Trees.

How I hate them.

For years they've been dropping things on my head & littering our streets with their filthy leaf's. Not to mention the birds that sit in them sqwaking constantly and deficating on any thing beneath them.

How I will laugh once they have all gone and I can bask in the sunshine of yet another blistering hot Lancashire day.

cassie, see the Wikipedia definition of a monkey-hanger - I think it's an hilarious name.

Do watches with thermometers actually work - as in have the ability without hanging them outside to tell the ambient temperature?
I have always wanted to know that.
The Walrus, you seem to be implying the negative.

Good to know it's not just me gets frazzled by microwaves beeping endlessly. By the way, have you considered having your blood pressure checked before you carry on with the rants? I only ask because I care. :) James.

My fancy Casio watch says it's 89.4F here, but it may be measuring the temperature of my arm...

Yes but since intelligence seems subjective/relative/society-determined you can't be sure your intelligent thoughts actually are.
But then again you can't really rely on the people around you to judge that either.
I'm lost.
But you're lucky to have that sort of confidence in yourself.

Does "subjective/relative/society-determined" sound intelligent? Thanks for your support.

As a two ton aquatic mammal, I find that thinking intelligent thoughts is jolly satisfying in itself, and I really don't care if nobody buys them.

Cassie,

Well done for not squealing. Really appreciate it.

On microwave I had sort of guessed that it was to let me know it had finished. But even the dumbest clock will give up and stop beeping after a while - just not a microwave, even if it's doing nothing. The food is reheated. It's not going to go away. Or get more burnt. It's fine where it is. Plus I know it's finished because the microwave has stopped. I am sorry to say there is nothing you can say in defense of the mean clique who spread this cretinous feature.

Grockles were introduced to me by a monkey-hanger friend.

Microwaves beep to let you know they've finished the task you set them - like when you put the timer on the oven!
I'm a girl and I definitely DO NOT squeal. If I feel a squeally moment coming on I throw back my head and howl like a wolf. Is that better for you?
I can't comment on grockles as I don't travel by train but I LOVE the word grockle..........cassie
