Pointless queries at random

[Doodles :)]

Why is the Challenge forum so so... well you know what I mean .

[goodknight]

They got better, then they went bad again. And the colour scheme is in 'experimental' mode.

[Doodles :)]

I meant some of the members but you're also right about the colour scheme as well. Anyway why do I sometimes keep getting too many connections when I come onto this form. Also why are some of the members and posts here getting as bad as the ones on the Challenge forum? Any way I am having problems posting this as I keep getting that too amny connections box. I can't believe that there are that many people viewing or trying to view here.

[goodknight]

Maybe you need to take a breath and count to 10....

I don't think the forum here is bad at all. If it was, I'd leave. Alright, I still see the Challenge forum (yes, everyone knows about the colour scheme. Please don't start a 45th topic about it), but only when a topic interests me (Francis' Requests? Ha ha ha!!).

I think the 'too many connections' thing applies to the fact its too many connections to all of Proboards, and not just this forum.

Um moving on. I want to know why (I'm not sure if this has been asked here but it's been asked by me and lots of other people many times) some people can eat and eat and not put on any weight at all where others including me just have to look at something and put on weight? Also why when you need the loo is that you seem to be more desperate when you don't hardly need to go whereas you don't seem to be as desperate when you're actulally really desperate until you're almost bursting?

Buses
Why do buses often seem to come in pairs and sometimes the late one is often behind the one that it should be infront of. Another thing is why do I always seem to miss one which is on time and then the next one is always late? Why when you get to a stop early the bus you're waiting for is nearly always late, but when you get to the stop slightly late you miss it because it's on time. Why when you're running slightly late or/and in a hurry the driver seems to take their time, but if you're not in a hurry the driver tends to put their foot down.

Mmmm....

No.1: I belong to the first group. Lucky me, sort of. It ain't always glamourous being about 2 stone underweight...

No. 2: Having excellent bladder control (i.e. I rarely need the toilet during working hours), this does not apply to me. However, after a night out drinking... I can't get out of there.

No. 3 (The last bit): Because bus drivers are sometimes just a nasty bunch and it gives them a bit of cruel pleasure to see someone not make it to the bus stop. I would like to point out that some are actually really cheery, chatty, lovable souls. If only all could be like that.

Still, could be worse. Try getting a Virgin train from Preston to Warrington on a Thursday night and see how 50% of the time you miss the connection and have to wait for an hour.

I believe a lot of Moana's questions about buses could be attributed to Sod's law.

[Drassil]

Sod's Law is also known as Murphy's Law. It used to apply to the fact that toast often lands butter side down when dropped. Then someone decided to do some research, and came up with complex diagrams to show how the toast's fall is governed by the average height of a table, the design of the tabletop, the weight distribution of the slice, etc.

[Romana]

This question can be applied to many coming-home-from-work trains. Why the hell do they only put two carriages on instead of 4+? They should know by now that trains after 5pm contain more than 1 person! But no, they continue to pack people into 2 carriages - even when seats are used up and people have to stand in the luggage area! Jeez...!

and back to buses , why are there always single deckers during the busiest times of day and why can't those people who make the timetable decisions figure them out properly either i.e. they know that public transport gets busy at certain times of the day and is literally empty at other times, but why can't they have less frequent services during the non busy times and have more frequent services during the busyiest times. No they would rather cut services mainly during the busyiest times, saying they need to save money and it costs too much running those services, but yet they wont cut the 'empty' services instead, where is their logic?

Another one is those council 'bright sparks' who decide on what happens with roads and transport. "Oh we have so many extra sets of traffic lights, speed camera signs, so lets put them here, here, and there. Oh that road looks a bit bare, it needs some". "Oh we have so much extra paint, so lets paint more bus lanes". "Oh it's fun watching the traffic going round in circles to get from one place to another, and it's much to simple for it to go straight to get from one place to the other so we need to make such and such roads into one way streets and close such and such roads and make them access for buses and taxis only". I can think of many more but I think that you get the idea, but why do they have to make the most stupid and pointless desisions other than to cause more chaos to what is already quite chaotic?

Why do some drivers not have any sense or so it seems? Why when there is a long traffic jam and the traffic is starting to move is there someone, one or two vehicles infront of you that lets a dozen or so cars in from side roads? I mean I can see them letting in one or two but do they really have to let everyone in?

I just sat a test today at collage and this thought crossed my mind.

"Why is it that befor a test some people (like myself0 are completly calm and relaxed, no anxiety or stress etc. BUT imediatly after comeing out of the exam you feel nervous and slightly shacky and weak?"

[Malefact]

Because the test is over and you're running over all the possibilites in your head as to how badly you think you may have done. I speak from experience. :S
