Tuesday's (a little late) Riddle

I don't watch tv

I dont get to see too much either - 24 or West Wing with maybe some Friends and sport when I get the chance

Yes we drive on the left.. In Ireland they drive on the left too, but they are changing to the right... but so as not to be too drastic they are bringing in the changes gradually! (sorry to any Irish people here for this comment)

ok.. this is a serious question.. not sarcastic

how do you bring about a change like this gradually????? some roads left? some right?

sounds VERY confusing....

I believe this is actually a joke - something to do with the Irish being a little less intelligent than most people.....

Thanks twinkie... I didn't think it could be the same thing... Who he was had been puzzling me from the time I joined the site until today... I couoldn't understand why my question should have been noticed by the tag fairy until I spotted the big ads everywhere...

No problem! The first time you said it I thought you were joking....

I like DVDs instead of TV... usually we just buy 24 at Christmas and only watch it on DVD but this year we are watching.... I am not used to waiting a whole week between episodes!

I love SSR btw... I'll think of you in the lap of luxury whilst I am at the POP!

We almost did POP last time - did ASMu instead. Dont think there will be going back after SSR though

So are you saying that everyone who drives on the right is less intelligent? Is the joke that the changes happen gradually? or that they are happening at all?

 

[TwinkieMama]

Metric system? What's a metric system?

It is funny because it is true.

Metric system? What's a metric system?

OK that's what we use in the UK... it's where everything is divisible by 10 rather than by 12 / 16 (ie it's centimeters and metres, and kilos etc, rather than feet and inches etc)

I was going to put 'its cm's and metres, but thought everyone might get confused with how WDW cm's got into the conversation...

The joke is that they try and do it gradually....

OK the truth is that they aren't changing it at all... the joke is that only the Irish could possibly try and change it gradually... as no-one would know what to do...
