Do you mean that red and black Troop shellsuit he wears or the big Fila sweatshirt?

When I was very little I used to believe that actors who died in films would audition for the part because they didn't want to live anymore...


I also used to think the that the signs saying "HAZCHEM" was a warning in German, because it sounded more scary!

Cruel I know but when my kids were young, I told them that the ice cream man/women only played music to let the little children know they had run rout of ice cream, so not to pester then!! As I said, very cruel but with four kids, I had it relatively easy on this front as they didn't clock for many many years!! They weren't impressed when the penny dropped though!

You was not far from wrong, Actually there is no colour at all it's your Eye and brain that creates the illusion of colour

Well, there are different wavelengths of light which are 'colour', but yes, colour is how your eye/brain perceives them.

Basically White Light is invisible..


When light hits an object ? say, a banana ? the object absorbs some of the light and reflects the rest of it.


Which wavelengths are reflected or absorbed depends on the properties of the object.


For a ripe banana, wavelengths of about 570 to 580 nanometers bounce back.


These are the wavelengths of yellow light.

When I was young I asked my Dad how new MPs are picked. He told me they all go round the back of the House of Commons, then a man shouts go and the first person to put their hand up wins. I only discovered this wasn't true when I was 18.

    • That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?
    • This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4.  We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died.  They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so.  They were very kind.   He was a lovely cat, grey and white.  He must have died very quickly.  So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.
    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.
