Not sur eif this should be here or the annoying things thread but

 

alcohol.jpg

 

 

but I am pretty sure - based on "O' levels, "A" levels and a degree in Chemistry - that alcohol is a liquid

 

whiskey is a solution - but the alcohol is an organic chemical and a decent solvent

so is beer and vodka and lots of other alcoholic drinks

not a solution

[Pedant Mode] An alcohol is an organic molecule (organic in the parlance of organic chemistry) which is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) [/Pedant Mode]

I think it's more out of deference to the Beagles that have retrained as guide dogs after rescue from labs and who are struggling to kick the habit.

 

What were the Labradors doing to the Beagles that they needed rescuing from them???

Saw this on a recent trip to East London. I guess it could be true!

Reminds me, at my previous school one student studying the book entitled her essay "How to Kill a Mockingbird".

I saw the same for powergenitalia many years ago. Can't remember if it was true or a joke, and I'm not Googling whilst in a school to find out!

The VW Instagram page was real (I checked it for my post, from home!) I just checked it again today, and it's not there now.

 

:(

 

Edit: As far as the "Powergen link" goes, Snopes has a "ruling":

 

Link: Did a UK Power Company Choose an Unfortunate Domain Name for Their Italian Division? | Snopes.com

 

... the folks at Powergen maintained that they had nothing to do with the choice of domain name and didn't even have an Italian division. The powergenitalia.com domain apparently hosts the web site of a real Italian company (Powergen Italia) ...

 

I checked the PowergenItalia link, and it redirects to a site selling YouTube subscribers for various territories.
