Stains easily, not keen. Hate most coppers

Did you know coffee isn't carcinogenic??

World Service told me different during the night



Who do you believe?

The IARC runs a register of environmental causes of cancer.

There is a scale ranging from category 1 - including activities such as smoking - where the evidence is convincing, to category 4, where there appears to be no risk.

Since 1991, coffee has been in category 2B - reflecting what was then seen as a possible link to bladder cancer.

Now, it has been switched to category 3, which means it cannot be classified.

There, that should be clear : rolleyes:

Any plans this weekend??

Yus. Orf to see mini twass tonight on the train, spending tomorrow with her as she has day offski, then to friend's house, and out to see a cover band Saturday night, home Sunday

What are you currently reading? I have The Real Middle Earth- Magic and Mystery in the Dark Ages by Brian Bates....fascinating read!

Not currently reading anything, no time for anything aside from a copy of DC's original Crisis on Infinite Earths which lives in the loo

Do you say rest room, lavatory or toilet??

Usually toilet or loo. I believe loo comes from the French word for water, l'eau......am I right?

I believe so. Many years ago I read that the phrase goes ,"Gardez l'eau!", yelled as you threw the contents of the chamber pot into the street below. Whether it's true or just an urban myth I couldn't say.

Do you have a decorated Victorian chamber pot with a colourful collection of flowers growing in it?

Sadly not, but I would like one!!

Did your grandparents have an outside loo with no electric lighting?

I would say yes

[ I have been up pottering about - since before 4-30am - due to going to bed before 9pm last night ]

Overcast all day here
Have you got any summery weather - so far today ??

Yes, it's glorious here in Kent, washing is nearly dry, hacking of far areas of garden been achieved so total wilderness doesn't close in [got to keep Landlords happy] and front door been fixed by a farm worker the size of a brick sh*thouse. He just walloped it open and filed down the lock fixings a bit, hey presto!

I've also been up since early......is it lunch time?

It is

How do I fake illness to get to see the Wales game at 14:00??

Get talcum powder and lightly brush your cheeks with it so you look pale. Disappear to the loo for ten minutes and come back to the office clutching your guts and say, "I really think I will have to go home. I've just been horribly sick."

And yes I have done this before. I should get an oscar for the sickies I've pulled. Go for it!

Is it footy?

Nope......it"s coffee cancerous confusion syndrome.....can attack the unwary causing any number of disagreeable symptoms,including scientific researchitus. A malady for which there is no known ccure


Terrible ain't it?

Shocking hoots! Do you find yourself compelled to ask questions in other threads because you are so used to having to ask one in here?

Yes!
