For example: Jnr Sinatra has a school swimming lesson tomorrow. They are doing lifesaving. For this she has to take in a pair of pajamas (you know where this is going).
Has anyone, in the history of forever, ever saved their life when drowning by removing their pajama trousers, tying knots in the legs and inflating them?
I was taught this as a kid, they still teach it now and I want to know if it has ever been used in anger!
What? 😯
What is chewkw?
What was the hole in the end of a 13A plug for?
Yes me, I fell into the pool whilst wearing my PJ's thankfully I'd just had my training and was able to save myself.
Why does my computer use up twice as much battery power after a kernel upgrade? And only using the Intel card?
What was the hole in the end of a 13A plug for?
A separate earth lead - before 3 core cable.

Me think Bear Grylls was demonstrating this technique a while back.
What are conservatives
(Try google auto-suggest - now try it for Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Greens etc)
Why do so many people seem unable to use Google... (it would cut stw threads in half...)

1: You can make a float from your clothes, as you learned all of those years ago during your survival badges.
2: We (lifesaving teachers) make your kids swim in their clothes. This prepares them on the off chance that they go and jump in the nearest river to save some idiot from drowning. Their clothes also make very useful tow ropes or items to "reach" a casualty.
3: It serves a purpose in that it embarrasses your kids having to stand around the swimming pool in their PJs.
4: It's hard work swimming in your clothes. Makes your kids better swimmers.
Why does my wife have the tap going full blast while cleaning her teeth?
Why does she half fill the kettle for one cup of tea? and many other puzzling conundrums.

It's a throwback to the earlier round pin 5a and 15a plugs. There used to be dispute as to whether or not earth was nessasary so some people wouldn't connect it. The hole allows you to see if the earth pin is wired without opening it up. Its part of the BS standard for round pin plugs (I bought some recently that have them) but not for 13amp although some manufactures (who would still have been making lots of 5a and 15a plugs) just put the holes on the 13amps plugs out of habit
Why do dogs find the taste of their own genitalia so good.
How do you spell pyjamas?

Coz they're the dogs bollocks? The gold standard of quality.

We have all had days like that
How much tax do you pay?
DDWFTTW.
Who paid for George Osborne's trip to the (Google sponsored) Superbowl this weekend?
Why did Graham Taylor drop Peter Beardsley and Chris Waddle from the England squad?

Google blocks searches that pop up profanities certainly nothing to make you think.

Because he's a turnip?

well, er... [i]I[/i] don't know what they taste like, maybe they're onto something, feeling brace enough to do some research on our behalf?

I never knew that. I always assumed it was for sticking a screwdriver into to pry the two halves apart if they'd jammed / stuck together.
Why they are only paying £130 million tax for five years, yet today they have paid the chief executive £138 million for a years work.

Because they can reach?
My daughter is doing the swimming in pyjamas thing today as well. Even a 9 year old wondered when she might be walking along a river bank in her PJs and have to get in to save someone.....
Is it ok that giant multinationals like google are allowed to pay whatever tax rate they fancy?
Its that long since I did my swimming badges that I have forgotten how to swim 😯
[quote="monkeysfeet"]Why do dogs find the taste of their own genitalia so good.
And why - if their sense of smell is so good - do they need to get so close to another dog's arse that their nose is ACTUALLY TOUCHING IT when they say hello ? Couldn't they derive that info from several metres away ?

because oranges and boomerangs socialise.
hey, these non sequiturs are easy. Can I have a go at another one?
If you told a malicious falsehood about someone in an audiobook read by an actor, would it be slander or libel?

Are you suggesting he should be paid more for doing such a good job of limiting their tax liabilities?

I thought you were joking but it really is the first hit hit 😯
