What would you uninvent?

    If you met a good looking 2 foot tall semi naked nymph on the way home from your Wednesday night Champions League pints tonight and she offered you the chance to uninvent something, what would you choose?

    Pighead would immediately choose Computer Games. No doubt about it. The thoughts of the fruit of my loins turning into a computer gamer nerdlinger sends shivers down my spine. Luckily Pighead was far too cool and hip to ever succumb to the "lure" of Dungeons and Dragons or lan parties.

    Hopefully any kid of mine would also be cool enough not to hang around with geeks or dorks but just to be on the safe side an uninvention of PC Games would put my worst held fears to bed once and for all.

    And with my future sons coolness assured it would also put an end to a recurring dream Pigheads been having. It goes something like this

    Pighead: Hey there Zolar, how are you buddy. Looking sharp buddy, where are you off to?

    Zolar: I'm heading into town dearest papa.

    Pighead: Good lad, now be careful and stay clear of them fat chicks and ugly birds now won't you.

    Zolar: Don't worry dad, there's not goping to be any girls where i'm going.

    Pighead(getting worried now): Eh whys that son, where are you going?
    Zolar: Boards Beers

    At this point Pighead has a massive heart attack and dies with a single tear streaming down his perfectly chiselled handsome face.

    So what would you uninvent?

    The Euro....Irish currency was deadly.... The pound coin was a legend, and the A4 sized 50 pound note was similarly awesome.

    As I write, the thread below this is about x-factor, so I didnt really have to look very far to see what I wanted banished from the earth.
    By the way all the other reality shows are included in that too, BB comedancing or whatever etc etc etc.

    Exactly Limerick Boy, exactly. Lets cut to the chase here buddy, you don't really want porn uninvented. You've got a couple of nasty septic blisters on your todger at the moment after some rather excessive self love sessions over the past week.

    Naturally you've blamed porn for your weeping willy. This time next week the blisters will have healed and you'll be back here apologising for your ridiculous request. Mark Pigheads words.

    Hmmm, Skobies and Boy Racers are a festering disease on this countries landscape, I'd much prefer to give them the bubonic plague instead of merely uninventing them, that's just too painless. Seeing as aforementioned Skobies and Boy Racers are usually the one anyway I'd have to say I'd uninvent the wheel. As an added bonus the M-50 would become unclogged and fat chicks might lose weight from the walking they'd have to do.

    No, wait. Let's get to the source. I hereby uninvent Ingerlund.

    No more: Deefers; chavs; X-Factor or Big Brother, Eastenders or Corrie; morons blethering on about "up the 'RA" and "800 years" while wearing ManU tops and watching Eastenders before the ManU match; Deefers; 800 years; Unionists; Shinners; Deefers; national inferiority complex and post-colonial malaise; no more FF being able to dodge responsibility for being incompetent feckin chancers by playing the "Sure FG are WestBrits, would ye rather have them in charge?" card...oh, and Deefers.

    Ah. Bliss.

    It's old. Really old. It's so old, that I put a rule in place in regards to people trying to be the first one to say it in a thread. That rule is still there.

    You could say that I uninvented it.

    I wish we could uninvent bull**** statistics so that people like jay haytch wouldn't be able to post up made-up bull**** from other websites.

    I'm just going to quote 3 lines which show all of that stuff to be complete bull:
    Worldwide visitors to pornographic web sites 72 million annually

    1 out of 3 visitors to adult website's are women.
    9.4 million women access adult website's each month.
    So. Every year, 112 million women access adult websites. But that's only one-third of the total vistors. So every year, porn websites get 336 million visitors. Except that it was previously claimed that the total vistors is 72 million.

    Whoops...

    The actual fact is that adult porn is a lucrative industry which is far more important to its users and employees than the petty writings of some church.
    So get over it.

    Ah I was only joking. In fact I stuck a thread on feedback about how "Yore Ma" was getting out of hand on AH but I got flamed out of it (perhaps a slight exaggeration...).

    Anyway, at the risk of being an off-topicer I'd uninvent Gerry Ryan, and to a lesser extent 2fm.

    You would uninvent 2fm?
    So you would prefer our radio to be dominated by showbands and have the only other outlet for music be pirate radio?

    Like it or not, without 2fm, it would have been many, many more years before we got to hear half decent music on the radio.

    Radio Caroline was constantly being shut down.


    Note: I don't listen to the radio. I'm very insular in my musical tastes, which are stuck in the early to mid 90's.
