freezing point of fairy v drool?

well mum spit being scientifically proven to be not only an antibiotic and coagulant, but also the most effective stain remover known to man, i'd say the gob has the fairy by about 10 degrees at least.

difficult to predict, 10 mins maybe tops. you'll have to do a controlled experiment over the next few days, gob, liquid and no gob then give us the results. if you get an endorsement from fairy for added ingrediants i want 50% for the suggestion.

teacher gob has the quality of this apparently.

I presume you or she is wrapping a scarf or something over her face?

I wear glasses I don't cover my face, my problem is when I come indoors not when I'm out.

...as versatile as "mum spit" is, there's also this type of thing.

No gardens at all? The average UK outside space is probably smaller than the average Canadian 'yard' maybe. A Google surf along satellite pictures of the average Canadian and UK town maybe in order for your colleagues...

Can't argue with this. When I was in the US got asked by someoneif I knew a family called Jones in Norwich (I guess I wasn't that far away in Essex). I also got to know a really nice couple but the chap wasn't sure if I would want to come over for dinner as he had been born in Germany and emigrated when he was 8. Took me ages to work out what he was on about......

Just don't mention the war.....

Someone from Canada was in the boozer that my brother and sister in law used to frequent.

SIL says do you think she knows (so and so) who went to live in Canada some years earlier.
Bro says, don't be daft, Canada's a big place.

SIL asked anyway. You guessed it. She knew her...went to the same college in Canada.

It's a small world.

Wouldn't want to paint it though.
