Door

Don't take Migraleve before going to look at louvre doors in B&Q. I didn't know if I was Jim Morrison, Aldous Huxley or Mr Benn. @130story

Coal

In 3rd place, lignite. In 2nd place, graphite. And in 1st place, anthracite, your choice and mine for coal of the season. @130story

Wine

If in Act 1 you place a glass of red wine near a cream carpet, then in Act 2 it should tip over. Otherwise don't put it there. @130story
