Only prolem with 'ignore' is that you sort of only see one half of a conversation.

I was daftly, but definitely not deftly, making a pun.
ie 'Darren not being your type' - pretending you were protesting that you weren't him as well as you on WW and his posts weren't typed by you.
Please will everybody pretend to have nits on WW, or only scratch their heads when I can't see you, so I don't realise I'm the biggest nit of all.

Now heres a true one.
Sad, but true.
Last week, I was going to mention the time it had stopped at and put a link on to the 'Grandfather's Clock' song, but wasnt't sure if it was 5:25 or 6:25.
Anyroad, the next time I saw it, I thought there's a thing to remmeber it by.
the Leigh bus (Not pictured)

Replied: 4th Jan 2013 at 16:15
I'd say they have a long hand and a short hand, though I saw reference to clock fingers when I looked for the finger clock.
625: I didn't know the number of the Leigh bus, Dostaf, so have learned two new things today.
Techniques like that can be a great vehicle for memorising things.link
Me remembering 625 is another *matter though. (My short term memory seems to go on strike these days.)

It isn't the Leigh bus, Jo Anne. I was wrong.
Mickey's hands:
Each of Mickey's hands has only three fingers and a thumb. Disney said that this was both an artistic and financial decision, explaining "Artistically five digits are too many for a mouse. His hand would look like a bunch of bananas. Financially, not having an extra finger in each of 45,000 drawings that make up a six and one half minute short has saved the Studio millions." In the film The Opry House (1929), Mickey was given his white gloves which were a simple way of contrasting his naturally black hands against his black body.

Famous stunt by silent screen star Harold Lloyd.
Replied: 4th Jan 2013 at 16:55
Wikipedia:
Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema. Lloyd did many of these dangerous stunts himself, despite having injured himself in August, 1919 while doing publicity pictures for the Roach studio. An accident with a bomb mistaken as a prop resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand [3] (the injury was disguised on future films with the use of a special prosthetic glove, though the glove often did not go by unnoticed).
