Apropos of nothing at all...

Absent Class will always 'out'

Agus As opposed to the George W. "I've pooped in my pants" walk?

What a tease!

I didn't actually expect Phoenix to enlighten us regarding anything she may know, hence two 's at the end of both posts.

Well, I think I must be too dense; I may have contributed in some way (or not) but I still have no clue what the 'something' is.

Come on Phoenix, get plugged in!

Here's a link to enjoy while we wait:

She may have been hinting at something, but we are all too well-brought -up to take hints, aren't we?

Elegran my post was in response to Phoenix who I have a feeling may be hinting at something. Could be completely wrong of course

I have read research on genetic eye colouring as I was intrigued as to the reason, going as far back as I could, my GG grandmother down to my own GDs have dark brown eyes when the respective males had a mix of blue or green.

It's what I call a constipated look [Absent]

Three eyes Kiora? and a [stupid emoticon] for me too please GNHQ.....

Oh now I understand rosequartz Not. wish there was an [stupid emotion] just for me I have a dark brown one, a light blue one and a lovely shade of green one, no skeletons in my cupboard, unfortunately. I wish I'd miss spent my youth. Too late now. Bet HRH naughty A wishes he could say that with conviction today.

Perhaps Soutra was right with 'anus horribilis' then!

There seems to be a standard expression on the faces of all the male members of the royal family. It's kind of pinched, pained and twisted and looks as if they are staring myopically into the distance because they are too vain to wear glasses or are suffering from excruciating piles.

I remember having a lecture on this years ago at work with some complicated charts, most of which I have forgotten, but the above is a fairly simple explanation.

Yes, I also worked with someone who was totally unlike the rest of her family - before we knew much about genetics.

Inconclusive, I think, rosequartz

Genetics are very complicated. Sometimes features appear which have been hidden for generations - and cause consternation.

Him?

I was once at a golf club when Cilla Black's auntie shouted at him.

Still not sure where this is going .... or not as the case may be!

Nor in our family as we must both carry a recessive blue gene.
And a red haired gene
And a blond gene.

Yes, they are all ours!

What drip feeding? This is a scientific discussion of eye colour.

Two brown-eyed parents could each contribute a blue-eyed gene which had been hidden in them because their brown-eyen one was dominant, but if a child inherited the two blue-eyed genes, he/she would be blue-eyed.

Stop drip feeding!

Yes, it's also a myth that if one parent has brown eyes any children will, too as the brown gene dominates. It doesn't always, as was the case in my ex's family.

What rosequartz said!

(Sorry for slowness, having technical problems!)

Who, me?

Only making a comment on eye colour, not sure where this is going.
Ask phoenix - why??

!!!

Watch it!

That old thing about blue eyed parents not being able to produce a child with brown eyes is not strictly true - it is a general rule but a far too simplistic one.
Genetics is more complicated than that.

Blue (or were when he was a toddler and they would not have changed since then)

Do tell!
