tell me something interesting
 

I am bored!!

at home nothing to do and need something to entertain me.

have sorted bike insurance, sprayed bodywork and now baking chocolate brownies for Freak.

Running out of things to keep me busy so looking for interesting information to entertain me...

I'm bored too Lily.
Phoned work this morning and told them I couldn't be bothered to go in, now regretting it cos I've got nothing to do and I can't even cook brownies!

pretty easy mate, look online for a recipe... only problem is resisting them now they have come out of the oven!!

Have 99% booked Laguna Seca ... :D

GIT!!!

I really want to go and found cheap flights and with exchange rate its a good value, but need to wait and find out about work for his lordship first.

Other option may just be to do a normal trackday there, but with bike hire it may not be any cheaper.

.....Brownies? Mmmm....

not many normal trackdays at laguna

Lily, can you save me some please?

I will come up for a coffee morning, as previously mentioned - one day:)

Better be some left! :devil:

The pied wagtail is the smallest bird in britain which is able to walk.
A Pidgeon is the only bird able to suck from the ground - up.

are there birds that are smaller that can't walk?

why would a pidgeon want to suck?

whats the smallest uk bird then?

wren?

The Wren is one of the UK=s smallest birds (weighing c. 8 g) and occurs throughout the UK in a wide variety of habitats. It is known to be affected strongly by snow cover and cold winter temperatures with breeding populations severely reduced after particularly cold winters. Numbers can recover quickly, however, because under most conditions Wrens can produce two broods per year of around 5-8 young, each of which survive well if winters are mild. Changes in population size between years are strongly related to mean temperatures in December, January and February.

another bit of useless info from the building industry:

BS5534: Code of practice for slating and tiling, recommends that no space at the eaves should allow a 16mm ball to pass through (known as the BS TIT Test, named after the smallest British bird that nests in houses)
:lol:

tis the wren. Some people refer to the goldcrest as the samllest bird in britain, but it's a pretender I say, as it's more a european bird.
Should I have said indigenous?

Why does it suck?
So it can drink. Why else?

Lily, to save me googling more:

:D

Jade - Big Brother House

:lol:

I thought it was Jordan, so named of course because her breasts are the size of that country. :frog:

that'll be the "Essex Bird"

In music a major scale always has the same chromatic formula. As you go up the scale the notes you need to play (after you've played the first note you choose - or root note) are tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, tone semi-tone.

Play that relative pattern starting on any note and you'll have played a major scale of whatever note it was you started from.

So, on a piano, if you start on C it's all the white notes

thanks for the facts folks, all things i knew nothing about :)

but i gave up and went shopping instead :lol:

What did you get me?

Lots of great pressies Tony.... but i spent so much i cant afford to post them ;)

Maybe she has bought something for me?






















Unlikely, but you never know

Continuing the bird theme, what is the only bird that;

1) can fly backwards?
2) can walk upright?
3) has a willy?

was gonna buy you a kettle, but didn't see any I liked.

Guess i just go with your plan to put some silicon sealant on it and hope i don't scald myself too much more until then :P

Lily, you can bring the pressies down when you come down to Heathrow - I can wait :D

might not be coming now afterall.....

such a shame as well, guess i had better take them back!

:P

Tease!

I try :D

sadly it was a particularly unsuccessful shopping trip, not like me at all :(

.....Luckily for me then!:frog:

didn't even manage any undies which is worrying, i think i may be coming down with something.....

have you ever known me to come back from shopping without even a pair of pants?

From Essex innit?

If someone was reading that and read that the wrong way... well! :lol:
