Thank you, Cheers, now know who Highlander is.  Can't understand, though, why concentrate on an empty tube of toothpaste?  Be easier to get a new, full one!

Denise, I'm rather surprised that you say you don't know me as we exchanged emails via the CBF 3/4 times re: the rental of the house.  I also came round to see you and explain/apologise why I wouldn't be able to rent out.  Obviously didn't make much of an impression! (but thank you, once again, for the coffee)
I hope your new house purchase is going well.

Ok so a question - why does a bottle of frozen water always feel heavier than liquid water? I'm assured it weighs the same but it always feels blooming heavy in my beach bag!

Why does my wife, when buying eggs, always check inside the box and every time find none broken, and I never check inside and there is always one broken :D

Answers - Because air gets trapped in the water (oxygentated?) therefore would weigh more? (truthfully, don't really know but someone will:P

Scunners question - because you dropped them but didn't have the chutzpa to admit it:D

Hillside its cos its cold on your hand and you don't want to carry it!!  You put it in your bag and its the same thought!!
Oh I'm on Lances wavelength ............. RESCUE ME!!!!
Always check my eggs in Morrisons Keith and be careful how you pack them.  If you pack them upright they will  not break - side on is another matter...................... RESCUE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Peecee, to answer your question bout holes and soil. In Uzumlu unless you are very fortunate when you dig a hole you aquire a large number of stones.  After you have discarded the stones you have just enough soil to pack around your new plant and the soil that came with.

As to the butter side down. Statistically speaking there is a 50% chance of the bread landing on either the buttered side or the unbuttered side. If you are the same as me then someone somewhere in the world buys less bread as their buttered bread always lands on the unbuttered side.

That brings me to the toothpaste, if you were a peice of toothpaste would you after the life squeezed out of you want to go into someones mouth.  Lets face it you have struggled to stay in the tube in the chance that you might escape.

My excuse for my above comments is that it is very late, I have had a busy day and I'm extremely tired.

Forgot this bit - Have spent 30 years digging the stones out of my garden so none left, but as Peecee said the plant is lower than the surrounding surface when planted!  Unless I take the soil from the surrounding surface I have the same question!
Peecee what have you started?

Thank you C-E, logical answers.
Cheers - Hopefully something that is amusing and informative.
I, like you, dug all the stones out of the garden when I moved in (even to the point of sieving the soil. That IS sad, perhaps I do need a life! Or want a good garden ;)) But still get the dip.
Having said that, come end of year and weeding I find even more have come up to the surface. Why?
