    I think I have an answer (not sure whether it counts as a riddle or not). But I cheated! :o
    God help me; my riddles never last long on this thread! I suppose it's a general knowledge question rather than a riddle, but a bit of an obsscure one.
    !'m frightened to ask what cheating means.
    Do you want to PM the answer?;)

    Cheating = asking google for a hint!

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


    I agree. Anybody know the answer without using a search engine?

    sorry for being weak willed! Been a bit of a stressful day... Got bridesmaid dress back from being altered and now can't do it up. Also on the verge of signing up with somewhere to live in new town, butstill not convinced I.have a job to go with it. Those are my excuses anyway!

    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!

    Sound great... Like it was before but better :)

    By how much does it not fit nikkster? Any chance of a cabbage soup diet quick fix?


    Btw, being a mucus membrane expert, does that make the gifts you give friends at weddings a bit...well.....prepared for the honey moon?

    I know this sounds crazy but I remember learning the term mucus membrane in biology and loving it.

    I'm going to see the alteration lady again on Sun. Hopefully she didn't trim too much. Dress was slightly gapey before. Now can't do up last couple of cm of zip, and material looks a bit under duress! Bit annoyed really. She was going to put a dart in then changed her mind (fair enough), but took in too much at the side seam.

    Present will he from the ubiquitous John Lewis list so.should be mucous membrane free :)
    I'm no expert anyway, looked at more blood cells than anything else!

    Is it on both legs - could you try the different cures on each leg and see which one works the best?
    Yes, but differently, so not a direct comparison.... and I'd hate the "good" leg to be the failed test and end up like the bad leg :)

    Is this new town anywhere near any NPs?
    Or is it in the London place?
