Haha! NO

A while ago somewhere on this thread, I said that I had learnt that two of my friends had been seeing each other for 10 years, and that I didn't know about it.

Well, we went out with them for a meal last night and I had actually mis-heard. It's been 2 years, not 10 :D

Today I have learnt that Bee keepers tend to prefer having the entrance of their bee hives facing hedges/fences. This makes the bees fly higher, making them travel further distances to collect pollen from more varied sources and therefore producing better quality honey.

You're advised to take Lansoprazole when taking Diclofenac to combat those symptoms

Ring-bark it then stand back and watch it die a slow and, some say, painful death and probably fall on someone in revenge.

I could just go out and buy one the same as the one I've already got, and he won't notice the difference.

Tell him the hoover is useless at picking up, meaning it takes twice as long to vacuum the house. So if he doesn't buy a new one he can do the bloody hoovering.

It does pick up well - it's just got something loose in it I think and makes this horrible grating noise.

I took it apart this morning but couldn't find anything loose in it. Cleaned it all down, put it back together again (with the exception of one little screw that I couldn't find a place for) and it's still making the noise.

So it's not like I haven't tried.

You're right, I'll wait until Gary gets in and ask him to saw through it or something. He's a lot taller than me so will be able to get to it easier.

I wouldn't be able to tie anything around it anyway because I can't reach it :rolleyes:

" Definition of ring bark

1. To remove the bark from a tree in a ring all the way around its trunk, normally killing the tree (because nutrients are carried through the phloem, the layers immediately under the bark, which layers are damaged by the process).

But if you can't get to it then it isn't much help, but at least you can add it to the things you've learnt today :)

Well I just did a quick bit of research.

Yamori is a Japanese word for a gheko. So that's settled that one.

I also found out that the word Namako is Japanese for 'sea cucumber'.

Sorry Chinese people for getting a bit confused.

I have learnt that when giving relationship advice to your son it is very very difficult not to grab him by the shoulders , shake him and shout

'She is no good for you so call it a day'.

Luckily I resisted and instead put my arms round his shoulder and said

'Only the two of you know what is right for the both of you'.

Sometimes I am so wrong for doing what I feel is right :)

I've learnt that the more you try and tell them they are with the wrong person, the more they will insist they aren't.

It's very hard to watch your own child carry on with an obviously bad relationship, but they do have to find out for themselves, even if it takes years!

So true. And I was no different.

What got me is when I said to him

'It will be foolish if the two of you see the solution as moving in together'

I was left with the distinct impression that that was exactly their solution.

If your lad is under 25, the more you try to dissuade him, the closer he'll get to her. What you need to do is give her your approval. He'll dump her within a week :p

Ghost trains in funfairs were inspired by a play written in 1923 by Arnold Ridley called "The Ghost Train".

Mr Ridley - the godfather of ghost trains - later went onto play Private Godfrey in Dad's Army.

More on Arnold Ridley:

"After making his debut in 'Prunella' at the Theatre Royal, Bristol, in 1914, he joined the British Army as a private in the Somerset Light Infantry. He saw active service in the First World War, sustaining several serious injuries: his left arm was left virtually useless by injuries sustained on the Somme,[3][4] his legs were riddled with shrapnel and the legacy of a blow to the head by a German soldier's rifle butt left him prone to blackouts."

How could you smash Private Godfrey in the head with a rifle butt :(

Oh, so they're saving money in the make up department then? Surely they'd be better off just letting him and his mum run around naked?

I find I sometimes talk myself or let someone else talk me out of my gut instinct and then end up totally wrong about something/someone.

Best to stick with it, I think :)

Thanks.

Risk management and I can only use my 'gut' and 'brain'. Failed myself in the past, so am rather scared of it all these days.

Want some big sign to say.... 'THIS IS RIGHT', but that's not happening and I wonder if if should be.

Gut is..... nice guy, not many nice guys, keep going with it
Brain is...... finding it not 100% captivating
