Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Not when you pick them up off the road (probably dehydrated), and take them to water, holding them by the shell...
their little legs start paddling furiously in mid-air, and when you set them down 6ft from the water, they're as good as an Olympic sprinter!! :shock:

OK, I'll put you out of your misery...
The collective noun for turtles is a "BALE".
Don't ask me why, it just is. 8-)

Now, can you give me an English word of more than 4 letters, which contains NO VOWELS?

And no asking Mr or Mrs Google!!

If you don't count Y as a vowel, the Rhythm is one.

El Gringo,
That's the one I was thinking of. The longest one I could find.
Using plurals, there's systs, trysts, myths and a few similar.
The 'y' is not a vowel. That's the secret.

Well in that case you could have rhythms as well.

You go Dave, I've got nothing I can think of.

Well, I was taught back in high school that the vowels are A E I O U and sometimes Y
That leaves both those examples out.
