Now where have we heard that before? 
Something to do with cheese maybe.

As @Geof_Cox said elsewhere with his usual wisdom
âNote to self: never introduce the subject of cheese into somebody elseâs thread.â

I need to be clued up here â whatâs the fromage connection? 
Someone mentioned the word âoutrageousâ (was it in a video clip?) and @David_Spardo recalled one of Liz Trussâs finest moments, on the topic of cheese imports.
A thread that started as emigrate to France rather quickly morphed into food, and particularly cheese 
Completely over my head! 
Ha! Ha! That Truss and cheesegate thread, now consigned to the archives no doubt, is full of wonderful outraged humour. I hope that in a few years time we can look back and smile.
And talking about cheeseâŚ

And now theyâve changed places. 
Funny how many of our threads here morph into food⌠
Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, again, asking why I didnât do something useful with my time,
âlike sitting around in the Garden bar and drinking John Smiths isnât a good thing.â
She is âonly thinking of me,â she said, and suggested I go down to the old folks Centre and hang out with the fellas. I sent her an e-mail telling her I had and that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club. She replied, "Are you nuts? Youâre 72 years-old and now youâre going to start jumping out of airplanes? I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, âGood grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.â âOh man, am I in trouble,â I said, âI signed up for five jumps a week!â The line went dead. Life as a Senior Citizen isnât getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun to wind the kids up.

A man took hi blonde girlfriend to her first American football game. They had great seats right behind their teamâs bench.
After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. âOh, I really liked it,â she replied, âespecially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldnât understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.â
Dumbfounded, her date asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âWell, they flipped a coin, one team got it, and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was, âGet the quarterback! Get the quarterback!â Iâm like, hello? Itâs only 25 cents!â

Chinese astronauts have landed back on Earth after six months. Not sure what they brought with them.
Also take a look at the reviews for this remarkable deviceâŚ

Not humorous - far from it - sorry!
âInspired by the âfallstreak cloudâ phenomena where holes are formed in clouds when water temperature is below freezing but has not frozen due to lack of ice nucleation particles. Dr Zarkov developed a device that fires nucleation particles into the cloud where they cause a portion of the water to freeze, which triggers a domino effect (the Von-Sydow process) causing water vapor around it to also freeze then fall to earth. The result is a large circular hole in the cloud that lasts up to an hour or more before requiring another blast from the gun.â
If itâs anything like cloud seeding then itâs potentially very harmful. From the Guardian 30/08/01
On August 15, 1952, one of the worst flash floods ever to have occurred in Britain swept through the Devon village of Lynmouth. Thirty five people died as a torrent of 90m tons of water and thousands of tons of rock poured off saturated Exmoor and into the village destroying homes, bridges, shops and hotels.
The disaster was officially termed âthe hand of Godâ but new evidence from previously classified government files suggests that a team of international scientists working with the RAF was experimenting with artificial rainmaking in southern Britain in the same week and could possibly be implicated.
Oh Sue, you took this so seriously. Itâs actually a joke !
The FLO packaging of telecopes etc includes a message âWarning : may contain cloudsâ.
A familiar complaint among astrophotographers is that the more stuff astrophotographers buy, the thicker the clouds become.
An example commentâŚ
The problem with this bit of kit is that it is just too powerful. I used it over Cornwall for about a week on and off and after about 3 months, we had half a day of sunshine and clear blue skies! On a recent holiday to the Bishops Ring Nebula, I only had to use it once and quite a lot of sky was visible and I could look back and see the rings around Skegness quite clearly.

Dr Zarkov (played by Topol) was the mad scientist and Max Von Sydow played Ming the merciless in Flash Gordon for the 80s remake.
