Tell that to the dead one lying on the side of the kerb,  that I saw when walking to the shops this afternoon.

This something that I've always wondered, why you so rarely see dead birds and when you do, it's usually obviously because of an accident or being attacked by another animal.

 

You would think that some time in your life you'd see a bird just fall out of the sky, dead.

From a heart attack do you mean?  Bound to have been featured on “Ripley’s believe it or not” at some time.

Hello and commiserations, my fellow postie.

 

They can also lag terribly, or not at all, or come back with the message "sorry, we're not in right now or "you are being recorded right now".

 

If anyone has a ring doorbell and has got video footage of a postie saying direct to camera, "well, I can juggle, maybe be do a song and dance routine, tell a few jokes... What would you like?", that was me.

I still squirm at the time I was doing my best to squeeze a packet through the letter box, admittedly it was a tight fit, only for the letter box to fall to pieces in my hand. The internal bit fell inside & I was left holding the flap & the outer part. I tried my best to repair it, but to no avail. I bumped into the owner the next & owned up ( I was tempted to say it happened on my day off). Good job I didn't, he said " I know it was you, we watched it on camera". Needless to say I now check before I start ramming packets through the box.

The World Health Organisation advise against using fans at temperatures above 35°C.

 

This is because fans work by blowing away warm air around your body that is already close to body temperature and replacing it with cooler air, helping your body to lose heat.

 

If the air blowing into you is almost as hot or hotter than your body it could actually increase your body temperature.

Science.

 

You know it makes sense!

They did and it does, because it's not really nice to see what smallpox, polio, measles, tetanus or rabies, to speak for only a few, does to a human being.

Alfie Allen is Lily Allen's brother and therefore of course Keith Allen's son.

If you ever watched the Harry Enfield show back in the day, and saw the sketch with the two little kids (brother and sister), where the brother did horrible stuff and blamed it on his sister.... Well that was based on Alfie and Lily Allen. Harry was friends with Keith and used his kids as an influence for that sketch.

So there's no point in swerving to hit the feckers, then?

 

Damn!

 

They've infested our guttering, the patio, the conservatory roof and the solar panels with their shit. The constant calling noise (that isn't even attractive or tuneful) from dawn to dusk.

 

I hate the ****ing things.

 

I mean, HATE!!!!!

Tend to agree. Heard somebody say their silly call translates as I know I'm boring. I enjoy all the birds in the garden bar pigeons

My daughter (11) was talking about her baby hair (she's getting her hair cut tomorrow). I said, there's no such thing, she must be thinking of baby teeth. My wife than tells me your baby hair is a thing that everyone (with hair) has.

 

I have genuinely never heard of this.

 

I'm 43

I found out today that when a puppies penis won't retract, you can re-sheath by using a cold compress. :blush:

 

I mean, when I was working, I once had to ease a guys foreskin back that had become tight and constrictive behind his bell end and was restricting circulation and I thought that was quite an odd experience but, sliding a dogs knot and shaft back in... never something I ever thought I'd need to do.

 

But then neither was loosening a tight foreskin with tweezers and some lube.

 

I had some some pretty unique experiences during my career., lol

I had a mate who was stung by a wasp on his bell end. I’ve never seen anyone get their trousers and pants off that quick. Swelled up quite a bit as well.

Swelled up you say? Interesting...

Wasn't a wasp, but I did get stung by a bee once...

Why was he trying to shag a wasp?

I bet that gave him a buzz. Cheaper than over-the-counter Viagra, too. We need to attract venture capitalists into this sort of innovative erectile dysfunction treatment.
