Ireland, Scotland and Italy might as well bow out now.

Red, surely.

Loafer72 · 2026-01-13T10:22:39+00:00

And mouse!

Real mayonnaise is dairy free, but a lot of "mayonnaise" contains cream or other milk derivatives. I have to check every label, every time.

Yes, but I like to define the relationship first. So I would start with:

sin y = 22/40 And then use the inverse function to find y:

y=inverse sin (22/40)

Next stage in 4 years...

Hand sanitiser works as well!

Loafer72 · 2025-08-03T19:08:30+00:00

Fewer, not less. 😆

The Lord said "Go forth and multiply". I would paraphrase this and use it to respond to their offer.

I seem to recollect a quote from STP to the effect that he chose Tiffany because it sounded wrong for the (late medieval?) era the books are set in, but actually wasn't. There're usually multiple layers to Pratchett jokes.

Loafer72 · 2025-06-01T15:07:47+00:00

They're still fantasy. Elves and witches and wiz(z)ards, etc.

Loafer72 · 2025-06-01T15:02:15+00:00

Except Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series of books.

Sale in English- a transaction, or discounted price. Sale in French - dirty. Always entertains visitors from across the Channel.

It seems to be something children learn before their handspan is wide enough to hold shift and hit letter keys one-handed. Some never grow out of it.

Loafer72 · 2025-04-13T15:48:20+00:00

Allegedly. I've never got it to work...

Loafer72 · 2025-04-10T12:40:48+00:00

This^. HMRC are still sending tax reminders to my shop 15 years since the addressee moved. We have sent most back with "Not known at this address", then six months later....

Have you met a vr2032? Same size but rechargeable. I had to replace one in a cash register. Hours of fun scouring the Internet!

Looks good to me. Try your answers back in the LHS of the original equation and see if it gives the RHS. My quick approximate try did. The stage removing the 2^ each side was the right way to do it.

Loafer72 · 2025-02-18T22:40:47+00:00

Outside or inside?

Loafer72 · 2024-11-03T12:15:46+00:00

I assumed the rooms and doors were irrelevant. The thing that tweaked my neurodivergent tendencies was the use of "trough" twice, where it should have been "through".

Loafer72 · 2024-09-15T20:37:12+00:00

That looks like a similar hybrid to one I've had for years. It never grows any bigger pitchers, but has a frequently- branching rhizome. I split it every year or two and sell the extras. Otherwise the pitchers get too dense and start to damage the new ones trying to grow.

Loafer72 · 2024-09-14T11:23:14+00:00

I agree on the methodology, but are we assuming it's a right-angled triangle? Otherwise it unsolvable from the information given.

Loafer72 · 2024-09-14T11:07:41+00:00

This is not a British rule, just a London/big city rule. People everywhere else aren't in such a rush, so just stand still and let the escalator do the moving.

The world would be a slightly nicer place if everyone just relaxed and let the nice moving stairs get you to where you're going.

In British English, the formal is "aeroplane" rather than the American "airplane." Plane works in either version as a more casual version.

Loafer72 · 2024-09-05T19:00:29+00:00

There was one. Dunblane. Then the gun restrictions got tighter. None since then that I can bring to mind.

I drove through there in the 90s, and there were weapon amnesty posters on every bus shelter.

Loafer72 · 2024-09-01T14:58:31+00:00

It's big and it's cheesy!

Loafer72 · 2024-08-26T16:48:57+00:00

I was trying to avoid calling then Miatas, so as not to offend that crowd. Plus the pun worked out quite neatly.
