"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message k... The message from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words: [*] As many authors have pointed out, the inside of ancient and well-cluttered storage units, such as sheds and wardrobes, tends to attach itself to other universes. Nobody knows why. This is why things disappear and strange things appear in such units, and accounts for the postings on uk.rec.sheds.

Please explain then, why i can never find a teaspoon? I don't take sugar in tea, cocoa, etc (and don't drink coughy) and use very little in anything else. (Except when I'm winemolishing, in which case I tend to hfr a shovel.) ISTM that you can't find a teaspoon because you don't have any. -- Roger Hunt |

In article , says... Sorry - I have been plagued with red bridal satin today. Is that a devilishly original bride, or togs for some other member of the party? Five bridesmaids. Rather too many for my tastes, but not as bad as the 16 I did for a weeding last summer. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

The message
from martin contains these words: On 23 Aug 2005 12:55:39 GMT, (Nick Maclaren) wrote: Actually, I use the terms 'paraffin' and 'kerosene' as synonyms. Both are abbreviations (for p. oil and k. oil) and the use of paraffin in that sense predates the use of kerosene (by only a few years, true). I've got a Taylor Paraffin boat stove. The embossed brass plate on it claims it is a "parrafin" stove. The original manufacturer denied it was a typo. Then the original manufacturer was wrong. Paraffin is a contraction of 'parum affinis' (little affinity) - little affinity, IIRC, with oil, and applied originally just to the wax, but when other fractions of the wax were made/discovered, this was applied to the whole chemical group. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Also sprach Jaques d'Alltrades :
The message from (Richard Bos) contains these words: It also explains why the transitional imago stage between the embyryonic paperclip and the adult coathanger is never seen - it occurs in another fold. Ontological evidence suggests the "missing" stage looks like a teaspoon, which accounts for where all the teaspoons go. No, we already know where teaspoons go. They migrate to cupboards belonging to people like me, who don't take sugar in their tea. Please explain then, why i can never find a teaspoon? I don't take sugar in tea, cocoa, etc (and don't drink coughy) and use very little in anything else. (Except when I'm winemolishing, in which case I tend to hfr a shovel.)

IGMC, its the grey raincoat (as if you needed to ask) Raincoats might have been appropriate. Weeding was Friday 13 August (not West) last year. rained so hard I thought the duks were gonna move into me hat brim... Tipped me head sideways when it got heavy, and a coupla litres of water spilled out! I were galad I were wearing sandals: the water just sloshed straight out of them. There are some pix of the making on me wibble. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
