One for the dentists among you...

Ten green bottles...

Pocket money

At what age do kids start getting pocket money, and what's the going rate? (I do realise that we can't get away with the 6d we used to get as kids, and that we'll probably have to remortgage the house...

Are any dog breeds useless?

My friend maintains that all dog breeds originally started out as working dogs. (Rather later than stone age hunter-gatherers here - we're talking proper dog breeds.) I think that some eg Pekinese and...

How does gobbledegook spam work?

What's going on with the common cold?

Several people I've spoken to have come up with the same observation. Traditional colds used to be 3 days coming, 3 days here, 3 days going and that was it. I used to go for years without getting so...

Chicken's feet

I'm reasonably adventurous and will try most things, but have never eaten Chinese chicken or duck feet, because I don't know what to do with them. I'd hate to look an idiot having spent ages nibbling...

Calorie content of J2O

I've done a great deal of fruitless searching (starting with the label on the bottle and finishing with Google and Copernic) - does anyone know the calorie content of Britvic Orange and Cranberry J2O?

Tap washer problem?

I am not a plumber (as will soon become all too obvious) so does anyone have a simple answer as to why the water comes out OK when I first turn on my hot tap, then after a few seconds it slows down to...

Keyboard with a mind of its own

Dudley sewers!

A friend of mine has heard rumours that there are sewers under Dudley to rival those of Paris. I reckon he's talking a load of old tripe, but does anyone know better?

Behold the power of cheese!

Where on earth does this phrase come from? I've heard it used to describe 70s funky disco and 50s horror B-movies, usually in quotes as if it was an actual quotation. If it is, who said it?

When the chap from the council came, he found that they were actually very similar (but smaller) Martin Bugs, from the housemartin nest that fell down in March, and not bedbugs after all....
