    They're called convertibles.

    Fans who cheer when a goal goes in after a flag has clearly been raised. I remember doing it as a kid as you were a bit slow on the uptake and didn't know to watch the officials etc but how do so many adults still do it? On Saturday Bauer (?) put the ball in the net a good few seconds after the whistle had gone yet hundreds of people jumped up and cheered.

    They're just practising in case we ever score a real goal

    Why people come to Portugal and buy CDs from a South American using a Greek instrument to play tunes written by a Swedish band?

    Multicultural appreciation?
  • Although if said Swedish band is ABBA, the purchaser in question is obviously an idiot.

    Not sure if this story has reached the UK yet, but how can some horrible fucker gain entry to a French zoo at night, shoot a white rhino and saw its horns off without being detected?

    It has.

    Shocking, brazen and disgusting.

    Being unsure of Internet name etiquette practices.

    Should you always use the 'handle' of the person and is it a faux pas to use their real first names (especially if you don't actually know them in reality but even if you do).

    For instance I know Algarve's real name but I have never met him. If I called him by his name is that considered rude? or what about if I called NorthStandSteve just Steve? Is the fact his name is in his handle (I presume) does that mean it is acceptable to drop it into the conversation?

    Confused of Lungshire.

    If it helps, I'm not going under this lot, so you can definitely just call me Neil.

    Of course it's Abba, hardly likely to be The Hives Neil... :smiley:

    This new takeover rumour. Not as frightful as some think, but I'm no less cautious.

  • How women keep a straight face when after spending 14 hours getting ready for a night out, they cone downstairs ten minutes before you need to go out and tell you you 'need to grt ready quickly, we need to leave in a minute'.

    Lucas electrical systems. Have had my MG for 20 years. When I got it, the reversing lights didn't work. It's a ball ache to repair the switch activated by the gearbox and it's not an MOT failure so haven't bothered. Was reversing out of the garage yesterday and noticed a reflection on the door. Checked and the lights are now working.

    Why when my trousers are torn I'm regarded as a scruffy git yet other people with torn trousers are wearing 'designer' clothes apparently.....
