It's true, I can't eat fruit other than bananas due to a condition I have. I started eating one every day and my teeth started to stain black. Can't find any reference to it online.
Here's a mystery I want solved. I've been kayaking at over a dozen lakes/rivers the last few years and on almost every single trip I've spotted a refrigerator on a bank rusting away. I don't get it. Why refrigerators? I don't see ovens or washing machines or other appliances but frequently refrigerators. The water ways arnt that trashed and some of these are in remote locations. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to get the deserted refrigerators to these locations and I can't figure out why.
Er, yes Spur. Had you been a 'Pool supporter and a regular for the last three years on our board (a sort of Tobes, if you like) you'd have better guessed the ironic reference to to our erstwhile tinfoil hat, Sisu. But I enjoyed the cuddle anyway.
They have captured ice demons inside them that make them work. If they escape into the wild then car windscreens would freeze over even in June.
Everybody knows old ovens belong in council house gardens. You want remote, some navy mates of my dad's once hauled a mini-submarine up Ben Nevis for charity. They were several hundred yards into the snow when they found a stiletto heeled shoe. That's taking kink to new levels.
Astro nailed it in one. the gas used in a fridge are green house gases and require proper draining. Tetrafluoroethane is now used but in old fridges Freon was used which depletes the ozone layer. thus at least over here people don't want to touch fridges with a barge pole and charge for recycling. Its sounds like the Us is the same.
You're in trouble when bananas are extinct: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35131751 Further to the fridge mystery, I bought a new one from Currys and they charged £20 to take the old one away. The local council was going to charge me £25. What's the bloody council tax for? They have Freon-free ones now so countryside fridges might become rarer.
I presume currys are getting a bulk discount or doing their own dismantling and recycling. The value of materials is way more than the cost so i really think charging for disposal and proper disposal is silly. Council are prob milking it.
