Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

Sounds French.

Sounds too much like Fubar (f***ed up beyond all recognition).

Sounds more like a wrestler's name.

Because the others sound silly. And actually every Robert I've known prefers Rob, it's more masculine than Bert. Especially if you've seen Bert and Ernie.

Yeah but they all have weird names.

Sounds too much like Gillian, a girl's name.

Sounds like Dwaine Dibley (see Red Dwarf).

Maybe the name makes them gay?

Indeed.

Er no. Why would any gay person make fun of gays?

Fark, gotta a link to the analysis ?

No you haven't, not unless you've been wearing a dry-suit or similar.

One again you spout BS, like your IQ and degree.

I had the reverse, wasnt keen on heights when a young adult.

Got used to it when building my single story house with a flat roof only a few years later, to still a bit wary when getting back onto the ladder when getting off the roof but thats mainly because the ladder doesnt reach that far past the barge board.

Never got that.

No one I know has ever said that. Weird.

The degree isnt bullshit, I have seen the pic of the certificate.

Are you sure it was his? You have heard of PhotoShop?

On seeing it, did you verify its validity with the university?

"Fatty Finn; he's really rather thin." His real name was Hubert, which is why he preferred his nickname.

But trivial to check with the institution whether it is real or now.

Nope, because he does understand stuff in that field he studied.

It's odd, some folk (like me) don't change accent. I've always spoken the way I did when I was taught as a child, so the average of my parents (cockney and yorkshire). But my sister changes to speak identically to whoever she's with in a few minutes.

This is sounding like George Orwell. Took us longer than he predicted, but we're getting there.
