Sometimes I buy a large bourneville and a large milky bar and try to forge my own sort of top deck with them when I eat it.  it's grand but nestlé white chocolate is failrly fuckin miserable.

Top Deck. The greatest achievement in chocolate technology, ever.

Secret bars would like a word.

Did the fella who invented the belt also design pants that have the belt loophole yokes? The belt is a great invention, certainly much better than braces, but it'd be fuck all use without the loops on pants.

I'm thinking it was probably an oul string going between 2 holes at first or like the strings on a corset sort of job keeping it going and then some bright spark got the idea of the holes all the way around and then came the belt. maybe.

A reading from the gospel "according to Luke" ......... (insert story) .......... This is the word of "Our Lord".

Thanks be to god.

So is it the word of "Our Lord", or is it what Luke said? I had a lot of mass under my belt before I ever considered that one. Are they taking the piss reading it out every time as in "haha gotcha ye fuckin dopes", or is it just that nobody ever noticed it before?

You're not supposed to think about those things. Thinking about them makes the rest of it fall apart like a Chinese motorcycle, to paraphrase Larry Burns. If this is the word of our lord then how can there be so many different versions and translations? If god, Jesus and the holy spirit are the same thing, then god sent himself to be sacrificed to save humanity from himself.

Yeah I better stop thinking and keep it random. It wouldn't do to be going round thinking about things or anything like that. It might be bad for business.

I know there's loads of them but that one in particular, I honestly can't figure out if it's a deliberate pisstake

After reading a few of the earlier posts in this thread I have discovered that you can still buy CD walkmen for under 30 quid in Argos!

The standard icon for saving a file is a floppy disk but many people clicking on it would never have seen a real one in their lives.

This came up on an FB thread lately with some other observations, like someone's daughter asking them why we "hang up" on a phonecall and not exit it.

I've moved to Office 365 in work and they've done away with text for a number of functions, just a little icon, and it struck me. Our PCs stopped coming with floppy drives over 10 years ago and over 3 years since they came with CD/DVD drives.

Mobile phones are still called phones when even though it's calling people is probably one of the lesser used functions

[Pedrito]

Yep..now ask yourself why we 'hang up' the phone, 'stay on the line', 'get off' the phone, why we ask people to 'hang on' etc etc and then we realise how complicated the English language can be.
