I've never eaten 3 eggs in one go!

Scrambled, it's not a lot. It was breakfast, but lunch too.

The "experts" in thinking up business ideas think of names for a totally different subject, so we get an online book seller named after a rain forest and a telecoms network after a fruit etc

I was mulling over ideas that involved a colour and an animal.... but then thought "no". Re Amazon - I always thought it was named after the female warrior race: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazons

Of course the REAL secret to success is to be living/based in London
You can make/flog anything there simply because it's a ton of people squeezed into a small space all looking for things to change their life, or things they "must" be seen to have.

...impetigo?

They never mentioned that one. Specialist came up with a bizarre and rare thought, then wrote it down for the practitioner, then dismissed it.... so that'll be the next revisited item if it's not this.... can't recall what it was, I'll try to google it based on being able to remember the first part of a 3-part name ..... nope, can't find it. It was Palmer (Palma? Parmer?) something something.

Is it on both legs - could you try the different cures on each leg and see which one works the best?

It's true scarmbled eggs look like barely anything. One scarmbled egg looks miserable but holy in its minutiae, two look ok but mean, three look decent IMO. Dh has been known to have five. It's incredible.

I think I have an answer (not sure whether it counts as a riddle or not). But I cheated!

Oh my lir - what a change!

Cheating = asking google for a hint!

Edit - if its not the answer, its a good fact (assuming its true)

It's a long way from the 'pagoda' look, huh?


But actually, it's not so different to what it was originally, only without cracks and huge brick piers (forgotten the correct word) holding it up! There is a bulge in the wall (maintaining original line) and a dip in the roof, so it doesn't look like a twee extention I hope, just what was there cleaned up. Windows are identical there, only, not rotten!
