Some of my own farts are actually not too bad smelling

a weird one, mainly because that's either a very common view or an incredibly rare one.

They say success is like a fart...only your own smells good.

Queefs?

Because a lot of farts are just your body getting rid of air you swallowed when eating. It's the ones that come from fermentation that you need to watch smell out for

Mr Panda thought Mrs Panda was ugly, so he bashed her with a chair rather than being coxed into that awful mating rigmarole again.

New business idea, XXX panda porn. Tricky to find shagging pandas to film though.

Sideline one, panda Viagra.

Sideline two, hi-tech panda sex dolls. Oh, er hang on.

I'd agree with that. However, if we had a new C5 today it would be banned from the roads on safety reasons. Lots of potentially great travel ideas have died off because health and safety overreacts before anything even goes wrong.

Trackballs are better to use than a mouse.

Nope. Smart (multi touch) trackpads are better than any other option.

Abolish the TV licence and set the BBC free to compete on equal terms with allcomers.

Most of the UK agree with this so I wouldn't say it's unpopular.

One that raised much distress in the office today. An office of varying ages but all disagreed with these musical thoughts.

Michael Jackson was better than Elvis.
Queen were better than The Beatles.
Shirley Bassey was/is better than Adele.
David Bowie was better than them all.

[grumbledoak]

I thought The Monkeys were better than The Beatles.

Thank you.

Good grief, I often listen to Pleasure Dome when I'm in the gym so I really should have got that, I was thinking it was somebody much more modern.

Parrot indeed.

I thought this the other day watching something on YT - it had a fully grown panda being ushered in for a bit of nookie - it had zero interest, tried to get up on a branch to eat something, fell off onto it's head and just lay there for a bit.

Rubbish.

As porn goes, that is pretty niche.

The Monkees were quite good too. Until they started thinking they could write their own stuff.

Sorta the opposite of the Beatles really


because PH... pedantry matters

I like FGTH but can’t bring myself to listen that all the way through - he just doesn’t have the voice or gravitas for it IMO.

I’m a big Springsteen fan though. I’m the very opposite of a Manfred Mann fan. And I hate how they pronounce ‘deuce’ as ‘douche’ in Blinded by the Light.

Do humans serve any useful biological purpose?

Humans are vital to the earths eco system. Who would be trying to remove all of the plastic that's ended up in the oceans if we were not here.

I don't think it would be. We have recumbent bicycles, which are usually ridden by bores who will tell you how aerodynamic they are. They have to have a flag on them so you don't completely disappear around vans and 4x4s. Isn't a C5 basically an electrically assisted recumbent with an unnecessary amount of fairing?

i have nothing against people who are gay, it's totally fine with me. If my kids ended up being, then that's fine too.

However, from an evolutionary standpoint, because it stops the breeding line, it is technically a disease (as extremely unfashionable as it is to say openly... unfortunately i can't think of another word but i am very much not using it as an attacking term), in the same way that anything that stops procreation or causes it to fail is.

The issue here is there are better terms than disease. That implies that it needs to be fixed or solved somehow. It is more a condition, like autism. You have also ignored the fact that it is more of a spectrum. There are bisexuals, there are also other ways that you can procreate these days. I have heard of gay men and lesbians having like one straight relationship to have a child, which may seem like bizarre behaviour but may point to a natural instinct to have children, regardless of sexual orientation.

It is an unpopular opinion when it is used as a reason to deny homosexuals the right to marry or to claim that there is some reason they shouldn't be near children.

I don't like children, they are always sticky for some reason and sound like far too much responsibility, so even if I was straight I wouldn't want them.
