It's my 40th today, so I'm sat here with a glass of champagne-style fluid feeling very old. Waiting for it to de-fizz a bit got me thinking:

If you weigh a bottle of champagne immediately after opening it, then use a home brewer's water trap to allow the CO2 to escape but to prevent evaporation, will the bottle and fluid be ligher when all the CO2's escaped several days later, or will it remain the same weight?

ha-pee-burf-day...

i do not know the answer to your conundrum, but i would suggest you drink the whole bottle sooner rather than later...

physics says it will be lighter!

and on a somewhat related note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! you can count that freebie i sent you as a birthday present then
it's time for life to begin!

Hurrah! I've got to get around to looking through all that this week. Had a quick look at the deck. Very nice idea, but must... drink... champagne-style fluid...

i turned 34 a few weeks ago, there's an equation type thing i have stumbled upon which might ease the pain of getting old...

old age is always 5 years ahead of whatever age you are now...i put this forward to some mates and they all agreed, so it must be true...

oa=(current age)+5

but im rubbish at maths...

tell me it's at least Cava?

i too now have a champagne style drink, if you class lager as champagne style! Here's to Tomo! happy birthday

Oh, yes it's Tesco's Vintage Cava all right.

Speaking of equations, that nice Stephen Fry said on QI once that there's an equation that tells you how old your perfect wife should be, based on the natural imbalance of mental maturity across the sexes. Dunno how scientific it is, but it's (your age/2)+7, which means I should be chatting up 27-year-olds. Wey hey!

Mind you, I'm also told that there's a constant stream of ravenous, recently divorced women out there in their prime somewhere, waiting to pounce on single chaps of a certain age. I do wish they'd identify themselves by way of a label or perhaps by forcing themselves on me...

you are never too old nor too young to be chatting up 27 year old women Tomo...

though there's a chap at work who is 26 and is dating a 46 year old woman...and yes, her son is the same age as him...

someone quite sordid once said that "women are like fine cheese, the older they get and the more visible the blue veins are, the tastier they become..."

...can't remember where that's from...

Happy Birthday TOMO Have a great day mate

so i should be hit on by 18 year olds. sounds fair!

Cheers dude. Cheers all!

Happy Birthday TOMO.

My birthday too! The 12th September is obviously a good day to be born!

Got some magic DVD's and some other magic stuff from the family this morning so I'll be kept out of mischief for a while!

Hope you have a great day... I'm being spoiled rotten!

Ah yes, you see. A very good week for birthdays is this - even in the People's Republic of Wet Yorkshire.

(That's not a spelling mistake!)

and happy birthday to pudding!

3 cheers for puddings everywhere!

hoorah!
