cort1977 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yee-haw, &c. Funny though, this area, New Orleans and suburbs therein are some of the least "American" places I've been to. It's almost like being in France, here. Phil This is very true, it's a lot less yee-haw then Texas anyway. Of course most places are.

Tamworthbay Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Head over to the Volvo owners website if you want a laugh, people complaining that the touchscreen on their £30k car could be a better shape and the shape of the bag holders in the boot aren’t as good as those in a Merc. And we wonder why people slag off new cars as having no personality. chadders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshking Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Started my PhD on Monday. Day three of lectures and fuck my mind is blown. The challenge to everything that I took for granted is a really eye opening event. It's not often that you get time to actively challenge the underpinning thoughts behind mainstream ideology. It's all very NSFAS as dealing with political underpinnings to most ideas including rationality.Lectures & PhD? Weird. I spent my three years in a dark room lit only by a monstrous crt monitor and blinking lights of a super computer. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Is citizenship automatically granted to straight-eight Buick owners?No. It is a requirement to own or to have owned one, I think. I need to check the paperwork. Same as you must have bought an Anglia or Mk2 Transit to move to the UK. Phil busmansholiday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its in business so effectively a made up science Only first two years have lectures. After that we have to do the research for the thesis. meshking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roobarb Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 ^^^Normally does. After a strong cuppa anyway. Just had a big grin. Roobarb jnr (9 yrs) has just taken a liking to Queen - especially Bohemian Rhapsody and We will rock you. He has had Alexa playing it over and over. Interesting twisted lyrics though... ‘Waving your bladder all over the place...’ nearly had mine leaking. Have to apologize now, as he may think I was laughing at his singing.

He wouldn't have noticed any sort of interest whatsoever. He barely notices that he has put trousers on. He's been wearing cords that are about 3 inches above his shoes for months and only noticed when I pointed this out to him at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
