I’m right handed and use my left hand first when counting using my hands (I also play pool with my left hand and can paint, cut out and other stuff using both).I can see some newbie coming on, clicking this topic first and reading about the different way we count using our fingers and thumbs, and thinking we are all barmy. Some introduction to a Beatles forum.
Perhaps the conversation should have gone something like this:
When you count to 4 Beatles, which finger do you start counting with?
If you just want to indicate 4 Beatles, which fingers would you hold up?

What a bizarrely fascinating/mundane thing to be discussing. If I needed to count tens on my fingers, I would go left pinkie => right pinkie. I would hold up my four literal fingers (thumb hidden) to indicate “4” with my hand, since it seems the easiest way to do so. And for “3” I would likewise do the least difficult thing: thumb, index finger, middle finger. And until I saw “Inglourious Basterds” I had NO notion that employing the much-more-difficult (for me, anyways) index/middle/ring finger method was a particularly European thing to do.

Index, middle, ring, & pinky; however, I have counted starting with the thumb and didn’t know it was “European”. 
I also count beginning with either hand except for sign language, which I use my right hand & you count mostly on one hand. I write with my right hand, but I use my left for several tasks.

Some Tom Clancy movies…
The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, OP Center, Splinter Cell, NetForce, The Sum of All Fears, Without Remorse and this year’s Jack Ryan.
Haven’t read any (though I saw CaPD and it was OK) but I really disliked the guy based on a couple of interview/profiles I read.

For those that start counting with a thumb, say “1”:
Yes, I agree that the Day in the Life thread beats all.
Should we have a “Newbies, don’t start with these 3 (or some other number) threads” thread? Nah, it would just make them more curious, and they would start with those.

Offline The BBC has an interview with Ray Davies where he is “renegotiating” with his brother over a reunion for their 50th Anniversary. If there was there would be new material.

That would be awesome if they got back together.

Do you mean little dog cage/carrier type things? or taking them to like a dog “babysitter”?

Offline There’s no need to feel bad about it. I used to take my cat to the catery and he wouldn’t get out his carry case, sulking, but then when it came to bringing him home he didn’t want to leave. Like, really didn’t want to, he wouldn’t come to us and get back in!
If you need to go away, what else are you going to do with it? He’ll be fine for a little while without you.

Offline My first cat Fluffy ran away when we left it with our neighbour for a weekend 
Completely off-topic: But I truly believe I was a cat in a past life, I can mimic cats exactly and there are many wild/stray cats around my area and I’m the only person who they will come up to and let me stroke them…

Offline ^ There is no off-topic, that’s the whole point of the ‘impossible to derail’ thread 
We considered leaving our cat with the neighbours but quickly remembered that we didn’t/don’t have the kind of neighbours you’d want to leave your cat with. I wouldn’t want to stay there, so why should he have done?

Offline Dear Beatles Bible forum band,
I really need your help. I have an opportunity to advance in rank from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor. My supervisor and the person I have chosen to head my advancement committee both agree that I have the credentials to pass the review. I just have to get my portfolio ready by 15 October.
Please hold my feet to the fire to make sure I get the portfolio done on time. I’ve always gotten other high-importance documents turned in on time. I just thought putting my information out here to all of you would give me the extra motivation I need to get through yet another one.
Thanks for any positive waves you can send my way.

I’ve got the first draft of a history project due on the same day, I’ve got a 1/4 of it done, it’s on John’s murder, it’s worth 20% of my overall history mark. IF I WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE I have to get 20% in it and you have to be Associate Professor, if you don’t get your portfolio in by that time you’ll be letting me and all the Beatles Biblers down and a puppy will die
Specifically this puppy:
Do you want the puppy to die?

Offline Thanks, trcanberra. I made a bit of a dent in it this afternoon. For one, I found the motivation to get started. I went to another computer lab on campus so I could work on it without so many distractions – namely the piles of papers on my cart that need attention. I’ll work on it some from home this weekend so I don’t lose my motivation.
