I have to resort to facts about bloody beetles ......:o

I don't think florentines mark one out as intelligent. Unless the Florentine in question is my DH, not my biscuits.

I think I read my fact in a Bill Bryson book. But if it makes me sound intelligent, then I'm happy...

If you're in to facts, easy reading and being really well entertained then Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' is a great book. I'm sure proper scientists would find a lot wrong with it, but as a page-turner it's second to none. I loved it.

They weren't eating it, Silly One, they were laying in down for the great Crash of the 21st century. Somewhere peole are sitting on mountains of vintage cans.

Now thats investing with hope for future invention.

I'm sure the economies of breast enlargement must be correlated with a recession?

Or house prices.

Simple vanity and The Rules of The Mating Game....nothing heavy or deep in it I am afraid.
The anti ageing obsession is rooted in ancient history though....like Greek tales of immortality etc.

Hmm I don't know, I was never a fan of wine until I discovered my love of PINK LOL I am known for my rose addiction!! A girl started talking to me last week about which one/region/year I prefer and I was like "to be honest I only started drinking it because it was pink and then I got used to the taste":rotfl:
