I'm sure there's a reason behind most things, but some 'inventions' puzzle me. So I thought I'd start a thread on things that confuse/annoy/befuddle you, and make you ask 'what's the point?'

My current bug-bear: Decaffeinated Espresso!

WHY?

Kaliber low (non) alcohol lager.

AndyBass wrote:Kaliber low (non) alcohol lager.

Believe me Andy, there's a big difference.

Kaliber is (was?) NON alcoholic.
However, most others are LOW alcohol.

I once had 11 pints of Swan Light at a party and thinking it was NON alcoholic, I drove home..... :oops:

Needless to say, the car was weaving about all over the road and my judgment was....erm....embarrassing to say the least! And to add insult, I woke up the following morning with one of the worst hangovers I've ever had!
So much for non alcoholic lager....!

What's the point in owning a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser in the centre of this town? I can't get into my parking space squarely next to it.

I have new neighbours with a baby and a 2006 (56) 5 door LWB Landcruiser. A thoroughly obnoxious car. More like a van than a car in size.

Kaliber low (non) alcohol lager.

For people who don't want to drink & drive or perhaps for alcoholics like me who know they can't drink but still like the taste.

light beer , does that not mean low in calories

by **Alfie** » Thu 25 Jan, 2007 16:33

muppet wrote:light beer , does that not mean low in calories

With some brands, such as Bud Lite, yes, I think it does.

As I discovered later....Swan Light actually meant 'light' in alcohol.

And in most of the rest of the world, 'light beer' means what we call lager.

I think Swan Light was about 1.5%
Fosters is about 3.5% (yep, the old "Sex in a Punt" gag....

)
And as a bench mark, Stella is 5.2%

The dimmer for the dashboard lights.

I have never found a situation where I think "the dashboard is dazzling me I need to turn it down a bit 'cos I cant see out of the windscreen..."
There are usually car headlights coming the other way that I would rather dim, so if I can live with them, I can live with a faint glowing dashboard lamp.

Don't think this lot are doing a great job either and there are both alternative parties there.
