The totally off-topic thread

You London contingent are letting the side down...what's with all the rain? My Wimbledon viewing is constantly being interrupted...or I have to watch boring players like Ferrer.

Yep. We actually have to put up with the cough weather... And since when were we responsible for the weather we may be awesome but we aren't that awesome...

I've been watching F1 all evening. FP2 was fun, but now GP2 qualifying is on and it is raining once again!

People should never use acronyms unless you want to be cryptic.

Ever....

Sorry. I forget that there are normal people around, sometimes!

FP2 = Free Practice 2, i.e. formula 1 2nd practice
GP2 = GP2 series, a different series that is a support category to F1 at all European races and a couple fly-away races too. More fun to watch than F1 I reckon

I just had a few more from the punnet in my fridge

The strawberry drought is over... I found a punnet, got my free double cream and demolished them. Quite nice.

Be creative, you two! Why don't you make an Eton Mess?

And don't pull out the 'too much effort' card....

Oh, I have many skills you're not aware of, perhaps the weather is one of them....

Freedom is another one, which I have just perfected.

Lol. Don't confuse illusions of awesomeness with skills.

We spent a year living in California and the one biggest thing we learnt was how to chocolate dip strawberries and then inject them with Grand Marnier.
Now we are still addicted to just the chocolate dipping.

I used them when I went on the Sydney harbour bridge walk. They were very clear in a very windy environment.

Just depends what you want to use them for covert military ops probably good, listening to music probably not so good but I don't know like everything there's good and bad I'm sure

How do you find them for concentration though - aren't you getting two lots of sound? ie what you want to listen to through headphones vs the dropkick nearby on his mobile TALKING LOUDLY. Id think you would have trouble tuning one lot of noise out. (Maybe my brain/ears just can't do more than one thing at a time....)

I think most people are able to do more than one thing at a time.

How do you concentrate though and block out annoying noise?

The Jukebox family is addicted to toffee coated strawberries - a treat discovered in Taipei's night markets. The shell is wafer-thin, an so you get a wonderful crunchy sweetness with your tart strawberry...

I know I can. I can breathe AND walk at the same time :mrgreen:

(I'll let others work out the connection to this thread! )

Should I be a little embarrassed for getting what you mean? That is the key, no doubt.

Yes, a big evening here - The Dutch TT, F1, Moto 2 and Moto 3
And what about Jorge.... just cant imagine flying back to Spain to get my collar bone fixed then flying straight back to Holland to jump on a race bike.
Just hope he gets the required medical clearance.

 

[serfty]

Pate ...

 

[Buzzard]

Is that a snail?????

Maybe it's a French pate!

I think you've nailed it. Thought it would be a funny pic to throw in the mix.

Passing the time in here while waiting for a recharge of lives on candy crush. Playing it keeps me awake while the tv is being flicked from AFL to Rugby (Union) to Wimbledon and I think the Tour De France starts soon.

 

[Shelf]

Candy crush?

:O

Bit of a nothing night on tv, might have to see what I can find on the interwebs

 

[JessicaTam]

F1 qualifying is about to start...

And my iPad mini is not charging. Grrr.

Edit: those two statements are unrelated.
