Do you mean that red and black Troop shellsuit he wears or the big Fila sweatshirt?

When I was very little I used to believe that actors who died in films would audition for the part because they didn't want to live anymore...


I also used to think the that the signs saying "HAZCHEM" was a warning in German, because it sounded more scary!

Cruel I know but when my kids were young, I told them that the ice cream man/women only played music to let the little children know they had run rout of ice cream, so not to pester then!! As I said, very cruel but with four kids, I had it relatively easy on this front as they didn't clock for many many years!! They weren't impressed when the penny dropped though!

You was not far from wrong, Actually there is no colour at all it's your Eye and brain that creates the illusion of colour

Well, there are different wavelengths of light which are 'colour', but yes, colour is how your eye/brain perceives them.

Basically White Light is invisible..


When light hits an object ? say, a banana ? the object absorbs some of the light and reflects the rest of it.


Which wavelengths are reflected or absorbed depends on the properties of the object.


For a ripe banana, wavelengths of about 570 to 580 nanometers bounce back.


These are the wavelengths of yellow light.

When I was young I asked my Dad how new MPs are picked. He told me they all go round the back of the House of Commons, then a man shouts go and the first person to put their hand up wins. I only discovered this wasn't true when I was 18.

    • Sadly I am not in the market for buying a new car, electric or otherwise, or else I would happily join the Tesla boycott, which seems to be having the desired effect (sales have fallen significantly, and Trump is calling the boycotters Radical Left Lunatics 🤣) I googled to try to find out if I was likely to buy anything American, in order to replace it with something not American, and the only thing I can find so far is Fairy Liquid (of which I already have a lifetime's supply, as I have a dishwasher,  so I rarely actually use the FL). I really don't feel I can google absolutely everything I buy,  but does anyone know of a website which has a comprehensive list of American imports to the UK, including but not solely food and household stuff? Also,  Amazon and eBay are both American, which is annoying as I buy quite a lot from both as it's convenient, so I will have to rethink that, I suppose.
    • Bumping this up as I’m wondering if the owner(s) of these dogs has now got another one being walked off lead and unmuzzled in the same area as reported on here.
    • Really grateful if anyone had any spare moving boxes. Can collect whenever convenient. Thanks
    • Our cat Booboo has been missing since early Sunday morning (09 March).   He's a three-year-old male cat with black fur (short).    He's recognisable from having very big feet - I think about two extra toes on each paw.   He's very nervous of strangers and doesn't go out the front of our house - he mainly hangs out in the back gardens on our block (Goodrich/Barry/Friern Road).   If you spot him please let us know (07771915355).
