Drunken Bungle Whore

This thread is a SIAL free zone. It is here for all those people who actually have a life and thus have far better things to do than to trawl through all possible variations of thread names before posting something funny.

People posting funny links do so with the intention of cheering the rest of us up - something that should be encouraged in this cr@ppy world - especially now it's raining!

Condescending geeks with no life away from the computer, eager to be the first with the playground shout of "SIAL" can bugger off and annoy someone else!

Personally I love seeing anything funny to brighten my day - and I really don't care if I've seen it before. (Does anyone shout SIAL when the repeats of Fawlty Towers are on? I think not!)

So please - feel free to post here anything that you think will make our lives just that little bit brighter - and we can all gang up on the sad SIAL brigade!

Irish-French war

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jacques Chirac, The French Prime Minister, was sitting in his office
wondering what kind of mischief he could perpetrate against the United
States when his telephone rang.



"Hallo, Mr. Chirac!", a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down
at the Harp Pub in County Sligo, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that
we are officially declaring war on you!"


"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is
your army?"



"Right now," said Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is me self,
me cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus , and the entire dart team
from the pub. That makes eight!"



Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one hundred thousand
men in my army waiting to move on my command."



"Begorra! !" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!"



Sure enough, the next day, Paddy called again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is
still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"



"And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Chirac asked.



"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."



Chirac sighed, amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks
and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to one
hundred fifty thousand since we last spoke."



"Saints preserve us!" said Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."



Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is
still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified
Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit,
and four boys from the Shamrock Pub have joined us as well!"



Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell
you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military
complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And
since we last spoke, I've increased my army to two hundred thousand!"



"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back."





Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin',
Mr. Chirac! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the
war."



"I'm sorry to hear that," said Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?"



"Well," said ! Paddy, "we've all had a long chat over a bunch of pints,
and decided there's no foo-kin way we can feed two hundred thousand
prisoners!"

I belive Marcus posted a similar rant a while back....So I guess this thread is a SIAL too

Drunken Bungle Whore

For the record - this is my rant from the Schtop thread - so maybe I'm SIALing myself...



Shouldn't this thread be titled


"I have so little life that I spend all my waking hours in SN and am therefore fully aware of every post and link that has ever been made. Additionally I fully search ALL previous posts, in every possible word combination, before making a post. And as if all that wasn't enough, I am completely incapable of ignoring links that I've previously seen and assume them all to have been posted by idiots, rather than by people who have a life outside and may have missed the previous posting. Afterall these people have obviously only done this to annoy me rather than to try and spread the odd smile around an otherwise dull and, at times, quite scary world"

Or would that have been a SIAL too?

like this maybe? I have so little life that I spend all my waking hours in SN and am therefore fully aware of every post and link that has ever been made. Additionally I fully search ALL previous posts, in every possible word combination, before making a post. And as if all that wasn't enough, I am completely incapable of ignoring links that I've previously seen and assume them all to have been posted by idiots, rather than by people who have a life outside and may have missed the previous posting.

In typical NSR style---->

Come Red...you've seen Marcus post the exact same rant...even with the same slur on people who spend too much time here?

He hasn't got a leg to stand on

I can't help browsing SN whilst on the phone (in the never ending queuing systems)...blame the banks, Insurance companies, tech support, large contract customers etc etc.

One simple link to know if something is SIAL: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=381000

Is that really too hard? Or does anyone need some extra Computeach lessons to work it out for them?



And how about trying to be yourself rather than taking the credit for posting a link to someone elses genius work of art/humour and posting whatever junk you found in your e-mail inbox today?

A Moral Dilema?



There is only one question and only one answer to this, but it is a very important one.



By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

It features a possibly unlikely, and completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a fast decision.



Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water.
He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move closer ... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realise who it is. It's George W Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under ... forever. You have the following options - you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the worlds most powerful men. So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:

Ali... who cares a toss whether it is SIAL or not? Your average person finds it easier to post something and not give a FF if it is SIAL or not, rather than waste time trying to find the Schtop thread and trawl all through the links on it, just to please a few geeks.

I see it, that the aim of Beth's thread is to be a tongue in cheek dig at a certain person....

MJW

I find the easiest course of action, if I've seen a thread before is to press the 'back' button on my browser. This sends me back to the list of threads where I can then click on one that I haven't read.

I may not have the spare 2mins to reinstall MSN but at least I have the free 5 seconds to bookmark the schtopp thread

Just think how much time in my busy life I could save if there were no SIAL threads for me to unwitting click upon...it may amount up enough spare time to fix my computer properly

Ahh well...heres to seeing the quad bike another 10 times

For the Geeks

Picture the scene.

You're stood there having a conversation at a party when some spotty geek shouts from the corner (where he's sitting picking his nose) - "Excuse me Jason - that was discussed over there half an hour ago ".

What would you do ?

1. Ignore him
2. **** him
3. Say - Oh sorry Geeko we'll talk about something else then so you don't have to listen in to our boring conversation anymore.

Disagree...I think it's more like that mate you know who every Friday night after a few pints always tells the same story over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Eventually you you get to a point where you cannot adhere to the normal "grin and nod" common courtesy and end up smacking him round the back of the head and tell him that you, and everyone else within earshot has heard it a dozen times before.

Redkop

That's just all wrong Ali.

1. How many users actually are aware of the Schtop thread?

2. How many users are aware of it but say '**** it' and ignore it?

3. How many users have it in their Favourites?

4. How many users really care?

I can truthfully answer 1 & 2 as yes and 3 & 4 as no. I bet I am not in the minority either.

If the mods were on the ball they would Sticky the Schtop thread, thereby saving bandwidth and themselves the job of merging threads.

Maybe if I went missing the thread would be made sticky.

Redkop

Hardly in the same context!
