Yep.
Thanks, Cameron.
Rather hoping someone would say cocktail, but never mind
Brummagem is an old word for someone from Birmingham and Brummagemware something of poor quality that comes from there.
Birmingham workers were considered to be a bit oafish so a Birmingham screwdriver is indeed a hammer.
They used hammers to drive in screws . (allegedly)

Well, I don't drink so that's usually a bit further from my mind than most I guess.

In the 1950's there were hundreds but now the UK has only about 15 registered professional ventriloquists.
The name means 'stomach talker'.
There was even a radio ventriloquist!

Yes, and his mouth moved !!!
He asked the actress and comedienne Beryl Reid if she's noticed his mouth moving and she replied," Only when the dummy's speaking".
I went to see a topless female ventriloquist the other night.
Never saw the mouth move once.

Three of my turtles never touched their various cuttlebones for mooooonths and months and months. Then one day I go outside and see this;
View attachment 147547
Almost half of it was gone over the course of 12 hours. Today, most of what was left is gone. I'm assuming it's my female that laid five random eggs as she was walking around. But before this, it was never touched. Do you eat eggs? If you crack open an egg to make scrambled or sunny side up or over easy etc, take the egg shells and put them in Ollie's enclosure. My one turtle prefers munching on those over the cuttlebone.
Hi I broke the cuttlebone into pieces and put them into Oli's enclosure, as soon as I was told how they are given to torts. But he has not touched it yet.

Thanks very much you help and advice.

I forgot, sorry.
To say, Morning, John.
So, afternoon, John!
Hope you're having a good day.
No not, Morocco, lots of cars here (though not where I live) and nearly everyone has a TV here.
More TV's and satellite dishes than most European countries, they don't read here, you see, or go to the pub.
The women often barely leave the house.
TV is an essential.
