then saw a green Praying Mantis on them. We gesticulated at each other for a moment - was he the same one that I saw on the roses in April? Is he tired of me disturbing his day? - and I managed to take the vase and all outdoors and shoo him away.
Do you think his prayers were answered?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Many years ago I set my heart on an electronic 'organiser'.

Re: Airlines reliant on GPS

Some years ago I owned a lefthanddrive vehicle (I was an overseas resident at the time). As I tried to drive onto the ferry from Esbjerg (Denmark) to Harwich the clutch cable snapped. On arrival in Britain, I drove to London and made my way to the main dealer to buy a clutch cable. On arrival, there...

A couple of houses back (more like a half dozen actually) it was basically a bungalow with an upper storey and the eaves were 'open' to the winds with 'drywall' inner linings that circulated the cooling breezes throughout the property.
