Careful, it's heavy!

You're not a good liar, either.

There's an astonishing bit of video from, I guess, the 1920s showing an American labourer shifting 2 cwt sacks (of grain?) from a shoulder height conveyer belt and loading them on to a flatbed lorry a few paces away. One sack every few seconds. He is a big bloke, maybe 6 foot 6 inches and a good 17 stone. It's clearly arranged so that he doesn't really do any lifting, just a bit of lowering.

[Liam Roberts]

It's only common sense to lift things correctly. We shouldn't have to be taught.

[Liam Roberts]

I'm a very good liar, but in this case I wasn't lying. Which means you're not very good at telling if something is a lie.

[Liam Roberts]

It doesn't say keep away from pets, just babies and young children.

Do us all a favour and publish all of them

I guess I better knock off the Romanian deadlifts...

[Tim Lamb]

I've said this before... Late '40's, grain sacks were supplied by the local railway. Filled to the brim with Wheat from the threshing m/c and stitched shut, they weighed 2.1/4cwt. Raised to shoulder height by a manually powered sack lift they were carried by a farm labourer to a dry barn. Not unlikely up a ladder as well.

No H&S and with female labour about, a great deal of exhibitionism.

[Liam Roberts]

And a lot more work achieved.

Ooooh hot sweaty girls taking off clothing.....

[Liam Roberts]

Is that a technique or are you lifting Romanians?

[Meanie]

Silly me, I often forget you're the best at everything you do and others don't match up to your qualities <sarcasm off>.

You're still not a good liar.

Recent nyms seem to be:

Stephen Watkin, Stuard Dogkin, Bruce Farquhar, Fred Johnson, Kirsty Ogilvie, Cristoper McVitie, Liam Roberts

However I don't bother filtering him on nyms, I use other methods so that any suspect posts get flagged without me needing to tweak the filter each time.

WARNING: You are about to eat a twinkie. This will subtract 75.2 milliseconds from your life expectancy, and increase your risk of a cardiac event by .0000003%. These changes cause your risk to pass a threshold and increase your health insurance premium by $407 per month.

Your bank indicates that you will not be able to afford that and you will lose your insurance.

Since health insurance is now mandatory, you will be assessed a penalty of approximately $24,567.78. You will not be able to afford that either, and will be guilty of tax evasion.

The penalty for tax evasion is life in prison. According to our computer, there will be an 81.56% chance of torture, a 95.2% chance of sexual abuse, and a 0% chance of twinkies.

Is that one twinkie worth it?

[William Gothberg" <"William]

Slave labour was it? They could always take another job.

[William Gothberg" <"William]

Just one question, is a twinkie a chocolate bar or a young person?

[William Gothberg" <"William]

Nice to know I'm keeping you busy. And you ought to fix your filter - why are you seeing replies to me? Your filter really doesn't work very well if that happens.

[William Gothberg" <"William]

That's called evolution.

[William Gothberg" <"William]

You're lucky you weren't jailed for endangering yourself. It's very very illegal to ignore health warnings.

She should have received nothing. Coffee is hot, end of story. She should have known this. When I make coffee, I BOIL the kettle. It only cools when adding some milk.

The most sensible idea is to have all the sizes true and comparable, then I can simply buy something from any shop the same size (or one bigger) than a label on something I have at home. Any shop who sells me something in a size I don't expect (too large or too small) has it returned with an angry complaint, then I shop elsewhere.
