Stupid, But Not Admitting It To Him

[Sparkles62]

Mr Sparkles has just read this item title on the news .....Habitat loss causes decrease in UK moth numbers....... and said " how can a shop closing affect the amount of moths in the UK.
Told him he is an idiot, its the loss of their habitat , not the shop................didn't tell him i read it exactly the same way as him for the first 30 seconds or so... ha ha

[DaisyNonna]

How patronising shoota.

[shoota]

Sorry Daisy, thought it was a lighthearted post.....

[Answerprancer]

Daisy - he's being ironical.

[DaisyNonna]

Forgiven, shoota. Not at my most understanding tonight.

[Answerprancer]

For a minute, I thought Habitat had gone into receivership and the decline in moth numbers was due to the resultant loss of lighting fittings.

If you're there Mr Sparkles, I'm with you on this one, there is no way that the closure of Habitat could affect the amount of moths in the UK.

[jno]

they certainly won't be as well designed if Habitat closes.

[ladybirder]

I thought Habitat had closed down???

[Wharton]

If moths are attracted by the light why don't you see them during the day?

[Answerprancer]

Because they all go flying (clockwise) round the Sun during the day!

[Wharton]

What about Australian moths then?

[Answerprancer]

They have Ladybirder - must've slipped me by. Wikipedia told me so - it must be true ..goddammit, where do I buy my poncey candleabrahabras now!!?

[Answerprancer]

We all share the same Sun Wharton - Australian moths circumaviate it just the same as British ones, just a 12 hour time difference!

[Wharton]

I don't believe any of this Answerprancer. The sun is 93 million miles away. How could the moths go round it every day?

only just seen this - brilliant :-)
