Mobile phones! What about when they're still?!

Why on EARTH has nobody noticed before that they're named something that's often utterly incorrect?!

I travelled on the Circle Line the other day and noticed it is, according to the map, in fact in the shape of a curved rectangle. In fact in real life it is not a regular shape at all. I am thinking of writing to Ken Livingstone to complain. AIBU?

AIBU to object to hobbits not wearing socks? I know they have hairy feet, but surely it's unhygienic when a hobbit comes and sits on my sofa?!

The other VVV is only talking weddings and dresses.

And Baker Street station has all those tiles with Sherlock Holmes all over to convince the Americans that he really was a real person!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/07/2007 00:22

Oh, I'm all for convincing Americans of things.

Like the website created to help them out that had "wanker" as something you called a helpful chap. PMSL!

winestein · 22/07/2007 00:22

Wasn't he?

UnquietDad · 22/07/2007 00:23

Two VVVs?
Blimey. Some horrific mumsnet trasporter accident has occurred like in that epiosde of "Star Trek" where Captain Kirk has an evil double.

Why are mushrooms BEIGE? That's not a proper colour - it certainly doesn't inspire one to incorporate it as one of your five a day.

It's like an evil-twin thing UnquietDad.

MarsLady · 22/07/2007 00:24

PMSL.... AIBU?

Actually someone namechanged to be irate about the fact that people ask for the recipe to my lemon drizzle cake when in fact it's not my original made it up myself, recipe! I had to pmsl over that one for ages. It still makes me chuckle.

You think you have unreasonable neighbours, UnquietDad? Pity the poor Mumsnetter whose neighbours painted their tree BLUE - now that was unreasonable!
