^ I didn't see the premiere episode with the intros. But even if I did, I'd have forgotten everything (short term memory here). Without a scripted & filmed intro in the beginning of each episode, it's just a bunch of people in a big rush making plenty of noises. Sometimes I find it annoying, I didn't even want to hear their babbling. I do like the travel element, it shows exotic places and put them in an interesting context.

I'm much better in following talent shows, I remember their acts and they have more personality to me that way. There're also recaps and specially filmed intros with each episode, so they're more branded.

My, that's an attractive description....

I was just watching U2 - Sweetest Thing: Video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfv3...aynext_from=PL

I never noticed the stripping firemen in the background before.

And didn't Bono kinda look like Elvis Costello?

And didn't Bono kinda look like Elvis Costello?

Yes, I think he did. I love The Joshua Tree. (Turns out, I also love stripping firemen!)

[papayahed]

I was not into U2 until Achtung Baby (I was too busy ratting my hair and going to Ozzy Osbourne concerts) but now I love me some Joshua Tree.

And Stripping Fireman.

[motherhubbard]

This morning it would be hard for me to say which was better, the firemen or U2, but I could just watch and listen and not have to choose!

[Niamh]

the joshua tree is amazing! me likey!

The old adage of taking a shower with a raincoat on is pretty close.

I don't think Isidro is allowing her imagination to wander enough on this point. my birthdays in two weeks, and I would love it if you changed your avatar to a picture of you standing in your shower in a yellow raincoat and hat! It would make my day, and possibly turn this ice cold
heart to fire

[The Atheist]

I don't own a raincoat, and the results without a raincoat would shatter your monitor.

[isidro]

I was going to say that no offense, I am sure you are terribly sexy but I don't think I want to imagine Atheist in the shower. I have Jocky hitting on me enough!

Oh, I think I'm up for it! Though I might have to get a pacemaker afterwards You and Isidro just don't understand a woman's needs
We may want Brad Pitt or Hugh Jackman on the cover of GQ; but we want a real man in the shower
By the way, I am still perplexed by one question: is the hand foot, appendage ratio rule accurate with men? I've told my male friends that I believe, with women, the body tends to alter to the partners size. What do you think?

I have Jocky hitting on me enough!

Of course everyone wants you, darling, You are Galatea waiting to be brought to life . The respectable and chaste Hester Prynne waiting to be swept away by the romance of sin. Scarlett O'hara waiting to be rescued after the slaves ran away and Tara is laid waste...You're irresistible, A lifetime story that has no ending

That jocky's a bad man!

He's also drinks.

What a delicate way of phrasing it.

I'm not allowed to tell you, or all the blokes with small shoes would kill me.

Now, I know that secrecy about body part is denied to women by virtue of a woman's virtues being... in one's face..... so to speak!

You'll just have to approach it on a case by case basis.

Altering in size isn't really the case so much as familiarity enabling to feel that way. I suppose muscular development might come into it. [!] This could be a subject for some serious research!

I'll have to check my calendar.

Just a wee segue off the track, musing on this subject:

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to search for actual facts on the internet for this kind of subject? If you tried, I'd guess that the first billion or so responses will be porn rather than science.

Guess I'll just have to use the real thing.

See, the minute I turn my back on my P.C. a sharp implement is plunged between my shoulder blades. Just remember this Atheist ' he who wields the knife never wears the crown '

How could you isidro ? The things that have passed between us should never be spoken in public. ' frailty woman be thy name ' Bye the way I will give you all the goods on Atheist on our next secret correspondence.

You and Isidro just don't understand a woman's needs

Ahh, but Jocky does, a pat in the head and a hot cup of tea usually does the trick.
