I'm bored of Darth Foxtrot
Which led me to think what else really bores me and I have come up with my ultimate yawnmaker

People talking about their children
(closely followed by anything Vipros says)

shopping
and people who talk about shopping

How about shopping for children?
Mum's just been to Thailand!

Oh shit, can you imagine if Vipros had a child?
He'd be able to hire himself out as a general anaesthetic.

That is
possibly the most disturbing thing anyone has ever said

fortunately for you folk
I share your dislike of people talking about their children, and I never intend to have any of my own

I reckon the first croissant you bake yourself will be almost as bad.

Fair play
I am rabbiting a bit this morning

Also, good call. I have a friend who was a lot of fun until she reproduced. Now all she can talk about is the child. She is dull.

I only talk about my kid when asked
and only then to answer the question. I found out very early on how easy it is to spout long monologues about how great your kids are, so I stop myself.

Good
otherwise we'd have to shiv you.

I don't care if people insist on breeding but don't bore the sane people with tales of how your child ate a penny and you had to spend the next three days sieving poo to find it

funnily enough
I find you incredibly boring as well.

being faux-mean to people non-stop is as bad or no better than talking about kittens all the time
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 12:49, Reply)

Have you seen a kitten recently?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 12:58, Reply)

no

EDIT - how strange, the photo still seems to be there but won't let me link to it. Isn't the internet an amazing place. Anyway, just imagine a kitten in a sock.

that doesn't work

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 13:02, Reply)

It did
but now it's gone. Maybe a Mod removed it.

now it says don't have permission to view the page

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 13:04, Reply)

I don't get it.
Never mind. Imagine a kitten. Now go AWWWWWWWWW. Job done.

as bad no better?
as bed no butter?
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 12:58, Reply)

I have no idea what happened there
some kind of brain impediment
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 12:59, Reply)

Have you ever put butter in your bed?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 13:00, Reply)

no

Cars (especially people who harp on about alloy wheels :D)
The weather
Hopes and dreams for the future
Accountancy

Also soap operas
and any sentence ending in "innit"

I wasn't harping
I was strumming
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 18 Feb 2010, 12:59, Reply)

Give me a couple of hours
and I'll be harpist.
