The Locker Room

Quick question. Right. I ride a two wheeled thing to work, and currently sense says no. keep of it in the snow. currently we have only bus/999 routes gritted. in the mornings roads may not be done, and buses were subject to not turning up / delay etc. today they called of the fleet at 1900, i was late due to an incident at work (very late!) i couldnt get home (until a colleague very kindly helped, who wouldn't be there if i was to be on time, i'd of got a bus!) anyways, until the "rescue" i was stranded. the company is saying if we dont come in we dont get paid and can get in bother (the latter being a rumor, that we will get interviewed on absence) we have 2ft …

The moon's gravity attracts water which causes tides. But does the moon's gravity apply force to everything else? For example... Would the forces applied to a tall building be affected in any way by the moon orbiting?

By a mouse! I feel violated. I need to get out of this house-sharing business.

...You find out they're on tag after being released from prison! Had a mate from my army cadet days friend request me a while back and as I was mates with him years ago I was happy to accept and have a brief chat about what we'd been up to (though it seems I was a little more truthful than he was). Anyway, his status today relates to him being released from prison and having trouble with his tag... erm, seeya Tony!
