Dumb Threads Should Be Completely Ignored

If only I had a slightly witty comment, I could put it here and double my contributions to this discussion

At the very least you either have
A / an answer
Or
B / a not so dumb thread
Or
C / a cabbage sandwich

I must admit, being new and all....there are some pretty ridiculous threads on this site.

This isn't one of them :daisy:

This is becoming one of my favourite english sayings/proverbs:

Sometimes you can't have the cake and it eat too.

Well.....we obviously need to be allowed to post pics in these supposedly dumb threads. That would solve the problem. Do you have an orifice with an issue? We're here to help.

Why do you say this? Were you prevented from posting a pic? I'm confused.

possibly, but wouldn't ignoring dumb threads require ignoring the entire forum, if not the entire site?

I was just being sarcastic. Hypothetical answer to a question that was never asked in this thread but could be the topic of any random thread started by someone with one or two posts.

I ment eat it of course.

How could we qualify them as dumb having not seen the content.
I'm content to show up and pay attention.

no need to get mad and defensive.

I'm grateful for dumb threads. They often reveal more about human nature than the so-called serious threads. I don't know if giving a "Like" to a dumb thread counts as something? But I will fess up that I sometimes do this

Man, 28, charged with assaulting 92-year-old girlfriend
A 28-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with assaulting his 92-year-old girlfriend because she refused to take her medication.
Thomas Standley was arrested on Wednesday morning, accused of choking and shaking his much older lover.
The victim’s daughter, who lived next door to the couple’s Memphis home, told police she heard her mother screaming, “let go of me, you’re hurting me.”
The woman said when she checked on her mum, Standley got angry and pushed her away from the front door, according to WMC Action News.

The elderly woman told police her live-in lover was always abusive, but she was afraid to call police because he had power of attorney over her affairs.
She said Standley attacked her on Wednesday because she didn’t want to take her pills.
Standley faces court on Thursday charged with domestic assault.

Tourists get stranded after trying to drive to Welsh island (and blame satnav)

Locals help the couple whose car got stuck in the sand on the way to Caldey Island, half a mile off the seaside resort of Tenby, west Wales

They had travelled all the way from Illinois for a quiet break on the picturesque Welsh coast.

But when two American tourists tried to make their way to a remote monastery for a spot of sightseeing, they found themselves falling victim to the curse of the sat-nav.

The blundering holidaymakers put the co-ordinates of the monastery into their GPS system, hoping to drive to the remote community of Cistercian monks on Caldey Island

What they did not realise, was that their destination was half a mile off the Pembrokeshire coast and could only be reached by ferry.

The middle-aged couple, who have not been identified, refused to be put off by the expanse of sea ahead and blindly followed the GPS, driving straight onto one of Tenby’s popular beaches.

It remains unclear whether they would have attempted to drive into the water, as their hire car promptly got stuck in the sand.

The Americans were said to have been stunned to discover that they could not drive to the island.

They would have been even more embarrassed to learn that the 20-minute boat ride cannot even be made at this time of year.

The red-faced pair had to be towed off the beach by a group of passers-by, who took three hours to tug them to safety.

Their Vauxhall Zafira Tourer had to be dug out of the sand before being pulled free by a 4X4.

Pete Prosser, Tenby’s tourist chief, said: "The couple were surprised they couldn't drive to Caldey, and highly embarrassed when they got stuck.

"They won't be the first to have their vehicle rescued from the beach, but possibly the first to have set a Sat Nav for Caldey."

Caldey Island is home to a group of Trappist monks who make perfumes and chocolates for summer visitors to their monastery.

There are around a dozen monks currently living there and they spend most of their time living in silence.

The American tourists are by no means the first to find their travel plans had gone awry after following a GPS system.

A British couple and two teenagers were stranded in the Australian Outback for four days after their sat-nav told them to take a shortcut through the bush.

Paul and Lorraine Emptage were driving across Australia with their son Stephen, 15, and friend Andrew Smith, 18, in 2010 when they got stuck in mud during torrential rain.

In 2007, day-trippers from Gloucestershire on a Christmas shopping trip to Lille, France, found themselves in the wrong country, after a satnav error diverted their coach 100 miles off course to the town of Lille in Belgium.

The same year, a Czech lorry driver was led astray by his sat-nav and ended up stuck in a narrow country lane in Ivybridge, near Plymouth. He had to sleep in his cab for three nights before a tractor was able to tow him out.

In 2011, a lorry driver caused £115,000-worth of damage when he got stuck in a narrow lane near Colchester, Essex, after failing to heed warning signs telling him to ignore his sat-nav.

And in 2008, another trucker who was taking luxury cars to the island of Gibraltar ended up 1,600 miles away - after following his sat-nav to Gibraltar Point in Lincs.
