Speculative Thread

[StreetCowboy]

If there was a thread for idle and pointless speculation, would anyone use it?

SC

I offer three topics that could be wrapped up in this thread:

What has happened to our Caledonian co-posters?

Does beer look better through women's glasses?

Who is the video referee?

Feel free to speculate on these, or other topics, singly or in combination.

.

I'd like to speculate on why some jar lids are so difficult to open. Do they really need to be done up so tight?

[bkkjames]

I would like to speculate why locally made toilet plungers are so cheap and collapse inward on the first push down?

Also, why do new bottles of Heinz Ketchup bottles make it so hard to get the dam_n stuff out the first time?

[Rsquared]

I would like to speculate........why does beer make you feel like you should feel, without beer.

[Rsquared]

.......and why do I always think clearer after 2 or 3 beers, than I did before?

[David48]

Are you asking purely for speculation?

Or also encouraging speculation about what the answer might be?

I didn't want to speculate what your reply might be.

[David48]

For the above ... the question was being address to the OP, but feel free to speculate on that.

To the OP, would it fair to speculate that a sprinkling of relevance to Thailand would be appreciated to keep this OP open to speculation?

I'm just speculating that we need that otherwise the Mods might start internally speculating about a premature closure.

Just speculating like …

[David48]

Sorry for the triple post, but I have to exit for a few hours, no need to speculate why!

So, for Thai relevance was the OP in the thread in the TV Farming Forum speculating that there was a Thai Farming Myth

Oh, BTW, no need for specualtion as to the Author of that Farming post ... it was me ...

But you might speculate if this post was some unashamed cross-promotion!

Off to visit the Uncle now in the Nursing home before he speculates as my whereabouts.

The ketchup bottle thing is to make us men feel wanted....how come you know about toilet plungers?

That is what cleaning ladies are for James....

Go ahead - please speculate.

I think you are probably just shy about speculating, and wanted some encouragement from your peers.

SC

[StreetCowboy]

I had really hoped to encourage more speculation, rather than mere wondrous musings.

Personally, I think that they deliberately make ketchup more viscous than it needs to be so that

a) more gets left in the bottle at the end, so you buy more than you use

it comes out suddenly in big globs (can I say that on the internet?) and you use more than you intended.

And, following up on my previous query, on the match in question, it was Steve Ganson, though that may not always be the case. I would be interested in your predictions for the Challenge Cup final...

Buggar!

You've uncovered my secret paranoia about being shy and not wanting encouragement from anyone.

...I just want to be left alone and swim in my own fears.....but now and again I raise my head above the surface to have a gander and get scared again.......so I will never know why, when you drop a piece of toast with vegemite......it always lands vegemite side down.

Whoa is me.

[Traxster]

Hmmm I'm going to go away and speculate on all of the 'speculators' who have speculated in here.

[StreetCowboy]

I wonder why no-one is posting on this thread?

Is it because they don't know it's here?

I always thought the high viscoucity of ketchup was to deter people , obese teenagers mostly , from filling up pools and swimming in it . Then again if it was a really big teenager with wings he could probably fly in it .

How long do you reckon it would take to go mouldy?

Our swimming pool sand filter is out on the piss, and the pool is a bright green - similar to what Aneliane mentioned in another thread, but we don't have frogs in our pool.

Because of the vinegar (in the tomato sauce, not our pool), the onset of mould might be resisted, but I reckon with all the sugar, it would be needing a shave before the end of a week.

[GooEng]

i see a couple of the other caledonian posters have wandered in, so i might as well too.

what happened to the others, who are they? i hesitate to speculate (even here in a thread dedicated to just such idle supposition) ....

[CrazyKid]

I am speculating on how long before the Gold and stock speculators invade this thread

My number 1 speculation, hmm can't speculated on that 1

Found this;

speculate - talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way and with an element of doubt or without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion;

Rofl, thats my life

Mouldy obese French teenagers? Sounds a bit Monty Python to me - I'll let you post the link, I have trouble with youtube at the moment...

Actually, I meant the ketchup.

Our swimming pool is now the colour of a Louisiana swamp, and I'm worried I'm going to find a voodoo witch in the gazebo one night...

I think this was recorded in a swamp but I dont have any tomato ketchup to back up my wild allegations .

No one is posting here because all speculation on TV is to be limited to news threads where some violent act has been committed.

Perhaps the armchair csi crowd dont make it in to the farang pub all that often.

just speculating

That's a good point that you raise. And a reminder that we should be grateful for the things that God does not give us, as well as those that we do receive. Thank you for not posting a link to this thread in the News forum

Maybe he's an arse sober as well. Lots of us are.

[StreetCowboy]

I think it's pathetic to abandon a partner after 37 years cause you met a bar girl. Obviously given the demographics of this website, the bloke is a hero. We just had a topic on here where 95% of the participants think that it's okay for them to drink and drive cause they are "good drivers" so nothing is surprising at this point.

You're familiar with the dynamics of their marriage are you? Maybe the guy has been miserable as hell for years. You would deny him any last chance of happiness just because he's been married 37 years. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, you get one chance and that's it. I say good luck to him for getting off his arse and changing his situation. Maybe you'd prefer he just died a slow miserable death of boredom. BTW, what is a good reason to "abandon" a partner after 37 years?

Possibly he was "miserable as hell for years". The chances are though that if he was that unhappy he would have left years earlier, rather than suddenly finding a younger model in Thailand and deciding this was 'true love'.

Perhaps he was steeped in pessimistic misery, thinking things could not get any worse than the drudgery and boredom into which he was shackled, until he met the lady from Pattaya... We often forget how trivial and limited our misfortunes are, until we take the opportunity to surpass them

This thread is puzzling.

Why would anyone post in it? Boredom?

Why would someone start it in the first place? No sport to watch?

I just had cause to use a toilet plunger at the weekend, and I well appreciate your point. At first I imagined it was due to a lack of adequate test facilities at the manufacturer's premises; but then I thought that it was a failure to even consider the need for testing.

However, perhaps Thais use toilet plungers in a different way from you or I.

I wish I'd thought of posting here when I got home in time for the England France rugby league game, only to find that not only was it not on Astro, but the BBC radio commentary was not accessible from here either. I did get the finals of the Singapore Sevens on Sunday evening; a cracking final between HK and Japan on Saturday, and on Sunday Team Ecosse pushed the Fijians Daveta.... close.

I'm hoping for a COBRA - Penguins final next week at the Cobra 10s in Kelana Jaya, though I doubt I'll make it to the Saturday pool games.

Didn't the female video referee rule out all Caledonians because she thought beer looked much better whenever she took off her glasses?

You've met the 'video referee' ... all that SC can do is speculate ...
