That's very impressive. How old is he?

I thought that quite a lot of those explanations were tongue very firmly in cheek. At least I hope they were. I wouldn't put it past the site's author to have written quite a few of those himself.
Let's hope so.
A while ago I was at a party where somebody showed me a trick that involved making somebody stand on one foot with both arms out to the sides, and then pushing on one arm to make them fall over (not badly, just so they'd have to put their other foot down). The misdirection bit was that they would remain upright when holding the "magic" item, but topple if they were not holding it. I couldn't immediately see how it was done, so decided that the first thing to find out was whether it was genuinely caused by holding the object (eg change in muscle tension when gripping something) or by the magician pushing differently in a way that the subject couldn't identify. I therefore asked the guy if we could try it with him not knowing whether I was holding the magic item or not. He looked at me in great perplexity and asked if I was really trying to do an experiment to find out if it was really magic, and was greatly relieved when I explained I was just trying to eliminate the muscle tension possibility. :rotfl:My son has been looking for a homeopathic job - work one day in a million.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Nice pic CK. We've got Kids in the Dealing Room tomorrow. 87 kids being looked after by a bunch of Elves and an EA!
They reckon most dealers would sell their own Grandmothers. Now well see if they're prepared to sell someone else's kids. 0 -
Here is a puzzle that was another thread yesterday. You have to be precise in your answers, so King's Cross with the apostrophe in the right place etc

That's brilliant. I'm going to work my way through that over the next couple of days.
For people who have kids, or adults who like this sort of thing (like me) they can have a personal greeting from Santa. I posted this last year, but it is a new version.

I'm at 64 now, started using the tube map to help me after 44.
My favourites so far are Barbican and Turnham Green
I'm ready to kill now. It's so frustrating! :mad::mad:Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I am up to 48, and am trying my best not to look up a map.
Edit - just seen that doozer was using a map at this point. Maybe I'll do that when I get to 50 0 -
I was upset that the one I was convinced was circle line was actually oval. Some of the puns are terrible - Aldgate, gah!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Ok, I'm just about to open the tube map...
