    That is fairly mundane, shellfish are filter feeders and can be dodgy if not stored/prepared or cooked properly.

    Yes, I caught crabs in Morecambe once - happy days.
    My wife says that I'm a shellfish lover.

    I'm sure there's a cockle joke I could use here too......

    Sorry got carried away, far too much frivolity.
    On a more mundane thread, I bought some schoolsocks for my son today. Dark grey from Next.

    Pairs of socks always turn into solitary pieces of clothing when they exit my washing machine. I never find the missing partner. I have overcome this problem by only buying similar looking pairs of black socks. This way I am no longer constrained to re-uniting lost sock partners ('soul' mates?). I think you should make sure that all of your kids socks are grey - if it was good enough for AC/DC....

    P.S. Grey is definitely the most Mundane colour isn't it? It even makes beige look a little edgy.

    I bought a sofabed from DFS last week. We ordered the footstool from a different range, but the nice man managed to get in touch with the factory and cover it in the same fabric as the new sofa. My wife is very pleased. Afterwards we went to a beefeater for a bit of lunch, as it was next door and very handy for lunch.

    X factor is taking some good music and making it mundane. I would rather slam my love torpedo in a car door than watch anymore X factor.

    People getting upset about whether to use Campy or Campag as an abbreviation for an

    You could also say it's redundant e.g. 'a river of water'. Anyway, that film sounds awful. TV was so bad last night (except for a repeat of Spaced) that I curled up with a good book and a hot toddy.

    my cat ate prawns out of a dustbin once and then threw them up all over my kitchen floor.

    Funny thing is - he not only threw up the prawns, but also quite a large worm that had been living inside his stomach.

    The worm lived for another 5 hours inside a jam jar.

    i called it eric.

    Wrong thread mate, that is really interesting. :wink:
  • Eric is a good - and perfectly mundane - name for a worm.

    Eric means eternal ruler, ever powerful, one leader or similar in Norse. I was hoping for a more mundane meaning like 'steadfast one' but what can you do?

    I wish I was a Viking rather than working in the public sector in Preston......

    So how many 'eternal' rulers named Eric are around now? Not so eternal, me thinks.

    The girl group 'Eternal' didn't last very long either.

    Metric means there's now 30.48cms in a ruler.
