Every day is a schoolday! I thought it was because they showed 2,then 4,then 6 ,then 8 engines on screen!
But how do you get a 0-2-0 engine?
You can't, minimum is 0-4-0
smile
You could also have 2-2-0 or 0-2-2; the point being a 0-2-0 would be a seesaw rather than an engine. hehe

Being a doctor I'm sure she meant that a bit tongue in cheek.
She didn't! Took two of us and a lot of googling to persuade her!
At grave risk of an auto-whoosh parrot, persuade her of what? Penicillin and a variety of other pharmaceuticals are derived from mold/fungus/whatever. Fleming discovered it because the stuff blew in through a window and landed in his petri dish. What am I missing?

Mrs was explaining how a friend's husband was no longer getting expenses for his commute from Surrey to Warsaw, a drive that he was having to do a couple of times a week...?

...Ah, that'll be Walsall then.

Doing some gardening earlier when the wife asks 'when I find an empty snail shell is it dead or has it just popped out for a bit?'

Have to say I laughed for a while

Mine was similar. I couldn't find my phone when she was going for a job interview but I found it while she was out.

"The interview went really well!"
"I'm glad! You sound really happy."
"I am! Anyway, have you found your phone yet?"
"Well, I've just answered it."

When my wife was a child she was at a play area waiting for a go on the slide when two kids in front, a brother and sister, start pushing and shoving to get on first.

Angry Mum shouts across the play area at boy not to push past her.

My now wife reportedly returns to her parents looking concerned saying 'that little girl's name is pasta'.

She has never denied it and it's often repeated so it must be true.

I am living in a house share and one lass is a fairly recently graduated doctor. Another house mate has a habit of not doing his washing up until it's furry and green. We were discussing this when she came out with:

"I wouldn't worry - mould is just penicillin anyway".

I'm not exactly super brainy, in fact I was pretty much bottom of the pile when the brains were handed out, but wow.
I've just moved into a new houseshare, we we're all watching the fight on the weekend and one of the Housemates other halves starting talking about this special water with oxygen in it.

There was much piss taking.

Moved into temporary flat while househunting and I was trying to get the heating working. An hour setting it up I checked the radiators to find them all cold. Went back to thermostat which I had set at 20 deg to find it at its lowest setting.
Me:,did you turn the thermostat down?
Her: yes,the heating wasn't coming on any way.confused

Home laser printer reports 'cyan low - replace soon'. I said I would get some toner. Wife responds: "I thought laser printers just lasered the colour onto the page". I put Britains Got Talent on for her and she was happy.

GF asked me this the other night, "Who's that guy we went to see last year?"
Me "What sort of guy?"
Her "The comedian at the Waterfront" (Waterfront is a local venue)
Her "Not the one from 8 out of 10 Cats"
Me, looking confused.
Her "Not Jon Richardson."
Me "Oh, you mean Jimmy Carr then."
Her "Yes, that's him"
Me "WTF????"

The mould is of the Genus Penicillium. There is more than one member.

My missus was proper confused why David Cameron was allowed to vote, couldn't get her pretty little head round it at all.
