Too often to count on both counts. I thought that was normal.

3000 fish caught in naturally occurring pond inside shopping mall in Bangkok.
There was a 4 story mall in Bangkok. The owners added 7 more stories to it without the proper paperwork. The city forced them to tear down the 7 extra stories. This left no roof on the mall. The rain came. The mall filled up with water. The neighbors complained about all the mosquitoes breeding in the mall pond. The mall owners shrugged. The neighbors released some fish in the mall pond to eat the mosquitoes. The fish bred. So the city just caught the 3000 fish, and will drain the pond. But the mall owners must fix the mall themselves. The city won't do that. There. Now you don't need to read the article. Last edited by glatt; 01-21-2015 at 11:38 AM. |

As someone sitting in a PUB (no, not drinking alcohol) which resembles a nursery at this time of day, I can attest that mothers feeding the noisy little poop machines is the least of the venue's worries. It stops their gobs up for a start - pre-speech the things are unpleasantly and constantly squally and screechy.
The two worst offenders have just left, and I'm shaking my head like a dog coming out of a lake, trying to get my hearing back. Take babies to an event based on listening? No. Not until they create a device to project subtitles on real live speech.

yer funny.
But I think you're looking at this particular event all wrong. I reckon all the attendees would be familiar with the sounds babies make, and it's likely that most or all of the attendees would be "fans" of babies, if you will. It's not likely, in my estimation, that the listening required at such an event would be significantly interrupted by squalling, crying babies. As you yourself pointed out, there are stoppers for gobs, at a ratio of two-to-one at least. (excepting multiple births, mothers who still breastfeed their six-year-old daughters , etc. wet nurses count on the other side of the ledger.)

OMG Carr.
I had to put my head back and guffaw at that. It was perfect, from the subject matter to the quote. I now you're right, Bruce. I've just been sharing my health woes with Carruthers via PM. I was very grumpy that day. Let's just say that orifices other than baby's mouths can feel like they're stoppered up. Thank goodness for healthy young breeders who supply us with the helicopter pilots of the future.

Why couldn't they simply say egg plant?

Aubergine I can remember because I think of it as a color, and that circles me back to eggplant. But courgette? I cannot keep the line between that and zucchini, it just won't stick.
