Woodsinho Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The origin of the term doolally:A link between captivity and mental illness in the armed forces had been established in the late Victorian period and was reflected in the term doolally, a popular term for madness. In 1861, the British Army had set up a base and sanatorium at Deolali, Maharashtra, about 100 miles north-east of Mumbai. It served as a transit camp for soldiers who had finished their tours of duty (time-expired) and were waiting for a passage to Britain.Troopships left Mumbai between November and March, so a soldier who completed his tour outside those dates often had a long wait for transport. Confined to a restricted life in camp during the hot summer months, some soldiers broke down and behaved bizarrely; they were described as having the doolally tap.I feel better for having learned that.

Bigsby Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Not really today, but over the past wee while I've noticed lots of people walking (too poor for cars obviously) about carrying stuff in Farmfoods bags. I've never been in the place but I have deduced from this phenomenon that Farmoods issue "good" carrier bags, in a Next stylee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also dish them out freely as well, unlike these other brand name supermarkets who make you feel as if a rare orphaned mammal is dying each time they give you one of their flimsy offerings that split if you put any more than a loaf of bread in them.

What's the price on Fruit Shoots? Asda does 8 for 2 I think (the water ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about 20?They are the smaller bottles but it's a good price in any case I know that. We can't give the bairn the water ones, he goes nuts with the additives rush. Normal ones are OK.

Good to know.There is definitely something different about them, if it's not additives of some sort it may be sugar content but I do know it makes him go loony tunes whereas the normal ones don't.

Guest idol_wild Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.I once saw a documentary about Private Eyes (the "gentleman's" bar, just off Market Street), and some guy paid very good money to have one of the girls initiate sex by donning heels and stamping on his ballsack.I'm not sure which is worse.

I think that might just be a legend.Technically, yes, butterflies have "taste" receptors on their tarsi.I don't know much about Charlie Chaplin so i wouldn't know about that one. His granddaughter, Oona Chaplin, is hot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
