[Closed] Pandas and people

They really like Pandas?

They're not above all that.

They really like Pandas?

or lorry drivers ?

I really like coffee but I wouldn't cheer a lorry containing two sacks of beans hidden from view.

iDave - please tell us the purpose of every second of your daily existence.

🙄

Absolute pandamonium. I'm surprised they could bear it.

I dont know but some folk post their random musing on the interwebz - is this more productive?
Obviously I know which I would rather do and no I dont understand it either

Absolute pandamonium. I'm surprised they could bear it.

You're barred.

Pick up you're coat on the way out.

OK, fine, I'm going out now to cheer and wave at all the cats in peoples houses

to stand on the pavement outside a zoo and cheer and wave flags as a lorry containing 2 pandas drives past?

Indeed. I would've banged on the lorry shouting abuse at them, like they do when a serial killer turns up at the Old Bailey. And I would expect them to have blankets over their heads, to hide their shameful guilt ridden faces.

Fat lazy bastards.

Stay DruidH
Dont panda to his every whim

His reaction has bamboozled me!

*calls security*

Can anyone give me an economic reason that we shouldnt just have a great big sponsored panda shoot?

I saw the trucks at Maybury junction, with their police outrider escort. Pandas apparently travel by FedEx - which is a relief, if it was CityLink all those folk waiting to see them would likely still be waiting while the pandas were stuck in some warehouse miles away awaiting despatch.

EDIT: Maybe I'm being harsh, I think CityLink have changed their procedures now - I think if no one was in at the zoo when they were delivered, they could have been left with a neighbour. I've no idea what FedEx would have done...

what would possess someone with a functioning mind, to stand on the pavement outside a zoo and cheer and wave flags as a lorry containing 2 pandas drives past? what do they believe is the purpose of such behavior?

I couldn't believe what i was seeing, some even dressed as Pandas 😯

Here's one that got away

Can you expand on this please, I find it inflammatory, which I understand to be against forum rules, and your post has yet to be deleted.

Because some people need a little "awwwww" in their life, is that such a bad thing?

anyway, he's a picture of a panda in some tupperware which should invalidate your point

I get the aww factor, I get that a panda is an interesting 'cute' animal etc.

It's the concept of cynic-al* and his chums standing in the cold waving flags and cheering at a lorry that I failed to grasp. Hence the question.

*other big-hitters are available

iFail:

My point is: you imply that you are better than those people because of how you spend your time and how they spend yours...if you want us to agree and tell you how ace you are, you need to tell us how you spend your time.

Oh dear.

I don't. They spend their day sitting on their enormous arses stuffing their fat greedy faces

I don't think its a black and white issue..

They were the people's pandas.

cynic-al, are you suggesting you're better than me because of the type of threads you start?

That's how I took it.

Still, what does he know - I think this thread is ace.

I like the direction in which this thread is headed.

EDIT: Oof. Beaten to it by Ernesto.

It's almost like Dave planned it, the Machiavellian son of a gun.

cynic-al, are you suggesting you're better than me because of the type of threads you start?

Hmmm, I think we should all paws to consider this point.

cynic-al: Ying
iDave: Yang

Question is, will there be a babette?

No, this is not personal at all (unlike your jibe), it has nothing to do with me. it's about your OP, but all you can do now is deflect my question, which really means you've lost the argument. I said the below, stop trying to deflect the issue from my question please:

you imply that you are better than those people because of how you spend your time and how they spend yours...if you want us to agree and tell you how ace you are, you need to tell us how you spend your time.

I used to think Pandas, while cute, were a bit shit as a viewing spectacle (surely the most important reason for an animal existing) after seeing them in London as a kid and then again in San Diego as an adult. However earlier this year i was reluctantly dragged along to see some while in China and they were like a different animal - very playful and active.

Would be sad seeing them now just sitting doing nothing but eating and sleeping.

pandas are pretty crap really, they struggle to survive and thrive in the world because they're fussy eaters and they aren't very active because they only eat grass... they're even too lazy to procreate.

If singletrack adopted a panda would we call it mleh mleh??

you imply that you are better than those people

No, you assume I'm implying that. I have no idea what being 'better' than someone else involves. People can only be better at skills or tasks. I may have implied that they were a bit loopy. Which I can confirm I may well also be, though in areas unrelated to flag waving and cheering lorries.

Travesty......
