Crumbs. That's very similar to how I 'see' them:
Monday-deep buttery yellow, Tuesday-primrose yellow, Wednesday-green, Thursday-burgundy purple, Friday-brown, Saturday-palest blue, Sunday-golden yellow.
I only see these colours when I'm thinking in my head. Acute sufferers actually see the colours on the page when they read the words.Numbers and letters are also coloured in my head.
1 is white, 2 is yellow, 3 turquoise, 4 pinky orange, 5 pink, 6 blue, 7 orangy gold, 8 pale yellow, 9 deep blue.
It is interesting that most if the greatest composers and artists are known to have had the condition. I'm certain Arthur Lee did. |

I've been telling you for ages that wharfedle is ace, apart from that the three of you are clearly witches and should be consigned to the ducking stool. |

You being rude, rooplet?
I'm off to get my hair cut today, usually involves breasts resting on the shoulder, in the face or a view of a groin, I can't see why I always leave it so long.

LRR, that's done it, I can't think of Wednesdays as anything but Orange now. But then I have often taken advantage of their cinema offer.
Last week for instance Mr W and I went to see Hugo (not a bad film) £6.40 for the pair of us.
The woman and child in front of me at the counter had paid £23.95, but they had big bags of Pick and Mix, hotdogs and drinks.
First full day off for weeks, had the chance to go shopping with my sister in law, insanity beckoned there so I opted for looking after her 2 kids instead.
A joke told by the 6 year old....What is a mushroom's favourite vegetable? Answer. A squash. They both thought it hilarious but oddly, I just didn't get it. Perhaps it's an age thing.

Your neices\nephews are not funny.
In Aldbrough.
It's rubish.
wi-fi doesn't work.
Good to see Mother and Sister Terrorist though.

Always thought they were strange.
Aldbrough, all that bracing sea air, nearly as good as the fresh hill/mountain-top air of the West Riding. |

Oops, sorry 
I've just told my 6 year old the joke, "Mum, your not funny" was his reply.
Just got back from a very drunk & disorderly weekend in Manchester, no hint of a hangover whatsoever. Result.  |

DARTHWALL!!!
Interesting quote tonight from Professor Brian Cox (oh, we girls do like Cox) in his lecture on BBC2 tonight in clarification of the fact that physics is constantly evolving:
"There are no absolute truths in science".
Keep that old grey matter open and flexible! All these established rules WILL be broken, it's the only truth.

You're not listening. Tut tut. There are no absolute truths in science. That means that c is not fixed, merely that we only have sufficient current knowledge to have assumed it is, a fast becoming outmoded concept now subject to imminently change.
I daresay another couple of decades reseach may lead us to fix it again at a different constant. Temporarily. |

Wormy - you're using uncertainty as a guarantee that something specific, and quite unlikely, will happen?
Here's a theory on the FTL neutrinos...
Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Mystery Claimed Solved via Special Relativity
It’s been three weeks since CERN scientists released the news that neutrinos had been measured moving faster than the speed of light between two laboratories, as measured by super accurate GPS. Since then, specialists have been pouring over the data looking for an explanation of the event. The general concensus is that the CERN scientists must have missed something, and that the neutrinos are still bound by the universal speed limit, c. Ronald van Elburg at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has made a convincing argument citing special relativity as the culprit for the misfit neutrinos. It’s a rather complicated story, but simply put, van Elburg says that CERN scientists failed to account for the motion of the GPS satellites relative to the Earth. For most uses, this is a negligable effect, but when measurement accuracy needs to be within nanoseconds, this relativistic motion can make a big difference. In fact, according to van Elburg’s calculations, the adjustment for special relativity equates to about 64 nanoseconds, almost exactly the time discrepency observed at CERN.
And more...

You chose weakness over incorrectness. I like that. 
It's not paradoxical. It might well be nonsense.

Might get a budgerigar, what colour though green or blue?
I could share that cuttlefish thing with them and make my bill razor sharp, then I could open a sushi bar and prepare the sushi by flipping it up in the air with my webbed foot and skilfully chopping it into sashimi as it fell to Earth,(Newton that, to continue the science theme) I reckon that's be right popular, I'd be on The One Show and everything, Celebrity Goose Brother, all that shizzle.

Yes, your argument was weak in longevity. And therefore will ultimately be proved incorrect anyway.
And maintaining an open mind only once things have been 'tied down' is the very definition of paradoxical, surely. I think someone's let your rats out and you're having to make it up as you go along. |

One of my aunties had a green one, Joey, when I was small. It talked a lot. Her sister loved it and bought a blue one for her own house down Ella Street. Sadly, it only said 'hello' on very rare occasions.
It was unfortunate that the local general store, Penny Wise, halfway down Ella Street up until the seventies, had a minor bird whose narrations made my auntie's blue budgie pale even more into insignificance. Forgive me, Darth Wall, but these are direct quotes as I remember them as a tiny five year old. "SHOPPP!!!" on arrival of a customer. "Shut the f***ing door!" if they didn't immediately do so, followed by a medley of comments aimed at their specific purchases, and a final "Shut the f***ing door!" as they left.
I adored it and asked for a minor bird every Christmas and birthday to no avail. |

There used to be one at Hornsea Potteries when I was a nipper.
I first learned there that wasps are not to be squeezed when I was about three.

Had turkey as Mother Terrorists yesterday, twas quite nice although i prefer the dark meat and this was just a crown.
The highlight of the weekend for Sister Terrorist was when Mother Terrorists loveable but bungling husband managed to spill a full glass of water in my shoes shortly before I was about to head home.
An unfortunate incident involving spray paint which I have been warned not to mention happened on the way over.
Ruddy icy up at Secret Hill Top Lair, luckily this meant I could try out my new Yak Trax which I purchased for just such an occurrence earlier in the year on a sojourn to Ambleside. |
