Vanilla has given me the great honour of starting the TENTH thread that absolutely no-one responds to. No-one at all. We have not racked up 9,000 previous posts talking about absolutely nothing.

Along the way we've become great friends. Newcomers are always welcome. So pull up a chair and join us in our mn version of Central Perk Café. We share jokes and memes, random facts and thoughts, our highs and lows, we are the card carrying lifelong members of The Union of different kinds.

So whether your life is perfection or;
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(If) it's like you're always stuck in second gear
(Whether) it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

We'll be here for you.

There's
Vanilla who brought us altogether
Toad & Jet who are our meme champions
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf Wink
AGL who is young
Jess who likes to flounce
Red who has red hair
Being who's always there
Noone who is on holiday
Legz who makes purple cakes and Mouse who makes lots of cakes
Cat, MrsTP and others who pop in when they can.
(Sorry to anyone I've forgotten)

Oh and I'm supposed to be starting blues clues but had no idea what that was so will do my homework and add them in soon.

Party mum isn't posh, actually. She's walked straight off Geordie Shore and is as rough as bricks.

Vinegar mixed with water and sprayed on the spot she pissed on helps eliminate the smell for good although to be fair, you will feel like you are going to bed in a bag of chips for a while.

If you use neat distilled malt vinegar the smell dissipates much faster.

A mathematics riddle: Not far off shore a ship stands with a rope ladder hanging over her side. The rope has 10 rungs. The distance between each rung is 12 inches. The lowest rung touches the water. The ocean is calm. Because of the incoming tide, the surface of the water rises 4 inches per hour. How soon will the water cover the third rung from the top rung of the rope ladder?

3 men go into a hotel. The man behind the desk says a room is $30 so each man pays $10 and goes to the room.

A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only $25 so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys' room with $5. On the way the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split $5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a $1 and kept the other $2 for himself.

This meant that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27 add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29. Where is the other dollar?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 26/08/2016 13:59

Yep. A watch. What about my mathematical one?

And what on earth is the answer to yours?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 26/08/2016 14:04

Is your maths one actually a riddle or just a maths question?

Do you really want to know the answer to mine?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 26/08/2016 14:20

Being it is a maths riddle

OP posts:
MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 26/08/2016 14:20

and yes I really want the answer to yours

Although, surely the boat would just rise with the water? Hmm

Or is that the answer?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 26/08/2016 14:23

Although, surely the boat would just rise with the water?

Exactly. That is what makes it a riddle.

Ok, the dollar never existed.

The men all played $10 each but it only cost $25. The bellman gives back $3 and keeps $2. Then each of the men has only paid $9. 9x3=27+2=29. But if you take the correct amount into account $25+ the $2 the bellman kept, it equals $27. Not $30.

PortiaCastis · 26/08/2016 14:26

I've got an easy one
Why shouldn't Cher turn back time?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 26/08/2016 14:27

If that's an easy one, I must be pretty silly. Confused

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 26/08/2016 14:34

being going back a few years I would have realised that easily! I think mommy brain truely exists and I've suffered it badly. Can't believe how bad I've become at problem solving questions.
