I have one sock that looks like it is inside out no matter which way you turn it. This used to really frustrate me until I decided, just leave it man, why do you even need to know the truth? And now that crazy sock just...is.

Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Everyone seems to have an alibi.

Who doesn't like cookies? If they don't, I don't want to know them.

So you're saying it was a conspiracy?

Why 'forty' isn't spelled 'fourty'.

Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

― Waldorf-L, Thursday, 16 September 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Why 'forty' isn't spelled 'fourty'

Yeah, and what about 'fifty'? Shouldn't it be 'fivety'? And what about 'sixty'? Oh wait, that one works.

On football matches on Sky, how come you can hear the sound of the ball being kicked, but you can't hear the players shouting (which is surely louder)?

― Joe Kay (feethurt), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG I always wondered that too!

I do think we could solve some of these though.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

We could... but maybe we don't want to. After all, we may have spent years becoming resigned.

Another personal one is: why do Lloyds TSB keep sending me MASSIVE chequebooks even though I keep asking for normal ones because I am a) not visually impaired or otherwise disabled and b) not known for writing cheques for amounts too large to fit on a normal cheque.

Joe and Adam they stick a mic device on the ball and turn it up but tend to keep general pitch sound down because of all the swearing

why didn't I see Adam in London?

I miss football on Sky.

Looking at football news these days is like entering some weird alternate dimension.

xpost - steve, because I was pretty busy and also flaked out on people a lot, a worrying tendency of mine, I had fun though, almost too much fun, perhaps I will be back sooner rather than later?

awwwww yeeeah

Are you serious about the mic in the ball Stevem? I have no idea.
But then if that ball was kicked into the crowd and replaced with a new ball, we'd hear the sound of some guy in the crowd eating his meat pie instead of ball sounds.
Also players could make their point of view known on TV by picking up the ball and speaking directly into it.
But what other explanation can there be?

― Joe Kay (feethurt), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

My guess about the football thing would be that it works in the same principal as a subwoofer. It cuts out any noise above a certain frequency. hence why footballers kicking a ball always sounds like such a deep, meaty boot.

― Craig Gilchrist, Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I sometimes wonder why Lloyds TSB keep sending me chequebooks despite the fact I never use them.

― robster (robster), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

DEEP, MEATY BOOT

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 16 September 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know, i thought they put a bug-type mic on the ball, and if it was lost to the crowd they just turned it off. they have some way of controlling the levels of crowd, players/pitch and ball separarely evidently.

They swear on the pitch!!!??? In front of all those young people!!?? For shame.
