This was a tough one to come up with a list for but I managed. Maybe you can think of a few new things?

1. In a parallel universe, classical music, and not Billy Mays, was the spokesperson for Oxi-Clean.

2. Always wait until the plane is long-since departed and everyone around you is asleep or near-it to strike up a conversation with the person next to you.

3. Everyone likes mom better than dad.

4. Airport bartenders will pour infinite shots in quick succession for their customers in the middle of the afternoon.

5. Green polyester is not appropriate wedding reception attire.

What the hell is the point of your thread? I went to it, and the same 5 are shown, and no one has even commented on your "observations". Are you making fun of the movie, or are these little "observations" that you actually "learned" in watching this film?

6. Emma Thompson is really tall

7. Always check the suit you buy for security tags BEFORE leaving the store.

8. you can know authors of books without reading them.

9. never spend more than 200 pounds on a dress your buying for a total stranger.

10. never forget your heart meds before flying overseas.

11. it's perfectly o.k. to go to your neighbors home, to ask if they can show you how to slice a smoked ham...only if they left it on your doorstep.

12. if you are on a "blind date" & you see a bunch of your dates friends join you, expect to go home alone.

Don't speak for the vast numbers who did learn things--great movie, but only for those who appreciate plots and the human condition, however good or bad. The ignorant masses pass these over every time as uninteresting.

Hey, hey, calm down. I liked the movie, I was only making a joke about how few posts there where compared to other "100 things I learned from..." topics.

Calm down? What in the world are you talking about? A firm opinion means someone needs a valium? Don't think so bud.

[–] Stein-e 14 years ago

Well you seemed pretty aggressive telling me "not to talk for the vast masses".

[–] LoveBritFilms 14 years ago

you're arguing with yourself now--and yes, I'd appreciate you not speaking for me--telling people to calm down is silly--you haven't seen aggressive apparently--don't waste the board's time with arguing with a tone that's not there--just attack the post itself. My lord.

[–] Stein-e 14 years ago

I have never attempted to speak for you, and I'm not arguing anything, I'm just setting straight that I did not try to "speak for the vast masses" just make a joke. I can only assume comedy is a concept you do not grasp.

To continue:

14. There's something in the air in the UK that allows you to stay up all
night until dawn, and you can still make a date to meet someone at
noon the same day without needing any sleep.

15. A good place to keep smoked ham is at the bottom of a closet.

16. Dress shops require that before a woman can purchase the obvious
sensible choice of a dress, such as the always-reliable little
black style, she is first obligated to try on every horrendous
dress that the shop has on hand, even if no woman would wear it
outside of a circus or a Halloween parade.

I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

17. Emma Thompson had never appealed to me until this movie. She is now seasoned, mature, and totally hot!

18. Exchange of personal phone numbers' the hardest thing to do for people in love.

19. When you ask the waiter to seat your father and his friend at a wedding reception, he will stick them at the kids table.

20. Ad agency do not want real music but kids with computers.

21. Dustin Hoffman is too old to be going out with Emma Thompson.

22. If you are running late for your plane, its ok to push the check in queue and no one will complain.

Its that man again!!

I am reminded of that character on Mad TV who was supposedly a customer service woman and kept saying "Simmer down! Simmer down!", even though it was inappropriate, until she actually drove the customers crazy just by saying it over and over. Looks like some people who comment on here can be characters themselves; part of the unintended humor we older folks sometimes see in the young and clueless.
