COLD DARK ROOM

Do you have skimmed milk?

Goodness, goodness!!!
No, nor semi-skimmed.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Right I've got to brave the elements for the milk.
It's so annoying because I went shopping yesterday
stocked up on lots of food for Lola and forgot about myself!
So I am just going outside and I may be some time.

I could do with some Halls Mentho-lyptus for wifey, please.

Sorry didn't see your request before I left.
They're not much good anyway
A good Fisherman's Friend will clear the tubes!

'Fiserman' was an Oberleutnant in the SS, wasn't he?
I don't think I want any of his friends round here, thanks very much.

Depends which tubes you wanted cleared I suppose!
If I met any of the SS I think some of my tubes would clear very quickly!!

Edit performed - Fisherman are much friendlier - unless you're a fish!

I was a friendly fisherman, only ever caught anything once out of several dozen attempts.

I think you may be confusing friendly with useless!!
I would be too - I doubt I would even use a hook.

On the one occasion when I did catch a few mackerel, I felt really bad.
They were delicious, it's true, but I never went fishing again and always feel guilty now, when i eat fish of any kind.
Silly, but true.

Nelson was reported to have said "God and my country" by Alexander Scott, the ships chaplain, but everyone else said it was, "Thank God, I've done my duty". Though they often said one of those two, because as last words go, they're a bit more heroic, all the witnesses agreed that at some point , and quite probably his last words as he slipped into coma were "fan, fan...........rub, rub..............drink, drink............". ,

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Very, very quiet in here since half past ten.
i'll take myself off to bed in a sulk.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good night Cold Dark Roommates.
Good night Cold Dark Room.
Hope to see all of you, some of you, any of you tomorrow!!!!!
Sleep well.

And one last question to ponder.
What eat clothes ?

 

[Momof4]

Moths? Or carpet beetles?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Moths? Or carpet beetles?

Hello, Kathy!
Yes, and no.
Neither moths nor carpet beetles themselves eat clothes, it's their larvae.
The common clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella , only a quarter of an inch long, does not feed as an adult, it's only goal is to reproduce..But the larave,(or caterpillars) eat natural fibres, their favourite being wool, but also like grain. There are fewer of them today due to synthetic materials, which they don't eat, and dry cleaning which works as well as moth balls in keeping them away from clothes.

The varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci , is a pollen grazer as an adult, but the larvae can feed on natural fibres including clothes, carpets and furnitureas well as insect collections so they are a problem for museums. The larvae are known as woolly bears and are almost impossible to eradicate from a normal house, though vacuuming regularly keeps the numbers down

Hello Adam and everyone else. Sorry I haven't been popping in too much the past few days. It's been kind of crazy lately...anyways I hope that everyone has a great Tuesday and stays safe

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm back.
Two hours later and still no posts.
The Cold Dark Room is empty, I can't even see the snow leopard, pirate, armadillos or hedgehogs.
Just a few jellyfish in their tank.
