A friend of mine eats the apple core after the apple. He'll says he's been doing it his whole life. I remember seeing an article the other day talking about apple seeds having minute amounts of...
I've just recently developed a serious passion for water melon and can eat copious amounts at a sitting (and regularly do - keep in the fridge and it's out of this world). I pick out some of the seeds...
Been chatting with a mate and his new canadian girlfriend wants to come and live in spain for a while. I was wondering - I imagine that a standard tourist visa would allow her access to Spain for...
Am about to open a shop and the street we're on seems to be a real favourite for all the local dogs to pee in - the owners letting them do it! I'm in Spain (and the owners don't care here....) and in...
Just got back from a trip to Africa. We got on a half full plane at Arusha, and flew 50 mins to Dar es Salaam, where half left again, more people got on and then we left to fly 9 hrs 45 mins to...
Just got back from a trip to Africa. Been taking 250mg Lariam every 7 days, starting 2 weeks before we left, and twice while we were there. It's seriously unpleasant stuff, although I do thoroughly...
Here's a picture of the fuse box from our new shop in Barcelona. The sparky wants to replace loads of stuff, but I reckon we could get away with leaving it since there are loads of outlets spread all...
I answered a question in here this morning that got me thinking about another aspect of the films used in modern cinemas. Clearly, they must have digital sound tracks. Modern Dolby and THX are all...
Assuming our phones have been enabled for roaming, will Vodafone UK and Vodafone Spain contracts work in Tanzania? Anyone know if they're 900, 1800, or 1900 over there? Or accept European roaming...
I resigned last year from my job and my last day of work was July 18th ('03). I haven't worked since (very lucky), and only just found out that I might be (or have been) entitled to some tax back. My...
There's a b&w film I remember seeing part of some years back which involves men driving huge delivery trucks at insane speeds though the countryside - they had to deliver fast but were disavowed by...
What are the correct (and incorrect) uses of these two words? I thought that Scots pertained to anything that is from Scotland, which most people (especially Americans) get wrong because they use the...
As you will probably know, British Home Secretary David Blunkett last year signed into law an agreement with the USA that allows for any British person to be extradited to the USA if it so wishes,...
I put a combination padlock on one of my bags. Can't remember the combination! How can I get it off without a hacksaw? Any ideas? Is there a trick? Thanks
Right - a complicated one. My family recently found out that there's a chance that my grandfather (my dad's father) might not have been his biological father. He's the middle child of 5. My...
In music videos, when the scene is in slow-motion, as many are, how do they maintain the mouth movement synch to the vocals? If I had to guess, never having seen how it's done, I'd say they would...
Just a quickie; was talking about this the other night with my girlf. I have a very high emotional response to some music that I love. If I want to, I can force it, but I can and have had in the past...
I'm trying to find a beautiful blissed out d&b track that's several years old - a kind of Moving Shadow or Good Lookin type break. The only real thing I have to go by is the vocal sample - from 'Taxi...
