Well, that's true... I suppose I could eat around them, I'd hate to waste the vegetables.

Yes, vegetables are good for you, as is a balanced diet and a healthy sex life.

do you think we will have severe weather in January?

lemon_and_mint;739847 wrote: do you think we will have severe weather in January?


Yes actually, we will have cold weather anyway. I work in an agri-research park, and the old farm hands are saying that the old farmers who remember the last very wet summer of 1947 also say that the subsequent winter was a freezing one. Seeing as Britain and Ireland experience the same weather in general it will be the same over there.

Then again, you can never predict the weather with complete certainty, but there is probably a grain of truth in this.

I have also heard this said, I have also heard it said that if there is severe weather in the states, we get some of it about 2-3 weeks later, but i don't know what the truth is in this.

Apparently there are also other signs which farmers can look out for like when birds arrive here for the winter which points to cold weather in january.They have been saying that all the signs are there for cold weather.

Here, it has been extremely warm for the time of year right up until about 2 days when the temperature dropped.

This is interesting. Of course predicting the weather is famously difficult past about 3 days. Long term trends usually hold true; however, because of climate change, its becoming harder to predict the weather patterns as there is a definite climate shift occurring, but it will be interesting to see if the pattern this winter is the same as the one in 47/48.

On a related subject, what is your feeling about the artic ice which may have it's summer cover totally melted within five years, in terms of flooding in the Uk and weather patterns?

Potentially catastrophic, and the way its going it looks more likely every year. However, in this advice column I refrain from putting my scientist hat on, as this advice column is all about random insults and meandering social problems.

That's what I think too, and I am rather horrified that the climate change conference has had so little coverage on the news.It is in some ways even more important than the fact that Gordon Brown missed the signing ceremony.

But as for random insults and meandering social comments, I have a personal problem you might be able to help with.

I am addicted to the internet, what should I do?

At present you should get back to work as its 2.17 pm. I shall consider your problem at my own leisure in the meantime.

I'm not at work, so my time right now is my own.That's the problem I think - I'm not allowed to surf the internet while I'm at work, so I need to overcome this problem before I go back to work in the New Year else I shall have severe withdrawal symptoms.

I see, well you will have to ballot your co-workers on their right to access their personal information via the net, once this meaningless ballot is underway you will have to write in a clause in invisible ink on the document that states that you have the right to surf the net and get paid compensation of 2.50 Euro an hour for the wear and tear on your eyeballs, once the thing gets through, reveal the invisible clause and your employer's will have no choice but to allow you to surf the internet all day. You will be the toast of the office.

Toast with peanut butter, or toast with vegemite???

mmm mmmm waving arm in air - what are your feelings regarding marmite?

AussiePam;740154 wrote: Toast with peanut butter, or toast with vegemite???


No no no, toast with butter and honey. Peanut butter is against the laws of god and man, and vegemite is an abomination.

lemon_and_mint;740155 wrote: mmm mmmm waving arm in air - what are your feelings regarding marmite?


Even worse than vegemite.

Galbally;740176 wrote: No no no, toast with butter and honey. Peanut butter is against the laws of god and man, and vegemite is an abomination.


I agree on both counts. Er... ooops... no no this thread is about insults and social meanderings - um..

LOOK Galbally - you diss vegemite you diss Aussies, of which one in three has Irish roots anyway. An Irish root?? Nar, we better not go there. On the other hand... every nine minutes. Impressive. I've always hated you - does this mean we are meant for each other???

Can they be roots if they grow up?

I think I'm going to have to go take a cold shower. This thread is so steamy, toasty warm, sexy hot and bothered. And then of course vegemite is one of the world's greatest aphrodisiacs.

Not particularly, thats interesting though. Are there a lot of honeydrippers there then? (this is all part of your pyscho evaluation you understand).

You know we have the deepest roots us Irish. Anyway, this is all becoming very casual, this is a place of advice, not a cheap clip joint for picking up loose men.

There is nothing wrong with a hot buttered potato I will have you know.

It depends on what way you are positioned I believe.

Only if you are a bacon sandwich. Yes, I definetly sense a lot of hormonal activity in the air, it must be the cold snap. Oh wait you are in Australia, I don't know what your excuse is.

Well from where I'm standing, Snooze...

And Galbers - hey Snookums, it's Chrissie! Enough to give any girl stars in her eyes. Why not pack your bag and head along over to Sinny and we can toss a shrimp or three on the barbie? I'll fix you a bacon sarnie, if you bring some good Irish bacon with you. And you can even do a St Patrick and banish the vegemite from these sunny shores.

My dear woman, I am a singing chemist type high class advice giving type person, not a saint. I suggest that instead you create a new Saint for Australia, I nominate St Stanley-Nolan of Canberra.

Yes that is true. Thats nice of you to mention. Though I may live to regret it.

I have trouble looking the toothless Salvation Army guy swinging his bell in front of the store in the eye.

Im suspicious of him.

Is this a character flaw on my part ?

I can't decide whether or not I find Simon Cowell attractive.

A new Canberra Saint, says the birthday boy!! And he doesn't suggest Saint AussiePam!!! Who has lots of claims to this fame, being pure and excellently benevolent. Oh no, hang on, I'm still alive! Saint Steve Irwin?

Er.. but where's me celestial manners...

I am quite suspicious of the fact that you may have asked me this already and that I have already given you the same answer, in fact I am having a large does of Deju Vu right now. Oh dear.

Yes, thanks for you cake, but that won't get you any special treatment, to me you are another patient. Though not one of the crazier ones.

Is that what we have Dr Galbally - just a doctor patient relationship???? Is that how you think of me??? Is that all I am to you - just another sad little hoi polloi coming to you for diagnosis, cure, reassurance, more tranks, a little understanding in this harsh world????????

Don't deny it. We were meant for each other!!! The first time I poked out my tongue, I sensed a strange togetherness! The first time you hammered my knee, our hearts beat as one, in tango time. When you stuck that thing in my ear, I knew you cared.

Alas... I am undone!!!!

(Pam does herself up again)



Should I sing an aria and then throw myself into the sea?

Should I sulk somewhere with a large box of comforting chockies??

Should I dance on your face in my sharpest, tallest stiletto heels then go off with the handsome pizza delivery guy????

:sneaky:

Dear Dr G,

It started as a sore throat, moved into my chest, seemed to go away and now I've got a head cold. Is this progression normal? It's pissing me off.

Yes of course its a strict doctor-patient relationship, and make sure thats what you tell the medical council.

My dear woman, of course I care, about what though has yet to be fully decided by a committe and I will give the results when I get them.

You should not throw yourself into the sea as that would be melodramatic, chocolates are fine, may I suggest some Leonidas chocolates from Belgium as they are very good. Any attempt to dance on my face will lead to counter-measures involving me dancing the "walls of limerick" on the bridge of your nose in my wellingtons. But lets not get to that sorry state of affairs, as I believe we should give peace a chance as we were once urged by John and Yoko in 1971.

Dear humanoid, yes that sounds fairly typical of a cold, as long as you have some paracetmol, and some vit C drinks you will probably recover, however, should any of your limbs go green and fall off then you will need to see a doctor as that may be advanced gangrene.

lemon_and_mint;741173 wrote: Why didn't Rhydian win?


Because someone else did.

Your advice is certainly wonderous and gives cause for much deep thinking.

Why is it less frightening to watch the Excorcist in the daytime than at night?

If I watch it with my fingers over my eyes does this count as watching it?
