Fucking hell!

On a show about getting healthy there’s this woman, she just ordered 60 fricking quids worth of indian food! Not expensive food either, its £60 because there’s so bloody much of it! The guy needed both arms to carry it in!

Apparently she does this regularly!

And she’s not even very fat!

Her job is watching TV!

This is the most difficult thread to click on ever.
Did she really eat 60 squids? I never heard of tandori calamari?

I must apologise for that title. It was too tempting.

Lob, ol’ buddy. If their’s ever a thread title that visually catches my eye, 9 times out of ten, it’s by you.

! to you as well.

Bloody hell, I had to clean my mouse to be able to click on this thread.

No, I think Lobsang meant 60 quid, as in pounds. :wink:

Hopefully my thread will be the catalyst for all dopers getting optical mice.

Just be glad the title wasn’t . (full stop. or period for the majority of the boards, or just DOT)

Sigh…the beauty of an optical mouse :smiley:

Lore Sjoberg said it first, but it remains true. A “!” always says, “Charlie Brown is startled.”

I have a question, though. If this was a show about staying healthy, why did it feature a professional tv-watcher eating a tonne of Indian food? Or does therein lie the rub?

‘rub’?

It was showing her pre-healthy lifestyle. (which I envy - massive indian meal!, alcohol, and being paid to watch TV!, bitch!)
I think ‘!’ is wonderfully expressive. It says “I am alarmed, and speechless”(which I was) And it also seems to say :dubious:

Not right now, but thanks anyway.

To me it says less “alarmed” and more “I am surprised and possibly chagrined.” Though being chagrined is better symbolized by smoke issuing from one’s cranium.

Just a figure of speech.

It dates back to an old Danish folk remedy for insomnia; they’d make a balm out of rancid butter. Shakespeare even wrote about it in Hamlet’s soliloquy, “To sleep: perchance to dream: oh, there’s the rub.”

Thanks, RobotArm. I would’ve explained it myself, but I never let an opportunity for a cheap joke pass me by.

Really!!

Actualy I guess a thread titled “.” would be the most difficult.

I thought this thread was going to be a reincarnation of the (in)famous “a” thread (I’d link it if the search allowed for <4 character searches).

If you have trouble clicking on the “!” you can make your browser font larger and make the target a little easier to hit by holding down CTRL and scrolling the wheel on your mouse (works on IE, don’t know about other browsers, though).

pfff. anyone who can’t click on it at normal size isn’t worthy enough to read the thread :slight_smile:

This belongs in the Pit. Lemme move it on over there for ya. It might require both arms to do it. Ya owe me 60 quid.

?

So what does a quid translate to in terms of US $$$ ? I just want to get an idea of how ! I’m supposed to be here…

About 90-100 US$.
