There are over 80 pyramids in Egypt.

A lot of them are failed attempts though, aren't they?

I remember seeing some when I went to Egypt and I would hardly call them pyramids, although our guide did.

They just looked like a pile of rocks to me.

I learned what I'd suspected for awhile. That my truck's heat and ac air flow is stuck in defrost/foot mode and won't switch to just feet or just defrost, or feet and face mode. And it's 90* here this week:(
I learned it only cost $51 to fix it:lux:

There you go - you 'got' it :)

It may not be to your taste, but it was humour all the same.

It's dry humour which can be confused with sarcasm if it's not your type of humour. I happen to like a dry sense of humour and have been accused on many occasions of being sarcastic, when in fact I'm not being :)

It's not funny as in stand up and tell a joke, funny.

I can't describe it. If you haven't got it, it's very hard to explain it to someone else. When I read it, it made me smile - it's almost an impish type of humour, if you like.

My sense of humour totally bypasses Mr B. I end up having to explain what I meant which sort of takes the humour out of it, so I do understand people who don't appreciate the particular type of humour.

Also, maybe having met Mr Mazipops, I can hear him saying it - which makes it even funnier.

Maz

29-05-2010, 03:28 PM

It's not funny as in stand up and tell a joke, funny.

I'm trying to act like today is just like any other day, so this is what I've learnt today.

Since I had my wisdom tooth out 2 weeks ago, I've been getting this irritating little tickle in my right ear. It's as though a little insect is crawling around in there every now and again.

So I did a bit of investigating on the internet, and it turns out that this can be quite common when you've had your mouth open for a long time. It's something to do with a nerve from the jaw joint to the ear.

Anyway, during my research, someone who has suffered with this said that if you run your tongue across the back of your front teeth, the tickling sensation stops.

And it does! I don't know why it would work but it does. How strange is that?

Not at all too sure the abuse is justified however, (especially since whilst I may be many things I am clearly not a moron).

:eek: My Mum has just found out that a close friend of hers until recently) that she met when she lived in France was an infamous Irish paedophile (deputy head of Bangor Grammar school) convicted in 1998 , given 7 years , only had to serve 2.

I only met him a couple of times and have to say I did not take to him, my brother said the same and apparently my Uncle as well!!!

However he was highly respected in the ex pat community.

My Mum is in a bit of a state of shock understandbly that she trusted this man.

He obviously had no remorse and was still befriending kids out in France via the church and his teaching skills :veryangry :veryangry
