''Did someone mention Irony, I know a song about that...''


http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/table_of_malcontents/images/ironic708949.jpg


An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic... don't you think


It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures


Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice..."

And isn't it ironic... don't you think


It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures


Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up

In your face


A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...don't you think

A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...


It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures


Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

Helping you out

1>You gotta admit though, they're funny.


2>This puts a smile one everyone's face.


3 [third strike goes here]


3>I'll leave the gurning pics up though cos they are funny


>Wanna see a picture of a really ugly bird?


A beguilingly personable bird; in fact, the only photo of any interest in the thread.


Never mind. For light relief, Thora Hird appears, with Jack Warner and Gordon Jackson, in The Quatermass Xperiment (film, not original TV series) on BBC Four tomorrow. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049646/

    • The issue for me is about reducing damage to animals, whether wild or domestic, as well as to those humans that also suffer as a result. The sad thing is that there is a compromise available in the form of low noise fireworks- it is the apparent addiction to imposing loud bangs and other scary sounds that I find so strange. 
    • I'd love it if  ED was a little bit more Denmark Hill!
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7rg7wjvgvo I also consider what she said was racist, but worse, unnecessary designed to stir up conflict.  The advertisers are free to use whoever they want to sell their product.  I'm quite happy for them to depict multiracial Britain, or gay/trans friendly (as per London Underground), disability aware etc etc. From time to time I'll see a more traditional product where everyone in the ad is white.  So??
    • Don't think so, Elizabeth line stops there. Think you mean Drayton Green on the old Ealing Broadway  to Greenford push/pull line. Anyway, it was least used station in London a couple of years ago, now it's Sudbury and Harrow.
