But its true! Y has it suddenly increased to 3 minutes? Anyone know? My point remains,what is this obsession with public displays of silence? If you want to pause in your life to think about thngs like that,fine,go nuts.But y do some people expect to impose it on everyone else,in public? Surely its a matter of personal choice,whether or not 1 stops their activities in public,to think about something? It seems there is a growing need with some people to engage in recreational grief.I can understand people who have some kind of personal involvement in this disaster doing it,but the majority of people I see going on about this,upon questioning,admit this disaster had nothing to do with them!
It seems to be a big insecurity in some people,that is only dealt with by engaging in public recreational grief (even if they had nothing to do with it),in some morbid bid to publicly out do each other to show their sympathy! Individual sympathy for disaster victims is fine,but I have to wonder about people who feel a need to publicly out do each other in a bid to make a show of it.

In world war one the men went out to fight and defend their countries from an invader. They went out and millions from all sides never returned: many were never found. The vacationing victims of the earthquake went out there expecting a good time, and many of those lost might never be found – but at least they were not forced to be there, unlike those soldiers (or the thousands of local victims). Chances are that you haven’t a clue about what happened in Europe between 1914 and 1918 – so please don’t display your ignorence here – Nermal

Sorry – was not trying to rub it in or anything – Nermal

Ok, which ones the hound-dawg? – Nermal

I think it’s a bit naff to have Peter Cook at No1, when Dudley Moore does not even feature in the list, as to me, it was the two of them TOGETHER that made them funny, but that’s just my humble opinion.

But then there is Eric Morcambe yet no Ernie Wise. Peter Cook had much much more of a solo act than Eric Morcambe. Maybe the list was about influences, like who you would think of first – and both Cook and Morcambe were the biggest creative element of their partnerships. – Nermal

Not sure I recall any of those other lyrics…:eek: – Nermal

Vixen is Becka?:confused: – Nermal

lol! hamburger man, get some put on here then, we are all over 18! 🙂

Although if you look you will find that this is not quite the case, and the Webmaster (or a moderator:rolleyes: ) would be down on here like a ton of bricks anyway… – Nermal

Hope you replaced it – Nermal
