Lists are for dullards....

[????]

....just a thought :-S

[giggirl]

Lists are limiting

[????]

and made up (a bit) and self indulgent as people don't read anyone elses.....they're in my top 10 hates

[macroban]

Well, there is something ovine about them.

What's the most boring list?

[giggirl]

The most boring list must surely be the list of top 10 lists

[Marmora Man]

Lists are just memories strung together in some semblance of order. Let those of that wish, indulge our memories, those that don't can form an orderly queue - which is another kind of list if you think about it.

[indiepanda]

Lists can be pretty dull - but without lists, we wouldn't have High Fidelity, (the Nick Hornby book / film with John Cusack *swoons*) which would be a shame.

Absolutely. I would feel better about the forum lists if they didn't have "top 10" in the title. That's just too limited. Today's top 10 might not be tomorrow's top 10.

If there were no lists..... there'd be nothing but US political rants on Digg >:D

[PeckhamRose]

Lists remind me about the good and bad things I have seen. Good to ponder and provoke. As a result of seeing some of the films mentioned on the film list I have made a list of DVDs I want to rent.

And another result of seeing some of the theatre plays people have seen is that I realise just how little money I earn being self employed which has depressed me for the day....

Top Ten Reasons to ban lists?

[lozzyloz]

Hear hear PR. As a result of the film list there are a few I've not 'scene' that have popped up on other lists that I'm now going to check out.

I agree, rubbish. Well except for Schindler?s I suppose and Guido von List.

Franz Liszt though? Rubbish.

Couldn?t even spell.

[HonaloochieB]

1. No they're not.

2. They allow us to see what others tastes are, and how they vary from or are similar to our own.

3. This may lead to us 'copping off' with them.

4. Heck maybe even settling down and raising a coupla kids.

5. It allows free rein for those endowed with the quirkiness gene.

6. Sometimes contributors take a sideways look at the subject under discussion.

7. Often with added wryness.

8. Though of course if unchecked 5, 6 and 7 may lead to zaniness.

9. And nobody wants that, do they?

10. Perhaps four pounder may be right, we should be cautious about these things.

My Top Ten list goes all the way to eleven.

[Brendan]

But this one goes up to eleven.

[Jah Lush]

Then it's infringing on my copyright. I may have to sue.

JL, get your people to send Brendan a letter giving ten reasons as to why he should cease and desist.

[Jah Lush]

Even better I'll get my people (all eleven of them) to give him eleven reasons to cease and desist and what's more he'll have eleven days to comply.

That's my amp. I'm calling the cops.

[HonaloochieB]

Got him bang to rights JL, he's only left his dabs all over the merchandise. Mug.

The boys in forensic'll have this one tied up tighter than a prossie's corset.

[Jah Lush]

Gotcha! Brendan. You're nicked!

[HonaloochieB]

We're the sweeney son, and we haven't had our dinner!!

This is in my "Top 10 Funniest Threads"

It starts and ends at this though.

The thing that bugs me most about "top 10 blah blah blah" is,

who on earth can remember 10 of anything?

I struggle if I put more than 5 types of alcoholic drinks on my shopping list... (?)

The mouthwash and floor cleaner sections usually lead me astray...
