Love it.




:D

I saw a brand of bottled water (now isn't that the biggest con of all time!) in the supermarket called "Oxygenizer".

Roughly a 700ml bottle, the front label contained minimal information but made the startling claim - "Contains 300ml of Pure Oxygen!". I am ashamed to say that I was impressed, for the two seconds that it took before it dawned on me.

I must ask, next time I'm in there - claiming an allergy - if they have any bottled water which is hydrogen-free.

Oh robert I hope you do I would love to hear the response!

MWHAHAHA!

You should sell that water on eBay.

Stilton chees must rate as my favourite ever but the rest of my family make @#$%&noises and refuse to have it in the house. I am reduced to smuggling it in but they always sniff it out. can't understand how!

Ps, lovely made into a cheese sauce, as well. Hmmm, lunch!!

Allergic to Hydrogen! That'd be so cool to watch you claim that!!! You should film it secretly...

You could also ask for water free from dihydrogen monoxide.

dehydrated water?

Yes! dehydrated water or instant water mix, just add water!
Great for countries in drought!

Stone soup, anyone?

Me please! Can i put these spuds in with your stone?

Heheh. Bottled water....

Unless it is flavoured I see little point and little enough even then....

//offers some carrots for stone soup//

<Pulls out cauldron>
Lets do this properly...

I like bottled water, because our water in town in foul. And the water purifier doesn't seem to make it taste much better.
On the other hand, my dentist told me to stop drinking bottled water (okay, and soft drink, flavoured milk, sugary liquers etc) because the fluride (sp?) is important.

Did somebody say soup?

<offers some celery for the soup>


Our tap water tastes like bleach, so I'm not drinking it unless it's gone through a phase transition first-
I get gallons of bottled water, not pints, since it's @#$%& that way-
& if I'm going to the trouble of boiling the water, I'd like to have some tea, thanks!

Now that reminds me...
<stirs soup>
... of when there was the fad of people putting plastic bottles, filled with water, on their front grassed verges. The theory went that dogs will not... er... do their business near water, so it kept your verge clear of doggy-doo.

Everywhere you went, all over town, there were nature strips cluttered with plastic bottles filled with water. I'm not sure if it worked, and if it did, I don't know if the dogs were all just standing around with pained grimaces and tightened buttocks or whether there were unbottled verges somewhere, knee-deep in turd.
<stirs soup>

It seemed to suddenly die out after about a year and you don't see it at all anymore. I've got two dogs at the moment - they stay in the backyard and don't roam - and they love to crap on the hose. I'm thinking of littering the yard with bottles of water for a week just to teach them a lesson.

I remember Madam & Eve ripped that one off with two dogs talking to each other:

Look Sparky. Those people just put plastic bottle filled with water on their lawn.

They're watching. Let's humour 'em.

GASP! PLASTIC BOTTLES!

<they run away>

Madam: See? I told you it would work.

LOL, my mum (yes, she's blonde) was utterly convinced that was true. It took YEARS for her to stop putting bottles out there! I reckon the main reason animals stayed away from her garden was because some of the water bottles started to smell pretty bad once the algae set in...

Or possibly it was the rottweiler. Or the dog-eating cat*.





*Completely true. She pulled a pit-bull's ear right off, and ate it. The dog belonged to a builder that was working across the way, and it kept coming over and snarling at my babby cat, so she attacked it.
Apparently, it refused to go with him to work after that.

Now there's another thing. Why do builders insist on taking their mongrels to work with them? They certainly don't guard the truck or anything, because they're too busy roaming all round the neighbourhood into everyone else's yard(the builders' dogs, not the builders).

I've spent a fortune on fences at my house over the years, to keep my dogs in as required by law, but if you're a chippy, it seems that your dog license says that it can roam, snarl at anything that moves and poop within three blocks of wherever the owner happens to be working.

I've never seen a sparky with a dog in tow and if the plumber is there to work on pipes, there's no dog - but if he's doing a roof and guttering, suddenly there's a bull mastiff wandering around everyone's verandahs.
