nellie Report post Posted November 9, 2005 There is a reason, but I'm not sure I can divulge it. Just pretend it's the same colour as everyone else. Ever thought of getting a job in MI5! Nellie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted November 9, 2005 Kathryn's late nite topic tangent ... Talking of little mysteries, did you know that the earth's rotation is slowing down and consequently an extra second has to be added every year on New Year's Eve? Otherwise we would be completely out of sync with the sun. I heard it on radio 4 this morning - so it must be true. I'd love to be the person responsible for adding the extra second every year. I could truthfully say my job was to change the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallworld Report post Posted November 10, 2005 Does that mean that the earth is finally getting tired of spinning ? I just hope it doesn't then decide to spin in the other direction wac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted November 10, 2005 Barefoot, I did wonder when I posted as to the sex of Kerre and now wish I had put her/his as I was going to (kicking myself very hard now) As for the world thing, I want that job, a second is all I can spare in my life so that job would suit me fine. Wonder what the pay is and is there any chance of overtime just in case I can find a nano second that needs filling? Viper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenemo Report post Posted November 10, 2005 As for the world thing, I want that job. I've wanted it for years, ever since I heard the job title: The Universal Keeper of Time Currently held by a woman in Paris. Not sure what qualifications you need, though. Or who you apply to for the job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted November 10, 2005 Good isn't it! I am the queen of useless information........ In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb". Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury. Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. Coca-Cola was originally green. It is impossible to lick your elbow. The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour: 61,000 Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king in history: Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne Clubs -Alexander, the Great Diamonds - Julius Caesar If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's" ~~~~~~~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~~~~~~~~ At least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow Hmmmmmm i really should get out more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nellie Report post Posted November 10, 2005 kerre, I think it's because you are a juvenile.....only in the sense of age. I'm sure you are really very mature. I'm sure Kris will let you know, but don't tell the others, let's keep them guessing. Nellie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray Report post Posted November 10, 2005 Smiley, I cut and pasted that dyslexic piece and sent it to a couple of colleagues who proof read our contracts, as a cautionary tale. Even as I write this I can gtee that they've each sent it on to others. Although I'm particularly insignificant I do work in a big, global, organisation and so this will almost certainly have got to Hong Kong by teatime.
