Callistemon21 they’ll steal your bag if you don’t hang on tight if there is food inside.

It was very traumatic, tanith!
She had her toddler with her and got a biscuit out for him and the apes were there in a flash, in her bag, we were shouting "throw the packet of biscuits away" but she didn't speak English and our German was somewhat limited.

I was ready to grab the toddler but she got it eventually!

Robert Burns was the first person to feature on Coca Cola bottles in 2009, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of his birth.

I doubt he would have drunk it, unless he was desperate!

Santa Claus actually comes from Turkey. St Nicholas was from a place called Myra, and archaeologist there believes they have found his bones.

Oh no Blondiescot does that mean he is dead

I do hope there are no children on Gransnet

I never knew that either!

Blondiescot ?

No Blondiescot whatever it is, please don't say it!!!

When people thought there was a vampire near by, they would dig up the dead to see if they were in their coffins. Believing that the deceased's hair and nails had continue to grow, increased their belief that they were the un dead.

They didn't understand that with decomposition the skin on the hands and scalp shrinks back, giving the impression that hair and nails are longer than at the time of burial.

Sorry for the gruesome post but it was the only thing I could think of and yes, I also tried to hum while pinching my nose.

I tend to eat garlic, Smileless ?

Me too Callistemon better safe than sorry and it has been known to keep Mr. S. at bay if he hasn't eaten any too.

Did you know that a flock of goldfinches (a flock? I've only ever seen five!) is called a Charm?

The collective noun for nuns is a superfluity.

I looked this up as I met four nuns walking in the Valley of the Rocks yesterday. They were very friendly and were all wearing habits, wimples, walking boots and cagoules. Not something I've seen before!!

Why are you all posting on this obvious spam thread?!?

If you save your first wee of the day and wash your face with it, it helps to clear up acne, psoriasis and eczema. Let me know if it works.

Why do you say that NotAGran55? lizzypopbottle is a long established poster, not a spammer.

Chewbacca Thank you! ?

Do not, under any circumstances, eat Polar Bear liver. They store so much vitamin D in it it will kill you within 20 minutes.

Gagajo Some people eat their placenta. Some people throw placenta parties. Some people bury their placenta after giving birth and plant a rose bush in the hole.

Forgot to say it's called placentophagy.

Further to the benefits of wee you mentioned chewbacca it definitely works on chillblainsthe itching used to drive me nuts in the bad old pre-central heating days of the '60s until I braved trying it out (armed with a tin of talc for freshness afterwards of course)
Brilliant thread lizzypopbottle even if the placenta post made me queasy!

Wombats poo cubes.

Although quite funny, I have to say I'm so pleased not to be a wombat!!

That all depends on WHERE you're holding your nose!

Absolutely brilliant thread, lizzypopbottle, even tho one person seems to not have their sense of humour switched on today!
