryl, another personality trait we both share, OCD! You clearly have it! I have hand washing OCD!

[Von Teese]

I have hand washing OCD!
Not suprised with what you have to touch!

[Spiderman]

oh noes!! before or after teh olympics?


Dunno i'll ask the Sunday School teacher who thought it was cool to tell a 6 yr old this info. Personally i hope its just as they are about to light the torch in the stadium and KA-BOOOOM :lol:

[keithd]

oh **** i missed it

when's it on again?

will the bbc iplayer show it?

[Viney]

I was expecting the world to end. However i was asleep in the canteen! Maybe i have woken up in an alternate universe? Maybe i took the blue pill, i dunno. Still if you jump on a plnae and fly over to LA, you can get it again!

[Nicky S]

how long did that take you to find out ?? it is cool :P

[Milky Bar Kid]

Not suprised with what you have to touch!




I'm confused...what do I have to touch?!

[Von Teese]

I'm confused...what do I have to touch?!

...At work hon,

Well in my own experience, I don't always get a chance to put the nice blue /green gloves on and sometimes I think those medi-wipes just arent enough!

[Milky Bar Kid]

Ahhhhhhh!! Blonde moment AGAIN! No, with me being a bit OCD it is very very very rare I don't get my purple gloves on (I buy my own cos we get provided with rubbish ones!) because I would freak out if I touched a minging person without gloves.

A normal person could bleed on me all they want and I wouldn't freak out too much but I don't like germs.....eurgh! Making m skin crawl just thinking about it!

I have a total freak out everytime I touch rails and things in subways or buses, or even handles of shopping baskets!

Yes not the best feeling in the world, one of my colleagues got spat on by someone with Hep C, there are some horrendous people out there!

I don't like touching stuff in hospitals, I dont even like being in there to start with, I think they run out of hand gel when I have jobs there!

You don't realise how many bugs 'normal' people carry around with them then. We've have a whole eco-system under our finger nails!!

[Milky Bar Kid]

KEITH! Shut up! My skin is red raw as it is with all the handwashing and the antibacterial alcohol gels I use!

[Kinvig]

or even handles of shopping baskets!

Reading this thread is gonna give me all sorts of ocds!!!!

If I sit down on a bus or a tube, then back home I will not sit on my bed in that pair of trousers/jeans. I find london transport filthy at the best of times & wouldn't want to contaminate my happy space with that filth.....but I doubt that's that's an OCD - just common sense.

[Milky Bar Kid]

I also won't use pens after someone else has been using them. It all stems from when I was at school and when I first started playing the drums I would use the school sticks. I got a whole lot of warts and things and I started using my own sticks. since then I hate the thought of all the germs other peoples hands have!

[Sally]

I am not fussy with anything like that.

Same goes for type of beer, food and most of the time women.
