    Have you seen the one where distinguishing who has a male/female brain actually isn't by obvious "gender", but is determined by finger length? :whistle:
    For example, taking your user name into account, suggests that your gender is "male" but, that does not automatically mean that your brain is male ;)
    Just saying! :whistle:

          Answers to questions are different for us all. :) I'm very thorough in everything I do so it follows that my answers to questions will be thorough. :biggrin: I've noticed in the past that some questions particularly from new gardeners have been answered very briefly leaving the gardener to read between the lines. This on occasion has been dangerous, especially when it comes to using chemicals in the garden. I think the whole picture should be given so that the gardener understands where things may go wrong and can then make their own, hopefully right choices.

          As for the banter, I don't think I've come across a gardener without a sense of humour and I can't imagine GC without it, can you? :biggrin:

            So true. my husband could be on the phone to someone, a business thing. and I could put a note infront of him about something, he can't just nod an answer to the question and talk at the same time.

              Just be careful, it might end, like Pop Inn did. that was some good banter and humour.

                We do have an alternative that many seem to like. Its called "Willys." I kid you not.

                Question for the ones from Scotland. Years ago, in the town of Nairn, there used to be a public toilet. One one door were the letters "SD" and on the other "DD." I was told which was which, but never what the letters meant. Anyone know?

                As this thread is about questions and replies, its not really off topic, is it? :whistle::heehee:

                    I once watched a tv documentary on Dads Army. It suggested that Hugh Laurie considered himself a serious actor. It further more suggested that he considered Dads Army a load of old rubbish.

                    I thought toilets in Scotland were labelled Ladies and Laddies.

                      Don't want to appear a know it all but his name was John Laurie and indeed he was a serious actor playing many Shakespearean parts. He also played scary characters really well. As a child he'd give me nightmares with some of the parts he played. He probably did think Dad's Army was a load of old rubbish which of course it was but hilarious at the same time:). My mother always said it was a bit near the truth having had a branch of the home guard doing their thing in a scouts hut next door to where she lived:rolleyespink:

                          Grew up thinking dad's army was a load of unfunny rubbish. Now I love its innocence, its pure fun and the wonderful characters :)
