Judy’s been on my back all morning about fixing the sink. Eventually, I finally relented and agreed to let her get on with it. Meanwhile, I nipped down to the local where I got into a conversation with the landlord. The poor man knows next to nothing about drink and I had to give him a few pointers as to how to properly store wine. You probably don't know this but I could have been a professional oenologist. I have been blessed by enormous taste buds, twice the size of those of the average man.I have three facts for you today:
1. Alcohol can be good for the body but only if drunk through the nose and at high enough levels to pickle your organs.
2. The ancient Egyptians first discovered alcohol and used it in many of their religious rites.
3. A mummy's arms are tied down to its body to stop the recently dead from trying to drown their sorrows and get lost before they reach the afterlife.

Thanks for that, you learn something new every day, I think.
Well - I have to say I'm impressed. You sound a lot more fun and interesting than I've ever would have guessed from the TV programme. Perhaps I should watch a bit more than the usual 7 minutes that I usually able to stand - I mean manage. It just goes to show you 'can't judge a book by its cover'.
I have so many questions. Like the Terminator - I'll be back.
If you promise not to be a one week wonder I'll link to you on my bloglist.
All the best.
Secretary, I learn something new every minute of the day. And what's more important, I don't forget what I learn. I have something better than a photographic memory. I have a televisual memory. It's the same as a photographic memory but also has adverts.
Thinker, some people also call me the Thinker. I think it's because I do so much thinking. Can't help it. Born to it.
I'll go and add you both to my blogroll. It'll give you both chance to win in my monthy telephone quiz called 'I Say! You Pay!'
Richard, I also want the chance to be in your telephone quiz, so please put my name down even if the winner's been chosen already.
SM, I'll go and add you to the list of winners right this minute.
