On a hat with straws and 2 holders on the side for beer cans: Do not use with hot, fizzy, or alcoholic beverages.
So that gets rid of just about everything you'd ever use it with.

There was a thing a few years ago, where the council spend god-knows how much money on a footbridge over a canal, but didn't make it strong enough to support people, with the result that there is now a bridge that boats can't get under that can't actually be used or it'll fall down.

How about this, appro. 8 weeks ago I asked to be signed up for something. I asked again after three weeks, but when I pop back, it appears that I have once again been ignored.
I designed a pendent which bore no resemblence from the flower which inspired it. My tutor tells me that because the inspiration is from a flower, it has to be traditional! *Grumble, moan, hmmph*

Look, I know I haven't updated anything recently. I first beg your forgiveness and ask that you please be patient with me. I haven't had much time as of late what with my job and things. But you will get up, really. And if you really feel like arguing, I direct your attention to the sentence containing the word "eventually" on the main I.C.A.R.U.S. page.
