I have just been to Tesco.
I asked the pretty girl behind the checkout who has been flirting with me for the last month or so out for a drink tonight.

What is the last thing you did totally on a whim?

what did she say?

( manolith hooray for me, Thu 28 May 2009, 14:55, archived)

The lady from Tesco, she say yes!

( Anthropos Was making beer on, Thu 28 May 2009, 14:56, archived)

Hurrah!
Was she wearing the old skool uniform or the new casual one?
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Thu 28 May 2009, 14:56, archived)

why would she be wearing her old school uniform?

( manolith hooray for me, Thu 28 May 2009, 14:58, archived)

She was wearing the blue checked shirt one.

( Anthropos Was making beer on, Thu 28 May 2009, 14:59, archived)

She's a keeper

Is it a DB9 or something? What if it drives like a piece of shit?

What is it? I hope it's not a Ford...

i keep getting the urge to do this
though in my case the car is the 90s volvo 960 estate, and they go for around £212.75. it'd be pocket money, but car ownership would drive me mental

Sample conversation might go something along the lines of 'so...how long have you been working at Tesco?'

Nothing.
I don't think I have ever done anything on a whim...... actually, yes I have. When I went to talk to Trev, that was 14 years ago.


Hmmmm, I must be a planner.

( Anthropos Was making beer on, Thu 28 May 2009, 15:05, archived)

That would be a hasty conclusion,
as that would imply that I too am a planner. And I most definitely am not.

Well you would know,
but it doesn't follow from what you just told us.

I only cross my bridges when I come to them, but never act on impulse. Arbitrary decisions are impossible for me. Most of the time I'm pretty much blown along by the breeze.

Premise: I've never done anything on a whim
Conclusion: I must be a planner.

Does not logically follow.

The counterexample of myself was presented.

but I was talking about myself
not you. I have no idea what you're like.
( jenpots, Thu 28 May 2009, 15:14, archived)

Yes but you said "I must be a planner", not "I am a planner".
I can accept your word for that, but it doesn't logically follow from "I do not act on a whim," as you implied by the use of "I must".

Crikey.
Nothing recently. I don't think. And any that I normally do involves just going to the pub or buying some new clothes/shoes/make up/underwear.

I'm quite dull really.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Thu 28 May 2009, 15:04, archived)

I think the last thing I did on a whim
was go and get my tongue pierced during my lunch hour one time because there was nothing else to do. That's like six years ago now.

I need to do more exciting things.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Thu 28 May 2009, 15:09, archived)

Did that not make talking in the office hard that afternoon?
Be more impulsive, you might end up doing something fun.

I'm rubbish at planning anything, pretty much everything I do is impulsive.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Thu 28 May 2009, 15:13, archived)

I'm pretty crappy at planning anything either.
I'm a bit of a fail all round really. Oh well.

As for the tongue, not really. I didn't really talk much then, also my tongue didn't swell up like Jamie Oliver's. We had a family party to go to a couple of days later and my mother had told me in no uncertain terms not to speak to anyone because they might see. Until she'd had a few drinks and I was like a circus freak act, 'Blue Star! C'mon, show them what you got done the other day'. My cousin was there, he saw it and looked at me very very wrongly indeed.
