I seem to find myself more and more puzzled by things in this world these days. Today, it's wtf is an ice cream van doing the rounds in the middle of winter for? I hear him just about every day around here, right up till late evening. Confused

Funnily enough the icy only recently started showing up in our street Confused

In answer to the topic, dart fans, how can you get so excited about darts? do they put on free bars?

Conversely, I quite fancy a one of them ice creams at least once a week, even in winter. And since September, the poxy van is nowhere to be seen Mad

So you're asking why would someone want a reasonable excuse to regularly drive a vehicle round housing estates making frequent stops to make cash sales to members of the public without attracting the attention of law enforcement agencies?

Because having a bath or shower relaxes you?

I genuinely can't get my head around religion, particularly in young people who've had a proper education.

The popularity and tribalism of football. I don't play with these people, I don't know anyone who does, I've never met these people, they just kick balls around fields. Why should anyone care?

University types puzzle me...... I do a fair bit of work in Cambridge.

They can work out a factual equation to the power of 10, or identify an element purely by it`s atomic weight....... but if you ask them to cross the road or tie their own shoe laces on their own and they`re completely bamboozeled ! Confused

What is going on in their heads?

More worrying is probably less than 10% can even do that. Considering most of them are on arts, social science, 'business management' and essay-writing degrees...

reminds me of the ice cream man who lived opposite me when I was a teenager.
he got nicked for selling speed once, he then started selling ice creams.
he died about 10 months later of a massive heart attack, combination of dodgy ticker and trying too much of his "special" stock. Wink

I've got a landing light that can be switched on/off from upstairs or downstairs. There's something magical about the way that works. I'm sure I could understand it if I looked into it but some things are best left a mystery.
