I'm afraid that isn't the case, willies and the clematis have erectile tissue, nipples do not. They do appear to be bigger due to the contraction of the smooth muscle tissue (areola).
Is that why some women call it their flower?
calling it that also causes a smile and a giggle in times of a little awkwardness.

Following on from the aerodynamics talk above, i was watching some YouTube vids last night on Thrust 2. At one point Richard Noble stated that he was within 5mph of Thrust 2 taking off. Which got me to thinking, where does Thrust 2 get its downforce from?
I think it's from ground effect - i.e. smoothing/shaping of the bottom of it and the Venturi effect.
k knows what to do with apostrophe ) today are under investigation from Operation Yew Tree? Posted this elsewhere a few weeks back but thought I'd give it an airing here.
Let's say Im in the market for a new Rolex, Nikon and a MontBlanc Pen. Total cost around £5k.
Duty Free would see the 20% VAT knocked off so saving £1k.
So, I book myself onto the cheapest non EU flight going. Go to the airport, check in, go through security and buy the stuff. Then, "accidentally" miss my flight and decide to abandon my trip and go home. Would I be obliged to pay the VAT on leaving the airport?
If yes, then what if I were to travel on the flight, go through passport control, then immediately come back. Would I have to pay VAT on the goods when I get back?
If yes, why did they sell me the stuff Duty Free in the first place?

Just FT with our daughter who lives in the states.
Both her and our granddaughter who is 7, use what seems to be an American thingy, when speaking they twiddle their fingers to emphasise a word, like putting " either side of a writen word.
Example, if you say "We drove down the road"
They say "We drive "down" the road"
What does it mean, either way you still drove down the road.

It means they're continuing to bastardise our language and add idiotic things which don't need to be there.Both her and our granddaughter who is 7, use what seems to be an American thingy, when speaking they twiddle their fingers to emphasise a word, like putting " either side of a writen word.

People facing execution just seem to go along with it for the most part. Should I ever be in that position I picture myself fighting every step of the way. I'd be overpowered for sure but at least I would have done everything I could. But maybe when death is inevitable they just want to get it over with with as little fuss as possible?

Coming back via Gatwick I can claim all the vat back on my purchases at customs. The customs guys told me that the items must not enter the UK for a certain period of time and if they do I would have to pay VAT on them.Let's say Im in the market for a new Rolex, Nikon and a MontBlanc Pen.

We had a recent case where a bloke would book the lowest possible fair trip and the way our airport is designed you go through to the gate area and merge with passengers returning. He was buying shed loads of cigarettes duty free and walking straight back out again.
