It's amazing you can fit a kettle in there. Or maybe the handbag itself has a plug and it's a spy-like gadget for the british secret service? :D

After 7 years of living in dust, I decided to order my room on thursday, it only took me 5 hours, at the end I had 5 bags of trash with useles staff to throw away. Now my room feels pretty lonelly :angry:. surprisingly in the process I found what I was looking for at the start, I guess this is not standard.

I agree; the staff is useless :angry:

Today's riddle:

How many red herrings can you fit in to a woman's handbag? (I'll give the answer by the end of the week. In the meantime, you can have your guess) :angry:

I don't know the answer but here is a true story which happened some years ago in my local club:
a 92 years old lady, playing together with her retired son, and me had dinner together at the same table. She chose fried and pickled herrings. After she ate one of the two she had enough but did not want to give the 2. back. So she opened her white handbag, took the fish by the tail and put it into it with the words "for tomorrow". Her son was eating together with others and could not prevent that, and I was too astonished... This lady walked her dog by driving her open red VW Cabriolet, doggy running beside it, until she became 90 and her son decided that she should not drive anymore.
