Unanswered Questions?


Here's the answers to two of those age old questions that have been plaguing you since you could construct a sentence...

1) Do fish get thirsty?

Yes, but they do not drink. They get their water from the food they eat. After all, the human body is 90% water (... I think).

2) Why do old men swirl brandy and whiskey in a glass, and don't have ice in it?

The liqour is supposed to be warmed up by the warmth of one's hand, hence the swirling. The ice not only ruins this technique, but waters down the liquor.

My... have I had a productive weekend!

Dog Poo Police


Some people REALLY need to get a life.

My friend Tania came to Bolton the other week as she was up from London and working in Wakefield, which was ace, cos we got to meet up and chat and stuff and it was great to catch up!

Anyways, Tania needed to get a train in the morning, and since I needed to walk the dogs I walked them down to the station with her. However, en route, my dearest pooch Charles decided to go to the bathroom. Just as I started to retrace my steps and took out a poo bag to dispose of the said dump, a man in a nearby house opened his upstairs window, presumably to yell at me to pick it up, as he hastened to apologise as he realised I'd already stopped. Yet, he did not retire from the window. I said, 'What... are you going to watch me or something?', to which he failed to reply, but just stood and watched me pick up Charlie's poo.

Honestly. Some people are just so anal.
