Why is it ironic in an Alanis sense that Caroline Catz from Murder In Suburbia is so named?

"What is the next letter in this sequence?
O,T,T,F,F,S,S _"

E

"And what does each letter stand for?"

Other Than This Forty Four Separate Solutions Exist.

(Your Mrs may have picked one of the others)

"Is it still ok for me to continue to fancy my girlfriend even though it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that she is a hair collecting mentalist?"

It does give her a certain mysterious charm.

"Is there a known medical condition behind the rapid and disconserting eye movent of Tanya from Footballers Wives?"

Huge piles of Gak.

"What is the most sexually depraved act performed on a regular basis between Christine and Neil Hamilton?"

Any sexual act involving Christine and Neil is by definition depraved.

"Why is it ironic in an Alanis sense that Caroline Catz from Murder In Suburbia is so named?"

She owns four dogs but no Catz.

"Huge piles of Gak"

I incorrectly assumed it was just huge piles.

I think you were getting it confused with the potential consequences suffered by Christine after said depraved sex act.

Matthew,

I have a collection of Teapots. Many of the Disney ones, made by Cardew Design, have developed glazing cracks. No other make has developed cracks.

These have never been washed, some are in the kitchen, a few are on the window ledge and some are on cabinets.

So it's not hot kitchens, cold window ledges or hot water.

Why is this and does it affect their value?

This question is driving me potty

I look forward to your wealth of knowledge.

If my fist is real, where does it go when I open my hand?

Matthew,
Who is going to win this weekend's big FA Cup tie - Sunderland or Millwall?

So why are you so intelligent ? Tell us all !

Dear Marge,
I've noticed that every 500gm box of Special-K that I buy has almost exactly 30gms of dust left in the bottom of the package once the cereal flakes are finished. The consistency of this phenomenon amazes me and causes me to question the reason for it. Kelloggs had no explanation when I queried it with them - can you help?

Matthew,

Thank you for finding time in your busy day to answer my questions. If you will permit another, I have a question that I believe has been weighing heavily on the minds of more than a few forum participants.

Which was better -- the fat -=> Mike Hanson <=- or the skinny -=> Mike Hanson <=-? *

Eagerly awaiting your answer.

Joe

* No offence, Mike. ;-)

Mat, my old chum,
It's great being as popular as a fart in a spacesuit innit ?

How do I get rid of this headache? (No it's not a hangover).

"Why is this and does it affect their value?"

A well known Swindon based novelty teapot enthusiast has developed an anti-teapot death beam that he uses to blast rival collections thus increasing the value of his own.

"If my fist is real, where does it go when I open my hand?"

Now you've got your hand open give yourself a slap for asking stupid questions.

"Who is going to win this weekend's big FA Cup tie - Sunderland or Millwall?"

Sunderland. It would be sick and wrong if Millwall made it to the FA Cup Final.

"So why are you so intelligent ?"

A combination of genetics, suportive parents and a first class education.

"can you help?"

Another request and not a question. So the answer as such is that Yes I can help but no I am not going to.

"Which was better -- the fat -=> Mike Hanson <=- or the skinny -=> Mike Hanson <=-? "

Mike is learning to cope with the excitment and new responsibilities of parenthood so its understandable that his weight might fluctuate at this time.

"It's great being as popular as a fart in a spacesuit innit ?"

So mullet boy Dev tells me.

"How do I get rid of this headache? (No it's not a hangover)"

Paretcetamol or Ibuprfen.

How long before you get fed up of this thread and start living your life ?

Joe, I think you meant the <=-Mike Hanson-=> vs. the -=>Mike Hanson<=-

None taken. This reminds me of a story. In grade ten I was in school band practice. (BTW, there were two of us in the band named "Mike".) Someone came to the door, and one of my buddies was directed by the teacher to answer it. My friend asked the fellow at the door what he wanted, and upon receiving the response, said "It's for you Mike... ummmm... Fat Mike." In reality I was merely "fatter" than the other Mike, but the nickname still stuck with my close friends.

I will admit, though, that I've been overweight my entire life... until now. It feels good to finally be "normal". BTW, here's a before and after picture (about 190 on the left and 160 on the right, although I've been as heavy as 214 in my life):



My god, that jacket was huge on me, even when I was "fat". Coincidentally, it just went into the Sally-Ann a couple of months ago.

-=> Mike Hanson <=-

That's better.

Your head's much more in proportion.

Question for MR

Why are psychic fairs advertised?

P

Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?

Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop?

Why is a crappy jpg being used on the FAQ site header when a better looking and quicker loading gif would be better?

Sean (not Fritz - e's left)

"How long before you get fed up of this thread and start living your life ?"

As long as there are people who spend their Saturday nights reading internet hi-fi forums and asking me questions.

"Why are psychic fairs advertised?"

So that normal people don't go by accident and thus be exposed to weirdos.

"Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop?"

That is covered in the Secret World Government FAQ

The identity of the first person to put bop in bop-shoo-bop-da-bop is lost in the mists of early human history. However, until the development of commercially generated electricity, including bop in bop-shoo-bop-da-bop was prohibitively expensive. In 1913, famed inventor Nikola Tesla filed a patent for a process to bop bop-shoo-bop-da-bop through electroplating. Thanks to Tesla, millions of people throughout the world have enjoyed cheap and plentiful bop

"Why is a crappy jpg being used on the FAQ site header when a better looking and quicker loading gif would be better?"

Because JPGs are better for graphics containing photographic images (the picture of the HiCap) and it's only a tiny 11k image and a GIF would likely be about the same.

OK I shall rename this thread as "Thread to Get Answers Unless They Relate To Image Formats in Which Case You Might Want to Ask Sean"

Can Matthew the great (or others of greatness) tell me how it comes to pass that after cleaning my teeth with my Braun electric toothbrush (my Sonicare crapped out and I can't get a new one) and thoroughly rinsing both the head and shaft (no head/shaft related puns please) under copious running water and drying vigorously with luxury towel, after 2 weeks a thick sludge of toothpaste has developed on and around the charger bayonet ?

So which did come first, the chicken or the egg?

What does the phrase "waste not, want not" mean? Surely "waste not" means to value it, in which case you would keep it?

"I had a question but after reading four pages of this drivel I've forgotten what it was. What was I going to ask?"

Your question was "Am I stupid enough to keep reading something I am not enjoying and then further compound the problem and further waste my time by asking another question?"

"tell me how [...] after 2 weeks a thick sludge of toothpaste has developed on and around the charger bayonet"

Design flaw through typical shoddy German engineering.

"So which did come first, the chicken or the egg?"

If you believe in Natural Selection and the Theory of Evolution then the egg -- it was laid by something not quite a chicken and a random mutation led to the very first actual Chicken.

If you believe in Creationism then the Chicken.

"What does the phrase "waste not, want not" mean? Surely "waste not" means to value it, in which case you would keep it?"

"Waste not" means "Don't waste".
