    Hey Grandpa,

    what happened to summer? i was told down under it is going to be hot hot hot in January, why do I not feel it?
    Don't believe everything you are told.

    Still, January has only just begun, there is time to see whether your down under friend was right or not.

    Grandpa?

    When you put bread in a toaster, where does it go before the toast comes out?

    Why am I incapable of finding employment?

    Third and final, I feel I need a turbo on my bike, is this a good idea?

    A/ The common or garden toaster is an amazing piece of machinery, capable of turning all kinds of bread into toast of varying degrees of colour and crispness. It takes a highly skilled person to operate one effectively as many will complain their toast is unevenly cooked, undercooked, overcooked or charcoal.

    One must at all times first check the timer as the previous person to use it will indoubtedly have changed the setting onto an obscure time that bears little resemblance to the desired or finished product.

    The bread doesn't actually go anywhere as you can discover if you don't mind burnt eyebrows to peer into it while it is cooking. You can actually watch the bread burning before your eyes.

    B/ You live in Bunnythorpe, nuff said...

    C/ Yes it is a good idea, but not as good as simply getting a more powerful bike which will be far more cost effective and reliable.

    After 750ml of Vodka you are most likely unconscious and dreaming. At these times everyone feels they know everything.

    This too will pass... The important thing is that you wake up in the morning eager to find what you may learn during the day and go to sleep at night appreciating what you have learned.

    At my age I really appreciate it when I can remember what I have learned...

    Yes, each morning when I awake I say, "Well, so far so good!" Everything thereafter is a bonus!

    Not to do with the location in England itself, but more to do with the local situation. It was founded in 1792 by the establishment of a hotel at the South end of Lord Street, Lancashire. It was a new development among the sand dunes of what has now become a very popular seaside resort with the second longest pier in the British Isles.
