Wooden Fruit Bowl

[Khandro]

Is this a bowl for wooden fruit? - and I see tonight on BBC4 there's a documentary on the Palio, "The world's oldest horse race", is this a race for very elderly horses, and if so, should it not be banned?

So many philosophical quandaries, K .... and so little time.

I use a Structural Engineer quite often. He's excellent with the maths, but I wouldn't like to try to hold up a lintel with him.

Just don't know what your problem is with a wooden fruit bowl!!

My brother (Andrew1707) asked if I realised that there were no Vegetarians in the Vegetarian Lasagne.

I go to a clinic at my GP to see my Diabetic Nurse, she isn't diabetic so is that the correct title.

Khandro - I hate to think what happens to the losers in the horse race.

This is where hyphens are useful - a wooden fruit-bowl or oldest horse-race would not be ambiguous.
There was a report on the news some months ago saying the Americans had carried out fresh air strikes on Iran; I assume they didn't mean fresh-air strikes.

It's also like them appointing a new head coach for the England Rugby team. Do they also need a coach for the feet etc?

What does an occasional table do when it's not being a table?

I've found that my remote control will only work for me whilst it is very near by.

If olive oil is made from olives, what is baby oil made from ?

Why do we say that a alarm clock or a fire alarm go off? They obviously go on.

Can you put tea on a coffee table.

[stuey]

Also, when something untoward happens in a building it is under lock-down. It aint: it's all locked-up so nobody can leave or enter.

Occasionally, Tony.

[tonyav]

What if it is a card table though, stuey.

[stuey]

Tony, are you running with a full-deck this afternoon?

[stuey]

And why do I always say that I'm going across the field to drink some wobbly-pops? I'm going to drink some bloody beers...Cheers:)

[tonyav]

Wasn't this afternoon, stuey. But I am tonight ;-)

[stuey]

Oh yes! Five hours difference; I forgot...Anyway, I'm orf.

[tonyav]

Enjoy your wobbly pops, stuey.

[Khandro]

It has set me wondering if a combination of my two examples might not produce the 'World's oldest wooden horse race'?
Actually folks, I have just watched the Palio program and it is the most astonishing 'sporting' event I have ever seen, highly recommended, and a cigar for anyone who can explain the rules.
