Which hurts more, being slapped with a wet haddock or slapped with a wet cod?

Haddock feel more pain.

No no. When it comes to mushy peas or anything else 1 cyclist portion is at least 2 ordinary people's portions.

Is that due to the extra jet propulsion gained????


asking for a friend who never rides in a group

Our local chippy offers mint sauce in the mushy peas. Now that is just plain wrong. Mint sauce should be reserved to roast lamb.

Agree, although plenty of vinegar improves mushy peas imho

Speaking of which, why don't mushed up marrowfat peas taste much like mushy peas?

Once it's dropped into the sea, I guess it belongs to the Queen as the monarch owns everything twixt high and low tide.

God bless Her Majesty 👑

She'd be welcome to a pile of bricks, broken wood & glass

Another ownership question.
If a meteorite lands in your garden do you own it? Because the one that landed last week was given to the Natural History Museum.
I was wondering if the family could have made a fast buck and sold it instead?

I suspect you DO own it (just as you own any snow, hailstones or lightning that lands there).

Related question; can the panel confirm:
If space debris owned by some Foreign Power lands in your house/garden, it's still theirs, and you may not touch and/or examine it in any way.

No idea, but there's ususally a warning about hydrazine. Sounds like nasty stuff.

Where there are not specific laws governing such celestial matters, the general fallback is, rather strangely, maritime law. International law describes places that aren't within a nations boundaries as international waters, so space is in international waters . Therefore, I would suggest that it remains the property of the commies, but you have salvage rights and are entitled to a pay out if they want it back.

Here's one that puzzles me.

You have a ring, and it has writing or a symbol on it, perhaps "Mum".

Which way up do you wear it? So you as the wearer see it the correct wsy up, or so that other people see it the correct way up?

The same way as your Love / Hate hand tattoos.

Why do housebuilders fit radiators to external walls, and /or underneath windows, where the heat can escape? Do they have shares in British Gash?

When fitted opposite windows on internal walls, their circulating currents cause cold air to be sucked from the window and along the floor.
