Thats why anti freeze is the secret ingredient in Irn bru. :nod:

t'is true.


I read somewhere that the reason for the difference in cromozones is that when a male baby is in the womb it receives a surge of testosterone after 3 weeks (i think) which causes it to grow all the male bits.  Without, it continues as a female.


Did you know that i can't think of anything useful to say now?





EDIT: Ooo! except that the worlds largest caravan has eight bedrooms and bathrooms, four garages and water storage for 24000 litres.

During the Vietnam war, George (W) bush was an F104  pilot in the Texas Militia

Which is about equivalent to being a submarine commander in Strathclyde Police.
