Things i don't understand

Do you understand men in their twenties not wanting to leave their parents home?

 

I left home at 20, and believe me steve and S13, it ain't worth getting involved in the mortgage crap as it is a proper headbake. Especially when the missus believes she understands but in reallity doesn't.

 

Hmm, complex numbers and differentiation are a nasty piece of work too

+1.

I shall expand a tad on my first post.

 

"Lift and thrust counteracting weight and drag."

 

Lift counteracts the weight due to the shape of the wings and the streamlined shape of the plane which forces the plane upwards. The engines produce thrust to move it forward (counteracting the drag).

Grown ups don't live with their parents...

 

And you don't need a mortgage to move out...

Loads of things. Here's just a few:

 

If the universe started with the Big Bang, presumably something had to be around to cause it..? And what caused that something to be there..? And what caused... and so back ad-infinitum until the proto-universe disappears up its own jacksi.

 

If the universe has a finite size... what's on the other side..?

 

Why do some people maintain that the Earth is 6000 years old, or is flat, when it is patently obvious to the everyday viewer that it is much older, and is ball shaped..?

 

Why do people resort to insulting each other, rather than agreeing to disagree, over the Saints Web when they clearly know that all they'll get back is counter insult, and worse, possibly an infraction..?

 

IIRC, the UK has an average of 192 days a year when it rains. So why don't people take every advantage and go outside when it's sunny [NB: I'm as bad as everyone else]..?

Look at and read about the Hubble Ultra Deep Field photo - that'll blow your mind.

Weirdos who eat some of their shopping before they have paid for it.

 

What's that all about? Are they too obsessed with filling their faces that they can't wait until they have paid at the till?

 

It's rude in my opinion and I would imagine it's roots lie in Chavism.

 

I have no idea why it makes me angry, maybe it's because I don't understand the need to eat a packet of crisps or a bag of sweets until I have paid for them.

 

The one I saw today was a fat Moosehead with Indian ink tattoos all down her arm and she had two snotty nosed brats with her who were screaming and bawling all down the aisles. She even wore fake Reebok tracksuit bottoms, think they were called Rebock.

 

What a Mongolian society we have become.

I don't think it's chavism. I think its roots lie in being european, because many europeans have a graze at produce they are about to buy, to see if it is of decent enough quality, or to compare with other produce. We British tend to look down on what is perfectly reasonable behaviour. I join in when in France or Italy, but refrain from doing it in Britain.

 

BTW, I think you need to change the shops you purchase from if you're getting angry. It's obviously bothering you a lot. Are you sure it isn't just the noise of screaming kids and commerce that bothers you..? ;)

The people I see eating the food in supermarkets prior to payment are not being cultured. They are , as Barney Trubble said, just rude , ignorant, mannerless scum.

OK, different types. I used to go into places like Tesco occasionally [that's another story] but since stopping shopping there, and keeping Sainsbury and the like down to a minimum, preferring the butcher and [green]grocer, etc... I don't tend to come across these types. Food shopping is also much more of a pleasure than the chore it used to be too.

Just as well. It has been decided in the House of Lords that it is theft. It sticks in my mind because it's the question I got wrong in my Criminal Law exam.:mad:

Mandarin (the language, not the citrus fruit)

Clementine (the Mark Owen song, not the citrus fruit)

Satsuma (the citrus fruit, how many different names does a small orange need?)

People who try to explain how aeroplanes work without mentioning the Bernoulli Effect
