Do we need a new thread for all the things that are troubling you ?

@thom
Is the universe getting larger or smaller & if it is, at what speed is it doing so?
Is reality, really real or just an illusion?
Worse still, is it just a computer simulation with someone sat with their finger hovering near the OFF switch?
Will miclke hit his £1,000,000 mark he set himself?
Will my numbers come up on the lottery as the sole jackpot winner, on both the national & Euro Lotteries?
Will I buy a new bike if they do?

I am not going into it but it was strange.

[QUOTE 2526040, member: 259"]The strangest thing I have ever seen was about 50 buddhist monks and assorted onlookers pushing a flatbed truck with an elaborately dressed elephant on it up a hill in Kandy in Sri Lanka during the moon festival. Why it couldn't walk by itself wasn't ever made clear, but apparently it also meant we couldn't get beer anywhere either. [/quote]
Elephant unable to walk, you not able to get beer anywhere. I'd say the elephant had drunk the lot.

I tried but the damn things wouldn't move!

I once had a step dad who asked me 'how can you make a match burn twice without being relit?' and I never forgave him after he showed me.

One match!

My ar$e - your face.

I'll get my school blazer.

One match!

I'll get my school blazer.

"Have you got a match, mate?"
"Not since Errol Flynn died..."

Born in the flame
Conceived in the earth
Some use me with shame
And others with mirth
Once I've been tamed I hardly miss
And all men fear my deadly cold kiss
They cloak themselves in shells and chains
They try to fend off the inevitable pain
I am gifted to both soldiers and kings
My beauty can rival an angels wings
But do not forget the homely hearth
For it was probably my first place of birth
