General Chit Chat

[Raven]

Most exciting thing so far this week was a wee mouse running out in front of my car (it made it) and my dog again trying to make friends with a hedgehog!

[Bruce Rioja]

My cat got in a fight with a squirrel this morning and as he is a farm cat you can guess who won

Did your cat kick it in the nuts, Dan?

[Dujon]

*groans*

[Prufrock]

Week ban for Bruce too ?

Somebody at work, whom I'd previously considered a bright sort, has just posed the question to a small quorum of us hanging about the coffee machine "how do 'they' get the seeds out of seedless grapes?" I mean really...

I seem to recall reading once that seedless grapes actually do have seeds but genetic modifications prevent a hard shell from forming round the seed. Of course, this could be rubbish. I was pretty sure that seedless fruits are grown from cuttings not seeds, so do not need seeds to reproduce. Now I discover they actually have a method of removing seeds....

one word: cultivars.

(or in the case of my thick work mate, fifteeen words: they must have a machine that somehow gets the seeds out without damaging the grapes)

Genetic Engineering !! God bless it.

While in London i lodge in this blokes flat, him and his mrs (fit) are away this week, but she has left an array of skimpy sussies on the maiden – is this a trap?

[Verbal]

Why isn't the maiden dressing herself?

[General Mannerheim]

ive just had to google maiden, to me it has always just been a stand on which to dry clothes - didnt realise it was also a servant, posh nice person.

was there again last night!

tbh, we take it in turns to pay, so every 4 or 5 visits you get hit with the bill which pangs, but the other times its FREEEEEE...

fair dos. Not been but friends who have always recommend.

Btw, I'm running another quiz at the Island Queen pub in Angel tonight if you want to come along.

Before you know it, you'll be spread eagled on the bed handcuffed to the headboard and she'll get pregnant. She'll demand paternity money from you. In reality they'll hire a kid from an agency (if you demand to see it, that is), they just need the money to pay the rent on the gaffe. It's a well known trick that Londoners play on Northerners all the time. Approximately 27% of London rents are subsidised through variations of skimpy sussies on the maiden traps.

No bother. I don't know, it might be done by the guys I work for but I'm not doing it personally. Good luck!
