  1. The people at the Inverness recycle centre are always very helpful. Sometimes I would like to leave them a tip but I am told they are totally against it.
  2. There are a lot of places in the USA where they do not do Chip and Pin - too slow. Instead they verify your card and then leave you with a slip to write down the amounts and then sign. If you sign without leaving a tip, they will do a generous tip for you.
  3. When Michaelangelo was asked to paint the Sistine Chapel, his first attempt was simply magnolia.
  4. .. and stay away from filming near nuclear test sites!!
  5. Threatening to invoke Article 16 is the equivalent of threatening to hold your breath until you turn blue.

  7. Man gets shot. Then he goes to have breakfast.
  8. Yes. Sugar is prepared to say "what do you need me for?" I have seen it on Dragon's Den as well.

  11. Take all the paper out of the shredder, put it back together as it was before and then try again. Simple.
  12. I am enjoying this season. I see this episode is directed by Lea Thompson, who starred in "Back to the Future". I also see that one of the producers is Paul Gadd. Not to be confused with somebody else who has the same name.
  13. Big rock creates a splash. Thankfully bigger rock does not.
  14. Probably comes with a great dental plan. Americans care about that sort of thing. (Bonus points if you know what Gene Hackman film I stole that from).
  15. Still better than American torpedoes in WW2 where the failure rate was 70%.
  16. "Look, my wife and I came to an agreement not to get involved in each other's business. I have no involvement with her company whatsoever and likewise she is not even aware that I am Chancellor of the Exchequer. I hope that answers your questions."
  17. 1. Silence of the Lambs 2. Alien 3. Predator 4. Flight of the Phoenix 5. The Fugitive
