When walking on slippery icy/snowy surfaces, it's best to walk with your weight slightly over your knees - no-one falls forward on ice (bit like skiing) but always backward and land on bottoms/back. [that was a public information broadcast]

When slippery icy/snowy surfaces occur, it's best to stay indoors. Grin

BlatherskitesInFairyLights · 22/12/2011 21:17

If you can't get any grit for your slippery/icy surfaces, dishwasher salt works almost as well

Hoorah, I've found a random fact generator - here's a depressing one:

The chances of you dying on the way to get your lottery tickets is greater than your chances of winning.

A group of crows is called a Murder

Most ginger tom cats are impotent.

The collective noun for nightingales is a charm.

Sorry I was

a) Talking xmas pressies with DS2 who HAS NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT HE'S GETTING and said that he KNOWS because he's been in my bedroom and seen the presents...little does he know the present is inside MY BRAIN.

b) Chatting to my friend about the collection of the hamster what I am babysitting for xmas

c) Drinking a bit more wine

d) arguing about royalty

Red Wine plus absinthe = certain lottery win?

My ginger cat had to be "done" sooner than I'd hoped as he kept trying to shag his sister...

DeePanCrisPandEeeven · 22/12/2011 21:52

oooh noo Belle. I know you're name, and it's provenance! I sort of elevated it for the purpose of chivalry, but without making it clear ( or asking your permission, even!). I am sorry.

JingleBelleDameSansMerci · 22/12/2011 21:55

Ah, and I was teasing (as you must know).

And, ahem, if you want to, erm, meet for coffee or something you could, you know, ask...

GeraldineHoHoHobergine · 22/12/2011 21:58
