Sorry

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

I know things about stuff


Or I cheated and know the answers, hence why I'm not answering

Mr. Tidgy, I cheated. I used Google to tell me (feeling quite silly) that Wellington is a brand, and Hiram Hutchinson actually invented the thing.
With help from Charles Goodyear.

Doesn't matter.
Nobody knows all these.
I only know some.
googling, or checking QI where most of them come from is quite acceptable.
You keep your points and get more for that post.

@leigti, how are you?

Who knows where and how the company Birdseye came into being?

Really ?
1923, Clarence Birdseye, he'd seen frozen food up north in Eskimo territory and wanted to emulate that back home, so developed an insti-freeze process to keep vegetables fresh for longer.

Yes, really! I only learned that a few weeks ago.

Nope.
You can't have 'more smarter' it's a double comparative which is not possible in English.
Smart is a short adjective so the comparative is with an added 'er'.
A long adjective like intelligent has the comparative 'more'
Some in the middle, like clever, can have either er or more but not both.
So the cat's wrong.
Silly cat.
And as for Descartes......

Home sweet home!

Good, isn't it?

From 'The Daily Mirror'.
There were four of us in the doctor's waiting room when in walks a Pakistani gentleman.
He was about to go straight through into the doctor's surgery when a woman jumped up an grabbed his arm saying in very deliberate English;
" We ...are....before.....you. ........You.......take...your......turn......understand?"
To which the Pakistani gentleman replied in equally deliberate Engish;
" No...you.....are......after......me....Me.....doctor........understand ?

yes, it is.
Sorry, being pedantic.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

An elephant walks into a bar.
What do you offer it to drink?

 

[meech008]

I bet it misses you too!

I hope so! I know a certain pudgy beagle likes to keep it company when I'm not there

In 12th place and gaining 4 points to take on to the end of the year is Abdulla.
@AbdullaAli
you can do better, though I know you're rather busy right now.
Enjoy your holiday, my friend.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And that's all for now.
I must get some sleep.
All will be revealed later today.
Good night Cold Dark Roomers wherever you may be.
And blessings to Ken.
