In my daily life I often hear people mutter "fucking know-it-all" behind my back while making the sort of hand gesture you hardly need the man from HSBC to translate for you.
Personally, and being naturally modest, I think this is overstating it a little and in reality I merely know an awful lot. But that notwithstanding, and as I have a few hours spare hours to spare this afternoon before going to the pub, please feel free to ask me anything you like.

It's actually "waste not" meaning do not waste and "want not" means that if you don't waste, you'll want for nothing..........
Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

*67*
Is the number you are thinking of right now.
"Why don't animals need toilet paper?"
Becuase in the event of a traffic accident they will not be wearing underpants.

Why does Blythe think he should answer questions on this thread rather than starting one of his own?

"Why does Blythe think he should answer questions on this thread rather than starting one of his own?"
I have established a strong brand strength position since Friday so when people think "I wonder..." they now immediately think "Robinson will know...". Realising this would make it difficult for his own thread to break into the market Blythe decided to muscle into this thread and try to win over some punters. He even tried answering questions I had already answered.
Naturally though I welcome any contributions as one can never have enough answers. Expcet those that make it look like people know more than me which must be the result of some dubious internet trickerey and should be ignored.

What is really going on underneath Denver Airport?

"Who will win tonight’s game Georgia Tech or Connecticut? Why didn’t you pick either team to win in your bracket?"
I was going to pick UConn for the whole thing but felt that Okefor's back would not hold up so they wouldn't get past, erm, Stanford.
So for tonight's game UConn will win if they can get most of a game out of Okefor. If not look for the Yellow Jackets to win it all.
"What is really going on underneath Denver Airport?"
That's where the alien spaceship from Roswell really is -- "Area 57" is a cover to distract the weirdos and keep the conspiracists occupied.

You are asking people to help you but have chosen to do so via a confusing, badly punctuated and poorly written post. If you cannot take the time and trouble to carefully construct such a request you are unlikely to get much help.

Matrix Revolutions. Why? And to whom should I address my complaint?

"Matrix Revolutions. Why? And to whom should I address my complaint?"
Blame yourself. If so many people you hadn't gone to see the others they wouldn't have made that one.

Who's the real Berlin Fritz?

Your responses are astounding most of us.
Is this you ?

"Who's the real Berlin Fritz?"
"Berlin Fritz" is another post-modern cyberart installation brought to you by the same people who did "Mick Parry", "Marco nee Stallion" and indeed me. latest research indicates that there are in fact only "just over 12,000" people using the Internet but most of them are pretending to be somebody else.
"Is this you ?"
No. But I did teach him everything he knows.

So Mick is the entrenched legacy system and Fritz is the disruptive technology?
Posted on: 05 April 2004 by matthewr
"Is this thread just a cynical attempt to reach 4000 posts as quickly as possible?"
Worrying about post counts is the sort of behaviour that gives people who contribute to online forums a bad name.
(Although post count boosters are easily spotted by doing one post for each replay rather than answering several questions in one post. I can think of a very obvious example but shall not name names.)
"Which is better, NAC72 or NAC102"
102
"Which is better sounding, CD or Vinyl"
Some CD players sound better than some record players and vica versa.
"Which is better sounding, Olive or Black kit"
The difference is not worth worrying about if you already have one or the other.
"So Mick is the entrenched legacy system and Fritz is the disruptive technology?"
Fritz is a post moden construct who's output is in itself post modern. This is a level of recursive, self-referential irony that one could build an entire PhD on.

"Am I gay?"
Generally speaking, if you go the gym, wear smart fashionable clothes, enjoy clubbing and take a serious interest in interior decorating and cooking then you may or may not be gay. If however you have sex with men then you are gay -- the correllation is about 100%.
For reasons of privacy I won't give any specific details of the, erm, complicated nature of your own sexuality.

Matthew, there is a major flaw in this answewr. You have assumed that "Steve B" is a man.
If Steve B is a lady then having sex with men would make her heterosexual...

Why do women buy "supermarket checkout" magazines that just gossip about tabloid celebs? And why don't men?

"Why do women buy "supermarket checkout" magazines that just gossip about tabloid celebs? And why don't men?"
That's just another lazy gender stereotype. Plenty of men buy (or at least read the office copy of) Heat including myself.
