    It means Walrusses computer keyboard doesn't work properly. The i the s and the d don't work.

    Am I really cursed to be a septic for the rest of my life, mispronouncing every word in the English language and driving on the wrong side of the road.

    God save me.

    Shouldn't be a problem from what I remember of Aus you drive in the middle of the Road anyway!

    charlie If I knew mate I wouldn't have printed it! Guess I'd had a couple more than a 'glass of red, before bed' as Poida puts it (more half a bottle of 'batshit' and coke - the old 'cubalibre' as my old carib friends used to call it - still do - helps you sleep! cant talk but hell do you sleep! wake up in some strange places too)

    the bulldozer is rusted now and has seaweed, but when you drove it into the water (yeah I know just for experimental purposes) and hung it from the boat the same amount of water is displaced but the boat is a bit higher.

    I did a practical experiment to verify the mercury problem.
    I made chicken soup with beans, and ate the chicken, and some of the beans seemed to float with a bit of them into the chicken fat. Don't think they would stick out of the water without the fat. Should I have tossed the floating beans?

    Sigurd - I thought I spake poo but hell man that beats me! why only some of the beans - surely all or none otherwise you may have had different beans, sure they were all the same kind of beans?

    They were all the same kind of brownish beans, came out of the same bag anyhow.

    My Under-gardener (cousin of my footman and nephew of the butler) suggests that beans/peas which float would prove infertile if planted. So he suggests you eat them all up as they would prove impractical to plant.

    Now, here's a brainteaser:
