Up at 5am for 9am flight. Canceled. Next flight is at 11:20am. Delayed 1 hour. Such is life  Fingers crossed for 12:20pm. Do the airport electronic information displays there say "Waiting time left" or as they all seem to do in UK airports now "Shopping time left"! |

Might also be a Pied Wagtail, although they usually have two feet.

The 'Posh People' question.
I had a debate with someone who can't be named for legal reasons. said person was of the opinion that the majority would see Posh as a negative.
We have obv shown that is not the case.
I loved all the replies. The best one for my purpose was Jon MW's "Green Eyes" answer. The funniest, (According to my somewhat warped sense of humour) was Ralph's trysers.
Next- Something else.

Another genuine question.
Does everyone, both male and female do this, is it a man thing, or is it just me?
Example: I'm cooking fried eggs on toast. I have to try work out precisely the most efficient method of doing it.
It doesn't matter if I don't get it right, what matters is that I think about it and, if it's a task I perform regularly, refine it over a period of time.
I cook eggs on toast often, so there's not much left to improve on. This is the best method I've found so far.
Light gas under pan.
Fill kettle with just enough water for my needs and turn on.
Get egg box from cupboard and place next to cooker.
Place sheet of kitchen roll next to cooker on opposite side.
Grease hot pan and turn off.
Put tea-bag in mug.
Put bread in toaster slots but don't start toasting yet.
Kettle boils.
Poor water on to tea bag.
Start toaster.
Re-light gas under pre-heated pan and crack eggs in to it.
Place shells on kitchen roll.
Finish making tea and warm plate as eggs fry.
Flip eggs over when toast pops up.
Transfer toast to warm plate.
Transfer eggs to toast.
Everything hot and ready at same time.
I do this sort of thing (Subconsciously, not obsessively) with everything I do.
Is it just me?

I have devised a test to see if you have these 'There must me a logical answer' tendencies.
You go in to a public toilet. It's clean and it's empty.
There are five cubicles to chooses from, all have their doors closed.
Based on this information, which one do you choose, and why?

Loving your work, sir! We don't want 'frilly' eggs.
Transfer toast to warm plate.
Transfer eggs to toast.
Please tell me you forgot to write 'Butter the toast' in between that. |

Trial and error shown that it gets too hot if I leave it on continually. I can see you're on my wavelength |

Either the one nearest the window or best light source or failing that the one furthest away. |
