      Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. :)

        It was just the one that got stuck! Mate fixed it though, with the help of a tungsten carbide hole saw and 4 hours of mind numbing drilling on the nut.

                Diamond. :-D That is why it took 4 hours with even a drill with tungsten carbide tip. That also explains why he paid so much for his car.

                          I much prefer dryer cereal to the toxic sludge produced by milk, and I also happen to like dry Weetabix with sugar, but for practical reasons I normally lubricate it just a little, with yoghurt. It doesn't soak in and make soggy.

                            6. On entering employment, remember that it doesn't say anywhere in your contract that your job will be easy or fair.

                                        In Russian there is the phrase like your p.2. Here is it in my translation (don't bit the pianist...): "Money doesn't create the happiness, but helps to suffer it's absence".

                                        My English is permanently under construction. Be patient !!

                                          Weetabix is made in the town where I live - Burton Latimer in Northamptonshire :)

The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter
