Ah, now that we have the expert on the line, I have a question: such a hamster is very nice, but do they grow if you feed them? You know how it is: they're cute when they're small. regards, Hein Well of course they'll grow, and when they do you'll need to buy a larger monitor, that's all. Josco is probably already shopping for a 25 " screen due to irresponsibly stuffing his hamster with food.

I have tried feeding him (her? how can one tell?) constantly for a few minutes. What a greedy pig! Stop overfeeding your hamster before I report you. Feed him for a little while and then stop. He'll have himself a little drink from his hamster bottle. Honestly, some people shouldn't have pets.

No but you can get a virtual one to play with. I have this one on my homepage. http://abowman.com/google-modules/hamster/

This is a niffler, a mythological rodent with a bad disposition and a penchant for bright shiny objects.

No way, it wasn't us. He must have sat on his cellphone one too many times. Or something of that nature.

double post.

My eyes! My useless eyes! regards, Hein

It remains to be seen if he can fill his father's shoes in the looks department. http://kimjongillook...ngs.tumblr.com/

Me too! He was my joker.

Oh I think it does. Under certain circumstances, I think it might. If it were prepared in Yorkshire by a Yorkshireman there would be traces of Yorkshire DNA and other local molecules.

A New York Egg Cream doesn't have an egg in it. In fact it doesn't have cream either. The ingredients are chocolate syrup, seltzer and milk. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/NYEggCreamHistory.htm

JoePa may well (have to) retire/resign, but it's Sandusky you need on your lists - he'll be getting Dahmered if he doesn't do a Shipman first. Watch out kid, Uncle Joe gonna get ya. Two cinder blocks have managed to find their way inside the Sandusky home via a window. http://www.inquisitr...ed-psu-scandal/ The way things are going, a Dahmering or Shipmaning might be in the works even before he's incarcerated.

'Little Dickens', if you please.

Never mind old chap, it's just the sun shining on the snow. Just put on those polarized sunglasses that I bought you in Aspen, and bring me a whisky.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, call 999.

^^ Great video. Because of his failure to ine on abortion, I thought his 15 minutes of fame were up, but he's still holding strong at 25% in the polls, with Mitt Romney 4 points behind. To play the devil's advocate, it could also be said that a run for the presidency would give him a reason to live, thus giving his immune system a little boost. Besides, there's always

Ah yes, the horrors of shopping. I hated shoe hunting in particular. A perfect afternoon, or even worse, Saturday ruined by walking from shop to shop for hours, ghastly sales staff and fitting dozens of pairs of shoes. The shoes I came home with invariably were too large and cheapish. Of course I could wear the new shoes only on Sundays, which did little to improve the Sunday afternoon walk. By the time the shoes were worn enough for every day use, they would be too small, so a new shopping trip would follow soon. I suppose such shopping trips are much more entertaining when a dead dictator is on view. regards, Hein I have always hated shoe shopping with a passion, but my old boots went belly-up after the rigors of last winter and I need to get a new pair soon. The chance to view a dictator on ice would definitely take some of the sting out. Perhaps an international tour of Gaddafi's corpse could be arranged (Coming soon to a mall near you!)

Yep - the Colonel's copped it. Was he shot in the head, legs or guts? He's at the Mall. C'mon kids, it's time to go buy some new shoes! If you're good, we can stop for a smoothie afterwards and see a stiff!!

I miss your languid green blink.

I'm rather fond of maps; I can spend hours reading them, and have a reasonable geographic knowledge as a result, including the names of many exotic places I've never been to and will never visit. I realise that that knowledge is of limited use outside a pub quiz. If you can type, the same knowledge can be dredged from the web in seconds. If you have GPS at hand you're never really lost. I guess the geographically daft people are right. regards, Hein History and geography were my favorite subjects.... I have a world atlas on my coffee table and I actually curl up and read it sometimes.. A conversation that took place last week indicates that sometimes the best response is really ' I'm rubbish at geography '. A fellow asked me if a friend of mine was from Israel. I told him no, my friend was from Egpyt. Then the guy says (direct quote) 'Well it's the same thing, right? Same people, same place, same language, religion, right? ' Then he wrapped it up by singing a verse 'Tell ole pharoah to let my people go'.
