    Cheeky? no, just trying to establish the parameters of what is ''bear''. I think teddy would be ''bear'' but it probably doesn't smell like one. And if the Teddy weren;t of a bear..but..say..an elephant I'd be confused again...

    You are very strange. :)

    edit: Teddy can be a bear, but a different type of bear. The looks like and smells like is a one way bear mapping, which isn't onto the entire population of bears. Does that clarify the 'bear' parameters!? :)

    Strange will do though. I possibly am.

    Or is strange higher on some sort of scale than ''just'' wise. If you are really wise do you get to be strange?

    I think I'm hungry, I even feel a little..peculiar..to myself tonight if I'm honest.:o

    We're all a little strange, no one is normal. Whatever 'normal' is...

    You're on the strange wise part of the spectrum.

    Its helping...on the clarification stakes I'd say we still have a bit of froth obscuring the stock...e.g. the stuffed non bear teddy. Thing's that look like bear and smell like bear but might not really be bear...like...some men...

    I don't expect answers btw...just thinking in type..

    Now that I agree with. There was something on the families board about salad today that made me giggle, it was exemplary of just this.

    As for what I've taken as a compliment, I think it applies to you too.

    A stuffed bear counts as a bear, a stuffed something else doesn't. A sheep in bears clothing, may be mistaken for a bear, but in reality isn't one. That's unless it's recently caught mad bears disease, in which case, it's a bear.

    As you will have seen rewired has joined us. So this may be a little too much for him to cope with. He only stalks that which he thinks he understands.

    But what timing..rewired thanks like a bear, therefore looks like a bear, and might well smell like a bear..and yet their is something so unbearish about them...malcolm, this stock risks making cloudy soup.
