This is a QotW comment Morning LiC, Becky
I read in a paper the other day a suggestion that the whole world should move to a two day week. Then we'd have more leisure time, and would produce stuff at a much lower rate so our global carbon emissions would reduce and we'd all live happily ever after.

I don't think it would really work, but I'd be willing to give it a go. For the same salary, of course.

Edit - and hello to you too V-cat.

This is a QotW comment The problem with the two day working week plan
is these countries with their work ethics which wouldn't allow them to work so little as it would be dishonourable or something.

So they'd be producing at a huge rate compared to the likes of the UK, which I'm sure would be quite happy to sit on its collective arse for 5/7 of the time (plus holidays, of course). So the plan would only work if everyone obeyed the rules. And that would require some sort of UN resolution or the like. And enforcement of sorts.

Damn.

You want nail varnish remover, or acetone, to remove permanent marker from skin.

Much less painful than scrubbing it with a nail brush or something ;)

spray Hairspray onto it - it'll thin the ink right out and then you can wipe it off and sculpt your arm hair.

They couldn't wash it out so had to shave their hair off. At which point they discovered their entire scalp was dyed yellow.

Bristol Uni has slightly too many posh cunts, but a lot of good unis are like that so I wouldn't let it put you off.

As for the city, I really like it: friendly locals, good and varied nightlife and culture in general, easy to get about, fairly cheap taxis compared to a lot of cities, close to the countryside if you want to get out for a day. And the weather seems to be usually pretty good.

I'm actually thinking of moving back there myself at the moment!

Er... The starfish thing... If you break a leg off one, it'll regrow a new leg. The leg you snapped off will die.

If you break off a leg with a chunk of the "body" (the central section), it'll grow into a new starfish, and the original will regrow a leg.

Coolest thing is sponges. If you break one down to individual cells, then pass it through a mono-cellular sieve, then leave the resulting paste in a bucket of seawater with dissolved nutrients, the whole thing will re-organise itself back into a whole sponge.
