Sorry, can't help here but I do know a joke about Jam....
A man was very lonely after his wife had died and decided to get a pet to keep him company. He went to the pet shop and the owner took him around the shop to try and find the pet he wanted. The man didn't like any of them until the pet shop owner showed him a hamster. The pet shop owner said "This is a special hamster when it dies you can make really good raspberry jam out of it."
So the man thought this sounded good and bought the hamster. The next day the hamster died. The man was annoyed, but he remembered the pet shop owner comment, so he decided to make raspberry jam out of it. The next morning he ate the jam with his toast for breakfast. It tasted so horrible that he spat it out of the window, then threw the rest of the pot out as well. The next day there were lots of bright red tulips out growing outside the window.
And the moral of the story ................ you get Tulips from Hamster-jam !
There's only one Tattoo worth seeing and that's the Edinburgh one!
No. Never even crossed my mind but our ice cream maker is coming out of the kitchen cupboard this weekend.
A fantastic achievement. 50k by the end of 2018!
I never even noticed it and only found out about it when I watched Sky News!
If I was their FD I would be having some serious conversations with their marketing team!
Abraham Lincoln was a licensed bartender.
A Chinese man sued his wife for being to ugly..... and the court agreed awarding him US$115,000.
It's not illegal for women to go topless in NYC.

My advice to everyone would be to hang on for six months and wait for all the inevitable teething problems to be sorted first.
Interestingly, AM approached some of the top City of London brokers to help them raise £130m in order to float the company on the Stock Exchange. They were politely turned away. The brokers did not want to be associated with them. I believe the same thing happened in Canada last year.
Makes you wonder if they were being hypocritical and guilty of double standards when compared to some of the things that go on there. Or is it, perhaps, that there are some things that money can't buy!
I AM smiling at some of the most recent posts. Turned a bugger of a day into a better one!
Well done and well deserved.

Oh look, it's the F.B.I.
I am a third of the way through it.
I just don't get Eurovision.
It costs UK TV Licence payer around £500k a year.
The acts the BBC choose to represent us are not even second rate. I have seen better acts on cruise liners and this year's act... well... was it karaoke?
While the spectacle of stage performance and the glitter and glamour may be entertaining I am sure that the hosting costs of around £25m could be better spent elsewhere.
But the worst of it is the humiliation for the UK. They hate us in Europe and yet we degrade ourselves by joining in this spectacle.
So congratulations to the BBC on getting us 5 points. It was good value for money at £100k a point.
Congrats to Dancing Doll, Sitting and Jaymal. Your top places are thoroughly deserved.
I was overwhelmed to be even considered for a place among the top ten. There is such a wealth of talent here at Lush and my mention and my RR is a reflection on the standards they set and their inspiration to raise my game.
I have just over 50 books on kindle and have probably read only about a dozen of them. A kindle is very handy when travelling but like others here I prefer the feel of a book in my hand. Bought 'The Girl On A Train' this weekend in hardback - just need time to read it now!
A friend of mine lost (as in died) his pet tarantula a few weeks ago and has offered me his vivarium and all his kit. I have always toyed with the idea of keeping a tarantula and wondered if any one else keeps them and what are the best ones to keep and what are the pitfalls. I have bought couple of books from Amazon and slowly going through them but a practical insight would be very helpful. Thanks
I smoked hash for a short while in my early twenties. Thought it was a waste of money to be honest. Since then I have seen some friends and family end up in mental institutions through drug abuse; seen some driven to suicide and others wreck their marriages, businesses and careers. Drugs are the scourge of the modern day society. People use the word 'recreational' to make them sound so chick or cool to use but the reality is that drug users are putting poisonous chemicals into their bodies, ignoring the long term consequences for a short term thrill. Why anyone would want to put a needle into their veins; snort something up their nostrils; inhale or swallow something that could end their life is beyond me.
Never crossed my radar but if he is that big then maybe he should think about cutting back on his food.
