That's the Irish flag I believe. Côte d'Ivoire was a French colony - the clue's in the name. Same colours, different order.

I've discovered I can still load books on my aged Kindle Keyboard via email. When you register a Kindle you get an email address for that purpose. More fiddly that just dropping files in its Document folder, but it does work. (I'm so bloody annoyed at Amazon for that change to Kindles.)

No idea! Not something we discuss.

Sea lion skull looks a good fit.

I had the same thing happen! I forgot to leave my glasses in the locker, couldn't be bothered to go back. Coating was ruined, just in one session.

When my sister came to stay for a couple of weeks I became aware that she changed her bra every day. Every day! She had brought 10 bras with her. I only own three. Flabbergasted.

A Spanish friend showed me a group photo from her work, about 30 people, and said "See if you can pick out the one American." I did, really quickly. Because all the Spanish people had similar dark eyebrows. The American had pale, indistinct eyebrows.

That's so nice! I gave away a microwave, and the couple who took it brought along a little pot plant as a thank you.

I had a big heavy electric bike I used for my work commute, and once I retired it gradually morphed into a coat rack. I put it on Gumtree, a UK Craigslist equivalent, priced at £50 more than I actually wanted for it, which was well under half the price I'd paid. A full 27 SECONDS after I listed it, I had a buyer, and less than half an hour after that he was at my door. As expected, he offered £50 less than the listed price, and was delighted when I accepted. Bargain!

I noticed he'd come in a car, and wondered out loud if it had room for a big heavy bike. "No problem, it can fit loads!" As he wheeled the bike out the door, he realised just how heavy this big heavy bike was. But he forged on, managed to heave it into the car, and drove off a happy man.

Questions he didn't ask: How old is this bike? (Seven years or so.) What's the projected lifespan of the battery? (About another year.) How well is it holding a charge? (Not well at all.) How much is a replacement battery? (£200.)

I fully expected to hear back from him complaining about the big heavy lemon he'd just bought, but no. I guess he's enjoying his new coat rack.

It's got a boar's tusk on it.

Don't be embarrassed, you're keeping her in a job.
