Why anyone would want to smell of toilet water... If I'm honest i still don't get it LOL
The logo for A Style probably isn't representing someone getting their back doors banged in....
Stunned by the wombles. I really thought there were just loads of them, thus making them common
I used to think in that mcdonalds advert, the song was addressing the ingredients, rather than giving quantities, ie
"to all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce..... etc"
rather than
"two all-beef patties..."
Nah, I'm with Rusty on this one. If it get's heard, it's a sound, otherwise it's just a vibration.
Erm, that's what the dictionary definition says...
twit is the male owl
twoo the female.
Nice try but I'm calling BS on that!
I didn't get the "it's always in the last place you look" phrase for years

[url= http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birds/tawnyowl.htm ]A Tawny Owl never calls "twit twoo". In fact the "twit" or more accurately "ke-wick" is a Tawny Owl's contact call and the "twoo" or again more accurately "hoo-hoo-oooo" is the male's territorial call. Consequently, if you hear "ke-wick hoo-hoo-oooo" it is most likely a male answering a female (or another male). Both can be heard in the recording[/url]
or
[url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Tawny_Owl ]Tawny owls are the most common and widespread of British owls. They emit the characteristic courtship ‘twit-twooo’ which is actually a duet between male and female. [/url]

Or smell like the Hindenberg
Eau de humanity!

It's actually the other way round
"Twit" or "keewick" is the female (think of it as the female calling the male a twit"
"toowoo" or "hoot" is the male response

toilet (n.)
1530s, "cover or bag for clothes," from Middle French toilette "a cloth, bag for clothes," diminutive of toile "cloth, net" (see toil (n.2)). Sense evolution is to "act or process of dressing" (1680s); then "a dressing room" (1819), especially one with a lavatory attached; then "lavatory or porcelain plumbing fixture" (1895), an American euphemistic use. Toilet paper is attested from 1884 (the Middle English equivalent was arse-wisp). Toilet training is recorded from 1940.
So it's the Yanks muddying the (toilet) water. 🙄
I shall be using "arse-wisp" henceforth.
Cunning, but somewhat harder for someone else to read at a distance than just using fingers, e.g. ordering 143 beers in a noisy bar
Well obviously here you would just revert to the 1-12 system (like the 1-10 system but utilising either one or two closed fists as the extra digits)
Also if you can count to twelve on one hand then isn't it actually Base 13 or are you using the first finger bone as zero?
Pedant!
Although this just highlights the need for an ISO standard for fingercounting once we move to the base 12 system where the first digit is zero.

What good is an ISO for finger counting if you're [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Normal%20for%20Norfolk ]NfN[/url]?
I was quite far down the road before I realised the Doh a Deer song was actually muscial scales. My daughters were watching it on Video (remember them) one day and suddenly it clicked. Quite clever really.
Musicals were/are not my thing really.
I always thought the 'conservative' party was just a name that they called the political party. It wasn't until years later that I realised that this is their approach also, less inclined to change.
i did indeed get my twits mixed up. embarrassed as i'm a bit of a bird geek, with owls being my favourite.It's actually the other way round"Twit" or "keewick" is the female (think of it as the female calling the male a twit"
"toowoo" or "hoot" is the male response

I bet the surroundedbyhills were alive with the sound of music after that.

Really? I just thought it was an attempt for a cheap jab but you got busted! 😉
Holding shift and right click in windows explorer shows the "open command window here" option.
If you go into regedit, drill down to hkey_classes_root\drectory\shell\cmd and delete the Extended key, it makes it always appear so you don't need to hold Shift any more.
dirtycrewdon - see what happens when a girl tries to be clever, it backfires 😳
Your joke still works though Bunnyhop. I imagine the exchange like this:
Female (angrily): [i]"Twit!"[/i]
Male (confused): [i]"Whoo?"[/i]
😀

It always amuses me when British people complain about Americans using 'bathroom' for the place you go to wee, and say 'IT'S A TOILET YOU SILLY PEOPLE'. The word 'toilet' is just as much of a euphamism, but probably a more extreme one because frequently the bathroom does actually contain a bath, but very rarely do we keep our clothes in there.
Don't the yanks say "restroom", which only really applies if you sit down to wee. 🙂
For many years I thought that the Toysrus dinosaur that the popular toy shop was named after looked awfully like a giraffe.

I only clocked a couple of weeks ago the '5' AND the '10' in the five ten logo

I just noticed that the iPlayer logo has an i in the play symbol.

Oh yeah... Obvious now, but never thought to look beyond the 5. Some graphic designer must be weeping into his skinny moccachino at our display of ignorance.
Pah, it says "5" and "1.0".
Nice try.

Pretty sure it is a giraffe. There's a giraffe on [url= http://www.toysrus.co.uk/ ]their website[/url] anyway.

Have you noticed that the volume goes to 11?
^ Personal fave. And the buttseks logo.
I should not move into logo design!
Loads of things have the volume going up to 11. Some things go up to TWELVE too!

Twelve? That's one louder than eleven. Wow!

I'm also amused, but mainly because "toilet" belongs with "pardon".

Bugger, this isn't going well. 😳
*puts down the computer*
Anyone remember QXL?
I did a days work for them in 1999 (I think).
When they explained that they were running auctions on the Internet I remember thinking "What a daft idea - that will never take off!"
in my mid twenties stuck in traffic behind a VW when I suddenly realised that their logo is a V and a W, not 2 crossed hockey sticks. Obvious now, butI'd never looked at it like that (realised whilst driving a golf!). Mind you, as a child I thought Boots and Ford had the same logo!
When the batman movie came out late 80's /early 90's?? The bat logo was everywhere, I kept wondering why the logo was a mouth and wonky teeth

It's definitely a giraffe, called Geoffrey as I recall. It was pointed out to me at university.

I had to squint and could only see a pair of mittens about to fondle some boobs.

Except the answer is no. Assuming 'no one is around to hear' means no living beings, so no fluffy bunnies or owt, either.The falling tree creates vibrations in the air, which causes our inner-ear gubbins to vibrate, which in turn, the human / animal brain interprets as 'sound'.
No one around, no ear, no brain = no sound.
What if it was recorded and then played back to someone?
