Arch, I hope you are now going to get a more modern and humane carbon monoxide detector?

I went on a tour of a colliery pit head once, and the miner leading the party said that the canaries didn't die when they detected gas, they just fainted. If they were hoiked back to the surface quick enough, and given a puff of oxygen, they recovered and were retired (on full 'pay' of seed) and never had to go down again. Which I like the idea of...

You can see, I know nothing about keeping birds. I gave it a box with shredded paper in and realised afterwards that I was expecting it to be like a hamster and wanting to burrow if it felt stressed... D'oh! Still, I must have looked after it ok, it was much perkier when I handed it over than when we first picked it up...

I'm imagining colliery canaries being given the golden cuttlefish when they retired from service.

Fantastically Victorian ideal tho, you know you're in trouble when your bird faints.

It happened today.
I was going up a steep hill and I enjoyed it.
Thanks group "sniff"

 

[tdr1nka]

Hahahahahaha, you were warned!
I never imagined it would happen to me either.

 

[Milo]

The last weeks been great ive knocked off all the big hills round my way 2 months ago I would have walked all of them.
Whats happened?

 

[tdr1nka]

Confidence in your own ability will be one thing along with increased fitness no doubt.
Tea?

 

[cookiemonster]

OOHH Yes please!!!

Just had my first exam today.

 

[tdr1nka]

Tea for CM!!

How'd you think the exam went then?
Was this the genetics exam?

 

[cookiemonster]

Yep.

I think I passed but I don't think I set the world alight.

Thankfully, I averaged 90% on my laboratory practicals throughout the 2nd semester so when that has been taken into account and added to today's exam, I should get a comfortable pass overall.

I seem to do much better at the practical side of things rather than the theory for some strange reason.

 

[tdr1nka]

It's good to hear you're fairly confident CM, do you have any other exams coming up?

More tea?

 

[cookiemonster]

I have Ecology tomorrow and then Statistics a week Thursday.

 

[tdr1nka]

You lucky thing, saving the best till last?

 

[tdr1nka]

One last cuppa before bed, and a quick nudge for Tea? to stop it falling off the first page of the Cafe!

 

[Keith Oates]
