Does a duck's quack echo?

Mutterings continued.

I think I may have mentioned "Mythbusters" before - SFX guys from San Francisco who attempt to determine the validity, or otherwise, of urban myths. Today's episode was very funny - two grown men trying to make two ducks, named Bob and Roy, quack on cue to determine if there is an echo. Turns out a duck's quack does echo, sort of.

A cooler day today, hurray! There was a nice westerly breeze coming through the lounge room window. And I nearly got blown away at the service station while trying to put petrol in Freddie.

The face in the sandwich phenomenon has got very silly. And funny.

I hope my friend Ash is getting credit for this idea. She reckoned that Lakeland should have a corral for husbands to sit in while their cardigan clad wives ooh and aah over the bake ware.

" M&S creches for men

LONDON (Reuters) - Husbands fed up with their wives’ Christmas shopping frenzies will be able to watch football in creches set up specially for men, Marks and Spencer has announced.

The creches are equipped with everything to keep men entertained while their other halves are punishing the plastic. "The first day of our creche was very successful and there was a large demand from men ... and also from relieved women!" an M&S spokeswoman said on Thursday. "Men can enjoy a drink, watch a film or a football match or even play like children with remote-control quad bikes," she added. The creches -- which are for Christmas only -- opened on Thursday in M&S stores in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, the Metro Centre in Gateshead, Cardiff, Marble Arch in London and Meadowhall in Sheffield."

Meadowhall, BTW, is huge. Ash and I passed it enough times on our several attempts to get into stupid Sheffield. Stupid Sheffield. Stupid Park roundabout. Stupid tram tracks.

Off to the panto tonight - an excellent excuse to heckle the actors.
