I like that - but I've just put the sewing machine away so I could go online (my computer sits on the machine's table so they're mutually exclusive - though I could use one of the others) - perhaps next time.

Feeding the meter isn't allowed in most UK parking schemes. You pay at the outset and can't top up.

Can't bear wings.

If it's tentative starts you want - try this...

Safe for work, provided you don't have rules about too many people standing round one PC cheering the little guy.

The two people with the horse carrying firewood - the horse appears to have its shoes tied on.

When we used to drive round France in the late 60s early 70s Dad used to sit me down with a map the night before and tell me our objective for the next day - and I had to get us there. He taught me how to orient the map and how to make route cards, but if I told him a wrong turn he'd take it and just keep going until I noticed we weren't hitting villages in the right order and then I had to fix it on the fly.

Sometimes if the kids have been good we let them spend a fiver each there. You can get a lot of fascinating bits for a fiver.

Not sure that's one of only two rotary weavers in the world - there's one from the 19th century in Manchester's museum of science and technology.

Perhaps it's one of only two of that make.

"Are we nearly there yet?"

We put a stack of 10p coins on the dashboard. Every time the kids are annoying on a long journey we take one away. Whatever's left at the end they split between them. It rarely amounts to more than a pound, but when they see "their" money vanishing they suddenly stop poking each other.

That really was the biggest load of dingo's kidneys.

As Slartibartfast might have said..."You can't go scribbling on high art."

It looks like something Dr Seuss would have drawn.

BikerRay - damn - beat me to it! Pet food doesn't create its own exclusive carbon burden as it's often byproducts of other streams - byproducts which would otherwise have to be disposed of elsewhere.

It's the same technique that's been used for interior doors for many decades.
