Safely away from keys and cheese

Leaky leaky. It would seem there is a water leak somewhere near Frictionless Towers. According to our latest water bill, which is HOOOOOOOOOOGE, we have been using in the region of 500 litres of water every day for a year and a half. I'm sure I would have noticed. Where is it all going? We don't have a swimming pool, no hose pipes and I don't tend to take 3 baths a day. I am going investigating because I really don't want to have to pay this bill. It's not even as if it is a little damp under foot in the living room or anything.

If you want to know if a water-like substance is in fact Heavy Water then you can test it by freezing it and then placing it in ice cold normal water. If it sinks it may well be Heavy Water. You might need to know this one day. Heavy Water is also 10.6% denser than normal water. Another fact.

Right, I'm off to feed our pet dolphins in the giant aquarium. Aquatic!

That is a racist comment. I would ask yourself what you think you are achieving with it.

Hello bro-in-law. ;o)
Did you have a great new years eve? Jesper kind of needed you that evening, he was the only man with 4 women!
Could you write a list of your birthday wishes? You will soon be an old (Frictionless) Man. Hehe...
New years hugs from J and P.
PS: Jesper saw your little question on his myspace the other day but he doesn't use it so you'd better ask him again later this month. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

So you have a dolphnarium in your living room? Classy! I bet it's a real winner at dinner parties. Talking point! Say "click-click skreeeek skreeeek akakakakak" to them for me. Dolphin greetings!

Actually the dolphinarium is in the orangerie. Citrus. We winter the oranges in the billiards room. Balls. We play billiards in the research library. Bookish.

Happy New Year to you too Pia, hope you have been having a good time.

I suppose you could get me a nice warm blanket for when Monica pushes me around the park in my wheelchair now that my old bones won't support me any more. And some boiled sweets to suck on now that all my teeth have fallen out and I can't afford false ones on my pitiful pension. What a cheeky monkey you are.

You didn´t say Happy New Year to me! or even Happy Birthday for that matter.

Mr Frictionless said...

That's because I don't know who the hell you are.
