make of that what you will my friend........

I have said before, but it bears repeating -

Part of the wonderful pleasure of university life is that you get to live a life where all the essentials are taken care of for you.

This leaves your considerable entertainment huge amounts of time to range over thoughts that no sane person with a job and a mortgage and family would devote a nanosecond's thought to - because it is such a serious waste of time and effort.

The more time you have, the more ludicrous and pointless your thoughts can become, and the more valuable time you can devote to them.

If you extrapolate that to the maximum - you have some of the country's most intelligent people devoting the most time to the most crass, ludicrous and utterly pointless garbage it is possible for the human mind to fantasise about.

And this is the end result.

So the short answer to the question, is 'No'.

It depends on what you are going to call her.

[Jackdaw33]

Never mind Snow White, what about the 7 vertically-challenged persons?

[dannyk13]

In particular the one without a beard.

I suppose some of us on here could be equally guilty of that Andy. :0)

'We're sorry and we'll choose our words more carefully in the future'

How about 'We're open so get your sorry botties out of bed, get in here and learn'

[Jackdaw33]

His name has been changed from Dopey to cerebrally-challenged.

I thought when I typed the words snow white, this thread would have diverted down that lane.

AOG - // I suppose some of us on here could be equally guilty of that Andy. :0) //

An excellent point!

I stand guilty as charged - no defence is offered M'lud!!

LOL!!!

[dannyk13]

AOG. You did type Snow White as in the name with capital initials.

[anotheoldgit]

Well go on I will join in, has anyone not yet noticed that there isn't a single black dwarf amongst those seven?

In the name of diversity there should be surely.

[Togo]

No female vertically challenged persons either. Disgraceful.

[Togo]

Plus, why is it only old women who have to live in shoes?

I didn't it is automatically done when one types an headline.

[dannyk13]

You could have amended it.

They should not have so many kids.

most of the other remarks that people have made (no black vertically challenged person, the name of the VCP without a beard) can be laid at the feet of Disney.
