Fear not feat.

Fwink is a lovely word don't you fwink?

PS all these multiple posts ....I'm turning into JO

Yes, another totally useless piece of knowledge.

Trouble is its so easy to google things these days who can tell if we're being honest?

Is that feat of the number 13?

Hands off elegran in the words of my 2 year-old GS 'S'MINE SO THERE

Yes Jeni it's the newt or larval stage of the salamander which can actually reproduce at this stage without reaching maturity.

Mine was called Aristotle the Axolotl.

gracesmum well spotted.

Sorry in a giddy mood tonight on holiday for two weeks.

Oh yes, of course - but what about Elegran's award?

Moi.

Who?

Oh dear. Slapped wrist for not reading properly

I thought I'd seen reference to TB before.....

Jodi is not entitled to that Geek of the Week award. I answered it even before it was asked , on Wed 05-Dec-12 at 18:34:35. That takes some doing.

Hand it over Jodi S'mine!

Sorry jeni I did mean jodi - brain tired

Yes you should jeni . Greeks to blame again I guess? Rather than geeks.
Well done jodi for being the first with the correct answer. Here is your prize: [fbiscuit] It is a box of your favourite kind of course.
Sorry for the delay in awarding it. I popped down to London to visit relative on the very convenient Southern Train.
anno love it. Instead of sardines they had tins of canaries did they? Bit feathery though. Did she have any idea what a the title of the book referred to I wonder? [unseasonal hmm]
Sad really - there used to be huge flocks of canaries flying ashore in Monterey in those days and the population just plummeted for some unaccountable reason and all the canary tinning factories closed down.
Gracesmum - it would be a long count down from the 400 million that I seem to remember are contained in the average serving. However fast sperm can count. Or not.
I like average serving don't you. Deliberated for a few moments and it just spontaneously erupted from my finger tips. The word I mean.
OK that's me done being festive and jolly for another few days [fphew]

Sorry triskaidekaphobia!

His favourite is tristaidekaphobia

Just googled it. I was right! This is worrying, I'm getting as bad as my son for collecting odd words!

Me or Jodi.

Or is it a femininst satement, jeni, "sperm don't count"??

Are they a sort of salamander?

Are you issuing a challenge to my Geek of the Week award jeni?

Yes, you ought to know it, but I bet I know more about axolotls

I did know phthisis actually. But then I suppose I ought to?

Don't be silly grace sperm can't count

Love trying out these emoticons [fbiscuit]

Sorry rambling.....
