A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. Out of a pie, 4-and-20 birds fly? But a fly does not bird when it lands in my pie. Birds, flies. Discuss. Why is the "danger: keep ties and necklaces away from this shredder" label on my shredder so small that one needs to get within tie-catching range...

This occurred to me today: does it hurt when the umbilical cord is cut between mother and baby, and if so, who gets the hurt? All I've been able to determine from the internet is that your basic umbilical cord has 3 blood vessels, some jelly, and a sheath. Nothing on nerves or anything...

Just so long as you aren't ripping it to shreds with hounds, I don't have a problem with such a cull!

I'm looking forward to spending a whole night in a club without worrying about some daft tart carelessly burning me with a cigarette :lol: Now, I like to drink. I seldom drink more than about 10 units/week, and almost never on weeknights: any more than a couple of pints and I feel bad the...

This is why Kyoto is all wrong: make it apply to EVERY nation. What's the point in becoming industrialised on dirty old technology when we have cleaner new technology and are trying to develop clean tecnologies? And what is so wrong with the rich/poor divide? Does richness really =...

I hate to be a pedant, but it's a French car with Danish numberplates :P :wink: So do anything you want off your list, but bear in mind it'll be their neighbours who come to tell you off. :shock: PS Am I the only one who finds it ironic that muslims are being urged to boycott the...

But will they? People will still want to go out and drink. :D Do people avoid pubs because they don't sell curry? I like to eat a curry and drink beer at the same time, but I still go to the pub. What about watching football? One of my mates moans if we go to a non-football pub when the...

I've not had a proper fistfight as an adult but come close on a few occasions. Being quite large and being aware of possible situations around me I think I am pretty good at avoiding becoming the target of some moron's negative attentions. I like my nose and teeth the way they are! The...

Might I recommend you stand next to the £6/pack cigarette machine. Come on smokers, just think how much more drunk you can get when you aren't spending £40 a week on cancer sticks! My dad gave up a few months ago and has said the two biggest differences he has noticed are 1) food and drink...

Does anyone actually find it directly offensive? I mean seriously, I've NEVER witnessed some visibly taking offence when a woman starts breastfeeding. People generally seem to view boobs in different ways depending on the situation. No-one has ever nudged me and said "phwoar, check THOSE...

Wow, we haven't had much of a response from the smokers (other than our reshident shmoker Woodyoulike :wink: ) Perhaps they're all outside having a fag? :wink: I'm glad about banning smoking in pubs... there's far more pleasurable ways to harm your health in a pub. There has been a...

It means that either those men are having affairs with each other, or those women are having affairs with more men!!! Although, I once read a survey where the results were something like "The men surveyed claimed to have an average of 10 previous sexual partners, the women claimed 5." So...

Last year I was single at Valentine's (also for the first time in 8 years!). So, I rang around all my single friends and organised an "It's Valentine's Day and I'm not bitter!" outing for the evening. Guys and girls, all down the pub for food then on to a club. Had a great time!!! Funny...

But I like driving faster. :?

Funny you should mention that... I saw some ultralight helicopters on the internet a few years ago, self-build for around £10K. I enquired with the land managers at work but there was no way they would let me land a helicopter there :lol:

Pathetic and self-obsessed? Surely it is more pathetic and self-obsessed to move in next to a main road and then protest that the cars are driving at the posted speed limit. I don't see why thousands of people should have to leave 5 minutes earlier because a few hundred people don't like the...

Naaah, cos if I can maintain a steady 60mph in fifth gear then I use less fuel than if I slow down to 30, bumble along in 3rd and then have to accelerate back to 60... 'speshially if I have to go 80 to the next village to maintain my average speed :P They're all in the navy aren't they...

My parents neighbours are like this! I was washing my car out the front, the man of next-door was too. He came over to me and gave me a frantic, earnest and almost embarassed reasoning on why he now drove a Mondeo 1.8LX (yes, he even used the LX bit!) and hadn't bought a Ford Scorpio or a BMW...

I've heard that quite often people from neighbouring villages are caught... "I'll speed through your village but you better slow down through mine" sort-of thing. :P :P :P I don't mind slowing down for one or two when on a leisurely road trip on a summer's day with a group of friends...

So if you buy a house for $400K, you have to pay $100K tax when you buy it?!?! Or have I misunderstood this? Pip, remember the petrol is about 84-RON though, if you want 98-RON you pay a LOT more (IIRC about the same as UK petrol!) My experiences of the US (mainly Florida) were good...
