FROM THE BUNKER
David Cameron reassures his supporters of their ultimate victory.
Yes indeed, welcome back Mr Ish. Hope you have fully recovered. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party - but have been having a break from my keyboard for a week or so.
Oh no, I was having fun at the Minack. I'm in exceptional health with the minor injury of having grazed my knee while rock pooling. Sticking plaster. I'll live.
Having been told that molluscs have magnetic teeth and that's how they find their way (where?) I was carrying out an experiment with winkles. I moved them to the middle of a rock pool and watched what they did.
It is remarkable. They move to the nearest wall. They do not set off in the wrong direction or wander aimlessly - they know where they want to go and they head for it. Moreover, they like to be a bunch. They all head for the same place and huggle there like shelley grapes. How are they navigating? Do they have echo location or do their mysterious winkley magnetic teeth pull them towards the nearest rock? Or can they see better than we might think? Are they talking to each other?
What I would like to do next is get some of that magnetic sheeting and cut it in to a complex shape. If the winkles arrange themselves on it to spell out a word then I will take it the iron teeth thing is true, not a put-on.
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThis has cheered me up, even with WW3 about to start.
ReplyDeletewhat d'you think of it so far?
ReplyDeleteMight well be, mrs n, WW3. Hope we can save the Royal baby.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have you back.
ReplyDeleteI hope you stay back.
There are very few of us left!!!

ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteI'm back too. I wonder, if the dodgy dossier had never happened, would he have been able to get his vote through?
welcome back, yourself, mrs woar. hope your absence wasn't due to a cause at all similar to my own.

Hooray, you're back and alive. Lovely job.
