Umm "turning" ;-;)

Polar bears are left-handed

1) False - Albino or white furred animals can suffer from sunburn too.

2) True in a fashion - Oysters grow on Mangrove roots so at Low tide can be found to be growing on trees, hence the   Caribbean phrase re: oysters climbing trees.

3)  True - Polar bears are predominantly left-handed

There you go, Tighty, now on with work, for me, I mean!

The five chip leaders as we start level 3

Steve Redfern 22,000 Yawn, not again

Viktoria Szilasi 21,000

Stuart Oliver 18,000

Marcin Rejmak 15,500


The note on the piece of paper from my runner said "Hung female 21,000"

I had to clarify this comment, as I feared that the runner had stumbled on an unacceptable site on his computer.
