There’s a “movement you need is on your shoulder” joke in there somewhere.a-hard-days-night-paul-3

Isn’t that more to do with number 2’s (and i dont mean ‘Strawberry Fields Forever ‘, ‘Vienna’, ‘Last Christmas’ and others)?

Yes. The idea was, it could always be worse. 

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

One of the neighbors isn’t home, so he doesn’t realize his smoke detector is beeping every 30 seconds, which means the battery’s dying, which means we can all look forward to it blaring at 2 in the morning when it finally goes.

Pretty sure I complained about this 4 years ago…but again, why do people let my phone ring 13-15 times when it’s pretty obvious I have no intention of answering? (I just spoke to you last week! You know I’m watching the hockey game. Call you tomorrow.)

I guess it can depend on the size of your house. Ours is pretty large and my annoyance is only letting it ring 4-5 times and then stopping just as I am about to pick it up. And yes, I have 3 handsets scattered around.

I guess the callers just can’t win with us :)

Wet tennis balls. Enough said.

I didn’t have any today as we are having whatever the southern hemisphere version of an Indian Summer is. It was a very hot day and it’s heading back up to 30C plus again next week when I thought we had seen the end of the heat until next spring.

Some are very good, others not so much.

Oh yeah yeah, and how when you type the first two letters and it gives you all those optional names with the two letters other than at the beginning of the name? Peeved about that.

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

None of those problems with the HTML editor. But then you have to remember everyone’s orginal name.

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

I’m in a one-bedroom, 4 rings would suffice. And I have 3 receivers but always use the same one, farthest away!

Well, except for those one or two threads we don’t mention that would scare all of the newer members away!

Yes @Von Bontee , that makes a big difference. The place I’m in has 4 bedrooms plus study, family room plus lounge, 2 levels etc etc. If I’m not careful my handsets complain they are ‘out of range’.

Wow @trcanberra , if I lived in your place I’d just get my butler to answer the phone for me! :D

Regarding that other matter, I always get amused when newer members show up, stay, and slowly become aware of THAT thread even though it long predated them.

Back on topic, I guess…thoroughly peeved by texting drivers, even though I’ve never personally been impacted by them. (Luck) Sometimes I fantastize about two idiot friends driving around solo in separate cars who collide while texting one another.

In the last couple of months I have almost been hit twice on pedestrian crossings by idiots texting while driving. It is FAR worse than the clowns who try talking with their mobiles in one hand and driving with the other.

And if this is anyone on the board – sorry – you have got to stop!!
