    Thanks Newshadow I shall wander off and bang my head against a nearby wall . The trouble with Bob is I never know if he is going the innuendo route - He does have previous as GQ can testify .
    Sorry Bob

    I'll bring the Twiglets. Tried to post earlier, along the lines of finally having the time to train as a lawyer post mortem like Mr. Slant (for fellow Pratchett fans) but got interrupted.

    I'd be very interested to find out, if activity in the brain stem was detected, just what was in there... Or maybe I wouldn't!

    Pratchett references always welcome.
    Though Mr Slant was remarkably sane for one of his profession (given the tendency for substantial numbers to end up as politicians).

    Depending on your religious beliefs, you may well not wish to know. I'll admit to some curiosity alongside a the revulsion.
    BB How did you know pale blue is my favourite colour ? You don't live that near . I am missing the reason for the towel suggestion . Maybe I am too innocent and you are meaning something my convent education never included or do you mean I could be a towel . I am slim not thin - flat Stanley I aint !

    I suspect its just another Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe reference - a towel being considered particularly useful.
    I would object to being cast as a tentpole as well :) and given Bob's general proclivities I would object to being cast as his towel.

    Thanks Siebre I know and love it well . Just I am always waiting for the trap in Bobs posts .
    I will happily have the towel and be of great importance . There are a few on here who will find it's payback time Imay forgive Mar though because it wasn't her fault a certain person gave her all the chocolate .

    Actually, it's a reference to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, not the Universe.
