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!

    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
