Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 22 Sep 16

I recently read about some research into memory. Apparently. we store different kinds of memory in different places - smells in the olfactory centre, sounds in the auditory centre, visual memories in another place and so on....

Just an Ordinary Owl? I used to listen to the Archers religiously and always looked forward to the Sunday Omnibus edition. It was never quite the same after Walter Gabriel died, however, and I sort of drifted away not long after that.

I have a part time job at the racecourse, and one day one of my co-workers was guilty of an amusing gaffe. To get into the races you have to have a ticket, which can either be pre-purchased online or bought on the spot. My job is...

Jabo @nannacroc That's entirely possible. The same thing has happened to me - someone I've been with has said ''That's so-and-so'', but I wasn't sure that it was. Nice to see you again

So I got a text from my sister this morning asking me to call her as soon as I got up. I actually thought she was going to tell me someone had died. It is just unusual for her to text me with a request to speak to me. A lot of you...

A friend of mine, whose mother is in her 90's and is becoming increasingly dependent, has come up against the demon of 'eligibility tennis'. There is no doubt at all that she is eligible for (free) care under the current system....

This is Britain's new bank note. It's made of plastic, so it will survive being laundered and it is, so they say, more difficult to counterfeit. All the blood, tears and sweat you like to throw at it won't stain it or leave a...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Twelve and a half pence is just a silly amount these days but I remember buying a whole pub lunch for half a crown and also the outrage I felt when a pint of beer went up to 2/6! I also remember the time and place (Land's End Hotel) when I first paid £2 for a...

I was looking through one of my old posts and got such a laugh from re-reading some of the responses and comments there, that I wondered if you would find this excerpt amusing. In this post (Balloon Bosomed Bimbos) I wrote a...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @egdcltd I seem to remember reading that but you see them all the time on eBay and other places (see the link that Vanny posted above) and I purposely took my photo at an angle and on a darkish surface (so that the wood shows through the clear part). I don't...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @Asylum And the materials. The Bank of England doesn't like the word "plastic". They prefer "polymer" (but that's a parrot half thinking out loud).

Koalemos Plastic banknotes were in use in the Isle of Man back in the 1970s, but they have now reverted back to the linen variety. This makes me wonder just how successful such material is for currency.

One of the supermarkets near me has a scheme whereby, when you buy something, you receive a number of green tokens (depending on how much you spend). By the exit there are two or three boxes where you can deposit your tokens...

Can someone tell me why during my mad house clean this week I told Mr Croc to stay out of my way, then shouted at him for not helping me? Does anyone else do this?

RieRie Because you know if he helps, he'll get in the way or do something wrong, but afterwards you remember how tiring it is doing it by yourself and decide he should've helped after all.

creativedreamweaver I can't stand my Mr. to be around when I'm cleaning. Drives me totaly nuts. He just gets under foot, or tells me how to do something...other than the way I am doing it. Then when all is said and done, I am disappointed he didn't help. I don't actually get mad,...
