Later came the 'blue beads of bleach' in one of the brands of laundry powder.

Also the reason belly button fluff is blue.

More trivia.............. belly button fluff migrates upwards from underwear via a hairy lower abdomen. Shave it off and no more blue fluff.

One wonders if they have considered moving Everest instead ,it might be easier. Maybe to the Sahara for instance, or even the Nullabor Plain. There would be some excellent views looking over Perth.

Moving it to the Nullabor Des? I thought the Flat 'treeless' bit was the point mate [biggrin]

There is a cathedral made from cardboard in Christchurch NZ, the original was damaged in the earthquake/s Christchurch Cathedral : New Zealand (cardboardcathedral.org.nz)

Only as a bit of Landscaping, no more. A few rocks scattered here & there, a bit of Sturts Desert Pea for some colour, easy done.


If one moved it to the Grampians it would lose it's features & simply blend in with all the other Peaks & Valleys.

"One worker in Japan could be nursing a protracted hangover after he lost a USB memory stick following a night out with colleagues. Why? It contained the personal details of nearly half a million people.


The unnamed man placed the memory stick in his bag before an evening of drinking in the city of Amagasaki, north-west of Osaka.


He spent several hours drinking in a local restaurant before eventually passing out on the the street, local media reported.


When he eventually came around, he realised that both his bag and the memory stick were missing."

From the BBC

I had heard once that an apology in Japan is a serious matter. If the drunk sorry sod has to bow and say "Gomen" (sorry) to 500,000 people will he be very very fit? [biggrin]

If only he'd been a bit further left, he'd only have to say solly to the Wings and the Wongs. [wink11]
