What you do is buy one from argos. Then when it turns up, two days later, you take the new one back saying it's the wrong size.

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. I have kept it quiet because it is a birdday that ends in a zero.

I was just watching Autumn watch, a bit about Basking Sharks feeding on plankton and it made me think of the time when I saw one in Cornwall.
It was a sunny day in June and my wife and I were on holiday. At the time we were on a hill overlooking Marazion and St Michaels Mount. I was staring out to sea and noticed plumes of spray coming up off the water, and through my binoculars I could see that it was caused by Gannets plunging in. Whilst I was busy watching the birds diving in a couple of large dark fins appeared. I'm not sure if it was one shark or two but they continued to swim around where the Gannets were. What I want to know is, if the Gannets were after fish and the sharks were swimming around in the same area with their mouths wide open then they must have also swallowed quite a few fish.

You have kept that quiet! Wishing you a very Happy Special *0th Birthday.

Owl licked the end of his pencil, and wondered how to spell “birthday.”
“Can you read, Pooh?” he asked a little anxiously. “There’s a notice about knocking and ringing outside my door, which Christopher Robin wrote. Could you read it?”
“Christopher Robin told me what it said, and then I could.”
“Well, I’ll tell you what this says, and then you’ll be able to.”
So Owl wrote . . . and this is what he wrote:

HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA
BTHUTHDY

Pooh looked on admiringly.
“I’m just saying ‘A Happy Birthday’,” said Owl carelessly.
“It’s a nice long one,” said Pooh, very much impressed by it.
“Well, actually, of course, I’m saying ‘A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh.’ Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that.”
“Oh, I see,” said Pooh.
