Sleep, yes. Life would be so much easier if I didn’t have to worry about sleep.

Offline Sleep is so nice though, in sleep I can do cool things- like I had a dream I was auditioning for Doctor Who’s companion the other night, unfortunately, that’s very unlikely to happen in real life.
What I would like would be for me (and only me*) to be able to sleep only 2 hours and be completely refreshed like I’ve just slept 9 hours. Would come so handy at exam time but THEN when it’s not exam time I can do the whole 9 hours and have my zany dreams again.
*If everyone could do it, we’d probably have like 17 hour workdays…no, thanks.

I apologise if I came across as petty in my reply, but it irks me when I detect what I think is competitive fandom, especially in regards to point number one. There are people on here who know more than you or I do about the Beatles, but I’d hate to think they would ever use that as a stick to beat us with. I’m sure @StrawberryFields91 didn’t mean anything by it but rather than be dismissive of people for not having heard Long Long Long or Within You Without You (for example), encourage them to give them a listen and then perhaps you can discuss what you like/dislike about George and his songs.
What I meant was that I’ve met plenty of people who like George’s more popular songs, but have actually called his more obscure and spiritual stuff “weird.” At that point, just say you’re a fan of Here Comes The Sun rather than of George in general.

Yes, but you should at least be familiar with more than two to three of their songs.
Another pet peeve of mine is people who have barely heard any Beatles songs going around and saying the Beatles are terrible and overrated just to be controversial. Also, people saying stupid things they clearly don’t believe (like “the earth is flat” or “water isn’t wet”) just to be controversial.

Offline Water isn’t wet though 
When it comes into contact with something else, whatever it touches *becomes* wet, but the water itself isn’t. That’s my theory, anyway

Water is a liquid – I think we can all agree on that.
By definition, a liquid is wet.
Wet – a state of being liquidy.
Therefore water is wet

Offline Water is absolutely wet. Something is wet when it has water on it, right? Water molecules are constantly in contact with other molecules, making it wet.

Offline Fiddy’s argument is the most compelling, I’d say, but it’s not like water is made up of different chunks. It’s just one big mass.

Offline I couldn’t care less if Joe Bloggs doesn’t like the Beatles, or says they’re overrated (either to be controversial, or because they genuinely believe it). Their opinion and lack of interest isn’t going to affect my admiration of them.

When I’m sat sipping a beer at my favourite spot….I’ll sometimes ask my companion in Thai, ‘How far away she thinks the horizon is?’
Their answers are always wild overestimations…..I can understand why……I only know because I read about it somewhere…..Mind you when I tell them that it’s not infact 10,000 kms it’s less than 5kms they nearly always shrug and give me the……. ‘you know nothing John Snow’ look

Offline Another literary pet peeve: when writers who (probably) don’t have siblings try and depict sibling interactions and get them hilariously wrong. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but nobody I know says stuff like “hey big brother” or “hey sis” or anything like that.
