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

I actually believe my mum and dad will live forever.

And if they don't, I'll be devastated.

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

People believe that Soap Characters are real people.

.. Bit like the way people think that The Fox and myself are the same person..

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

[DulwichFox]

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.

[aquarius moon]

I didn't even know what an MP was until I was 18.

[DulwichFox]

MP.. Military Pickle.

When I was 30 my daughter was 10 I told her she 1/3rd my age and she was catching me up in age, then when she turned 20 half my age, then I turned 60 and she 40 2/3rds my age, although I think she has sussed it now
