Is this really telling you "Don't clog your toilet with this, kill a turtle instead"?8988fdce2ebbb0ff22e6d205cbc31dc9.jpg

I think the blue picture is telling you "this product will not help you if you have the turtle's head"

Needed more iron in his diet..

 

A Lithuanian man has had more than a kilogram of nails, screws, nuts and knives removed from his stomach by doctors, local media report.

He had been swallowing metal objects for a month after quitting alcohol, doctors said.

Some of the objects retrieved during a surgery in Klaipeda University Hospital were 10cm (4in) long, according to Lithuania's LRT public broadcaster.

Surgeon Sarunas Dailidenas called it a "unique case".

The man was brought by ambulance with severe abdominal pain to the hospital on the Baltic Sea coast.

He is now reported to be in a stable condition, and is being monitored at KUH

Lot of good suggestions here. I suspect some are lacking in practicality though.

Genuinely disappointed no one has come forward as having a hatter. This is something I think I want, but am unsire if it really exists outside of Wonderland.

Here is something more practical for a prolific home brewer such as yourself.

Fuel supplies: Mortar tanker tailed by drivers looking for petrol - BBC News

 

They had the cheek to complain that he didn't stop and explain that he wasn't carrying petrol! But just think of all the petrol they wasted by following him...

Driving a mortar tank and being followed by 20 cars.  He was probably bricking it.

Seeing as you're all mad as hatters tonight, here's a wee snapshot of a rather special shop in Mrs. FP's hometown.

 

Cincinnati, eh? Keep her well away from @Meldrew, especially if she rides a bike.

Is there anything that causes more passive aggressive tension than train seat reservations?

Always enjoyed it when the electronic ticket reservation system failed on the London-Aberdeen Virgin train (not just because it benefits reservationless me). All-out "well he's in my seat, get him to move first" carnage.

Say what you want about the Archaic 'bit of cardboard in the top of a seat' approach, but at least it works.

Hardly been on for days so just catching up now. Sorry for the days late reply but on hats, it reminds me of something from my youth. 

My dad would go on fishing tournaments. Police forces would organise tournaments against each other - the old Scottish constabularies had a championship. The best anglers went in to the UK police fishing championships, and dad was on the Scotland team. These were social affairs and often the teams would give each other little gifts like bottles of whisky, hats and the like.

I was working for Somerfield in Alloa and it was Christmastime. I had got a shift doing overtime collecting trolleys from the car part but the weather was miserable so I borrowed a baseball cap of my dad's (without asking him). All shift long people were giving me some very, very iffy looks. I couldn't work it out until I got home and dad saw me with his "Royal Ulster Constabulary" baseball cap on.

Apparently they were an unpopular Irish band who later broke up over creative differences.
