The trend difference in atomic radius between Ne and Na?

Aren't they different though because Ne is a noble gas? So it doesn't follow the across the period/down the group pattern? UGH

Oh yes Georgia is gorgeous and Toy Boy was left in Georgia.

And I suppose if Carolina charged 1 Euro instead of 1 Dollar, she'd probably need about 1,000,000 clients to make a decent living.

Isn't Carolina an American place-name too? I'm sure it is.

There is a great deal of literal colour to this.

No there isn't

I spent hours in Heathrow duty free this summer too. It wasn't romantic and I didn't bum around the take out joints, but it was quite fun

'The youngest, coolest, best writers in the world.'

What modesty.

I love how he can't help but smile as it plays

Yes it's a very contracted version of "I wanna...oops...I'm coming home".

Thought so

In the last line, does he sing 'I'm woming home?'

Sorry if this has been pointed out, but should the first post lyrics be corrected after the booklet revealed it's lyrical secrets?

'All I see just don't make sense'.

I always secretly hoped he wouldn't stoop to rhyme amazes with amazing.

I think you could argue that killing animals in the wild is at least preferable to breeding them for that purpose.

 

Did you see any stuffed animals in SA? I remember a pair of lions in Kruger Park but you couldn't buy them unless you were South African because it was illegal to ship them outside the country.

 

I saw the taxidermy shop in France that Mika mentioned and noticed there was a stuffed lion and I wonder where it came from. Unless it is 19th century and has just been traded around like an antique.

 

It's all a bit mental IMO.

Of course - but surely not killing them at all, no matter what the purpose, is preferable?

Yes - there were stuffed cheetahs in Kruger... At a cheetah sanctuary! You could argue it's for sake of knowledge/seeing them in detail or whatever, but it was plain disturbing when they had stuffed a row of cubs suckling their mother... Mixed messages!

The pair of lions you talked about - just makes me feel a mix of digust and discomfort, really. It's another example of when humans decide their own amusement/pleasure is worth more than anything else on this planet. Sigh.

(this was a sort of post I never expected to type when I joined MFC )

I should think those animals were dead before taxidermy. I mean,

they weren't lab animals who were tested on or killed specifically for the

purposes of being mounted and displayed.

Depends how old they are - most 19th century stuffed animals were poached for the purpose.

(I just know people who are interested in this sort of thing okay don't judge me )

Indeed it is! I wonder how low their expectations were though...

Hopefully 53%

He has my glasses!

:lmfao:

 

I do. I really, really do.

Oh the -y.

We manage to never talk about the thread title. Whoioooops. Shall we start talking about poo now or make our leave?

Would you really turn up for that? That makes you, me, Sariflor and lollipop_monkey. It's already turning into a mob.

OH OF COURSE I WOULD.

This is gonna be crazy. I hope we don't disturb the regulars or upset the locals.

Nas doesn't call me the Haiku Savant for nothing.

I thought you'd appreciate the Comic Sans in my sig.

"My inspiration? / Oh, my trip to Africa / Dik diks everywhere."

 

That touches my very soul, you know.

That's what I've heard.

 

I am still waiting for the Fijian secret gig. I dare everyone to turn up for that.

I've definitely missed something here...

But... I've always wanted to go to Fiji! HONESTLY.

People always have a justification for invading London (flights are cheap, they love London, blah, blah) but I'm not quite sure how you justify going to Blackpool.

But the Blackpool Tower is just so MOVING! And all the RIDES! BEAUTIFUL!

I am starting to get concerned about Mika's car crash stories. I know he is exaggerating (if he really drove off a cliff in Wales he wouldn't live to tell about it ) but still...

IT'S OKAY I WOULD SAVE HIM, with my Welshness.

*imagines going for a walk up the mountain and stumbling across the scene*

The new mix of Make You Happy slips back into the ‘60s like Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite meets Eleanor Rigby meets Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. The strings are f*cking amazing. Can’t get enough of this. I think it will always be one of my favourites.:

I haven't listened to anything yet but this caught my eye Can't wait to hear.

But Mika won't be on straight away - you'd have time

*checks* No, the only train anywhere near in time is before the end of college.

But there'll be more dates right?

The album just leaked. Ironically the same version I pre-ordered.

Don't worry, I'm not posting any links.

Oh dear.

Most definitely not listening, as much as I want to

Why would you be skipping an hour of college?

To catch a train to Manchester.

Taking the better path and not skipping an hour of college. I better be rewarded for this in the next life. Have fun everyone!

*dies in a hole*
