(Hi Emmily,,

For a moment could n't remember whether it's two 'm''s or 2 'l''s YOU HAVE IN YOUR NAME, BUT i Think I've got it right. (Sorry for shouting. Unintentional and can't be bothered to backtrack).

Wondered what you're doing online at this time o' night? I've just got back from a social evening from a scientific society I belong to. Had a talk about inter-relationship between science and religion from a person who used to be a Dept Head in chemistry research but left to take Holy Orders. It was fascinating, if a bit formal (he gave a formal lecture). However we had an excellent turnout - 51 people, including one of my old lecturers who I haven't seen since 1978.

Had quite a long drive back and am now relaxing with a cup of .
Won't be long before I turn in.

Hiya BigAl, doesn't really matter whether you spell my name with one of 2 'm's I get is spelt all sorts of ways.

Why a I up at this time? I'm dreading going to bed. I think that needs a bit of explaining

I appear to have pulled a muscle in my stomach. For the last 3 or 4 days, it's just been a dull ache during the day, but when I lie down, it gets much, much worse, so painfull, I almost can't move. I can't sit up all night, so I'll have to face it at some point.

I found another conversation that might give you a laugh. I'll post you link for it soon.

Enjoy your I think I'll go make myself a cuppa too.

Hi Emmily, Finished my coffee, so I'll turn in to bed. Look forward to reading your link when you post it. Hope your stomach is better soon

Here's the link...http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F19585?thread=292810&skip=0&show=20 It gets better on the second page I'm about to add to it, bring it back to the front page of <./>askh2g2 Emmily

I stayed up til about 3am then it was either, go to bed, or get the matchsticks out and my stomach was fine, bloody typical.

I had intended to add some more Bloke Jokes to that thread, but I couldn't find my recent 'Bloke Jokes 3' book, finally found it yesterday.

Not many good ones in there, I think they're running out of ideas. I only use the ones that make me or . not the ones that make me cringe.

Hi Emily,

Ref "In 1990, there were about 15,000 vacuum cleaner-related accidents in the US".

Thought I'd rtepluy here than to the 'Uselss Facts' thread. Did you notice the comment I posted somewhere recently about 'injuries caused to MEN (specifically) with vacuum cleaners . There was anb article published either in the British Medical Journal or the Lancet about this.

I may have posted it in the 'Male Masturbation' thread!

I did wonder as I was reading that from the book, how many of those accidents involved men, that were not using the cacuum cleaner for cleaning.

No, not read the Post you mentioned, I'll take a look later.

Actually, I didn't say any more in that thread than I've told you here.

One of the stories concerned a man who visited his GP with severe lacerations to his penis. His story was that he was vacuuming the stairs wearing only his dressing gown when his penis was sucked into the vacuum cleaner

Another one concerned a railway signalman who said he was vacuuming his signal box anbd his fly must have been open when.....

(On another occasion there were also some stories of the strange things doctors have had to extract from peoples a***s; including the excuses for how they got there These include a 100W electric light bulb. There was also a story concerning a man who had an electric vibrator shoot right up his a**e into the colon, which took a deal of surgury to excavate!. The phrase in the Journal was something like, ...."burrowed North like an E-type mole..."

I just looked for that post, and couldn't find it.

The strange things that 'you lot' will try for pleasure, you wouldn't catch us females doing anything like that

I have to log off now my son wants to come on pc. kids!
