      <description><![CDATA[It's simple, Simon (okay, I bet you've heard that joke before, but I haven't had a chance to type it so you can suffer). The tube thing works like this....

The last train back to my town leaves Paddington at some ridiculously early time, but not so early that I couldn't have one drink too many. Having left the wrong way out of the tube station, I couldn't find Paddington Station. (Yes, I know. Huge shed, full of trains, signposted for miles around, big tracks with trains on leading to it...) This meant I had to catch a later train and get off at Oxford. With no train back up to Evesham until the next morning.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[That's nasty. Have you ever heard of a species of parasitic fish called the Candiru, which lives somewhere in South America? Its normal prey is larger fish, but it will also attack mammals including humans... If a person urinates whilst standing or swimming in water where this fish lives there's a risk of it following the urine back through the water to the person and crawling into their urethra, where it then erects backward-pointing spines so that it can't be pulled or flushed out while feeding!]]></description>

Similarly with 'Don't hit your dada', which usually results in a (small, but hard) hand in my mush.

Ahh, bless 'im.]]></description>

Actually it wasn't. although I've never been charged with anything, so I figure it can't have been that bad. Although my Polish wasn't really up to working out why I'd been arrested the first time]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It's because humans cannot calculate anegative first - if you say 'Don't click this' then your mind reads it as 'click this' - the action - and then 'don't'. You can't negate it, without having thought about the action first. Therefore you do the opposite.

 As a test, I want you all to try not to imagine orange dodos.]]></description>

I have managed to avoid clicking on any links though.

It's odd though. I was there when eddie popped out, saw the whole thing and didn't feel even remotely faint. Cut my own finger though, and I'm out for the count.]]></description>

&quot;The Great Spaghetti Incident&quot; was only fun with like minded people, much to my surprise. Only 2 out of 3, oooooops!
Things so often are not fun, or not legal, or no like-minded people can be found..............



I blame the aliens.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Er, does this mean we're not legal, or we're not fun? Neither particularly appeals. Although having been arrested twice whilst having fun, maybe the first of these isn't so bad...]]></description>

The fforum is the nearest I get to having legal  fun with like-minded folk since the Great Spaggetti Incident. Which turned out not to be either, eventually.
