^^^^^ I need to lie down.
Fair enough!Last go:
You've got 5 apples.
Then I take away 5 of them. So, now you have none.
Then I feel bad, so I say, "sorry Blib, I am going to do the opposite of what I just did."
So I give you 5 back.
Doing the opposite of taking away is adding.
How do you like them apples?

Bra sizes?? A double D is bigger than a D, double E is bigger than E etc. But double A is smaller than an A.
And I've never heard of double B or double C.
How's it work.
The stuff I know...And I've never heard of double B or double C.
How's it work.
"B" and "C" are (or at least, were) "normal".
"D" is bigger than "C". Then double the letters for "even bigger". Same with E, F etc.
"B" is smaller than "C". Then double the letters for "even smaller". Same with A.
There is no double "B" or "C" as that would mean "even more normal".
I've no idea why I know this.

How come plaster saws don't cut the skin?
Because skin is elastic, and can move a little. The saw blade can cut the (much stiffer) plaster while moving less than this, so while the skin gets wiggled back and forth a bit, it doesn't move relative to the blade and thus doesn't get cut.Willy Nilly said:
once in a while summat happens like that comet in Russia and that plane yesterday, that gets caught on a dash cam or some such and all of a sudden the footage is all over the media, so how much would the footage make for the person that owns the dash cam or whatever it was taken on?
It depends if the person has a syndication agreement. If you submit it directly to the bbc then they sell it on then nothing (bbc t and cs are horrid any they become the owners). If on the other hand, you went to a press agency and signed an agreement for world wide syndication then the anything is possible. I was on 60% of what it sold for with my stuff if it sold.Slashmb said:
The M25.
How much longer is the clockwise LH lane than the anticlockwise LH lane?
Surprisingly little as the distance (increase in diameter between inner and outer lanes is small compared to the diameter overall). How much longer is the clockwise LH lane than the anticlockwise LH lane?
Therefore for worst case lane one for both the distance would be 2(3.5mx4) + say 4m for central res. so 18meters roughly between lane 1 clockwise and lane 1 anticlockwise - gives 18*pie =56.5m extra for a loop in lane 1 going clockwise, if you stay in lane 3 then it's just the 4m for the central reservations gives 12.5m extra (or less) a lap.
Thus mathematically proving why people chose to sit in the outside lanes going clockwise.
