THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

....New Zealand students have put their school on the map by etching giant phallic symbols onto its playing fields with weedkiller, in a prank immortalised on Internet satellite service Google Earth.

While the stunt took place more than two years ago, its effects coincided with satellites taking photographs of Hamilton for Google Earth, meaning web users cop an eyeful whenever they view Fairfield College.

Local resident David McQuoid told the Waikato Times he was online searching for a property when he came across the crude etchings, some of which measure almost 15 metres (50 feet) long.

"At first I thought it was a large piece of art work," he told the newspaper.

The school's acting principal Gerhard van Dyk was less convinced of the symbols' artistic merit, telling the Times he had been unable to catch the pranksters, who burned the phalluses into the grass on a weekend in May 2009.

By the time he arrived at the school the next Monday, the grass was already dying and giant penises were emerging all over the property.

A total of six became apparent in subsequent days, as school authorities scrambled to cover them up.

"There's not really much we could do about it," he said. "The caretaker took some more weedkiller and tried to camouflage it a bit."

Van Dyk said he would contact Google about removing the etchings but the Internet giant told the Times that they could not be blurred, as Google Earth images came directly from satellites, unlike those used for Google Street View.

Online reaction to the stunt on Fairfax Media's stuff.co.nz website was mostly positive, with one reader commenting: "A funny harmless prank, much better than the kids robbing houses or burning down buildings."

However, there was some outrage, including a reader who posted: "This is not funny, what a sick sense of humour you people have... This shows the twisted minds of today's youth."

I appreciate the posts on MoneyAm are properly regulated compared to other similar sights, but I have just had a post rejected through inappropriate language because I posted that, "In the past there have been some idiots post on this thread".

I replaced the word, 'Idiot' with 'Childish' and it was accepted.

A case of MoneyAm going too far!

aldwickk - 09 Jun 2011 16:43 - 11005 of 81564

You should have replaced it with retard , am sure you would have no problem's with that unless its been replaced with Childish , then am wrong.

Fred1new - 09 Jun 2011 23:03 - 11006 of 81564

I would like to have sight of the site where you published childish instead of idiot.

But I think retard would do for an Aid on some of these threads.

If they allow fred to post then they should accept the truth!!

HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES:

First, dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Second, replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell!! They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin.

And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, eager to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.

This is definitely a win- win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why didn't Bush or Obama think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

greekman - 10 Jun 2011 08:41 - 11009 of 81564

This is me,

Having strippers on an airline would be highly dangerous. Just think of all that testosterone flying about (pun intended).
As for myself, I would find it very uncomfortable, remember most airlines only have so much leg room (think about it). Also in an emergency, it might prevent me getting out the emergency exits.
I love the comment re hijackers. It would also make it much harder (no not that) for them to spot the Air Marshalls, as it would make their weapons harder to spot.

Note..........Funny how most Muslims are taught that seeing naked women who they are not married to is wrong, and yet if they carry out Jihad, they are promised several virgins when they die.

And the seats are usually full of the vertically challenged type. People under 6'3", you don't need leg room seats.

If the way Islam treats women is anything to go by, probably a couple of Tesco vouchers.

Arise 'Sir Bruce Forsyth'.

:-)

Brucie gets his Knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

And a well deserved one too, IMHO. This utterly professional entertainer has been making me smile since he started doing 'Sunday Night at the London Palladium' some time around 1960 or thereabouts. That was more than 50 years ago and he is still going strong. He has lots of fans, admirers and supporters - and I'm one of them.

dreamcatcher - 11 Jun 2011 08:00 - 11017 of 81564

About time to. Why the wait so long?

Fred1new - 11 Jun 2011 09:51 - 11018 of 81564

Why the bother?

Fred - your life most be so miserable.

Well done Bruce, he's given a lifetime to entertainment. Shouid have come ten years ago. Some nice news for once in this not so good world we live in sometimes.

Out of the gloom
of despondency.
A voice said
smile, be happy
things could be worse.
I smiled and was happy
And things got worse.
