I remember trying that when I was a kid, and all it did was make the core harden and shrink, but the brown outer "skin" became brittle and fell off. Doesn't seem ideal if cheating was the plan. ^ bumbling amateur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw kids throwing them at each other across a road in Newmarket a couple of weeks ago walking up to the racecourse. The road it is lined with horse chestnut trees (apt) and there were dozens on the paths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Cawdor Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 14 hours ago, hk blues said: mr I have never seen Charles Dickens receive any credit for creating the Four Yorkshiremen prototype. In Hard Times, Mr Bounderby invents a totally fictitious account of his appalling early life. ‘I hadn’t a shoe to my foot. As to a stocking, I didn’t know such a thing by name. I passed the day in a ditch, and the night in a pigsty. That’s the way I spent my tenth birthday. Not that a ditch was new to me, for I was born in a ditch.’ ‘My mother left me to my grandmother,’ said Bounderby; ‘and, according to the best of my remembrance, my grandmother was the wickedest and the worst old woman that ever lived. If I got a little pair of shoes by any chance, she would take ’em off and sell ’em for drink. Why, I have known that grandmother of mine lie in her bed and drink her four-teen glasses of liquor before breakfast!’ ‘She kept a chandler’s shop,’ pursued Bounderby, ‘and kept me in an egg-box. That was the cot of my infancy; an old egg-box. As soon as I was big enough to run away, of course I ran away. Then I became a young vagabond; and instead of one old woman knocking me about and starving me, everybody of all ages knocked me about and starved me. They were right; they had no business to do anything else. I was a nuisance, an incumbrance, and a pest. I know that very well.’ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) This headline had me pissing myself laughing, it's like something from The Day Today. I can almost hear Chris Morris reading it. Shouldn't really laugh because it's cruelty inflicted on animals by design.(I should add I don't read the GB news website for any other reason than to laugh at it) Edited October 19 by Swordfishtrombone Shite spelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted Monday at 12:53 Share Posted Monday at 12:53 (edited) Some great suggestions from the Great British Public on how to reform/save Our NHS. Best one is replacing ambulance sirens with healthy eating advice! https://change.nhs.uk/projects/your-ideas-for-change Also enjoy “reject gender ideology” and “dedicated NHS TV channel” as ideas.

Silvio Tattiescone Posted Monday at 13:42 Share Posted Monday at 13:42 The dedicated NHS tv channel would be a winner. A camera in a GP's surgery watching as Mr Miggins goes in to see about his piles that have been acting up whilst Mrs O'Glossop discusses her issues "down there". A million nosy old ladies would pay a subscription 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
