Or it might have been a beer bottle. Paper cups don't throw too well do they.

I think they fly well if they contain liquid...

Sounds like a good experiment

Today I have been mostly listening to birdsong as I work have not even put the radio on yet

I think we should conduct extensive tests

Should we use water or blackcurrent juice - the latter helping us know where the contents end up?

I think we should try all sorts of liquid - the viscosity or fizziness could be crucial to the results.

Now that is true but I am not sure about including things wot is incoholic I mean would ie be a waste of a perfectly good drink?

While drinks like Budweiser certainly contain alcohol, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a 'perfectly good drink' Thus making it perfect for this experiment

OK - fair point!

So have you got any paper cups then?

What shall we throw them at?

I think we should throw them at Jimmy Pursey if we can find him

Just so that you all catch my earworm too...

(sort of an "Earworm Replacements R Us")

I'm not getting any sound though - something about a problem with Quicktime

I didn't bother to load the plug-ins, so I didn't get any sound either. The names of the tunes were plenty.

Remember the song that started this whole thread off? It wasn't 'I Want You Back', it was 'Love You Save', and it's back again cos someone at work put that bloody Jackson 5 CD on last night

Well, I've got Iggy's live version of 'Louie Louie' so am feeling almost hip today

John Kettley is a ing weatherman.

Thanks, Master B

Seconded.

DD says that he's got a handful of those entries still to come... I think one of them might be Ian Dury's Bus Driver's Parayer. Let's see you hum that one

I have a bone to pick with this thread ...

Now we all get ear worms but some of us are able to black them out and make them go away. I used to be able to do that and now I have started noticing their existance again so I found myself in the office / car on recent days hearing repetative tunes in my head some OK, some bad and some terrible! I even tried listening to CD's to replace them to no avail - even when listening to one CD I was finding myself humming something else

Bother!
