The How Utterly Random Thread

[Paul Monk]

Cucumbers are fruits too. There is no logic when it comes to salads I'm afraid.

[Wayne]

Well no, the bacon isn't part of the salad or else we'd be arguing that keisch, nachos and pies are vegetables too. But as part of the salad, you only properly have vegetables, not fruits. Savvy?

Occasionally, you see a word that's spelled so badly that you just have to point it out.
It's Quiche.

we'd be arguing that... pies are vegetables too.

So steak-and-kidney pies don't count towards my 5-a-day, then? Bugger.

[Antony Cox]

There's a certain well-known DW fan who would argue with that, I'm sure!

[Dirk Gently]

Steak & Kidney pies have potato in don't they? That must count for something, surely?

[Antony Cox]

I believe potatoes do contain nutrients but not as effective as the same nutrients as green leaf vegetables such as spinach, thus they're not generally considered to be part of the five-a-day theory.

[Dirk Gently]

Actually I was probably thinking of pasties, and perhaps I should have added a .

[shada pavlova]

Whilst we're talking about food, a vegetable curry is a sin against nature.

[Dave Tudor]

Though it would count towards your 5-a-day!

[shada pavlova]

I'd rather drink a pint of tar and have THAT count towards my 5-a-day.

Hee heee hee! Ha ha ha! Almost done!

Here's a funny coincidence- the last two Fridays I've been caught up in criminal excitement at the same time and at the same place in Leeds city centre.

This Friday just gone, I was walking down to the station at about 4.20 in the afternoon and saw a fat, balding man in a Bradford City goalkeeper's top walking uphill and exchanging words with a man in a high-vis jacket from the railway. This was clearly a delaying tactic, as after a few seconds they were joined by a PCSO who tried to detain the City fan, who offered violence and was met with several squirts of CS spray or whatever it is they use, before being forced to lie on the floor while about half a dozen coppers gradually appeared from various corners of the city centre.

The previous week, I'd been about twenty yards further down the road towards the station and just become conscious of a young black man being chased down the road by a short, fat security guard. Without making any assumptions about the black man's ethnicity, criminality or athleticism, he quickly had the beating of the security guard (including clever use of a stationary bus as an obstacle). Same time, same place, a week apart.

I think you mean this stuff:

[Dave Tudor]

I seem to have left an important part of my voice, somewhere, somewhere in a field in Staffordshire.

[shada pavlova]

Is it the part of your voice that says "pudding"?

[Si Hunt]

Good job we got a few adventures in the can before it went then!

Si.

'Adventures in the can' - sounds like the title of a very dodgy TV show!!!

Informant -> Out-five-woman.... oh, I give up!

Out-five-women-coffee?

[shada pavlova]

I hate cryptic crosswords too.

[Antony Cox]

Out-five-women-coffee?

Yes, I suppose that was the obvious answer - well done Tim!
