I think its a cas eof getting Aggie and kim in, or as I have done housekeeping in the past I would clean your flat up for, shallwe say a tenner an hour perhaps???

Well, I could offer my services at the going rate. £7.50  - £10 per hour, if anyone is interested.

If you're doing a lot of mucky jobs, you need a good pair of marigolds

What do you mean, 'pointless', Jonathan? Seems to me you have loads of interesting hobbies. I have none, really. Does there need to be a 'point' to knowledge beyond the pleasure in knowing and understanding stuff?

Thanks Martle; I just seem to be a bit of an autolycus (I've probably spelt that wrongly) for information that seems of little relevance to most people.  (see my comment about the "Z factor" used for correction weight/volume calculations)

I think what annoys me is that if i didn't remember all this stuff, there would be more room for useful things such as shell names and music in my brain.  I just wish the human brain was a bit more like a computer sometimes so I could delete all the useless or unpleasant things and free up the space!

Try:
del brain all retain=useful backups=5years worries=none

(oh that it were that simple!!)
