They haven't all been from the same site, just the last few posts. As to why... :shrug: I found them amusing, & thought others might as well.

Well, if a helpful mod would like to split them off into a seperate "Funny animal pics" thread, then those of us who appreciate them can continue without boring/annoying the rest of you.

Here's 1 without an animal [though still vaguely animal related :p:]

Well I for one enjoy your offerings. Humour is a strange thing, I roar laughing at things that totally bypass my husband and he finds things hilarious that I just don't get at all.

The joy of this thread is that it can cover all tastes. If someone doesn't enjoy all the animal pics then they can always balance the content by adding more of what they want to see.

That's not lolcat, the grammar is too good.

That's what I find funniest about lolcat. Its not the picture its the quote.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Not so much one picture, but a series of pictures.....

Anybody else think Mr Beckham may have dropped one of his legendary 'Golden Balls' here? :D

I was going more for the gag than LOLthenticity. :) I could mess up the spelling, but I'm not sure how I could mangle the grammar effectively.

Not got a clue what that's referring to as I have no interest in him or football at all. At first glance I thought he had really hairy arms, then I realised he's just preparing a backup career as a circus sideshow act.

If it's the 1 on the right in the first pic then I can understand, she does look rather doable. You'd think a bloke his age would have learnt the art of discreet ogling without getting caught. :rolleyes:

Although he does seem to be wearing different clothes in the first two pictures compared to the last three...

Look again, he's just put a jacket on between pics 2 & 3.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

The pictures were taken on different evenings. So the great british public who have nothing better to do than discuss these people can relax.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

A good selection here in the Sunday Times 'Signs of the Times' gallery.

Now, is it just me or would taking this particular section of the route involve me jumping my car off of the bridge? :)

That car puts me in mind of the Suri tribe in Ethiopia, where the women wear those lip plates, is this the automobile equivalent?

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Beetle sex....

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Wow why would you put that on your car??

Why not indeed, I'm sure with a few spices and cooked correctly this little guy would be delicious...I'm only joking, before you shoot me down in flames.:)

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

I want to be that cat :)

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

I would have posted that 1 ages ago, but thought it might be considered a bit too risquÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â© for CF. I seem to remember seeing a whole collection of similar pics somewhere. I think the link is on cuteoverload or 1 of those sites like that.

Nope,i checked with the wife and it was`nt her that called them;)

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

I see that Iceland were there too. Maybe they were keeping the brand new 50MB modems nice and cool.

Go to the link to see why it's funny...

:erm: Dude, 15 posts up. ^^^

[Plus a thread about in Lifestyle. ;)]

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Sorry. It's hard to do a search for a photo and I did a search on the URL but the search engine told me that "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search"

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Fair enough. I would have thought you'd be subscribed to this thread & already seen it though, as you've posted in it before.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

Sorry to be a nag but it takes ages for this thread to load and I tend to avoid this thread for that reason...I'm only on 2MB.

It might be nice if there were less piccys in each post...:tu:

2Mb? I didn't realise VM still did 2Mb, I thought they'd upgraded everyone on 2Mb to 4Mb, just like they've upgraded 4Mb to 10Mb? Might be worth having a moan to CS about it.

Anyway, less pics-per-post - yeah, ok. Having said that, what have you got your option for number of posts per page set to? I know it can go upto 100, but it can also be set as low as 10 [I have mine set to 20, I can't remember what the default is].

Are you absolutely sure about that? My mum & stepdad used to be on the 2Mb, & although they've now switched to the 10Mb, I'm pretty sure they got upgraded from 2 to 4 [for free, as part of the speed upgrade scheme] before that. Have any of the various VM-employees that are members here looked into it for you? I suppose it's possible your kneck of the woods could have managed to end up last on the list for upgrades, but if they've made the hardware changes necessary for the higher speeds like 50Mb as you mention, then it should be just a case of someone making the necessary adjustment to your account.

You could always switch to 10 before reading this thread then go back to 40. :p: :D If you're using Firefox I may be able to come up with a way to make that possible without having to go back into the Control Panel each time [e.g. a button or something]. [That is if I ever find out the syntax for using back-references in the Greasemonkey/Platypus extensions! :rolleyes:].

Speaking of posts per page, I actually used to have it set to 40, & switched to 20 because I got a bit impatient with how long it seemed to take for the page to finish loading. Whether that's just me having bad luck trying the CF server at busy times, or because the number of tabs I usually have open tends to be a 3 figure number :disturbd:, I don't know.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

No the only upgrade has been the 4MB to 10MB..If I want to upgrade I''ll have to pay and go to the 10MB...I have been looking into it...;)

Anyway less is more..the fewer pictures the more I can appreciate each one...speaking as an artist anyway.;)

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

You should see this thread load at work over Remote Desktop over VPN, with my 3Mb upload. Slow!

Great to see piccies though :D

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs

3MBit Upload is plenty for anyone, quit moaning :p:

I know on that 2MB connection, if you went to 10MB you would have 5 times your present speed for less than Ã‚Â£2 per week and you could always try for a deal.;)

I always say the above when I get a 2MB call over slow speeds.:D

Well, I haven't done that many with the maximum 20 pics in a post, just occasionally when I either have a bit of a backlog, or come across a new & plentiful source, but I shall attempt to restrain myself in future. ;)

I like the spider email, but I can't help thinking that to understand the last response you really need to know what the original "service" was or the company.
