I read somewhere that tap water in London is drunk and pissed 8 times already when you drink it.

Probably many more times than that, no water has left the planet since it was formed (created for chico) it doesn't go anywhere but up in the sky back down again and then drunk then pissed out again back up in the air... and so on.

What about Lisa Scott-Lee from Steps?

If I knew it came from Catherine Zeta Jones or that one from Pride and predudice I'd be happy.

Git.

That's Mr Git to you.

Cherenkov radiation.

It's known as Chernokov Radiation and its what makes the cooling pools in nuclear reactiors glow blue. Nice to look at but you wouldnt want to get any on you

And then after you've drunk it and pissed it out again they make Carling with it.

Polonium-210 makes water warm, and it glows in nice colours that depend upon magnetic activity of the planet: must be seen to believe how beautiful it is...

Australians have been drinking piss for years. Their marketing chaps just call it beer.

The only reason Castlemaine is called XXXX is because they can't spell piss.

No it was definately Potassium. From memory there was Sodium which fizzed a bit in water and produced a bit of hydrogen. Then there was Lithium which was a bit more active and then Potassium which was pretty violent. The last time I did the old drop it in water and then test for hydrogen with the lighted splint, the resulting 'pop' blew the @rse out of the boiling tube.

Otherway around, the order is Lithium which fizzes a bit, Sodium - fizzes quite a lot, Pottasium which catches fire and can go bang and Rubidium which does go bang and can spontaneoulsy combust in air.

After that you have Caesium which is liquid at room temperature and really rather unpleasant and Frankium* which makes bad jokes and dodgy double entendres untill you put it back in the bottle.

*Yes I know it's Francium, but quite franky there is not much amusing about an element that has only ever been photographed once and that needed a particle accelerator to do it.

Indeed. But the dear old Aussies will only drink pure H20 that you very much.

Most Australians know that if you get stuck in the desert you can get by drinking your urine.
I like you so much V that you can have mine
