My dad told me that if I didn?t throw my nail clippings away a witchdoctor would make muti out of them.


He also told me that if I ate the berries off the hedge my head would swell up and eventually explode.


I?m starting to suspect he just made shit up.


Anyway what?s this, make up an arbitrary random thread day? If it is I?ve got a few.


Spines! Books or vertebrates. Whose are better?

Books generally, but if someone had A Confederacy Of Dunces and a publisher's name tattooed on his spine I'd be impressed.

I often used to clip my toenails over an large open book (eg a 1987 Times Atlas of the Word) and then tip them into the bin. However, with the best will in the world I didn't always remember to tip the toenails away, leaving a nasty surprise for visiting babysitters with an interest in Geography.


In addition, even if I did the tip the toesnails away, more often than not, one would lodge in the spine of the book and like in wait. Only last week I found a big yellow one due east to the Indian subcontinent which looked like it had been there for some time.

Urgh that reminds me about a time a couple of months ago on the number 12 bus. The man on the seat infront on me clipping his nails and dropping his clippings on the seat. I can put up with some behaviour but that was so gross I told him so. He asked what my problem was and why it was offending me! The woman across the way then stood up and told him he was revolting and eventually he stopped - so be careful no 12 bus users.


ps was his fingernails not his toenails!!

I cannot believe this thread actually has legs - that people are seriously posting on it! Get a grip. BTW, my toenail clippings fetch up on a little black towel at the Glamorous Nails joint on the parade by the station. Are you happy now I?ve divulged that snippet?

Yes indeed, there is a woman who clips her toe nails regularly on the number 3 bus also. They ping right up the through the bus, and everyone is too intimidated to ask her to stop.


I never cut my own toe nails, so I do not know how they are disposed of. I hate to think of HoonaloochieB having voodoo 'shit' done on his 'ass'. I must admit that I can't get a very strange image out of my head now...OHMYGOD!

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
