"Liberte, equalite, fraternite". Candidates who wish to attempt more than two simultaneously should ask for extra paper. Protractors may not be used.
i.e. for protracted answers, use extra paper. Candidates are also requested to bear in mind that (a) rainforests are dwindling every day, and (b) we aren't made of paper, with the possible exception of Professor Cruntle |

Oh, is that how you do them! I'm afraid I have just gone back and rewritten history  . Set squares are forbidden to prevent candidates attempting 'triangulation' <political shudder>. |

Bet the person in front of you is the one with the Santa sack of two pence coins. Loose. And a desperately complicated stamp combination to go on the parcel that is too heavy for them to lift and while that is being sorted out you notice that there is a minature poodle gazing at your trouser leg with great interest .....
See here for my reply.  |

This is a temporary message
Discussions on poodles and Zappa have been reloacted to 'Poodle Play', 20thC Music section.
John W
Good idea (almost suggested it myself!), but replies #1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 from what is now 'Poodle Play' are genuine (and non-poodle-related) grumps and need to be moved back here, methinks. (Sorry to end a Grumpy Room message with a smiley! But this message will self-destruct in a couple of hours anyway ...) As was my reply to message 1605, t_i_n. Actually, the caption was an afterthought. It was promted by my suddenly thinking of Abbie Hoffman’s "Steal This Book", though I hasten to add that I bought my copy for the standard retail price in Virgin, Oxford Street a few years ago. I wanted to try and work out what it was that Frank and Gail Zappa would find amusing in anything written by that particular author, (being familiar only with his stuff in "The Wire" at the time). |

"Liberté, equalité, fraternité". Lack of a ´ key is one thing but George I'd be surprised if yours of all keyboards turned out to be lacking a 'g'...  |

Somebody should show Jonathan some sympathy, so I am doing. I hope you can remove the ice soon, and feel better. Falling upstairs is rather original!
Thank you Mary, it seems ok although it is badly bruised and swollen but i can drive and walk reasonably ok now! |

I think you'll find I have merely been constantly misquoted, Mr S  . (I KNEW there was something wrong with it but my brain, having alerted me to the fact, then flatly refused to explain what.) |

My laundromat just upped its charge for a basic wash by 25%.
Sounds like a job for Morticia and her awesome powers of persuasion on the telephone. However do you do it, Mort?! All tips for making officialdom back down gratefully received. Someone told me once you should stand naked when making difficult phone calls as it made you more confident. Or was it you should imagine the other person naked? I always do both just to be sure. |

I suppose it depends exactly what sort of phone calls these are, George.  |
