Re: thebish as you have never seen him before...

Was that the Bish on the way to a Vicars'n'Tarts party, and thought he'd go as both?

Re: British Summer Time

You've lost me Bruce with the Scooby Doo stuff (Which is unfortunate; I like to be down wit' da kids).

I'll look out for one for you Bish, you can get augenwenders that aren't cuckoos, but all augenwenders are rare I'm afraid.

Cheers for the anecdote there Bobo (Lord Mayor of St. Asaph).

Re: British Summer Time

If you had to set them all to BST, how come only the two left ones show the same time? (Granted the cat may have been taken at another time but the three on the right seem to show different times). You're very observant Monty. You got OCD by any chance? Two on the left - photo taken day before yest...

I know it's an offence to litter (which includes dropping chewing gum) punishable by jail, but I didn't know they'd banned it outright.

Re: The Politics Thread

You've really got a thing about Singapore haven't you mummy.w.c.i.e.c.? Have you actually lived there? No - first became interested in Singapore after reading about their healthcare system in the last chapter of Tim Harford's 'The Undercover Economist'. Recommended reading. And then one of good mat...

Re: British Summer Time

Is that text in the frame to the right of the clock? If so, can I ask what it is? It almost looks like one of Robert Walser's microscripts ( http://catranslation.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/walser-microscripts.jpg ).

Re: British Summer Time

Has the cuckoo in the middle one been eaten by a cat? Nah, it's still there. It pops out and poops on the cat's head (it lives behind the little door at the top). By the way, the cat's eyes move from side to side with each swing of the pendulum! http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6340/p1010073tiny.jpg
