Music is basically a back and forth of ideas, and modern music owes a lot to people of all different races. That's why I personally am not in favour of the idea of music awards being labelled MOBO - it creates these artificial divisions and paints a completely misleading picture. Then again, it's a free world and they can do what they want.
Quite.
But I'd like to see how far someone would get if they thought up a MOWO award and began sorting through the entries for any traces of "colour". :roll:

Glen Miller ?! Nah, far too modern. Cave music - bones for drumsticks and skulls of varying sizes (wooly mammoth to shrews for percussion effect) for drums. That's the only stuff. When I were a lad...seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Toilet paper that doesn't tear perfectly along the perforations
Edit: In fact, anything that doesn't tear perfectly along perforations. Why bother perforating if it doesn't work as expected?0 -

Quite a few chunky parents and children could do with the exercise. I consider it my civic duty to use "their" space and make them walk a few yards further for that extra big box of doughnuts and bottle of pop.Back OT:

People that brandish a takeaway coffee cup (StarBucks/Costa) like it's something to be admired and aspire too.
You know what I mean. We've all seen them at train stations or hurrying along the street pretending that they have a critical meeting to get to. - Tools!Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0 -

Buying noodles with vegetable curry, taking it out to a park, then realising you've forgotten to pick up the chopsticks, meaning you're reduced to eating it with your fingers sitting on a bench opposite 4 winos whose Staffordshire bull terrier is off the lead and keeps sniffing around you.0

I'm with Bally on this one! why do they need to be closer? So they can get to the supermarket quicker and get in my way while i'm trying to do my shopping or crying/coughing/sneezing/running around/annoying me.
I don't go to children's areas and get wedged in the slide or stuck in the seat for the swing when they want to use it so don't bother me in grown up places!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
In fairness, it's the fact that the parent & child spaces are wider than the normal spaces (useful when having to remove small children / baby carriers etc from the back seat) rather than their proximity to the door that counts. Personally, when our kids were smaller, I wouldn't have cared less if the parent & child spaces were at the back of the car park rather than near the door. I guess then though the Supermarket would have to put in a safe path to the door & this would cost them a few parking spaces hence they stick them near the door with the 500 blue badge spaces. Stick them at the back of the car park and the middle aged childless couples in their BMW/Merc/Audi won't want to park in them anyway.
Me, I only go to the supermarket to position my directly trolley across the aisle whilst I look at an item on a shelf anyway. (At peak times too obvs)CS7

I would suspect that the main reason the child friendly spaces are closer to the supermarket would be obvious to anyone who has tried to get a trolley and a couple of youngsters through a busy supermarket carpark. The majority do not seem to have safe walkways...you just take your chances amongst the traffic.
The extra space is a blessing as trying to extricate very young children safely from a car does need fully opened doors. I can see why many park in the spaces though as a) they are close to the entrance and b) they are the size that car parking spaces should be. I only have a Focus and yet often find myself playing a vertical version of limbo just to get out of the car.0 -
We always go the wrong way round IKEA. I expect one day to be abducted and sent to Sweden for forcible re-socialisation.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19738915#p19738915]BelgianBeerGeek[/url] wrote:Are you one of those people who go the "wrong way" round the aisles? :evil:0 -
Oh yes.
I also make a point of having 12 items in a trolley when using the 8 items or less and basket only checkouts. My favourite though is when I'm queueing at the check out and the one next door opens, I'll sprint across and elbow other people out of the way (notably those ahead of me in the queue) so I can get there first. And pay with cash (which I'll have to sort through while you wait).
