I once saw a cucumber that

was about 2and a half metres or so in length.

But then I realised my alotment pal Jimmy had slipped some high strnegth mescal buttons into my flask. This would explain it.


you can't do this

unless you are on 999 or 9999 posts

THEMS THE RULES, SEE?


what is

the meaning of life?


This is quite often asked.

The meaning of life to every person is different, it is a deep and emotional subject, and it is one I am sure you are not ready for.

So ask me a question about matchbox toy cars or different kinds of vegetables please. Lets keep it friendly.


If you placed a Matchbox toy car and a cabbage on the top of a hill

and let both roll down at their own speed.

Which would hit the bottom first?


It depends on the central fugal force.

If the model was, say, a 1965 Astin Martin DB5, the the CFF would take it down the hill faster than a standard cabbage. But if you were to use a romaine lettuce, or a baby gem that had been grown in my yard, if I were you I'd have some money on it.


have you ever

stuck a cucumber up your bumb?


Ouch!

*thats not what I said at the time. Thats what I said when I read your comeback!


A Turnip

or a raddish. Anything a pig eats basically.


Why do Sainsburys

only appear to sell Butternut Squash and not other types of Squash (please don't make a diluted drink gag)


Jamie Oliver is at the root of this problem.

Little Lord Jamie has got it inot his stupid barnet that we are only to sell Butternut Squash. I've had it up to my buttered nuts with this subject. You heard the last of it!!


*havent


i agree

that was a good effort


I dont do diluted drinks gags

but if I did, they would probably be the best diluted drinks gags in the world.


how many matchbox toy cars

do you think you could fit inside a hollowed out marrow?


I have tried this

I used the Micro Machines Armoured range - slight deviation from the spec, but I wrote the spec.

Anyway, the answer was about 4 and a half of those packs that you could buy, with 4 cars in each.

I used the marrow to make a face pack for my wife.


coincidentally

my son has asked me to help him make a multi story car park for his dinky cars this weekend. I was thinking along the lines of a either scooping out a giant pumpkin and making the ramps from celery sticks or terracing a ginormous turnip. what might you recommend?


Finally, a decent question.

Depends on the proposed loadings that you will be proposing to load on the Pumpkin. F'i were you I would use Rivita bread for the internal Slabs. For the column props you could use Leaks, Leaks are 'high yield' so should last a year or 2 before they rot.

Celery will make a good ramp, you may have to double up depending on what scale toy car your son has got. You can always stick 2 celery sticks together with cocktail sticks.


loading would be an issue.

i will investigate the leek columns - i think it pass ISO standards, however i am concerned on the fire resistance of the ryvita floor slabs. do you have timing calc's on failure? i presume they will only need a an hour, as long as the main stair core has about 4.

appreciate prompt reply, need to tender for the veg stock this afternoon and get it delivered by the morning.


Which would you rather sleep with?

a) A pound of sprouts
b) The 80's Matchbox B-line Disaster


Wid thang

You work in Architectural finishes as well then?
