The original TV series was okay. After that it got a bit too much. He himself is not typically British, but the sense of humour is. I don't like watching incompetent people (I had too many where I worked to find it really funny).
What was the last book you read and film you watched? Do you think (even though I would rather spoon my eyes out) that I should go and watch that Sex and the city film with my best mate, even though she wouldn't come and see Rambo with me? Your perfect night in? Do you judge people for using bad grammar? Can you explain fragmentation theory which explain why a straw of spaghetti can't be bent in two? What is your favourite swear word?
I read 5-6 books per week - check the Now Reading thread, I posted there recently. last film: Shoot 'Em Up. A friend of mine went to see it and said it was better than she expected, and quite funny. Although I wouldn't go see it... Either a really good book or an equally good film. Not as such, but it does annoy me. Language is a tool to be used and the finesse with which it is wielded displays something of the clarity of thought behind the words expressing that thought. If an idea can't be presented correctly, or succintly and clearly, is it really worth listening to? Fragmentation theory?

And what I do use use varies, as does the language I swear in.
When you go to the beach and you get sand in your, ermm, jocks (or swimsuit), do you go into the water and do the awkward squat and jiggle to get it out? Or do you wait to have a shower either at home or at the beach showers? Have you ever grown your hair past your shoulders? Have you ever knocked over a display at a supermarket and then walked away really fast? Have you ever walked into a glass door or window, not realising it was there? Are you a perfectionist, in that everything must be 'just so'? Would you ever shave someone's eyebrows off while they slept? Ever had any part of your body waxed? (A simple yes or no will suffice.. no need to go into details if you prefer not to.) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Do you own, or would you ever buy a gun?
Jocks? Swimsuit? Speedos - I'm English. And being Speedos there's not enough room to get sand in... It still is! Nope, but I've knocked one over and then complained that it was in my way. Yes. It depends what I'm doing, but generally: yes. No. I think Orleander asked this also: no. Very difficult in the UK. I've bought and owned air guns, airsoft replicas and inert weapons (the local police were unhappy about my AK-47) and I have a few antique swords.
In Australia we refer to those as 'budgie smugglers'. Tweet tweet.. Now to go and stare at naked flame to attempt to burn out the mental image. Oh. I always assumed you had short or a bald head. Don't ask me why. Could have been a photo I saw that may have been you. Anywho... Do you tie it up in a ponytail. Or do you braid it? Willie Nelson look? Or free form, blowing in the wind, Fabio style? *Sigh* You remind me of my husband. Did you walk away really fast, without looking back? Which leads onto the next question. Are you picky? And do you expect to get your own way and not be kept waiting? Why not? Follow on question. Would you get your ear lobes waxed when you start sprouting hair there? Do you, or would you, pluck out the white eyebrow hairs that will (or may already) be growing? Fair enough. Would you carry a loaded weapon if it were not so difficult in the UK? Do you know how to get rid of the smell of vomit from a wool rug? (Kids have been sick and one threw up on a wool rug and no amount of washing can get rid of the smell). Can you tell that I am bored?
Sawn-off shorts etc are used, but I'm an ex-competition swimmer and more comfortable in Speedos. Yeah, it's short except for the 1 inch wide strip at the back, which reaches the bottom of my shoulder blades. Usually just a couple of elastic bands, but every now and again a femal friend will insist on plaiting it, and sometimes I get braided and beads put in. I'll assume that's a compliment. Staggered mostly - I did it really hard. Picky but I rarely expect to get my own way... Because I wouldn't appreciate it being done to me. I'm 52 now and they haven't started so far.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! No I satrted getting "grey" hair at 24, and I'm hoping it will ALL turn white. No. Milk may do it: it works for fish smells. Of course not, I'm enjoying the fascinating questions.
But they just keep you hemmed in! I was about to say no freedom in the dangles, but that's just going too far. Must :bawl: now at having even thought it. Interesting! Plus you have hair there if you ever need a comb over. Just part it down the middle and gel them upwards so they meet at the top of your head! That said, would you ever consider a comb over? Nice. Ever hit yourself in the face with the beads? Umm yes. Of course it is! So you would consider yourself a patient man? It really is quite liberating. Your time will come. They can also start sprouting out of your earholes as well.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! You will cut a dashing figure with that inch strip of white hair at the back of your head. Hmmm might work. ------------------------------------------------- Why did you decide to post on sciforums? Is there a member (or members) that you would consider meeting if given the opportunity? (Again, a yes or no will suffice if you do not wish to go into details.) What is your favourite Jane Austen novel? (You'll have to excuse that question. I am currently re-reading Persuasion and.. and..).. Do you think you would make a good emperor of the world? What would be your reaction if informed that you were about to father triplets? ------------------------ Enough from me now.. I'm going to bed. And thanks for taking away my boredom. Toodlepip!

Hemmed in? Sleek and streamlined... No, if I get to the stage where I need a comb over I'll shave it all off. Oh yes, especially when the strip was down past my waist and braided, and I took kickboxing. It was tied up during sessions but after one class I demonstrated a move and my hair nearly strangled me, because it stopped spinning about an hour after I did. If I know there's going to be a wait, yes. If you say so. Something to look forward to? Oh joy unbounded! memorable. Already am. I was tracking down some information to debunk a UFO conspiracy theorist, google led me here and I found even more people needing debunking. I spent most of my first year in Pseudoscience. Yes. Already have met one. And I am planning to meet Zak. And a slim possibility of one overseas member at sometime if their visit here happens. The closest I ever got to Austen is the Blackadder series. I never even saw the TV series. Does "Clueless"(?) count? No, I'd find it far too easy to turn hyper-fascist (for your own good of course). Pure astonishment. I'm not involved with anyone and haven't been for longer than the "requisite period" for them to have children... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! 'sokay.
