Live Aid on Beeb 2

[MrSwerve]

Ahhhh, a popcorn thread this early on a Sunday.

I don't know if it's the heat but people have been really pissy on here the last couple of days.

I said that earlier.

But you knew you were drinking water? Why is that ? Let me guess, umm the taste?

My eyes told me that my hand was lifting a bottle of water to my mouth.

I tried to get it on the radio element of the tele box but it wasn't on anywhere, so give up Men's Tennis Final is on soon as well which should be a cracker, only downside is having Clare Balding on there, why didn't someone with a Tennis background like Annabel Croft get the gig to present Wimbledon or a former Male tennis player even, Sue Barker is a big loss in my eyes.

Hmm sure I’ve seen it on freeview, although getting all the channels is pretty hit and miss. You should use an app like Radiioplayer, gets all the digital stations, I’m using that on phone and just Bluetoothing it to a speaker.

I’ll estimate I’ve drunk around six litres of water so far today, bottles and tap. Zero difference in taste between them. It’s just cold, wet liquid.

Is water wet or is it an effect of being covered in liquid?

Sue Barker was the best presenter of any sporting event on TV in my view. Her work anchoring the two weeks of Wimbledon every year was absolutely perfect.

Anyway, to weigh in on this watery debate in a Live Aid thread, I'll brush off my utterly boring statistics degree and get out my good ole bell curve. Does the majority of water taste the same in the UK/World? Yes. Are there outliers, at either end, that vary in minerals, filtration and so on? Of course there are. You can taste the difference between those. I've tasted water that tastes different to others. For the most part, if I'm drinking tap water in Swansea and tap water in Llanelli, it tastes the same.

Is it 'tasteless'? For the most part, if you're comparing it to the vast majority of shit that we drink these days, coffee, Coca Cola, lemonade, etc., etc. It doesn't mean that there is an absolute absence of taste.

Apparently it's impossible to eat a doughnut without licking your lips.

She was fantastic.

Wasn't she banging Cliff Richards at one time?

Everyone knows that pure water is tasteless. Tap water isn’t pure water and contains minerals and additives that can give it a slight taste.

Remember the old lady Swans fan that wouldn’t let Clare Balding sit down at Crufts after the BBC asked her to keep the empty seat next to her for Clare Balding?
Clare Balding was in the middle of doing a piece to camera and went to sit down and the old lady said “you can’t sit there I’m keeping it for Clare Balding.”

If water had a taste to it the Robinson family would be living in a caravan

Unless you're boiling and condensing every glass of water you drink, or getting it from some fancy lab, you'll never have 'pure' water.
