Do you have a problem?  Ask Bounty and I will try to offer you helpful advice.  Please don't make posts too long or convoluted and don't ask anything of a sexual nature.

Not a problem as such but here goes:


I have to buy a £5 secret santa gift for a new guy at work. I know almost nothing about him since he started today. He's fairly short, tanned looking, he's 21 years old tops, and he is originally from Ipswich.


What do I buy him?

If 45 workmen take 6 hours to dig a gas pipe and fill it out,

and 35 take 9 hours to do the same job

the Q: is how does it take to fill up the keltes to the give them a tea break every 3 Quater per 2 hourrs!

Cherry, I think you should go for some aftershave, or maybe Lynx.

Quite a tricky one,  you're best to buy some CDM, melt it down and pour it into moulds.  You'll think you're making your own.

It depends on the size of the keltes

When I bake a fruit cake why do all the cherries sink to the bottom?
Title: Ask Bounty
Post by: on December 04, 2006, 03:42:22 pm
What sort of cherries are you using?  You could try to add a little milk to the cake mixture this will make the mix less cherry-permeable and you should find they stay where you want them.  Also fold in the eggs a little bit more slowly

There are special bottles of scent you can buy from Boots and other outlets specifically for this problem.  You leave a few drop in a small dish and it counteracts the smell.

You need to find out who he's working for and tell them to stop sending them.  If it's quite a big company write to the MD and complain in writing.

Give up smoking

Unfortunately other people's smoke clings to your clothes just as much. Roll on July I say.

I have special plug-ins that get rid of the smell.

Which reminds me has anyone seen that funny advert where the woman says "I can't stand bad odours..." - I think it's for Oust.

Dear Bounty,


I manufacture an air freshener which apparently nobody likes. People mutter words like 'musty' when I'm walking around Finefare. How do I save my career? And my sanity?

Dear bounty, I am very irritable, having hot flushes and feel the need to stab someone. What is wrong with me?

I think you really need a change of career. Try making novelty ice cream cones.  Also you shouldn't worry too much about your sanity, it's a mad, mad world.

You have the classic symptoms of menopause.  Try evening primrose oil and/or meditation.  You should be OK by the age of 60.

That makes eight....


The correct answer is two beans, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean.
