^ And if it doesn't you'll be in ours forevermore, presumably?

I'm making plans already. I hope you're a fan of mohair and Greek yoghurt.

[Rocket Spud]

Jesus.. i'm just an innocent. Go easy..

We're gonna have to do something about it soon because i don't wanna waste all that color on black. I've also got the replacement cartridge already, just wanna make sure that there's no more black left in the current one.

[Appear]

^ Alright, alright *puts yoghurt back in fridge*.

Seriously though, I do think it's unlikely that the colour's being used to make black. I know from all the printing I've done (which is a lot), if the black runs out, colour will then be used to replace it, but it won't look black - it'll be some other weird colour instead. Also, if it were possible to create black from a colour cartridge, surely printers would only need that, and not a separate black one?

Does anyone notice a difference in taste between canned beer and bottled beer? I reckon canned beer is more bitter. Maybe I am getting a bit old and picky

.. There's a good lad. Save it for a rainy day, eh.

You're probably right about this cartridge malarky. Anyway, i've already bought the replacement now and i bet there's about half left in the current one

I'll keep you posted either way

I find beer tastes better from bottles, but soft drinks taste better from cans!

^ Either someone forced you to taste wee, or you have a morbid curiosity

[Kevin Hodge]

i dont like drinking beer out of bottles, or cans. what i mean is, its always best to pour it into a suitable glass.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good/'does the job', presentable 'no canvassers' type window sticker or hanging/wall mounted sign?

Seriously considering this for a b'day present and who better to ask than you guys

[Rocket Spud]

.. a doorbell as a b'day present.

Nah, that's crazy

ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_tr...at=0&_from=R40

[Rocket Spud]

Cool. Cheers, Talbot - more variety than amazon

I think it'll make a decent jokey bday present (his gf moans at him about not telling people to piss off) and i'll get him some b&q vouchers as he's moving into a new home soon.

I want to determine just how dirty minded I am in comparison to the average person. Look at this picture of a shelf from my work and tell me what you initially think the little square sign in the bottom left corner says.

[Jam]

^ Those figurines behind the sign doesn't help either

[Appear]

Yeah, that's why I've put the sign there. Hoped the chickens would act as a little prompt. Trying to see if any customers pick up on it too.

We've also got one that says 'I kiss better than I cook'.

So far then it seems I'm not dirty minded at all, and am the sweet innocent person I've always known myself to be. Score.

If you freeze carbonated water as ice cubes does it keep its bubbles when it defrosts?

[Mortigantoj]

^ no, because carbon doesn't freeze at the same temperature as pure water, so the excess carbon would be pushed out during the cooling process. A little carbon may be trapped inside but not enough to keep the water noticeably fizzy!

I make Cola ice cubes to put in my drink so it doesn't dilute it like water would

[Appear]

^ Okay, that is genius. I've always hated it when regular ice cubes do that.

Is this a good assumption: 'if it's sunny in Wales, it is too in the South.'

[Jason90]

^ Generally seems to be similar weather at least the person from wales i talk to generally says its the same as it is here.

Theoretically if the sun ceased to burn and produce heat and light but didn't explode wouldn't we have a few years receiving the heat and light as it takes so long to reach us? so plants would continue to grow and produce oxygen letting us continue to breath and grow crops. Also if the sun stopped would the moon be affected, as the moon is tied in with tides, would tides disappear too? Presumably once the light and heat runs out wed have no plants surviving so wed die of a lack of food and oxygen amongst other problems.

[Jason90]

8 minutes!? swear my science teacher said it took years, the lying bastard i bet he wasn't even qualified and thanks . If that's the case id prefer it to just explode and kill me instantly, better than suffocation. How cheery do i sound .

[Z.]

Yeah light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach us, which is an incredible thought. It means that if the sun suddenly vanished, we could look into the sky for another 8 minutes and see the sun, which would no longer be there.
It also means that we're looking into the past every time we look up; even when we look around you're looking into the past, because it takes time for the light to travel to your eye. You're never looking at the present.

[Jason90]

mm maybe i was, still thought it took a lot longer than that even at the speed it travels .

Don't give up too soon, we can produce oxygen through electrolysis

Can someone please tell me what creature it is that makes this noise outside my window often around this time of night?

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0IXNHCzjJLA

I've not even messed about with the sound in that recording. I'm in my room, sat on my bed and that's how loud it is from here. The reason I ask is so I can determine which exterminator/poision/size hoover nozzle/incantation/Michael Buble song I need to get rid of it.

[Z.]

^ It sounds like you have a Chihuahua stuck under your floorboards.

I'm pretty sure that's a dog, and I'm pretty sure that in order for it to be that loud...it has to be in the house, with you...whilst you sleep.

[Rocket Spud]

Sound like a fox you reckon.. ?
