Clever s*ds - help required please!!

[Bunnylump]

Although MBH is the sensible side of the twin combo. I'm the stupid side that drinks, he's the sensible side that doesn't, just works in a bar now and again (and presumably watches other idiots pickling themselves...)

[MBH]

No hurry - I'm at the bar tonight so it will be tomorrow before I can experiment.

Taken out of context that is pretty funny! Mind, if it were me, after a night of being in the bar-that would be the perfect time to try and work out my computer problems!

LOL

I forgot to cancell that request for help - the next day it started up OK Then vanished again Then came back again I'm thinking something physical in the wiring.

It's been OK since that post, so I'm just keeping my fingers crosse.

Clvrlad, you have realised that you're not REALLY a tin dog, and I'm not REALLY a giant purple rabbit*, haven't you?

I have been given a riddle to solve


WhaT has 4 legs in the morning two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening
Apparantly this is a riddle is simon rushdie's new book. A nine year old has solved it, but is not revealing the answer


Does anyone have any iDEAS

Ah, the Riddle of the Sphinx:
The answer is MAN.
In infancy (morning) he crawls on all fours
In maturity (afternoon) he walks upright
In age (evening) he walks with the aid of a cane.

Though in Pyramids, Terry Pratchett does a good deconstruction of it.

[Scurra]

The answer is a CHAIR.

Man sits on it at lunchtime but he's too heavy and the front two legs snap.
He spends the rest of the day looking but can only find one piece of wood to glue back on, and so turns it into a stool.

I think it's some sort of relay race, where they don't go as far in the afternoon!

[MBH]

That is one of the 'old classics', but if you're going to mess about with it....


Rolf Harris with a bad back


Rolls out of bed and crawls to the bathroom to start to pull himself around. Works out the muscles and is relaxed by the shower allowing him to stand for the rest of the day. Then in the evening goes on stage....


"He's Jake The....."

[clvrlad]

Clvrlad, you have realised that you're not REALLY a tin dog, and I'm not REALLY a giant purple rabbit*, haven't you?

*Well I wasn't last time I looked, anyway...

I can't access my emails. I go to the log in page and type in my password and then it comes up with error 404 page not found. Do you reckon this is a problem at their end? (It's BT, is anyone else one here on BT broadband?)

[Bunnylump]

Can anyone tell me please what the sticks on letters are called? (The ones which go up on things like d, h, b)

[giraffe]

ascenders I think.

edit: Look at number 7 on this page http://quilljar.users.btopenworld.com/rules.html

[Bunnylump]

Oh thank you.

[SparkOut]

Did you get your email problem sorted out, giraffe?
