strange things you do

[Garth]

right, there is a thread somewhere in this huge forum, where it is i dotn know, and i cant be bothered in looking for it
right now at the present point in time it's 1:10am on wensday morning, and im trying to stay awake untill 4am, this will be my online diary of the effort. you will see the strange things i get upto

basicaly trying to stay awake untill 4am, it will make it a 24 hour period i have been awake for, and it will help me settle into the nightshift routine for the next 2 weeks.

so for shits and giggles before i draged out a video tape, it was marked navy days. quite a good view. saw video i took of when i was in the navy, shows me hanging of the arse end of a .50 caliber cannon. aka 50 cal. shows me play ing silly buggers with glow in the dark sticks (night cemaphore) and looking at a flashing light (dont ask me what that was called i catn remember. was morse code though, had to read it)
also shows me doing stupid stuff with flags, (the phanetic alphabet one) shows me fast asleep at action stations ( like i have said before i could sleep standing up) also got some video footage of the day the front gun on my ship blew up, quite funny that bit, shows the gun going bang, bang, bang, booommm. cammera shakes and you hear me scream like a little girl

Hey Garth were you born with sea legs ?
My old man was a ammunition mechanic or what ever they were called... he used to install ammunitions into aircraft on a British aircaft carrier during WWII. Swordfish torpedo bombers, WildCats, Advengers etc...
I never got any sealegs... first boat I went on was the KI Ferry that made me chunder enough... LOL

[Garth]

the old sea legs, i spend the entire 1st week of my time at sea sick as a dog, i was puking everywhere, rather bad. i wouldnt recomend it to anyone, it's not like your normal sickness, you get a head ache, then you get dissy, then you puke, then you wanna eat, so you eat, it stays down for a few sec's and you puke all over again, t hen you go to the sick bay, ask for a quells, and you take the quells tablet, and well cause you cant hold anything down you soon bing up the motion sickness tablets

it's funny thinking back, about it, those who go out on a little boat on the harbour for a day or 2, well they dont get sea sick, but you got the likes of navy guys' and galls who can handle their time on a huge destroyer (like me) or one of these ffg's or ff's (aka frigats, or the new anzac class) and be fine. but stick us on a little harbour taxi for 40 min's and we are sick as.

[Garth]

woohoo i went up stairs and grabed a old suit case and opened it up, saw my old mc hammer parachute pants, well they fit, ill post pic's later on how trendy i look (i cant plug the camer in, i cant see straight)

[sixshooter]

Try finding a puzzle site or something that makes your brain strain... that will keep you amused... amazing how time flys when you've got something to try and figure out... I slept in badly today...no lessons... but I had an assignment on HTML to do so I've just had a crash course in HTML page design... omg was it tedious and boring... but I'm still awake...

Try and work this one out Garth...

There are 5 houses in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. Using the clues below can you determine who owns the fish?

The Brit lives in a red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
The green house owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

I know the answer...a math teacher gave us this question years ago...it took me about 30 minutes on pen and paper to work out...

If you are in a dark room with a candle, a wood stove and a gas lamp. You only have one match, so what do you light first?

Draw it up in a table, then use the clues to work out who matches what, it is actually quite easy.

Basically you have to link up the associations so that they all comply with each other... *hint start out trying to get the houses in the right order as headings of columns in a grid

Blair_355 answer above is correct...
