Amazing that tattooists don't get written consent beforehand as a matter of course. I'd have thought a copy of the intended design, signed and dated by both parties would be a must.

Which bit of a chicken is the nugget, anyway?

Our kitten was watching with great interest as our 21 year old cat negotiated a double catflap into the garden. It won't be long before she gets the idea, I suspect.

Bet the next frame shows the paddlers picking the dog out of suddenly deep water.

Improving sensitivity is part of it. When I wore all my prints off my fingers were very sensitive, but only to static things - sliding smooth fingers across things doesn't give such a good idea of what the surface is as when you have prints.

I liked Bit in Tron - did exactly what it said on the tin.

I don't get it - what's wrong with their being sheep around when you also have customers?

And were it level, those struts don't look stiff enough to keep it that way when in use.

We lived very near Heathrow a few years ago. Because the house was so small we kept the washing machine outdoors in a hutch. When the bearings died you could hear it even over Concorde passing overhead.
I resolved never to buy another Indesit - when I took it apart to replace the bearings I found the plastic drum was glued shut so it had to be thrown away.

Alex - AdBlocker, innit. Never see 'em.

What's a "yellow teeth advert"?

I can see that catching on as the latest prison style.

Beavers have already been reintroduced to parts of Scotland and studies into repopulating parts of England are underway.
Needless to say, some landowners are very keen, others see it as the end of the world as we know it.

The hardest thing to do with photography is not to put the subject dead in the middle. Most people look into the eyes of someone in the viewfinder and that ends up centre-frame. Which makes for very ugly pictures.

The trouble I have with cards is that they're always so specific. Good quality blank cards in which I can write my own message generally cost more than something from Hallmark that says exactly what I don't want to. Like their "Recent operation" range, which contains this gem...

"Glad you've had a hysterectomy.
You lately looked a nervous wreck to me.
Bet you're glad the plumbing's missing
and now you're up to more than kissing"
