Took students on a field trip to the rocky shore in Devon. found a box of live flares on the rocks and realised I'd need to hand that in , as they don't mix well with teenage wisdom levels.
When we dialled the emergency services they sent the coastguard to deal with it.
instead of by helicopter or speedboat, rather anticlimatically they came by car!0 -
I have just picked up a good business idea, as I was doing somebody a favour. Always a bonus. This is product/offline/proper business.... not airy fairy online stuff.
I should share it with LIR .... it's ideal and we could cover a bigger area.0 -

Youshould come for the day some time and i will cook something without mushrooms.

I would be up for thinking about an idea.
I still have not cleared space in my pm box. I had four of those emails that tell you someone has tried to send you one, but i know believe at least one of those four people to be a weirdo, while three are chums, (so may also be weird but in a different way):D0 -

The bride wants to vet my best man speech. There's nothing bad in there but I don't think this is a reasonable request, I can see an argument coming...
Compromise.... Give her a flash card with bullet points. One bullet point should rea something flattering about her.0 -

I've read your mind, and I've got to warn you that your proposed Nice Person's Bomb Disposal Service(TM) may find there's a bit of a government monopoly already in place. Plus the insurance costs!:eek:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

To day my mother and husband were horrified at me weeding, plucking out nettles without gloves on. Sometimes my condition is helpful, today i cannot really feel my hands that well, so only tingles a bit. A polish friend of mine used to make her kid walk through nettles as apparently it is believed this has a positive impact on stopping arthritis developing, so who knows, in the longterm nettle stinga i cannot feel milght be a painless approach to good health.
I am sure however, i would notice limb loss through bomb disposal. We have them popping up around here for various reasons. Shortly after we arrived there was a note asking peopple not to move the bomb further away from the village if you found it, nor cordone it off or put a tradfic cone on top pf it.but to keep the hell away:rotfl:0
