I am not sure I want to know why you would be applying your haemorroid cream at the beach...

 

Playing Devil's advocate, Haemorrhoid cream is basically an anti-inflammatory that reduces vascular swelling, combined with some effective local anaesthetic. It actually has many non-haemorrhoid uses including, but not limited to, reducing bruising - it's apparently very effective when applied to a black eye. Or so I'm told.

 

Haemorrhoid cream cited as an example of something people would be inclined to steer away from stealing. Couldn't think of another example/alternative.

 

:(

 

Roll up cash and store it in a tampon tube ;-) Or fold it into some 'lady products' or a nappy. A bottle of lube? A tub of nipple cream? A bottle of prune juice or 'industrial laxatives'?

Can you name anything that isn't natural, that is, made from something in Nature ? It's all in the semantics.

 

We are all made from Star Dust

 

although exactly how natural those blue slush drinks are is debatable in any environment

If we want to be technical, plastic is a natural product - especially the stuff derived from crude oil.

A bit of a squeeze, but this album is generally considered not to be "parental guidance" yet Rod clearly, or not-so-clearly growls "fooking california" so I'd consider it badly labelled.

And putting my A level Chemistry hat on, it’s organic too.

Approved - using my Chemistry Degree

 

I get annoyed by the concept of 'organic' food - organic is a specific type of chemical molecule - it is just another case of technical words being hijacked for use that is different in little ways - which just gets in the way of people who need to use the word in its proper way

 

we all know different examples - my favorite is RAID - redundant array of INEXPENSIVE disks - when I first came across it. Then the marketing dept. of big IT companies got hold of it and didn't like the inexpensive bit - so they changed it to independent :mad:

I've been thinking that every time it came on the radio!

 

Terrible song in general though.

Can anyone translate the script (arabic?), or does it just say "Do not eat - for infidels only"

I'm interested to know exactly what it SHOULD say.

Better take out that 'over 50 life insurance' that creepy bloke on the telly keeps telling me about then - so I can pay the fine after 'the end'
