How people are happy to share, and take the piss out of, supposedly genuine Tweets about people believing the gold cross surviving the ND blaze was an act of god, but go into orbit about this -

More confusing and less deliberately inflammatory (no pun intended), how anyone can suggest that a cross surviving is a sign from god, but a cathedral burning down, isn't...3

Ignoring how tacky they are - I always thought car 'Baby on Board' signs were an indication to fellow drivers to have a bit of patience and give extra room.
I can't work out whether there's one driver local to me who owns a garage and moves the sign from car to car, or every single owner of such a sign in Surrey is a bloody maniac.3 -
Even more confusing is how the people sharing the Tweet think the reply 're the gold cross surviving is really funny (Because the burning point of gold is 1064' and the burning point of wood is only 600'), but don't realise that the fire could've still reached 1064'.
NB *Not saying I believe it was an act of god, but just pointing out the floor in their post1 -

Floor in their posts? Notre dame no longer has a floor.
That's the flaw in your post sir.3 -
My default is that anyone who believes in a God is totally mental, so of course they would believe it........Algarveaddick said:More confusing and less deliberately inflammatory (no pun intended), how anyone can suggest that a cross surviving is a sign from god, but a cathedral burning down, isn't...4 -

Which reminds me of the time I was queuing up to buy my daughter a pair of trainers in Sports Direct and a fella accused me of pushing in, even though he was perusing a rack 30 yards away. When I argued the fact and stood my ground, he declared, 'You, sir, are a bastard!'Dazzler21 said:Floor in their posts? Notre dame no longer has a floor.

People standing waiting for a bus that stand out in the road so they can get a better view to see if the bus is coming, it’s not as if this will make any difference to how quick you get on it will it?2

If only buses were red and really really big, then they wouldn't have to do that.......er....?buckshee said:People standing waiting for a bus that stand out in the road so they can get a better view to see if the bus is coming, it’s not as if this will make any difference to how quick you get on it will it?2 -
The thing is I remember waiting for the 161 from Woolwich common back in the early eighties doing this, I now look back or watch others doing it and have no idea what we thought we were gaining.Greenie said:

I do this at Dartford - but only because I can get one of three different buses home and they all go from different bus stops. I have to try and figure out what number is on the front first and then dash to the right stop. If I step out into the bus stop area (not road!) then I can get a better view.buckshee said:People standing waiting for a bus that stand out in the road so they can get a better view to see if the bus is coming, it’s not as if this will make any difference to how quick you get on it will it?0 -
If you take too long to decide, you will have to hope the bus numbers are under the bonnetWilma said:

Not knowing how old you or she is, a lot comes to down to learning maths at school. Being an old git myself we learnt maths, doing sums in our head, now of course you have calculators, they will give you the answer, but you have no idea how it worksBigbadbozman said:How qualified accountants (my line manager specifically) do not seem to be able to comprehend basic mathematics0 -
She’s about 12-15 years younger than me in her early/mid 30’s. Calculators were banned at my primary school.ross1 said:

Why when some people have holes in their trousers I get told it's fashion yet when I put on a comfortable pair of trousers with a hole in I get told I'm a cheapskate and should throw the aforementioned pair of trousers out.
Maybe this should be on the things that show you're getting old thread.

I haven't been in this thread in a while, so a bit late to the punch here, but it confuses me why you wouldn't go with 'Betduq'.Algarveaddick said:2
