    Although giraffes have extremely long necks, they still only have 7 cervical vertebrae.

    For some reason I find that very interesting.

    does anyone know what time the tide is coming in at Bristol this afternoon? Hopefully there'll be some good driftwood today.

    Sorry, on topic, not off.

    By the way the highest active volcano is Mount Cotopaxi.

    Hmm. Don't think I'd quite grasped the idea there, I just thought it was a handy link to drop in.

    Anyone have any top tips to prevent home-made beefburgers degenerating into a random pile of mince 'n' onions during the cooking stage?

    You are making me go on topic but I think glue would work :lol:

    I had a big rump steak, new potatoes and mushrooms for lunch today. I rested the steak in a warm place for 5 minutes before dishing up and I believe it made all the difference.

    Some people still aren't getting the idea of this thread.

    Tai Mo Shan, which translates as, Big Hat Mountain, is the highest peak in Hong Kong, at 957metres. I have ridden up half of it and plan to do the rest when I get fitter and when the temperature here drops below the ridiculous 34 degrees which it is at present.

    ...so it turned out that the vicar wasn't a serial-killer after all. Which was nice.

    Daffodils on roadsides and roundabouts is a pleasant if not daft idea.

  • Sunday's ride - had a wasp fly into my mouth. Semi-successfully spat it out only to have the thing crawling around on my lip. Then brushed it away only to have it turn up on my leg before managing to get rid of the damn thing completely. Very lucky not to come away with a sting, I reckon!

    You missed out on some crunchy protein there, although I'd go for bees for their higher sugar loading. Think of the money you could save in jelly babies, if you perfected your technique. :wink:

    I've just had an email off SeeTickets informing me of the upcoming Reverend and the Makers tour. The subject title is 'Do Miss Reverend and the Makers This Autumn'.

    Alright then, I will.

  • Late last week I pointed out to a girl in my office that she shouldnt wear a black bra under a white blouse and left it at that. She has just come up to me today and said "I couldnt tell you last week as other people in the office would have heard. I cant wear a white bra as I have very dark nipples and they would show through the white bra and blouse :shock: .

    Wow. Here in the states, saying something like that to a women, especially at work,
    could be construed as sexual harassment. If she wanted to pursue it.

    It is here too but we are all able to take a joke as long as it doesnt go too far. Asking her to prove that she has dark nipples would be a huge step too far, I will wait for a leaving do or a Friday evening in a pub 8)
  • Ok, I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned (it's to long to read through now) but by putting something 'off topic' you're following the topic of the thread, therefore what you're trying to achieve is impossible! :wink:

    No. "Sing this Song All Together" or "Salt of the Earth" or(of course), "Gimme Shelter".
