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.

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
