My flatmate has the option to work from home. This makes me very jealous. My ideal job would be one I can do whilst wearing my pyjamas.

Being a vegan, I can't eat Smarties. I get fake ones which are called Whizzers. They're kinda plastic tasting, but when you're desperate, you'll think anything is delicious.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

if you chewed the top of a smartie tube they get really big and round.

[Yudster]

When you were a kid did you ever do that thing of putting a coin on the railway track to see what happened when the train went over it? Me neither.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

To be honest you would have had to wait that long for a train i couldnt be bothered.

[Walter Sobchak]

I wouldn't earn anything if I worked at home, and how would I afford my Smarties then?

[Walter Sobchak]

Yuds, surely that only worked if the coin was big enough, such as an old penny.

Charlalottie, The wheel of the train would either cut through the coin or seriously bend it.

or flatten it

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

like one of those penny machines where you pay £2 to get a flat penny.

[MK Chris]

Haha those always make me laugh, what kind of idiot is ever going to pay to use them.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

only if you have no sense of touch.

[Yudster]

What happens if you put a coin on a railway track Yudster? I'm intrigued.

Its supposed to make it bigger and thinner. Never worked. Allegedly.

[S4B]

it does. I didn't do it but some kids who live near me did They brought the penny into school and got into trouble for playing on the railway

[Chris]

apparently it does also (http://www.squished.org)

[S4B]

Oh my god I don't think I've laughed so much at anything you've written before Lotts

[Ballbag]

Oh young lottie, the ne'er-do-wells of today are a lot worse I can tell you that. At least we didn't carry around knives and the like.

[DemonHorse]

I once heard the theory Stephen King had on what would happen if you put a coin on a railway track. He thought that it would Squish and smoosh the coin flatter as above, but that it would also derail the train. Anyone heard of any examples of the coin derailing the train as it got squished and smooshed?

[S4B]

you're a bit bloodthirsty today Horsey

[Ballbag]

I recognised your sarcasm Lottster, and I agree that you're positively lovely and nice. If I hadn't had already seen a picture of you, I'd imagine you to look like Mary Poppins.....a young version of course.

[MK Chris]

Well I broke 2 but one is a lion and one is a sheep one, like those ladybird ones you get and I hope to find an umbrella fixer one day so I can get the sheep one fixed, because he was amazing and he's called Colin.

Fair enough. I can't think of anything to come back to that with.

That spoiled the gag somewhat.

[Ballbag]

It's alright foots..... it was barely noticed I'm sure.

[Nicola_Red]

one for each bag, obviously.

[Vivienne]

I've never understood the "bags or shoes" thing!! Neither one are thrilling to me. One thing I DO have loads of is mascara : for every possible occasion, including the swimming pool! My swimming pool 'scara is a waterproof one SO very waterproof it stays on throo' being underwater for ages, out in the rain (even if it's monsoon like conditions), etc., etc. In fact, it's so very waterproof I can hardly get it back off (!!).
