The 'have a moan' thread

[Guest]

I am really tired and can't have a shower

Quite a sucky day today, despite being a Friday (most beautiful word in the english language).

Last night, me and one of my best mates arranged to catch the train to uni together. He has to catch the 6.50am train and he specifically told me to be at the station at 6.40am. So this morning, I got up at 5.40am and I got a lift with my mum at 6.20am who was on her way to work. Got to the station at 6.30 and waited for my friend. Announcement came on that the 6.38am to the city is a full express skipping all but the 8 major stations but I decided to wait for my mate to show up at the agreed time. So I waited, and waited, and he didn't show up. The 6.50 train came and went, and my mate didn't show up. I got pissed off, because I was waiting for half an hour in the cold now, and he didn't show up. I decided he wasn't going to show up, so I jumped on the 6.58am limited express service to the city. I was pissed off, because this guy is one of my absolute best mates I ever had and he basically upstaged me. He made it freaking clear to me to be at the station at 6.40 am, but 20 mins later, he still wasn't there. So much for being a "friend". So much for being a "friend" huh? Rather than freeze my balls waiting for a goddamn no-show, I could've jumped on the 6.38 express.

Uni was okay, but didn't feel well so I didn't start off a horrible assignment thats due tomorrow. On the train on the way back this ****** got on and seemed to be looking at me all the time. I was reading a UFO book (how nerdy ) and whenever I look up, this moron was looking at me. ofcourse, he was on the train for the entire hour until it finally reached my station, where he got off aswell, looking at me all the time. Then, I got the pleasure of waking home in the freaking Melbourne rain.

Atleast now I'm at home, Foxtel has a nice marathon of family Guy and AMerican dad (thank god, if I hear about the damn beijing games one more time I'll go mental) so watched that for 2 hours while getting druin k and now Im drunk and the days is behind me Double episode of Hells Kitchend 2nite

you're right, time travel doesn't work like that. Though if you really want to confuse yourself, work out how a 10m long ship can fit inside a 9m barn with both doors closed at the same time

never thought about the narnia time thing. that's a really good point though.

Do you know the episode I'm talking about? For the benefit of non-trekkers, the Enterprise crew accidentally travels back in time to 1960s Earth and are forced to beam up an air force pilot after their tractor beam destroys his plane. The problem is that they can't return him to Earth because he is duty bound to report his experience of a flying saucer, but they can't not return him because his unborn son is destined to lead a historically important space mission. Their solution is to recreate the circumstances of the original time warp and take the ship back to just before they picked him up, where, and this is what doesn't make sense, they beam the pilot back into his plane, even though there should be two pilots and two Enterprises. The writers of Dr Who would not make a mistake like this.

That barn thing, couldn't you just lean the ship against the wall, making it the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the ship, the floor and the wall? Or isn't the barn's ceiling high enough for that?

As for the Narnia thing, my personal theory is that after spending any time in Narnia you can't come back through the wardrobe until the amount of time that you spent in Narnia has passed in Earth time. That would explain why the wardrobe didn't work when Lucy tried to show the others after she came back the first time, and why Professor Kirke says it won't work again at the end. But that doesn't explain the 1300 year jump in Prince Caspian, so there goes that theory.

That sounds like the best idea I've heard all day. (Not that I've heard many ideas today, but still.) Shame I still have that stupid assignment to do

Maybe I could put it off for a beer or two... Dad foolishly brought home a new carton of the kind I like... And who knows? Maybe once I'm drunk it will be easier to understand the concept of other dimensions lurking behind wardrobe doors. Although if I'm watching Family guy, I'm going to have to try extra hard not to write "Give me back my sock, ya goat bastard!" (Peter's response to meeting Mr Tumnus through the clothes dryer) into my assignment...

I had to take one of my cats to the vet. He was all squinty and it turns out he has a cat scratch in his left eye so now he needs drops

[Cerise]

About the Narnia thing, I recon no time on earth passes while your in Narnia... Oh I don't know

[rising-flame]

There must be an explanation to the Narnia time thign somewhere. has anyone tried googling it?

the barn thing involves standing a certain distance away and shutting one door, but becuase of the speed of light it gives the impression of both doors being shut becuase there is a delay in what you're seeing. Or soemthing (bad explanation i know but hey it's friday)

OK, like the Picard Maneuver. And yes, I permanently have Star Trek on the brain.
