Originally posted by FMF A: For the grown ups, yes, certainly. The compassion is occasionally somewhat more strained with the neighbours' kids, at times!
Q: Could even more money be somehow squeezed from nostalgia than is already the case?
A: Since nostalgia has always been a cash cow I would think yes.
Q: I don't have a turntable that works should I sell my, extensive, LP collection or buy a new turntable?
Originally posted by Great Big Stees Q: I don't have a turntable that works should I sell my, extensive, LP collection or buy a new turntable?
A: If you don't like the idea of hunting the titles down and downloading them as mp3s or FLACs, I'd do what my brother-in-law did: buy a good turntable, and make a digital copy of each LP - or get someone to do it for you (he found a university student who did it for a fee) - and then sell the LPs along with the almost new turntable to cover all the costs.
Q: Saying one thing and doing the opposite is call hypocrisy; what is the best words to describe saying one thing and doing nothing?
A: I prefer 'opposition' (and also prefer reading things that I disagree with or that tell me my ideas are wrong). Being self-employed, information about whether what I do is wrong or right is very important.
Q: Do they hold the Olympics on Leap Years deliberately so that they have an extra day to get ready?
A: Walk up and stand slightly too close to them and say "Can I help?" quite loudly and then try to catch the eye of any people who turn to look before turning back to stare at the parent.
Q: When people have two arms in the air pointing fingers at the sky or waving in time to the music at rock concerts, what proportion of them are secretly embarrassed to be doing it, do you think?

q. would a talking donkey rate a place at yer table, or would he have to stay outside with the rest of the mythical creatures you have in yer yard???
A: Of course it would but I think I'd rather share their table outside. They are a lot more interesting than any humans who might be at my table.
Q: Why do we really use daylight savings time in some places and not others?

A: All politics is local politics.
Q: Are preparations for the Winter Olympics always one day behind compared to the Summer games on account of there not being a Leap Day in the lead up to them?

A: Nah. They just have to be better at planning.
Q: Why is it "people" like to tell other people what to do with their lives, ya know like anti-abortionists?
